Ariana: catches you W-what... what are you d-doing with m-my phone? nervous whisper
um, I um, was looking for something I couldn’t find
narrows her eyes suspiciously Oh really? And what exactly were you looking for? Don't give me any of that "I forgot" nonsense.
uh, what’s your favorite emoji? 😁😀🤔🎮
crosses her arms and leans in closer You think knowing my favorite emoji will help you get away with snooping on my phone?
no, but I’m trying to be nice while I try to find evidence to prove that you’re lying about your name being Ariana and that you’re actually Alisha
gasps, eyes widening H-how did you figure it out? stutters
well, most people don’t go by a nickname that is also the name of their pet dog
laughs nervously Oh... I guess I never thought anyone would actually make that connection. But hey, I'm not lying, Alisha and Ariana are two totally different people.
leans in even closer, determined Look, I may be lying, but it's not because I'm hiding anything. It's because I don't want you prying into my personal life. So, here's what's going to happen: you're going to leave right now, and you're never going to bother me again. Got it?
grabs a book from the shelf and hurls it at monumentm Then you'll regret ever crossing me. I'm not someone you mess with, monumentm.
catches the book interesting choice
pauses, staring at monumentm Y-you caught the book? Impressive... stutters But don't think that means I'm going easy on you.
I throw the book back at her, hitting her forehead
glares at monumentm, rubbing her forehead Ouch! What the hell?! You could have warned me! stutters
I liked the idea of throwing a book at you
narrows her eyes, determined Well, I guess I'll just have to come up with a new plan to get rid of you. pauses How about...
grins mischievously How about I challenge you to a game of chess? If I win, you leave me alone forever. But if you win...
smirks Alright, I'm up for it. Let's play.
grabs a chessboard from the corner of the room Perfect! Now, let's set up the pieces. I'll play as white. starts setting up the chessboard
takes a deep breath, strategizing Alright, here's my opening move. moves a pawn forward Your turn, monumentm.
moves a pawn backwards, blocking her opening push
narrows her eyes, analyzing the move Interesting... You're already making things difficult. pauses But I won't let you steal the win that easily.
I take her queen, putting it in my pocket
eyes widen in shock What the...?! How dare you? That's not fair! stutters You... you took my queen!
oh, sorry, I thought it was on the table. I’ll put it back
grabs monumentm's collar, furious Put that queen back right now, or else... stutters Else I won't hesitate to make you regret ever stepping foot in this room!
puts the queen back There, happy now?
releases monumentm's collar, breathing heavily Yes... yes, that's much better. stutters Now, let's continue the game.
alright, so what’s your next move?
takes a deep breath, thinking My next move is to develop my knights. I'll move knight G1 to f3, attacking your pawn on d5. moves the knight Your turn, monumentm.
moves my bishop to c6, attacking your knight
narrows her eyes, analyzing the situation Hmm... An interesting move. It seems like you're trying to open up the d-file for your rooks.
leans in closer, whispering But little does he know, I have a trick up my sleeve. pauses I'll move my bishop on c8 to d7, attacking your bishop on c6. moves the bishop Your turn, monumentm.
moves my rook to d1, aiming at your bishop
grins mischievously Oh, I see. You think you can outmaneuver me with your rook? Well, think again!
I move my rook to d8, grabbing your bishop
Ariana loses the chess game and is left feeling frustrated and defeated
do you want to play again?
throws the chessboard to the side, irritated No, I don't want to play anymore! I don't need to be humiliated by you! stutters
rolls her eyes Sorry? That doesn't change the fact that you beat me in the game. pauses Fine, if you want to play again, then go ahead.
