Now We’re Connected (1/?)
Su looked up from placing her cup of coffee, to see her friend staring at her phone atop the table. "What?"
"That. Is an abomination" Gloria said pointing at the black, dirty and broken iCarrot. She gave a slight scrunch of her nose as she took a sip of her latte.
Su and her best friend, Gloria, a beautiful wheat-colored and fierce bunny, always went for a cup of coffee during break hours at work. Well, at least when they weren't occupied. A way to relax after a tiring day. Su worked as a teacher in a reputed school in middle of Downtown, where as Gloria worked in a high-end corporation. Both felt that this coffee break was what they needed as a boost and would meet up at the nearest Snarlbucks, for both of them, for a quick breather.
Su rolled her eyes and looked away in embarrassment. "Come on, Gloria. It's not that bad. It needs a little work, yes, but I can work with it! It's probably a year or two old." She said sheepishly.
"Bad?" Gloria raised her eyes in amusement and scoffed. "That thing looks ancient! You know, if you gave that to a museum, you'd fetch a hefty sum just from that alone. Maybe you can use that money to buy a new phone. And I'll be the first person to go and see that phone in the stone age display."
Su groaned and hit her head on the table, blushing deep red. Her friend sighed and kept her cup down and patted her head gently. "Look, Su. I think it's time you stopped taking hand-me-downs from others in your family. I mean, I get it that we have a lot of siblings and all, but still you know. You're an independent girl! Surely, you can buy a new phone, can't you?"
The white rabbit sighed, lifting her head and adjusting the soft black scarf around her head. "You're right, Glo. I should probably get a new one. This thing's about to break anyways. Plus, I can't hear my parents on MuzzleTime either."
"That's the spirit!" Gloria clapped in excitement, bouncing in her seat. Su smiled lightly at her friend's cute behavior and glanced at her phone. Maybe it's not a bad idea. A new phone would be nice.
Her ear perked up at the sound of Gloria's phone vibrating. The doe swiped her phone open and furrowed her eyebrows after a minute. She sighed and started to put her things away. "My colleague just messaged me. Seems like there's something going on and they need me there. I'll be heading out, sweetie."
Su nodded understandingly. "I'll walk you to your work. I had a half day so I'll head home after that." She helped Gloria get everything and both walked out of the café.
The weather was pleasant, not too hot nor too cold. Thank God, March doesn’t come with a lot of heat. The summers are more difficult for Su to handle, since she always wore long dresses and her hijab. Mostly black. It looked good on her, contrasting.
As they neared Gloria's place of work, she turned around to the snow-white bunny and said encouragingly, "My boyfriend, Chase… He knows someone, a close friend of his, who could help you with your phone. He works at a good store and can aid you. Shall I send you the address?"
Su nodded in approval. "I'll go down this evening, I guess. I don't have a lot of work for today."
"Great." Gloria stopped in front of the entrance to a huge corporation. "I'll message you in a bit. Be careful on your way home, okay?"
They said their goodbyes and Su walked on ahead, pondering over what Gloria said, in the warm afternoon.
Okay. I know this is short but I’m trying to get some down once in a while since I’m stocked up on a lot of school work and upcoming exams as well ^^’ Everybody’s been asking how me and Jay met, so I decided to write it down. =D A big thanks to one of my dear friends here, @soranii314 🌺 for letting me use her zoosona for this story and even in real life for always supporting me and my wolf through all our endeavors. ✨ I hope you all liked it, and I will post more soon. <3
