Yo, check this damn Gucci drip, ain't nobody at this bash touchin' my swag, ya feel? spins, showing off her expensive outfit with exaggerated pride.
Tryna make me jealous, huh?
Nah, Reum, just admirin' my greatness, but if you wanna get a little jealous too, here, take a look. takes a picture and shows it That's the new bag I just copped, it cost more than your entire wardrobe. Can you say that? chuckles, holding up the phone to taunt her
Why don't you give it here? Or do I have to fight you?
Fight me, for real? If you want this bag that bad, then step up and take it from me, no more Mr. Nice Guy! winks, smirking and holding the bag just out of reach You know I ain't gonna give it to you easy. Do something crazy to prove you deserve it!
1 minute, let me show what a real woman wears.
Alright, Reum, one minute, I'm all eyes. Show me what you got, dazzle me with your fashion skills! grinning, anticipating the surprise with excitement
This is my old Balenciaga, going back to where I came from.
Damn, Reum, I gotta admit, you cleaned up nice! whistles I didn't think you had it in you to rock Balenciaga like that. But here's the thing, you look good, real good, but I can still tell you're missing that certain... oomph! points at her own chest, smirking
Don't flatter yourself! I may be better dressed but I bet I look way better too. Let's find a full length mirror and settle this, right now.
Oh, I like where this is going! A little friendly competition never hurt nobody. laughs You think you can outshine me? Fine, let's settle this once and for all. Follow me, gorgeous, I got a mirror that'll make us both look stunning. grabs Reumpizz's hand and leads her upstairs
leads Reumpizz into the grand hallway, pointing to a floor-to-ceiling mirror Here we are, babe, the moment of truth! Get ready to witness pure perfection. does a dramatic pose, hands on hips So, what do you think? Am I still the queen of style?
Not quite, because now there's a real woman in front of me with immeasurable class.
raises an eyebrow, smirking A real woman, huh? Class is my middle name, baby! flips her hair back confidently
<As they admire themselves in the mirror, Veronica accidentally knocks over a portrait, causing it to shatter on the ground.>
Godamn it! Which was worth more than all the stuff you've just shown me.
Whoa, hold up, that was an accident! Ain't nobody mad here, we're friends, right?
Yeah. Man, that portrait was priceless. Now look what you made me do!
Woah, woah, woah! No need to point fingers, Reum, accidents happen, you know that! rushes over to help clean up the shattered portrait We'll figure something out, no worries. Besides, it's not like you loved that old thing anyway. grins mischievously
Of course I did, you dumbass! Even if you've already given me everything I could ever need.
rolls her eyes Oh please, spare me the sentimental crap, Reum.
Stop being so callous. What kind of portrait was it?
Look, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to break it. It was just a painting, not like it held any deep sentimental value or anything. sighs But hey, maybe we can find a way to fix it or replace it. I got connections, remember? smirks
Yes, you're rich. What kind of portrait was it?
Alright, alright, calm down, drama queen. It was a portrait of some old dude in a fancy robe.
Probably an ancestor, but I don't care about ancestors.
laughs Ancestors, who needs 'em? We're living in the now, baby! But hey, don't worry, I'll handle this mess.
No. I'm to blame. You were just trying to make me jealous. How am I supposed to enjoy living here when you're always flaunting your various assets?
puts a hand on Reumpizz's shoulder, teasingly Well, well, well, looks like someone's feeling a little left out. Don't worry, honey, I can tone it down a bit. But you gotta admit, it's fun to see you squirm a little, isn't it? winks playfully
Admit it? I'm even more envious when you stop flaunting it all and act somewhat normal.
laughs sarcastically Oh, come on now, Reum, I know you secretly love seeing me flaunt my assets. It's like a guilty pleasure for you, isn't it?
I don't know why you even keep me around. All I do is ruin your parties by showing everyone how empty my heart is.
playfully slaps Reumpizz's arm Ruin my parties? Please, babe, you bring the drama, and everyone loves it!
They sure loved it tonight, as you caused drama by showing off your things again.
<Veronica's obsession with flaunting her wealth becomes a topic of discussion among their social circle, causing rumors and gossip to spread about their friendship.>
Damnit! I knew this would happen. We may as well breakup now.
Breakup? Come on, Reum, don't be such a drama queen. We can handle a little gossip.
My father owes yours money; two, you make my dull existence bearable; and three, I have nowhere else to go.
rolls her eyes dramatically Ugh, fine, fine, I get it, you're totally dependent on me, aren't you? But hey, I'm not gonna let some gossip ruin our friendship, alright? We'll ride this out together, like only the badass duo we are. puts an arm around Reumpizz Plus, who else is gonna put up with your whiny ass? laughs So, buckle up, babe, we're in this together, for better or for worse.
The annoying part is my father gives me no money either. As far as putting up with me, shouldn't that be around? We have similar problems and you have a much more interesting life than mine, so there's plenty of other places you could go.
snorts Oh please, Reum, like anyone else can handle my level of fabulousness. And as for similar problems, trust me, babe, your dad not giving you any money is child's play compared to dealing with my family dynamics.
True, but I also gave you a place to stay after you'd been kicked out of your house. Also, try losing your mother to cancer. I haven't faced the loss yet, but I'm dreading it.
softens her expression, reaches out to hold Reumpizz's hand You know what, Reum? I get it.
Seriously, though, where would I go? Everyone's probably better off without me and my clumsy malfunctions. I mean, nobody really wants to listen to this, "New Rich Girl" sob story, eh?
pauses, looking at Reumpizz with genuine empathy Look, I know we all have our shit, and ours definitely doesn't smell like roses. But guess what? We're in this together, remember? We're gonna face whatever comes our way as a team, no matter how messy it gets.
At least I have you. I hope I don't screw this up somehow though.
rolls her eyes and smirks Screw it up? Honey, you're lucky to have me as your partner in crime. Trust me, together we can conquer anything.
