Intermission - Pet camera.

Isabelle had completely forgotten she left it there. She didn’t tell Oliver, and by the looks of it, he hadn’t noticed it. It WAS rather small. For all that is good and pure, she did not mean to spy on him or anything! It was an accident. A damn accident!

She forgot she left the pet camera in his bedroom, and that the thing also came with an internal microphone. A crappy microphone, but it had one. She bought it like two days ago, tried it and wanted to show it to her brother, so she went into his room. He wasn't there and her mom called her, so she just left it on the floor next to his computer desk.

The camera was connected to her phone, so as she waited for the lady at the animal store to bring her Cake’s formula, she decided to check if it really did work from anywhere. And it did.

Why? Why was she catching Oliver’s secrets by accident!? She didn’t mean it! And now she was finding out that Noelle seemed to have a crush on Oliver, and that her brother also sort of liked her friend.

It was shocking enough that her brother was going out with THREE GIRLS, but now this? And of course he’d say something like “It has to be nothing.”

God, what should she do? Should she even do anything? To her, the answer was obviously no, don’t interfere. But if Noelle had a crush on Oliver, she was only going to get hurt, and the last thing she wanted was for her brother to end up hurting her friends, even if he didn’t mean it.

“Dammit, Oliver. Why’d you have to become such a handful?”

“Did you say something, miss?” the cashier asked her.

Isabelle blushed deeply. “N-No! Sorry, haha. Just talking to myself.”

Isabelle didn’t know what to do. The most sensible thing that came to mind was trying to make Noelle forget about Oliver, but… the idea of one of her best friends dating her brother was… neat.

“I’ll just see where things go, I guess.”

Oh, and she had to get that camera out of his room without him noticing. THANK GOD she only caught him talking to Thomas and not doing… something else. Whatever that something else was.
