Tommy had to respawn a skin because he got distracted by a bitch like that? He’d thought she was cute for a sec, like that puppy in the elevator, but…no.
“I…I…like I need to borrow your tablet.”
Enough of this vanilla Minecraft shit; he was going back to mods.
“Like… Please?”
He was too busy installing a mod. That’s why the door opening behind him didn’t register until it was too late.
“Tommy!”
That fucking nurse. Tommy spun around.
“How long have you been playing with that tablet instead of doing your work?”
Real Life. The same RL where his mother had laughed as she drowned his puppy. Tommy’s gut tightened. He could feel the sneer deepen on his face, even though he figured he was about to lose his job.
But then the pregs spoke up! “Like, it’s not his fault! He was just turning his tablet off after I, like, kept him from cleaning up after The Gray…after the woman who was my roommate…because I kept asking him for…like, all kinds of effin’ stuff.”
The nurse looked suspicious. She made a point of looking around the empty room. “Like, what kinds of effin’ stuff?”
Pregs had it down. “Like, none of your business.”
The nurse opened her mouth, then shut it.
Tommy mentally crossed his fingers.
The nurse nailed him with her ruthless RL eyes and slammed her hands around her scrawny little hips. “Well…’like’…you just better have all your work done by the end of your shift or else.” She spun, left, and tried to slam a door that wouldn’t really slam.
Tommy almost laughed. “Hey, Pregs, why’d ya’ do it?”
“Don’t call me that!”
“Okay!” He guessed he owed her that much. “But why?”
“I…I…like really need to borrow your tablet.”
“For what?” He was beginning to think she looked kinda’ cute again.
“Snapchat.”
Hell, he would fuck with Pregs on Snapchat.
