"Astrology.com says that this month Virgos will easily have new thoughts and ideas that may alter my daily routines. Do you think there's anything that could happen in the next month that could do that?" Melissa was rambling about her Astrology.com nonsense.
Jax rolled his eyes. "Honestly, I have no clue, Mel. You're the one obsessed with astrology and zodiacs and stuff. All I know is that I'm worth six goats!"
Melissa stopped in her tracks and looked at him.
"What?" She demanded, looking completely befuddled.
Jax frowned. "You haven't heard of this?"
The blue-haired girl shook her head. "There's a thing that can tell you how many goats you're worth?" She seemed to be unable to comprehend this.
Jax nodded. "Yep. Howmanygoats.com. You HAVE to do it, come on!" the teal-eyed boy grabbed Melissa's arm and ran them toward his house.
"Jax! Wait! We have to-"
"This is much more important than grocery shopping, Melissa! It's like, as important as free chocolate-dipped fruit!" Melissa groaned, remembering that incident.
The black-haired boy waved the girl up the stairs and led her into his room that was almost like her home-away-from-home. Jax jumped back onto his bed and pulled up his laptop, immediately opening his web search and typing in the URL. Melissa gawked as she sat down next to Jax and saw a simple blue background with some text printed on it.
"What even IS this? It doesn't look nearly as good as Astrology.com!" She complained. Jax handed her the laptop.
"Too bad. You're taking this quiz and finding out how many goats you're worth."
Melissa huffed and started answering the questions. They were honestly really stupid, but she couldn't help but smile at that same stupidity. After ten questions, Jax had his answer.
"Nine?! You're worth more goats than me?! No! I refuse!" He announced.
Melissa flicked her hair over her shoulder. "No can do, Jax. The Internet speaks the truth. I'm worth more goats than you, so that's that!"
The teal-eyed boy scrunched his nose. "How could you be worth more goats than me with your naturally blue hair? Goat hair isn't blue! And neither is human hair, technically!"
"Are you kidding? That's the entire reason I'm worth more than you! Naturally blue hair makes me exotic."
Jax rolled his eyes and snorted as Melissa did an exaggerated hair flip. "Stop. Just stop. You're not a meme, Mel. That's me."
"Suuuuuure you are!" The girl-worth-nine-goats booped the boy-worth-six-goats on the nose. Then she got up and ran down Jax's stairs and put the door.
"MELISSA JANE HARMONY! HOW DARE YOU BOOP ME?!" Jax thundered and slid down the banister after his friend.
"Jax! No shouting in the house! And don't slide down the railing, either! You know better!" His mom called from the living room.
"Sorry, Mom!" He called as he chased Melissa out the door. "I have a rogue nose-booper to catch!"
