Shoo The Pest Away

glanced outside. I can’t wait to tell them the good news. I wonder how they’ll react uh, for sure,

they’d be so amazed with me.

“Could you make it faster?” I scowled. I was getting impatient already.

“Yes, Miss”

After more than thirty minutes, I finally arrived at ‘The Usual’ hang out place. I stepped out after

telling the driver to wait. I went in and smiled automatically as I saw the girls in our usual spot.

Taeyeon saw me and she told the others. I waved at them enthusiastically and went to them.

“Hey, girls! Gosh, I’ve got good news today” I said as I dropped myself beside Hyuna.

“Rally?” Jihyun asked, raising her brows.

“Yep” I chuckled. “You see, I finally shooed the pest away”

“So, have you girls think-oh”

I looked up and saw Jessica. I stood up defiantly, frowning.

“What are you doing here?” I asked. The girl snorted in response.

“Jess, sorry about this. We’ll settle this” Hyuna said. I looked at her, feeling betrayed.

“What’s the meaning of this? I asked her but she just gave Jessica an apologetic smile as she

stood up and pulled me to a corner.

“Gosh, Dara! Are you really that slow? You almost blew our cover!” she said, rolling her eyes.

“What are you talking about? And why are you hanging out with that girl? I thought all of you

were busy or something that’s why not one of contacted-“

“Gosh, Dara! Spare me the rants, will you? We’re doing you a favor here!”

“What favor are you talking about? If this is-“

“Can’t you see? We’re trying to SPY on her, befriend her. Who knows, we might discover a dirt

in her”

I became silent for a moment. “Oh” I mumbled, then chuckled. “I almost believed what the pest

told me”

“What did he say?” she asked sharply.

“Well, he kind of said you guys abandoned me already and that you were seen hanging out with

Jessica, that kind of stuff. Hey, are you alright? You look pale”

“Oh, I’m alright. Really? He said that? Don’t believe him. That’s weird, though. We hang out

with Jess in her house and some clubs; I wonder how he saw us?”

I clicked my tongue. “The pest is obviously making up stories. Surely, he doesn’t know where

that girl’s place is, and he can’t possibly get access to high-end clubs”

“Yeah, you’re right. Oh, here’s a thing. Let’s pretend we’re not friends anymore”

“But why?” I asked.

“So Jess won’t be suspicious. In that way, she’ll trust us. Ugh, that girl totally envies you”

“I knew it!” I smirked. “She’s insecure”

“Totally. So, are we on?”

“Neh” I answered.
