"No way! I'm not doing that, no." I shook my head and took a few steps back, horrified. "Never."
What he just said... That's not a thing any human being should go through.
"Well," Santo shrugged and sighed mockingly. "I guess you'll never know what he wanted to say."
I gritted my teeth. He walked right past me, making sure to shoulder me on his way.
"You are the evil twin." I accused, following him out. "Just give me my phone back, and I promise I won't choke you to death in your sleep."
He stopped walking and turned to face me with a thinking expression. I could suddenly feel my heartbeat in my ears and- "No."
"Ugh!" I groaned. "You know what? I don't need my phone." I exclaimed angrily, but still tried to snatch it out of his hand.
He raised my phone even higher than before, a smug look on his face. That's it, he's on my hit list.
I took an angry step back and looked at him pointedly. "Jace probably wanted to tell me they're here."
Am I right? I can just go to his house. I don't need the useless brick Santo stole from me.
"Or he simply called to tell you to shut up again. Would you really want to go all the way there just to get disappointed?" Santo asked, looking at me with his stupid smirk.
I hate the fact that he could be right. Jace did call me yesterday just to yell at me. So what if I sent him a hundred messages in ten minutes? It's not my fault he has a job.
"I hate you." My jaw clenched, and my arms begged to punch him.
"Just do it! It's not that like you'll die." he slumped down into the couch, looking at me exasperatedly.
"Then why won't you do it?" I shot, standing right above him. He tries to blackmail me, and thinks I'll just go with it?
If we talked about chores or literally anything else, I'd agree. But this? This is pure evil.
"Okay, you might die." Santo responded after a moment of thought. He leaned towards me, like he wants to tell me a secret. "I'll make sure your friends will be at your funeral."
I breathed out angrily. I am dealing with the actual devil. Maybe I can change my tactics.
"I'll do anything, just not this." I begged, looking at him pleadingly.
But Santo didn't care.
"Time is ticking." he pointed to the watch on my hand and leaned back casually on the couch.
"I'll organize your closet!"
"No."
"I'll clean your room for the rest of my days."
"No."
"I'll give you every bag of chips I have."
"No."
"God! You're so annoying!" I yelled, kicking his leg harshly. I can't believe that I'm going to do this.
"Ow." he whined, and I glared. "Shut up, you sociopath! When this is over," I waved my hands around. "I'll kill you. Slowly, and very, very, very-"
"Fine, I get it." he interrupted, and I kicked his leg again. "Ow!" "Don't interrupt me." I hissed, kicking him twice more. "Very, very painfully."

So that's how I found myself in front of Rivo's room.
"Come on, Olive. You've got this." I chanted, slapping my face gently. I can do it.
"Remember, all you need to do is delete a photo of me from his phone without waking him up, that's easy." Santo whispered from behind me, massaging my tense shoulders.
"You said he hides the phone inside his dirty laundry!" I whispered harshly back. He specifically used the words 'Under his gross underwears'.
"Well, he never leaves his phone when he's up, and he knows my weakness! He's a fucking pig." he looked at me like I'm crazy. He sends me to do it, and I'm the crazy one?
"Stop talking or I'll throw up on you." I mumbled and turned my eyes back to Rivo's door.
Okay, I can do it.
I slowly opened the door. This is my first time inside his room, and let me tell you something.
Rivo is, in fact, a giant pig.
I've seen boys' rooms in my life, but this? This is on a different level. Let's start with the smell. I don't know what kind of monster he is, but no one should be able to sleep peacefully when surrounded by that smell.
What even is that?
Let's just move on before I'll throw up. With every step I took, I stepped on a different type of clothing. Was he seriously judging my room before? At least I had an excuse.
He has like twenty laundry mountains here, how can I find the one with the phone?
Fuck you, Santo.
Rivo was sleeping shirtless on his bed, looking like he has no problems in his life.
I, on the other hand, was freaking out. If he wakes up and catches me, I'm dead. We've had a few wrestling fights over the last few days, and Rivo is definitely a worthy opponent. Even if I felt like he was going easy on me.
Oh my God. Okay. Focus.
Looking around the room, I spotted a pile of underwears only. I threw up a little in my mouth. This has to be it.
With a small glance towards Rivo, I made my way to it. I kicked the pile with a grimace, one hand on my nose.
I hate boys.
"Come on..." I mumbled, trying to feel something with my foot. Every time my skin made contact with his underwears, I felt like dying.
When my foot landed on something hard, I breathed out a sigh of relief. Step one is officially completed. Now I need to fish it out.
I can't just pick it up, Rivo's boxers are all over it for fuck's sake. I took a clean shirt from his closet and wrapped it around my hand.
On my way back to the pile, I noticed an opened jar of pickles on his desk.
Great, we found the source of the hideous smell.
With much difficulty and nonstop gagging, I managed to get a hold of his phone. After typing quickly the password Santo made me memorize, it opened.
"Please don't have a Dick Pic, please don't have a Dick Pic." I whispered pleadingly before opening his gallery.
"Oh thank God." I almost collapsed. There were photos of his muscles, but that's all.
Santo said Rivo's been blackmailing him since three days ago, so I hurriedly searched for a photo of him.
A loud snore almost made me drop the phone. I turned around with wide eyes, but when I saw that he was still sleeping, I returned my attention back to the phone.
Bingo.
There was a photo of a sleeping Santo. His face was full of colorful make up, and a pink shirt on top of his bare chest.
Aw, he looks like a princess.
Wait, is that my shirt?
After staring at the photo for a few seconds, I shook my head and deleted it. No matter how funny it was, I came here on a mission.
I quietly placed his phone back inside the gross pile, covering it with laundry. I'm never entering this room again.
Closing the door behind be, I finally took a deep breath. Fresh air.
"Well? Did you do it?" Santo whispered excitedly from next to me. I looked at him with a glare. "I did, princess."
His cheeks turned pink. "Let's never talk about this again."
"Fuck off."
He rolled his eyes, but there was a hint of amusement in them. "A deal is a deal." he held out my phone, and I immediately took it.
I wanted to call Jace back desperately, but I still had one question in mind. "Where on earth did Rivo get makeup?"
Santo chuckled. "He has a stack from girls who left theirs here."
I might just fished a phone from a pile of underwears, but imagining Rivo with girls takes the cake. Ew.
Another loud snore made the both of us jump. "let's go." he whispered, and I followed him instantly down the stairs.
"God, I can still smell his room." I shivered. Santo gave me an apologetic smile. "It's not usually that bad, but he had to make sure I won't... Well, do what you just did." I punched him. "Yeah, thanks for that, asshole."
"Aren't you the best sister ever?" he muttered sarcastically, rubbing his sore arm.
"At least I didn't force you to dig inside his underwears!"
"Hey, it was a blackmail chain. We both are the victims!" he raised his hands in surrender.
I narrowed my eyes at him. "I will have my revenge, pretty boy." This time, I shouldered him on my my out.
"You think I'm pretty?" he called back, and I could practically feel his smirk.
"Shut up!"
