Song: Good girls go bad - Cobra Starship ft Leighton Meester
***

The result of it was, in the space of a number of minutes I'd already racked up a million followers. A MILLION FOLLOWERS! INSANITY!f

That was also my reaction, Insanity. I was loosing it. It was all too much, the tweet, the followers, the trending topics, the replies even from celebrities...I was officially going mad! Hence I decide to do the only reasonable thing I could think of amidst the madness, turn it off. Turn it all off and do homework. Wide eyed Kristina watches as I throw my phone on my bed, pick up my laptop and calculus textbook and get to working on calc.

Don't overthink it, he was asked about his favorite author and that was what his reply meant. Don't over think it, don't over think it. Don't overthink it.

My phone pings for the nth time and I choose to equally ignore it ...till Kristina screams picking up my phone. "Shang Ye just DM'd ou on twitter!" She screams.

Dm'd me? On Twitter? I quickly get up and take the phone from her hands opening the notification.

"I forgot to ask the other day but what type of noodles were you having?" -Shang Ye

What type of noodles I was having? That's the question? So random...Shang Ye you just caused a whole fire on twitter but while the world is on fire all you care about is noodles?

But what else should he care about if not noodles? The question was if he could only read one person's book in the world whose it would be not if he could only like one person in the world... Of course, his answer was that in reference to the book and whose he'd like to read not that he liked me...

Shaking my head and having convinced myself that this was the case. It made sense that what was on his mind was noodles.

"Maruchan chicken," I quickly reply.

"Mm actually I only realized it after but a co-worker gave me some noodles yesterday that was especially nice hence I thought of you,"

Thought of me?! Oh yes because of the noodles, calm down Hannah calm down we've already cleared this. With the tweet he meant the book and now he thought of me because of noodles and nothing more. Don't go getting your hopes up. Letting out a deep breath under Kristina's suspicious eyes that I ignore, I type back.

Oh what noodles?

Indomie noodles, it's from Nigeria but apparently originated from Indonesia. You should definitely give it a try, of all the noodles I've tried it's definitely the best - he replies.

Indomie noodles, making a mental note to google it I type back.

Sounds so good...Will definitely look it up and try it, thank you!- I reply

" You're welcome, definitely make sure you don't just cook it as is, though it tastes good without anything but as a rule always add veggies and meat or egg to your noodles for a balanced nutrient,"-Shang Ye

My stomach grumbles, all this noodle talk was suddenly making me crave noodles. My phone pings. It was another message from him.

Though it's not sold in general stores but you can get it in Asian markets or on amazon. Here is a link...He replied with a link

I immediately click on it.

"Thank you!😊👊🙏" I reply and get up to search for a bag of tasteless maruchan.

Two weeks after the tweet situation and no further clarification from Shang Ye, I rush into the room after my calculus class with gossip for Kristina.

"You won't believe what I just heard!" I exclaim bursting the room door ajar to the sight of a horrified Kristina.

"What?" I ask confused by her expression.

"What, what? Shouldn't you be the one telling us what - what is considering you were the one who said we wouldn't believe what you just heard?" The voice of Drinkingwine seeps through the phone. I gasp to which Kristina mouths sorry.

"So? We're waiting for the juicy details!" He exclaims making me want to just bang my head against a wall. How did I forget that Kristina had a meeting with the team today? That means they all heard what I just said. And if they all heard what I just said that means... if Shang Ye is there, he also heard me?! My eyes widen in horror.

Would he think of me as a gossip? Gosh I wanted the world to come to an end now. Dear Lord you can rapture me now. I cry internally as I look to the ceiling.

"Well? We're all waiting," Drinkingwine continues refusing to let it go. Like Shang Ye had said and I'd come to realize, once drinkingwine stuck to something he kept digging till he got what we wanted. He was a dog that would bite and refuse to let go.

"I...it's nothing," I say walking over to Kristina's bed.

"Impossible you sounded too excited for it to be nothing, right?"

Right - Sellingfish declares.

"No really it's nothing," I declare vehemently.

See I hate it when people say they have something to tell you then tell you to forget it. - Sellingfish says.

Hold on, I never said I had something to tell you! That was for Kristina!

"Actually there's someone that did that to me this morning," Drinkingwine says.

"This morning? Shang Ye?" Summerheat asks her interest piqued.

My ears also perk up.

"He always does that though," Sellingfish says.

"I know, very annoying! We were having an argument on a case and he suddenly goes, that reminds me, did you hear?" Drinkingwine says continuing, "And so of course I got very inquisitive, stopped arguing and asked. Hear what? Do you know what he said?"

What did he say? - Summerheat

Who can guess the great mind of Shang Ye just tell us -Phoenixfeathers

Right just tell us -Dancinglove

I hate suspense what did he say? - Sellingfish

"LittleHannah what do you think he said?" Drinkingwine suddenly asks causing me to be taken aback. Me? My brows arch. Why are you asking me?

Kristina smacks my thighs as if to say, you will not leave my boo hanging! Eyeing her, I reply,

"Nothing?"

What ensues is silence.... followed by "Wow!"

Oh, my goodness a match made in heaven- Drinkingwine

She got it right? - Summerheat.

100%- Drinkingwine

Wow you guys really fit each other -Sellingfish

Goodness how'd you know? - Phoenixfeathers

"Wait, did I say something weird?" I ask confused looking at Kristina who nods vigorously.

"Weird very weird, how could you have accurately deduced what he said to a t?" Drinkingwine asks.

Cos they're soul mates- Dancinglove

Truly a match made in heaven - Summerheat

"What's weird about my answer though?" I ask confused.

"Everything!" They all echo together.

My brows crease.

"But it really isn't though? We were discussing how you hate folks who start a story and don't finish. You proceeded to tell us the story of how one time you both were arguing when he suddenly interrupted with the question that got you to stop arguing. Obviously since his goal was achieved in getting you to stop arguing, shouldn't the answer to what happened be nothing? Especially considering he originally had nothing to say and simply wanted to get you to stop talking?"

I hear a light chuckle followed by

Wow wow wow - Sellingfish

I think I'm going to cry. We were already suffering from Shang Ye's knife like tongue and now he goes and finds himself a wife with an equally sharp tongue that thinks exactly like him. Our days ahead are doomed, Our days head are truly doomed - Summerheat laments.

"The worst part is the bastard is actually chuckling and enjoying this," Drinkingwine says.

The bas...Shang Ye? He's there? Drinkingwine's words come to mind. He chuckled? So he finds my words and actions appropriate? I break into a smile.

"Not just him, she's also smiling over here," The forever traitorous Kristina says.

Truly a match made in heaven - Drinkingwine

Indeed, indeed- Dancinglove

Makes me scared for our future fates - Sellingfish fake sobs.

True true, imagine both of them together, so scary so scary - Drinkingiwne replies.

"Hold on guys if you keep talking like this don't you think Lily will be sad if word gets to her? After all, we've all reaped benefits from Lily's relationship with Shang Ye," Summerheat suddenly says.

Lily?

"Who's lily?" Phoenixfeathers asks as if reading my thoughts.

"Ah that's right, phoenixfeathers is new in the group so you don't know lily. Lily is someone who especially likes Shang Ye. In fact, I think in this world no one likes Shang Ye more than Lily," Summerheat offers.

I exchange looks with Kristina. Shang Ye has a girlfriend? Kristina shrugs as if to say I don't know.

Remember that one-time Shang Ye fell sick? - Dancinglove

"The time Lily was in Germany but took the next flight back just because he had fallen sick? I remember! Wow, that was the time I really knew the depth of her love for him," Drinkingwine says.

Mm and that time he said he wanted some food from that one country... - Sellingfish

Nigeria? - Summerheat offers.

"Yes! That's it, Nigeria and though the only Nigerian restaurant close is in a city an hour away, she drove the full hour to and fro just to get him the meal - Sellingfish narrates with extreme dramatization to her voice.

"Truly no one's love, or beauty can compare to Lily's - Drinkingwine says as if savoring good red wine.

That's right, she's quite beautiful, and tall. Just the right height to stand next to Shang Ye. Speaking of heights LittleHannah how tall are you? - Dancinglove asks.

Hold on, why are you suddenly asking me? It's not like I want to stand next to him in that manner!

"She's 5'2," Traitor Kristina offers.

5'2? Not quite Shang Ye's ideal height. - Drinkingwine

That's right but it's okay what matters is the heart. - Dancinglove

True, LittleHannah don't worry, the cutest couples are those who have a difference in height. -Sellingfish

That's right and we know Shang Ye loves her words the most - Drinkignwine says.

"True, true!"

This folks...why were they suddenly making it seem like I was vying for Shang Ye's love and involved in a love triangle?
