REAL LIFE

drew's phone buzzed in his hand. he groaned, squinting at the screen as he saw odessa's name lighting up. with a quick swipe, he answered the facetime call, slumping back against the couch and running a hand through his messy hair with a smile on his face.

"odessa, this is crazy," he laughed, earning a similar sound from the girl on the phone. "i swear i'm gonna delete twitter. the notifications are making me go mad."

odessa's signature mischievous grin appeared on the screen, laughing, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "oh drew. there's no way you have twitter notifications on."

"not anymore," drew muttered, tapping aggressively on the screen. then he placed his phone down on the coffee table in front of his legs and leaned back, odessa still with the same smile on her face as she watched him sigh and drop his head back.

odessa leaned in closer to the camera, shaking her head. "man, they're just being mean now. they've lost their minds."

drew groaned and rubbed his forehead. "can you search up who rhea is? i don't have my phone on me right now." odessa chuckled as she plopped herself down on her elbows on her bed.

"are you serious right now? you don't know who rhea is?"

"am i supposed to?" drew frowned, clearly confused.

"bro, we literally binged stranger things last month. you know? the baddie asian, what's her name? she might have a crush on steve she might have a crush on robin, you know who i'm talking about!" odessa replied with a teasing tone, though there was a tinge of frustration in her voice.

drew stared blankly at odessa on the screen, she was clearly not paying attention to him as she scrolled on her phone. "ohhh, her!" he sat up straighter, his tone shifting slightly. "she wants robin by the way."

odessa let out a laugh. "duh, steve has to stay single."

drew nodded, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "right? too iconic." he leaned back on the couch again, clearly still trying to process everything that was going on.

odessa glanced at him, a glint of mischief in her eyes. "so, what you gonna do about this then?"

drew let out a long, exaggerated sigh. "nothing. the internet is weird. i'm gonna sleep, and then see you at the premiere tomorrow." he grabbed a cushion from his side and hugged it at his waist, closing his eyes to hint at his sleepiness.

odessa rolled her eyes and stuck up her middle finger, though drew had his eyes closed and he didn't notice the gesture. "fine, loser, i'll see you tomorrow."

she paused for a second, watching drew's face soften as he started to drift off. odessa couldn't help but chuckle, knowing she wasn't getting any more conversation out of him. "alright, i'm ending this now before you start snoring."

with a quick tap, she ended the facetime call, leaving drew in the stillness of his living room.
