CHAPTER 70
OMERA W.

Well, all I have to say is thank god for plan B, I think that solved the little situation we had. I didn't want to end up like Euri with my own little Tree running around, I'm only eighteen after all. I've got things to do, people to ruin, and most importantly I still need to hand in my English homework.

It was also a bit awkward to see Phil when I was reading about the Plan B, he sort of greeted but began stumbling away from me at the same time. It looked a bit comical at the time but now as I think back to it, it was the most embarrassing thing to happen.

After that, I decided to just stay in Dan's room and spend all my time sniffing the scent out of his sheets, as creepy as it sounds.  He didn't seem to mind though, just occasionally make me eat with him outside of his room.

"Can't I just eat in your room?" I plead with him as I carry my bowl of noodles with me.

"Why would you want to do that? We can watch a movie while we eat." He points out as if it is the greatest plan ever. I don't know why Dan is so clueless when it comes to Phil, but so attentive when it's aimed to me, I didn't even know him as long as he has known Phil.

"Yeah, but Phil doesn't seem that comfortable with looking me in the eyes." I try explaining but, of course, he is clueless to everyone that goes on.

"Why not?" He shrugs.

"Maybe because he saw me with Plan B the day after I got here." I whisper as he begins walking to the living room, and this is the exact moment Phil decides to come out of his room.

"Good evening." I greet him with a bit of sarcasm.

"Yes, it is evening, maybe a bit later actually. I mean...good evening to you too." He stutters, I try catching his eye but he looks anywhere but me. Dan isn't anywhere to be seen, he must have walked to the living room already.

"Yeah, thanks. Would you like some noodles?" I question him, holding up the ramen Dan and I made. Phil curiously peers in my bowl and shakes his head.

"I'm good, thanks." He declined my offer as he tries to brush past me to leave, however I block his way.

"Why not watch a movie with us?" I try to fix the obvious tension but he only scratches his head awkwardly.

"No, you both can have your time together. I wouldn't want to be a third wheel." He declines me again.

"I insist." I attempt to catch his eye again but he looks around some more.

"No, thank you." He ends our conversation with a small smile of thanks as he walks past me.

I sigh. "I know it's awkward but it shouldn't be this bad."

"I...uh...I'll see you another time, sorry." He apologized, and with that he walks away. I groan as I walk to the living room where Dan sets up the movie he so eagerly wants to see.

"Oh Omera, what movie do you want to see?" He questions me, but it's obvious anything I say won't matter.

"Oh I don't know, what about 'My Boyfriend's Roommate Won't Look Me In the Eyes And it's so Painfully Awkward', I really relate to it." I sarcastically state as I set my bowl down with a bit of frustration.

"I haven't heard of it, sounds pretty delusional." He responds back with a little smile. 

"Thanks. Anyways, you said that you had something to tell me?" I point out.

"I never said that." He declines with ease as he focuses on the television.

"Well, your face says it loud and clear." I argue as I nudge him slightly to gain his attention.

"I don't think it's best if I do, however, I think I have to tell you." He starts off, he sets down the remote and turns to me. "Maci came to my apartment earlier this week and-"

"How does she know where you live?" I cut him off with a bit of panic. Why would she even come here? I hope it wasn't to tell him everything I told her, that would be the worse place to go, I would just look horrible.

"Actually, I have no idea. She did come here, somehow, and she told me about your whole plan." He briefly explains but I close my eyes to contain the immense anger I feel toward Maci at the moment. Why would she come here and snitch on me like we're in the fifth grade? Snitch on me to our former teacher who I am now dating.

What an odd sentence.

I sigh. "I swear that girl has gotten on my last nerve." I mutter under my breath.

"And that phone call was interesting, it raises many questions." He adds as he turns to me. "Why say such awful things to Tia?"

"She needed to hear that. You don't understand how much she's been-" I try to explain but he doesn't allow it, because he always wants to be a hero in every situation so of course he interrupts.

"She didn't need to hear that. She's not as mean as you draw her out to be. What has she ever done to you?" He questions me with an authoritative voice, and for once I don't care to hear it.

"What has she ever done to me? Well, she started a fight with me at camp and almost exposed us in the process, told the whole school I'm a teacher fucker, and that I had a train busted on me. To top it off, she's become my twin and tried to make me less appealing so she'd feel better about herself, making me lose my mind in the process. You know why she did all this? Because of you." I state as I list all the events on my fingers.

"Because of me?" He seems surprised when I blame him.

"Yes, all because she's in love with you, and that I stole you away from her. You know how much trouble this has caused for me? I had to watch her suck off a banana." I point out with anger, he only looks at me as if I'm completely crazy.

"Why didn't you just ignore her?"

"Are you stupid? I did that and now everyone thinks I've been screwed by a bunch of guys in a line. How did your bullshit pacifism method go for me? Pretty awful." I point out with an eye roll, he considers this for a moment and sighs.

"Just drop your idea for revenge, I don't think that'll end well." He says in a defeated tone.

"No thanks, have you ever gotten revenge before? This may sound awful but it feels great, I feel so satisfied by it. Almost as good as sleeping with you and realizing you have Alzheimer's and you forgot to use protection. So much for being a health teacher, right?" I immediately scrap his idea, and accidentally insult him in the process.

"You know what? Sometimes I wonder why I stopped spanking you." He states with a hint of anger, and I only shrug.

"Got your feeling hurt? It happens sometimes." I poke my tongue out at him but he only narrows his eyes.

"If you go through with that idea, then expect a punishment. That's an order and a promise." He nods as he grabs his bowl of noodles and begins to eat.

"You can't stop me, Sir." I bow my head sarcastically as I grab my own bowl of noodles.

"Yes, I can't force you but I'm telling you the consequences. I'll be there when you're done, trust me." He nods with a determined look.

"Are you sure none of your other ex-girlfriends will come out of the blue and need you at the hospital for the delivery of your second child?" I question him sarcastically, he only slaps be back of my head playfully.

"You make me sound like a horrible person." He sighs in defeat as he watches me eat.

"You get used to it." I shrug as I stare ahead of me, however I see his gaze on me from the corner of my eye.

"You're not horrible, not at all." He assures me as he runs his fingers through my hair, but somehow it doesn't make me feel better at all.

"It's just the things I do that are horrible?" I brush his hand away from my hair.

"No, it's not horrible. It's...just harsh." His attempt at making me feel better is sweet but so incredibly poor.

"Lying to me is a strike, sweetheart." I imitate his voice, this causes him to chuckle and completely forget the subject at hand.

I don't know if I'm happy about that.
