"Hoover, have you seen my sunglasses?"
Hoover shook her head. "Didn't you use it yesterday?"
"Yeah but I don't remember where I put it if it isn't in the bag."
"Why are you looking for it? Your photos haven't been uploaded yet?"
"My dad said my pose is still not good. He told me to repeat to impress the agency. I have to retake my photo."
"It's very complicated. What kind of pose does he want?" Hoover grumbled.
"Just do it if want to pass the first stage."
"Yeah, that's right. But--"
"Shut up. You'd better help find it."
Hoover pursed her lips. She lay down and pull the blanket around her feet and cover herself.
Britney approached, "Hey hey come on!" She rocked the Hoover.
"Find it by yourself."
"Help a moment!"
"No! Don't disturb my morning."
"So help me if you don't want to be disturbed."
"If I help you it will bother me."
"You are!" Britney hit Hoover in annoyance. Finally she went back to looking for her own glasses.
"Spirit up, friend!" said Hoover still in the blanket.
"Shut up if it doesn't help."
"I'm helping you cheer up."
"Shut up if you don't wake up."
"..."
Britney glanced, then chuckled. "Up to you."
Remembering something, Hoover put away her blanket suddenly. "Hey! Wasn't the four of us posing with your glasses yesterday?"
"Ah yes you are right! That was the last time I saw that."
"Just check this room! There must be."
"Yeah I know that, but where?"
"Don't check my shelves, it's a waste of time." Hoover returned to the blanket.
Hoover don't care what Britney do anymore. She is busy sleeping. It was still too early for her to wake up aimlessly.
Meanwhile, Britney rummaged through the room looking for sunglasses that aren't her usual glasses. The glasses had their own design which she chose for a photoshoot in a modeling competition.
Despite being banned by Hoover, Britney still checked Hoover's mini shelf. What Hoover said is right, it was a waste of time because none of her glasses were on the shelf.
The noise made by Britney irritated Hoover. She couldn't sleep well.
"Hey, buy a new one!" Hoover shouted.
"No time."
"Huh? Isn't the time limit still long?"
"Don't ask too many questions if you don't want to help."
Hoover sighed. "Up to you."
"Arghhhh--" Britney scratched her head in frustration. "Where is it?" She turned to Alice's mini shelf.
"Could it be on that shelf? It's neatly arranged so you can see it if your glasses are there."
Britney stopped the action. "Hey, here!"
"Huh? Why?"
"Hurry up here!"
"What is it?"
"Don't ask too many questions if you want to know!" said Britney irritably. "Why is it so hard to walk from there to here?!"
Inevitably Hoover got up and walked over to Britney in front of Alice's mini shelf. "Is it here? If yes, take it-- HAH OH MY GOD!"
"SSTTTT!"
Hoover closes her lips. She advanced a few centimeters to observe what Britney was showing.
"I'm getting curious." said Britney.
"Huh this reminds me. There's more medicine in here than she brought in class." Hoover brought her lips to Britney's ear. "What do you think? What should we do? This is scary to me."
"Scary what? It's not scary at all."
"I mean like this, she kept a lot of drugs which she probably took too. Then we share the same room with her, if she is weird or turns out to be weird or whatever, who will be affected?"
"Don't talk too much if you want to know." scorned Britney. "Read the benefits!" Britney just picks up some kind medicine on Alice's shelf. Shared it with Hoover to explore the benefits.
"Wow there are some that are unknown what the benefits are. But look!" Hoover took a dark red medicinal pill. "I know this is for internal medicine."
Britney snatched the pill. "Are you sure? How do you know?"
"I've heard of it in a drama."
"Are you sure it's the same pill?"
"Well, I just saw a drug that looks and looks the same color as the one I saw in the drama."
"Then it's unbelievable."
"Why is that?!" asked Hoover disapprovingly.
"Your reasons are unbelievable." Britney replied casually then put the pill back down.
"But I'm sure!"
"And I'm not sure." Britney replied again. She stand up, finished observe Alice's shelf.
She had to find her sunglasses before noon because she fell it is the best day for photo submissions. She turned to Jessy's shelf.
"Hey want to cooperate?"
"What?"
"To interrogate Alice. As roommates we have to know what disease she has, right?"
"Not interested." Britney replied nonchalantly. "You can do it with Jessy."
"Hello! Are you sure she wants to?'
"And you're sure I want to? Not sure right? So do it alone!"
Hoover sighed. Right now dhe can't argue with Britney.
"Okay, I'll just shut up." She said resignedly.
"Hey don't be silent! Help me!" cried Britney who was getting hot.
Hoover glanced at Alice's shelf. "Is there a cure for patience there?" She said slowly.
"What? What do you mean?!" cried Britney.
"Uh, does that sound?" Hoover asked frantically. She immediately helped Britney find glasses. "I'll help you."
Britney rummaged through Jessy's shelves and Hoover checked the tables.
Hoover stared at the object he was holding. He took it to Britney. "LOOK AT THIS! YOUR GLASSES UNDER YOUR PILLOW!"
"HAHH?!" Britney snatched the glasses. Check whether there is a broken or not.
"Next time, focus more, my friend." Hoover said after calming herself down. She returned to the bed lazily.
"Yash! I found it!" She turned to Hoover, grinning. "Hehe, thanks a lot."
Hoover didn't respond. She was too annoyed with Britney disturbing her sleep.
"I'll take a shower first."
"Hey for a second!"
"What?"
"Since I've helped, you should help me too!"
"Don't want to!" refused Britney while reaching for the towel.
"Come on--"
"Interrogating Alice right?" cut Britney.
"Uh? Hehe, you know that."
Britney rolled her eyes. "What else is on your mind if not that?"
"Hehe, since you already know, so say 'yes'!"
"I won't." Britney walked to the bathroom.
"Britney!!!"
"No is no. Are you understand?"
Hoover kept whining. "It's interesting to be interrogated. After we know what the reason behind all the medicine, isn't it fun?"
"No."
"Argh you're annoying!" annoyed Hoover.
"Indeed. Didn't I get that nickname in the dorms?" Britney replied before disappearing into the bathroom.
Hoover finally fell silent. She returned to the front of Alice's shelf. She rummaged through the medicine and reached for the cell phone. Open the camera and take a short video showing it was Alice's shelf.
Alice hid her medicine well behind the books and other items on her shelf. If only Britney hadn't rummaged through the entire shelf, her meds wouldn't have been in sight.
After the photos and videos were finished, Hoover stood looking at the results on her phone.
"Ugh what can I do?"
