Chapter 99: College
~Dove~

Dove || Zerenity

"Um, hello?"

"ZERENITY!"

"Dovey~Chan?!" She squeaks.

"Why aren't you answering your phone, huh?! I had to call your mom just so I could talk to you." I growl.

"S-Sorry! I'm sorry!"

"You aren't sorry! Stop studying before I go to Phoenix Drop again and punch until you will never be able to study again!"

"B-But I can't just stop studying!"

"Why? Huh? Why not?"

"Because I have to make sure all my grades equal A+."

"Just use the smartness you already have! Oh my Irene. Did you know your studying is less effective if you don't give your brain time to rest?"

"My brain rested the day you came over."

"Rest more." Suddenly, she bursts into tears. "Um? Zerenity?"

"You're right, I should take more breaks." She sobs. "This is the whole reason Gene is mad at me."

"Gene?"

"Yes. He's upset since I haven't been answering calls or going to see him or anything." She sniffs. "I just want to get into a really good college, what if he breaks up with me because of that?"

That last sentence hit way too close to home. "Stop worrying about college!" I blurt suddenly upset. "You're already good enough so just chill out." She stays silent aside from her occasional sniffling. I can't believe I'm about to say what I'm about to say. "I guess you should just go talk to him or something like that."

"Yeah! I should! Bye, Dovey~Chan! Miss you, see you whenever you come back home."

||Call End||

If she's going to cry about her and Gene all the time, how am I going to direct her towards Travis? How am I going to direct her toward Travis if Travis keeps getting new girlfriends?

What's up with Dante's plan anyway?

At the moment, my phone rings.

Well, speak of the devil.

Dante || Dove

"Dove! Hey!"

"Teach Travis how to reject people."

"That literally came out of nowhere. People this day and age need to learn how to have a conversation."

"I don't have time for your funny business. Why did you tell Travis to date girls who weren't Zerenity?"

"He told you the plan? Did he tell Zerenity?"

"I don't know. I don't think he's that dumb even though he's dumb enough to date someone even though the love of his life is right in front of him."

"It's all part of the plan, calm down. He has to date chicks to make Zerenity jealous and one day, she'll come crawling to him."

"That's stupid."

"You're stupid."

"WHAT?!"

"Kidding! Love ya, little sis!" He chuckles nervously.

"If you ever say that again, I'm hunting you down and you won't be seen ever again."

"Noted. Sorry."

I take a deep breath and continue. "Why did you call me anyway?"

"Can't a loving brother just call his twin sister to see how she's doing?" I just stay silent knowing this isn't why he's calling. "Alright, fine. I lost my wallet and now I have no way to get to school because I don't have gas in my car or money for a bus. Can you just send me a little bit through pay pal?"

"This is a joke."

"Sadly, it's not."

"I told you to just live on campus but you insisted on getting an apartment, now do you see the problem here?"

"I get it, you're always right."

"Are you trying to butter me up?"

"Uh, maybe?"

"You're lucky I'm a nice sister."

"Thank you, Dove. You're the best sister ever."

"... ... ... Stop with the flattery before I punch your face. I'll only send you enough to get gas."

"Thanks."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Now teach Travis how to reject people."

"What? But that's going to ruin the plan. Has Zerenity shown any signs of being jealous?"

"I don't know? I don't go-- Oh. Maybe she has, so what?"

"So... I'm not going to do a thing. Sorry, sis."

"Ugh. If only I could do it myself. I should have gone to PDU."

"Yeah, then you could go to school with Gene and me."

"Nevermind. I'm glad I go to RBU. I'm hanging up, see ya whenever."

||Call End||

Their whole plan is to just make her jealous? Couldn't that go wrong? What if she decides he doesn't like her and she ends up leaving him for good?

They're both idiots.

"Um, Dove?" My roommate says as she walks in. "Can you help me with something?"

My work is never done, is it?

I should be a superhero at this point, I'm just so great at helping people.
