Just another rainy day

—What are you doing now?

— nothing. I am supposed to be wrapping up the final preps for the lesson plan today. Teacher's job does not take place solely in the classroom you know...

— Right! I heard it's a 24/7 job!

— Well not exactly to that extent...but  alot of the work follows you befor and after every session.

— True, still wish I was a teacher though...I'm sure it's better than sitting in a desk for hours waiting for clients to check in. I can't even excuse myself when we have no visitors...

— Well he isn't here...can't you like sneak the last hour out? 

— can't you see the camera on top of you?

— Uh-oh! Sorry if I speak any longer imma get you in trouble it seems...

— haha! That's okay I don't think he monitors my speech as well...

— how do you know? There could be some micro-sound transmitter as in no joke!

— Well I can't confirm for sure...but I have said all sorts of nasty stuff about him, never sensed any reaction from him...

— What if he's just playing along?

— naah...

— how'd you know?

— He's an easily triggered guy...I simply know. plus to be frank, he'd be too stingy to equip the place with some advanced technology like that!

— Oh you never know...this stuff is getting wildly cheap. Even a kid in our neighborhood has a camera pen! 

— Well he's old fashioned as you can see from the furniture. He only renovated it once since 1992. Scratch that! He still sits on the same chair he had from medical school.

— Wow! Cheers to stinginess! So how'd you know about all this stuff? 1992? You weren't even born yet!

— ermmm...I've seen some pics.

— He keeps them here? What about the camera?

 *silence*

 — Weren't you worried he'd tell you off about getting into his personal stuff!

— No! I never get into anybody's personal stuff...leave it now. Anything new in your life?

— You know all the new stuff already! But if you actually let me get into your WIFI I'd have shut up long time ago...

— Oh don't you have the passcode ?

— Nope! You never gave it to me

— You never asked!

— but you never offered! The other day the coffee shop waiter asked whether I need the passcode. I've been coming here for months now and not once did you pop up that question!

— Oh how would I know? Plus I don't know if doc would allow it.

— Oh c'mon why wouldn't he? Plus you could've asked him! I mean, he lets ME roam around in his clinic, what'd be the big deal about connecting to his WIFI for few minutes? 

— Give me your phone.

— Why? 

— Just give me your phone...

— Oh no! You are not going to give me access now after all this time...I don't need no breadcrumbing, lady! 

— God please! 

— Yeah right! That's how frustrating it is to feel that your supposedly best friend is concerned how everybody and everything else is before you! Now that I think about it...it's always been like this. Remember the Musuem trip when I told you I need someone to take me because I get lost and you said no?

— I didn't say no! I said I'd take you after I pick up my parents from the airport!

— Same thing! You always pick up your parents from the airport. You could've let your brother do it that time so we can have some alone time together!

—*Ugh!* 

— Sometimes I just think, well I should just appreciate the fact that you put your family and job first, that's how everybody should be anyways...but no I see all the stories with your other friends and you always seem to have time for them! Only when it's me who asks, granted we haven't done anything together for ages and you still come up with excuses! If you're sick of me you may just say so and I'll stop bothering you!

— OMG! I had no idea you were holding all of this in...I just been on the phone with my dad earlier telling him how grateful I am to have a friend who doesn't like drama...and you know whom I was referring to?

— Oh so you call this drama? I can't believe you...

— Well you better do! I'm the one who should ask you stuff given how exciting your life has become! Do you know how fearful I am to even text you nowadays? Fearful of being that one boring friend who's got nothing intresting to say other than asking 'how're you' because I actually wish to know how you're doing! But no, you got so many plans and academic projects at hand that you can't fit a conversation with your average worker friend! So you reply at 3am dragging me into an offline exchange I can barely exceed three words of input in since I am not as bright as you are! I've never done emailing and $it!

*silence*

 — Don't you know something called small talk? It's for stupid people and sometimes can be pretty humane! And GOD stop texting me at 3 in the morning! I have an early and fixed sleeping schedule because my life is tediously repetitive and predictable! 

— Why don't you just quit? 

— Who's gonna provide for me, you? 

— Dude, I'm litreally broke! 

— Well then stop bringing me food and save your money for once! 

— I have never complained about that, why you gotta take everything personally? We're literally acting like a married couple right now, I can't believe this! 

— That's why I hate drama.

— But I don't, and howcome you avoided to answer my question? I thought you share everything with me!

— What question?

— How did you find the pictures? 

— I haven't, he showed them to me.

— Amazing! I thought he's all stuck-up and professional to actually share with you something personal. 

— Well there is a lot you don't know about him. 

— *eyes wide open* well at this point looks like there is a lot I don't know about you...

— What? 

— Nothing! Ouuh shoot I better run, I'll be late to class again...

— Oh my! It's already 3:30 how are you gonna make it on time? 

— I won't, but I'll have to keep them longer 

— Poor kids..

— They actually love staying longer and not having to go home on time. Plus they're not kids and they hate their parents! 

— Sheesh!

— Anyways t'care for now. I'll catch you later! 

— *blowing a kiss* good luck honey and sorry about what I said... keep shining! 

— Sorry too! You're right, drama is only good on screen 

— it's all fine!

*someone suddenly walks in*

— Oh hey doctor, good to see you!

— How're you?

— I am fine and late, so excuse me for now!

— No problem! Have a good day.

*Doc turns to the assistant*

"Why weren't you replying to my calls?"
