Muriel reached her house which sat between one of the many other identical looking ones, pale and cream colored and boring with the standard two floors. It wasn't flamboyant as the more wealthier families had, but it wasn't below average either. Muriel liked to think that her family was at the comfortable level of middle class. With a heavy heart, the girl entered her house after unlocking it with her house keys.
"I'm home," she called out, even though she knew her parents were still at work. The blonde removed her yellow-pastel cardigan, letting the material slide off her arms and hung it neatly on the coat rack near the door before retreating to her room upstairs. There, as if on cue, her personal phone rang on her desk next to her desktop computer. Muriel nonchalantly picked it up and greet the caller.
"Hello, Muriel Gibson speaking,"
"Oh my gosh, Muri girl, it's Diane."
Muriel smiled weakly; it was one of her friends from her old town.
"Hi, how're you doing?"
"I should ask you that question, girl!" Came Diane's enthusiastic reply. "I saw the posts up here on Facebook; you were with the super hottie Nychta Fallen! You know, the guy who plays Griffin in Envy?"
Muriel laughed nervously while twirling the golden locks with her fingers. "Ah, um, I guess so,"
Diane sighed, and Muriel can imagine her shrugging on the other line. "Of course you don't know him - you should really catch up to us and the others - you're missing out, Muri!"
Muriel looked to the side of her desk where her textbook of botanic encyclopedia sat. Obviously, her attention was directed at something else. "Mm," Was all she could say before Diane unleashed a torrent of gushing about the latest episode of Envy and how amazing Nyck's acting was.. Until something dawned to her.
"But wait," Muriel interrupted Diane for a moment. "Facebook? How did you know through Facebook? I didn't told you anything about it yet."
She could swear she could hear Diane roll her eyes. "Honey, you didn't have to. Other people just share these photos with each other and gets viral super fast."
Muriel felt her blood run cold and she gripped the lock of her hair that she was playing at. She couldn't say anything at all - besides feeling terror etch her stomach.
"Muri girl?" Diane's voice was now quiet and concerned.
"Ah, um," Muriel tried to speak, but her voice was weak. "Sorry. I don't think I like my situation at all."
She looks at her purse that contained the card that Nyck gave her.. and had a smallish idea.
"Diane, sorry but," Muriel took a deep breath while opening her purse with one hand. "I'll call you later."
