A dramatic take on life :3

Here's a story I wrote back in like mach 2023 <3

Deviltown 

Seriously, this isn't a love story. Believe me

 

One

Hey I just wanna

“Noooo!” I say, as my Oliver, my best friend tells me he needs to leave the call.

Oliver is my online best friend. He’s 15 years old, speaks Russian, Portuguese and English. He’s Russian and lives in the US, while I live in Switzerland so it’s a little hard for us to communicate, since we have a 7-hour time-zone difference. He’s one of the nicest people I have ever met in my whole life. It’s okay though because we always find times to play and chat and gossip about people we don’t even know on call.

Sometimes we go on Tiktok and just start sending each other thousands of videos and whenever its someone we don’t like (not our type) we just say, “that’s you” or, “that’s how you’re gonna look like when we meet.” It’s really fun.

I almost forgot, we also have a groupchat with other two people, Sage and Milo. Our group is called ‘AllBitches’ mainly because we are all editors with over 500+ followers. I’m planning to add my other friend, Andrea, since they are an amazing editor (and has over 2.5k followers) and me and Oliver both know them. We also have Maya, but she doesn’t have Discord, unless she downloads it. For us, we only really add people we know, not because of followers though, because of talent, and friendship.

That sounded really cheesy. What the fuck.

My name is Amila Alice Goblo.  I know my last name sounds strange and not British or Swiss, but whatever. I’m 15 years old and I’m going to turn 16 on April 9^th. I hate most people, and I don’t have friends at school since I don’t really care and just have no idea how to make friends in real life. I don’t think it’s okay for my mental health but atleast I’m still alive. Barely though. All of my friends are online, all across the world. I like to stay in my room, looking at the 283 posters I’ve hung up on the walls, editing, just staring at my computer and I hate it when I have to talk to other people. Even my family members.

Two hours have passed since me and Oliver ended the call, and I’ve been lying on my bed just reading but I don’t think my brain was activated because I don’t think I understood the words.

Oh, I just got a message on my phone. From Oliver private chat.

Sometimes we chat in the Discord server that I made, just because. But I think that Andrea would like to join the ‘AllBitches’. Or maybe she doesn’t even know that it existed. Oh well.

I open the message and my heart stops for atleast 5 minutes. In those 5 minutes, I only think of ‘I’m gonna die if I don’t breathe right now’ and the other thing I’m doing is just staring at my screen. ‘WAIT RLY?’ I reply, realizing that Oliver saw that I’ve seen the message, and thought that I was being rude not replying, or that I wasn’t excited.

Oliver texted me that he is going to come to Switzerland for 2 weeks because of the Christmas holidays. OMG! I AM SOOO EXCITED!!! HOWW????

"OMFG" I wrote to him, excited for his arrival.

I start to think about everything we'll do together; go shopping, visit the museum, and, well, just hang out and have fun. We'll finally be in person, rather than online. And we'll be finally able to hug each other and not just talk to each other through our phones.

Our meeting could be sooner than usual because we both knew each other better now. I was really excited.

He replies after a minute, "IM SOO EXCITED TOO :3" he says.

"CANT WAIT :D"

 "SAME GIRL" he replied. I felt really relaxed and as if a weight has just been lifted off my shoulder. after our short discussion, I just rolled down from my bed and onto the floor, without even noticing.

I then got lost in my thoughts about what we're going to do together.

I think about Oliver's visit to Switzerland. It was very fun to think about, even if it’s only for a few weeks. As I imagined Oliver and I just walking around the city together, with my head resting on his shoulder, then him looking down my way and giving me a smile (in a friend's way, cuz I don't like Oliver romantically and he's gay). I was lost in such thoughts for some time. And as I was thinking, I started to lose sense of time, not realizing that I've been laying on the ground for about 10 minutes now.

All of a sudden, I hear two loud knocking sounds on my bedroom door. I feel like I'm getting jolted out of my thoughts. I stand back up and quickly get back to my bed. "Who's there!?" I shout at the door. "Lisa, it's me, Jess!!" a high-pitched voice replied. I quickly open the door and see Jessica, my younger sister who probably heard me shouting at my door.

"The fuck do you want?" I say. You might be wondering why I'm not scared that she's gonna tell on me? It's because my parents don't really care about how we talk to eachother. Not really good parents then, I guess.

"Why are you shouting, Amila? You're so fucking immature!" she answers in a sarcastic tone. That's just the way our family talks to each other. We usually yell or curse at each other over small things, but since our parents don't care about that, why should we? Jess is just very talkative, and that's not the main reason I hate talking to her.

"Okay fine, but make it quick or I will drag you out of here" I tell her, obviously sounding irriated.

In her mocking tone, she asks, "How's your boyfriend?" I know she did it intentionally because she knows that I don't have a boyfriend. But instead of becoming overly mad at her, I just sigh and roll my eyes. "I don't have a boyfriend" I say, with a bit of tiredness in my voice. "Don't be ridiculous. We all know you two are dating!" she replies.

"Who? Oliver? what I'm about to say for the 5th time will really shock you since you haven't paid attention to the other times I've said this"

"Yeah, him." she replies, sounding very smug and condescending. I roll my eyes and sigh once more. "I'm going to say it again, in case you're not paying attention" I say, mimicking her smug tone.

"He's gay, and has a boyfriend. Fucking hell, Jess I told you 6 times now"

She laughs and says, "Oh come on, he probably likes girls as well." She keeps looking at me in a mocking way. I can feel my anger building up inside, as I know she's just trying to piss me off.

"He's GAY" I yell, annoyed. "Not bisexual or pansexual. He's gay. He only likes boys. Why can't you understand this? Bitch fuck off now or I'll rip your head off"

I have to stop myself from cursing at her.

She just giggles and says, "Oh I bet he would totally go for a hot chick with huge boobs like me." She says with even more laughter. She keeps looking at me as if she's waiting for me to explode or something.

"Or, if you shut up and listen to me, you would know he would like someone who’s a boy, not boobs or some girly shit"

She starts laughing louder this time. She thinks this is funny, but it's actually making me madder and upset. "I have to admit, you're right" she replies.

"about what?" My voice suddenly sounds really calm, I don't know why.

"That Oliver would be attracted to someone who's a boy" she replies, giggling.

"So you get it now, huh? He's gay. So he won't go out with someone like you, even if you're as hot, which let's be honest, you're probably wayyyy uglier than me as you say you are" I finish speaking. She's still giggling.

She finally gives up and leaves the room. Finally.

Finally, she walks out of my room and goes to her own. I sigh in relief and sit down on my bed. All of a sudden, I get a notification from Discord chat. I open it, and see that Sage- My other best friend, has messaged me.

I quickly reply, "Hey, what's upppp :D?"

"U busyy??? Nun in da group is on and yh :>" she replies. She uses way too many abbreviations and short forms as I do. Her name is Chantelle, so Sage is her nickname.

"Nah, I’m not atm. So....? Yh I'm bored as fuck"

"Can we call?"

"Sure." I reply quickly.

I'm really excited to call Sage, since I love talking to her. She is also a good editor as me, Oliver, Maya, Milo and Andrea. Her editing skills are awesome, and so is her sense of humour! We've been friends for the same amount of time as I am friends with Maya and Oliver about a year ago (Andrea came a few months later, about June or July) So why not call her?? We can talk and gossip about anything since we only know eachother online like everyone else in the group, so the "don't tell anyone" rule doesn't apply to us.

-Andd that's the end of chapter 1 <3. I hope this will do well lmfao
