Chapter 45 by AnchorPillar

Prepare with World Tome or Not?

No way you're going unprepared.

Entering your locker room you become very aware of just how much you sweated. You don't remember the room being particularly cold but it felt like a walk in freezer. You stripped off your workout clothes as you made your way to your locker and the app you've been trying to avoid all day.

Lunch's weirdness was unavoidable, and you thought talking to the not-quite Jess clone helped. It hadn't. If anything it had just made intrusive thoughts bounce around your head more. You're also craving soft serve ice cream, which you're sure is connected but you have no idea how.

All too soon you had your phone in your hands, and the icon right there.You don't know how long you stared at World Tome, but you had to wake the screen several times before you finally tapped it.

The layout was vastly different, and with a banner proclaiming it 'Power User edition'. It took you a while just to figure out where the thesaurus was. When you did find it there was only one thing you could tell immediately tell wasn't a part of any other thesaurus: a massive banner at the bottom of the screen that said 'check out your power user privileges today!'.

A thesaurus that didn't have a search feature, just skip to first letter would have been annoying enough by itself. The fact it was on an app that could rewrite reality itself was insulting. Plus you couldn't just scroll back from 'R' to get to the end of 'Q', you had to get to 'quad' you would have to start at 'Qa'.

Your already frayed nerves were reaching a breaking point; school is over in fifteen minutes, your girlfriends could come in at any time and you're just naked in front of your locker looking at your phone! You haven't managed to find anything, let alone anything useful! All you've managed to do is scroll down and fail at avoiding the banner that you swear is getting bigger.

And every time you hit that banner you get sent to a different page and lose your place. There aren't that many Q words, yet you are consistently unable to get past the 'Qe's.

You hear the opening of the door and slam you phone (very painfully) into your boob to hide it

"Heya Ha..." Everything froze. Oliver and Michelle were at the door, Michelle mid sentence as Oliver hung off of her. Behind them the crowded hallway was a jumbled mess of girls in stopped motion. Slowly you lifted your phone off your boob and looked at the screen.
