“Damn, she’s cute...”

“Dude!”

Beca reflexively pulls her phone to her chest, burying the screen against the soft fabric of her oversized gray sweater.

“What?” Stacie questions with a breathy chuckle, straightening to nonchalantly shrug an uncovered shoulder. “If you wanna social media stalk hot girls, you go right ahead. I’m not judging.”

“I’m not social media stalking anyone,” Beca scoffs, her cheeks splashing a soft crimson color despite the way she has realistically done nothing wrong, nothing to be embarrassed about.

“Then who’s the hot ginger?”

“I don’t know,” Beca says with a clear of her throat, pulling her phone from the protection of her chest with the previously unlocked screen now muted to black. “She just posted a picture in one of the Facebook groups I’m in. I wasn’t, like, looking at it, it just came up on my feed.” Why she feels the need to justify it, she really doesn’t know.

Or...okay, so maybe she was checking out the nameless redhead, but it wasn’t like she’d specifically sought her out. The picture really had just shown up at random on her feed.

“You were looking pretty intently,” Stacie counters, shuffling around the two-seater couch to drop down comfortably beside Beca. Her eyes immediately shift toward the dimmed phone screen, manicured nail tapping against the glass. “Show me.”

“What? No,” Beca frowns, though finds herself instinctively unlocking her phone regardless. “She was just posting about some new mug she got or something. I don’t know, it’s from this coffee group.”

“Then you have something in common,” Stacie hums, eyeing the selfie to pop up in the center of the screen. As she speaks, she reaches out to pluck the phone from Beca’s loose grasp, studying the picture more closely.

“How do we have anything in common?” Beca asks with a quirked brow, arms folding almost petulantly across her middle while her gaze shifts naturally toward the screen. Seriously, whoever this redhead is, she really is ridiculously hot—Beca won’t say so aloud now, though.

“You’re both losers who joined a coffee group,” Stacie shrugs, swiping the screen to reveal the poster’s name. “Chloe Beale. Cute.” Before Beca can stop her, Stacie has begun to tap something into the comment section of the photo post, and Beca’s brow lifts in questioning for half a second, before a distinct level of panic begins to set in.

“What are you doing?” Beca questions, reaching down to grab the phone back, though Stacie—with her unfairly long arms—holds it effortlessly out of reach, her other hand pressing to Beca’s chest to push her further from the device despite Beca’s flailing hands and adamant protests. “Give it back!”

“Fine,” Stacie shrugs, twisting to press the phone into Beca’s hand. Not before hitting post on whatever she may have been typing, though, and Beca scrambles to quickly read.

nice mug 😉 also, you’re really good looking... did i just say that?

“Dude!” Beca yelps, eyes widening as she rereads the comment posted from her account. “Why would you—” As she frantically taps for the option to delete, a red notification pops up along the bottom bar of her screen. Beca’s jaw drops as she glances toward the comment, where a fresh ‘heart’ reaction displays in the bottom corner.

“You’re welcome,” Stacie says with an undeniable level of smugness lacing her cool tone. “You really might as well just slide into her DM now.”

Cheeks ablaze with a deeper shade of red, Beca hastily begins to tap out a new comment, trying to let this Chloe person know that her friend fucking sucks and stole her phone, though another notification pops up then, this one in the top corner of her screen.

I bought more things, which i will just do a collective post once that stuff arrives. But i bought this mug from my friend Angela's shop, get this, ordered at like, 9 pm on the 29th, said it was made and dispatched at 10:50 am on the 30th, arrived today at 1 pm on the 31st! Apparently these products are made and delivered by Sonic himself XD

I will mention this again in future when i get the others, but all the designs can come on a variety of products, personally i just loved the look of this one on a mug. It's SOOOO pretty and looks just like the photos on the site! And in the sun it really looks iridescent. The print is nicely done on it and vibrant, and it feels like a decent mug! I don't wanna spoil too much, but i am super excited about a bag that i am expecting

Again, if you wanna take a look yourself, and even if you can't buy anything now, but just fancy following her or favouriting items for maybe a later date, check her shop at: https://www.redbubble.com/people/9Amaryllis6/shop

Just to clarify, she hasn't asked me to purchase things or post, and yes she is my friend but i will always give my honest opinion, you can't strive without constructive feedback after all. But yes, i genuinely do love this!
