"Pick a doll and here's the basic setting," I began to go through everything.
Although I was silently crying inside my heart, it was only for ten minutes. Much better than the usual hour I did during the weekdays. Charles awkwardly picked a doll while Jules was stunned from my level of preparation. Since Luke was used to this, he started to move the doll, going through the script. Both Charles and Jules stared at the three of us talking in higher pitched voices. I could tell their impression of me was dropping.
"What do you think of this house Tally?" I gestured to Jules' doll.
"We need to think of a better price range," Jules racked his brains to respond.
"Maybe we should ask about the materials making up the house," Luke's doll suggested.
"We can negotiate with the contractor," Alex's doll added.
By the time we were finished, both Charles and Jules pitied Luke and Alex. I gestured to them to give me the paper dolls back so I could secretly burn them later. Maybe they forgot I was pretending to like playing with dolls so I could make them suffer to carry out my revenge. They looked at me in a new light during dinner, acting like I was a small child. I was disappointed in them since I had tried very hard in distracting Luke and Alex for them. Until I invited them to my bedroom to have a celebration in being able to get rid of the documents.
"How could you actually make Alex play with dolls?" Charles laughed inside my room.
"You saw how miserable they were. How else would I get my revenge?" I explained.
"Everything was fake?" Jules had a hard time believing me.
"Did you think I would actually like dolls?" I burned the paper dolls and houses in front of them.
"Your acting skills have improved," Jules nodded his head.
"What else did you make them do?" Charles was curious.
"Nothing much. You know the usual teatime with Kristie, hide-and-seek, lava floors, and hand games," I recalled.
"I changed them up every now and then. But did you know how much I had to threaten them to put more effort into them? It was thanks to me that they never thought of visiting the office," I started to get angry.
"We get it," Jules began to believe me.
"She begged Alex really hard to earn the hour," Charles recalled.
"He was easy to convince," I shrugged.
"He only agreed since it was you. He wouldn't do it for anyone else," Charles' face became more serious.
"Why not?" I wondered if their begging skills lacked.
"He would leave them alone even if he injured them. He would try to compensate the injuries with money while humiliating them in the process," Charles explained.
"Even with the compliments?" I had a hard time believing.
"Compliments are nothing to us. We hear them all the time, but it's surprising to hear them from you," he knew how they thought.
"Most of them were lies," I wondered if he knew.
"It started from the half an hour point," Charles guessed.
"It was from the start," I couldn't find anything good about Alex other than his appearance.
"You hate him that much?" Charles was a bit surprised.
"Is there a reason to like him other than his appearance?" I pointed out.
"And you're better looking than him," I turned to Jules.
"He is a bit hard to like," Jules agreed.
"By the way, I had to cover for you guys. I told Luke and Alex that you were busy catching bugs in their office when you barged in to interrupt us. They think our club is actually a bug catching one," I let them know.
"You mean the thing you do with Ethan?" Charles recalled.
"I didn't have a choice. They wouldn't question bugs since they hate them," I sighed.
Both Charles and Jules quickly teleported out of my room once they heard Luke's footsteps. It wasn't a bad celebration since Jules had sneaked in some snacks. I was impressed by the packages of jelly he brought from my storage room. He knew my preferences from our short time together during our childhood. I quickly hid the packages under my pillow before Luke came into my room.
"What do you want?" I was about to sleep.
"We're going over the new set of rules once we return to school," Luke wasn't letting me go.
"Sure. No following me around anymore," I agreed.
"Alex is going to permanently move in with us. The school already agreed and provided a new space for the three of us," Luke revealed.
"What?" I rose from my bed.
"No way. My stalker is gone now. I'm not living with him. If you want to live with him then I can live with Shelly," I had to stop this from happening.
"Michelle agreed with the new arrangements," Luke went into the details.
I knew that Shelly wouldn't let go of this chance to be free from Alex. I would suffer in her place where Alex was picky where everything was placed. I wondered how much money they poured into the school to make them agree to this. My face was in despair as I stepped out of the hover car to return to school.. When Luke opened the door to the new dorm room, I found three doors behind the living room.
