Song: Selena Gomez - Bad Liar

That's a great one- Dancinglove

I absolutely love that!- Summerheat

Hold on something is weird- Drinkingwine

What's weird? It's perfect!- Sellingfish says sounding confused.

Not what was said you fool!- Drinkingwine replies.

Then what you idiot?!- Sellingfish asks.

Who said it. The voice, I know all our voices yet I don't recognize that voice.- Drinkingwine replies.

My eyes widen as I exchange looks with Kristina.

Dude you must not know our voices then if you don't know who it is. Who else would it be if not one of us.- Dancinglove says.

That's my point, who else would it be?- Drinking wine replies.

Okay, you're creeping me out now- Phoenixfeathers says with a timid voice her fear evident in it.

Don't be, he's just bored- Dancingwine says.

Dude, I'm telling you, someone that isn't one of us spoke. Fine, who spoke? It was feminine so that cancels ShangYe, Dancinglove and I. Summer heat?- Drinkingwine asks.

Not me- Summerheat answers.

Phoenixfeathers?-Drinkingwine asks.

Not me either- Phoenixfeathers says with her timid voice.

Sellingfish?- Drinkingwine asks.

Definitely not me! - Sellingfish says.

Kristina? - Drinkingwine asks the tone of his voice lower and much more patronizing.

Hey why are you calling all of us by our handles But calling Kristina by her name!- Sellingfish protests.

"You're right her handle does much more justice," He says a teasing hint in his voice as he says "The most beautiful Kristi?" 

I fake puke as she giggles like a high school girl whose crush just called her name for the first time and answers, "Yes?" In such a seductive voice that I lean away and look at her like she was a stranger. Which she definitely felt like right now.  Who are you and what have you done to my friend? My eyes say as it stares at her. She shrugs back at me and giggles some more to which I wince at the blatant flirting.

"Did you just speak?" He asks to which I nod vigorously. Surely regardless of how he may think he recognizes voices, they just got to know each other. There's no way he'd know she wasn't the one who spoke if she lies.....but that traitor...

"No!" She quickly answers selling me out.

"You traitor!" I scream out before realizing what I had just done again...

"Oh! There it is the voice!" He says gleefully as I shake my head and glare at Kristina once more.

"Kristina who's it?" He asks.

I glare at her threatening murder should she sell me out. "Actually....actually...I mistakenly pressed play on a movie.." Kristina says to which I let out a breath of relief finally relaxing. When she decides to use her brains Kristina could be counted on. But...

"That's not right," Shang Ye suddenly says cutting her off and causing me to tense up.

What's not right?

"What's not right?"- Drinkingwine says as if having read my thoughts.

"The voice Drinkingwine was referencing said Mom Hera is having sex as if in direct reference to our discussion. Do you mean to tell me that it was also from a movie that just happened to have the same name as our main characters name while discussing the same topic we were discussing?" Shang Ye asks.

Shang Ye, you do realize it's okay to be dumb sometimes right? I lament.

"That's true," -Drinkingwine agrees.

"So they're different voices?" Dancinglove asks.

"If I'm to guess..."Shang Ye says and pauses. As I hold my breath grabbing tightly onto Kristina's hand.

"...It's the same voice. Right Hannah?" He asks in the most enthralling  and persuasive voice ever that I answer,

"Right,"

Before I am slapped to realization at what had just occurred by Kristinas stare.

"Wrong I mean...shit!" I shut up.

Hannah? Who's...wait LITTLEHANNAH?!!- Drinkingwine exclaims.

"What littlehannah?" Dancinglove asks.

"Shang Ye's littlehannah," Summerheat says.

Hold up what?

"Oh, that LittleHannah! Hey LittleHannah!" Sellingfish says as if that was true and not up to argument.

Wait! Why is she accepting that? When did I become Shang Ye's LittleHannah?! I wanted to refute that notion but knowing this group that will just make them more suspicious. So unfair! 

"We finally meet her!" -Phoenixfeathers.

"LittleHannah speak some more!" -Drinkinglove

"That's right, she spoke for a second but loved her voice. I need more!" - Sellingfish

"Ouch what are you smacking me for!"- Sellingfish

"What do you mean you need more? Is she your LittleHannah?- Drinkingwine

If she's Shang Ye's then she belongs to us all- Sellingfish.

Good point- Summerheat

Great point- Phoenixfeathers

"Are you done?" Shang Ye's clear voice cuts through all the noise immediately invoking silence. Satisfied with the silence he continues, 

"That's a great idea LittleHannah. In future if you're ever listening in to our conversations feel free to share your thoughts," He says.

 I sincerely just wanted to enter the ground now from the embarrassment. 

"Drinkingwine, do you want to write the next chapter or should Phoenixfeathers?" he asks skillfully diverting the attention from me and just like that they go back to the talk about the book.

Letting out a sigh of relief, I get up and return to my bed. My phone pings notifying me of a notification. I pick up my phone. It's a Private message from Shang Ye. Nervous and excited, I hesitate but quickly open it up not wanting to keep him waiting for a reply if his message required one.

"I know Drinkingwine might seem like a playboy who only thinks of sex but he is actually quite loyal and sensitive. One thing he hates the most is liars and hence why I had to step in. Knowing Drinkingwine, he would never have let it go otherwise and your friend might have had to keep lying for you which wouldn't be good for their budding relationship. I'm sorry for revealing it was you," 

My lips turn up, so that was what happened. It's still Shang Ye that is the best, thinking ahead and watching out for his friends and even mine who he didn't know well. My heart was warmed.

Fine, if Shang Ye trusted Drinkingwine then he couldn't be so bad, I'll stop judging his relationship with Kristina and support them.

"No worries, I'm not mad. I was also wrong for eavesdropping and wanting her to lie for me. Thank you for helping her!" I reply.

You're welcome. Have you eaten?

Eaten? Why did Shang Ye care whether I had eaten? Most likely he's just being polite, I conclude and quickly type back.

"Not yet, was going to eat some noodles before I sleep," I type back and click send not expecting a reply but almost immediately my phone dings. I pick it up. He messaged me. Curious and happy I open it up.

Mmm noodles is not the best but okay. Make sure to add an egg, meat and vegetables as noodles alone don't provide enough nutrients. Also, try not to sleep right after eating. Wait at least 2 hours before sleeping.

I smile widely, as I reply. "Mhmm, will definitely do that! Thank you Master!"

I think that's all till I get a reply.

Don't you feel it's too weird if you call me Master? We should work on changing that. Okay I need to go now, I have an important meeting with clients from Japan. Goodnight.

We should work on changing that, we should work on changing that  WE SHOULD WORK ON CHANGING THAT?! TO WHAT?! My eyes widen.

                                                                               ****

     It was finally spring break. After spending the past week going through exams and assignments I am 100% ready for the break. Goodness knows I need it. Kristina was going to Florida while I was going to be staying in my uncles home who lived in a town an hour away.

They say I did something bad. Then why's it feel so good?

My phone rings I look up.

They say I did something bad
But why's it feel so good?
Most fun I ever had

I quickly pick it up and look at it screaming at the Id name, Steven.
