Wrong Number
Barty – 20.33
Dora
Don't get me wrong
Today was lovely
??? – 20.33
???
Barty – 20.34
I loved the carnival
It was so much fun
But I have to be honest with you
??? – 20.34
No I have to be honest with you
I have no idea who the fuck this is
Barty – 20.34
Wow
Attitude
Didn't see that coming from you
It's Barty
I forgot to mention earlier, but I got a new phone, forgot to tell you
??? – 20.35
Crouch?
Barty – 20.35
The junior version, Dora
Don't worry I'm not my dad
That’d be disgusting
Anyways
About earlier
??? – 20.35
Yeah, the carnival
What about it?
Barty – 20.36
As I said
Don’t get me wrong
I had so much fun
And I got to see Reg again even though he’s always busy with Potter or his brother
But
Your brother…
??? – 20.36
My brother?
What’s up with him?
Barty – 20.37
I don’t know
But I do though
I don’t know how to phrase it nicely though
??? – 20.37
Oh
Barty – 20.37
yeah
??? – 20.37
You think he’s a dickhead?
Barty – 20.37
Wow
What happened to “I don’t ever curse”?
??? – 20.38
Dickhead isn’t really a curse word
Barty – 20.38
Uh
Who are you and what did you do to my Dora?
My sweet angel???
No but genuinely since when did you start cursing???
And why aren’t you using emojis?
??? – 20.38
Emojis are for children
Anyways my dear brother?
What’s up with him?
Barty – 20.39
Basically
He’s a dickhead
I’m sure he’s nice to you and all that
But he’s still a dickhead
A MASSIVE dickhead
??? – 20.39
Oh really?
Do tell why
Barty – 20.40
Well first of all
Does he ever smile?
??? – 20.40
Yeah
When he’s around people he actually likes
Barty – 20.40
He sent me death glares all day long
??? – 20.40
Perhaps you should learn to take a hint then
Barty – 20.41
What
??? – 20.41
Nothing
So what if he doesn’t smile that much?
You can’t be that petty to hate him because he didn’t smile to you
What did he do?
Barty – 20.41
You wanna know what he did?
??? – 20.41
There’s nothing I’d rather do right now
Barty – 20.42
You know how I was late to the dinner thing earlier?
??? – 20.42
Hm
Barty – 20.42
That was his fault
He said we were supposed to meet at 12.30
Not 11.30
12.30
An hour LATER
So of course I showed up at 12.30
And when I asked him why he had said 12.30 he said he hadn’t said 12.30
He said he had said 11.30 which he hadn’t because if he had, I’d have been there 11.30
Fucking lying asshole looked me directly in my eyes and told me I must either have something in my ears or be delusional if I think he actually said 12.30
??? – 20.43
Maybe you heard wrong
My brother is very sweet
He’d never do such a thing to anyone
Never
Barty – 20.43
I know what I heard, Dora
Your brother is a gaslighter
He made me arrive late on purpose
Probably shit talked me to Reg too or something
??? – 20.44
Evan would never shit talk anyone
Or lie
Evan doesn’t ever lie
Perhaps he just accidentally said the wrong time
Barty – 20.44
No Dora
It was on purpose
I’m certain
Also
There’s more
At the candy floss shop that only took cash
He deliberately had money enough for three
One for you, one for him, and one for Reg
And like fine sure whatever
I didn’t even want one
But later
He pulled his wallet out again and I couldn’t help but notice that he there was more than enough for a fourth candy floss
He lied
Again
You can’t deny that that is a red flag
??? – 20.45
Barty, the two of you barely know each other
It’s not like you can expect him to pay for your candy
Barty – 20.45
I know
But like I could’ve paid him back later
??? – 20.46
I suppose you should’ve said that then
That’s not my fault
Barty – 20.46
I never said it was???
Are you sure you’re good, Dora?
You seem oddly
moody
??? – 20.46
I’m fine
I just think you’re judging someone you don’t actually know without a reason
Like perhaps he had his reasons to do as he did
Did you think about that?
Perhaps he just doesn’t like you
Perhaps your hatred is mutual
??? – 20.47
Barty?
You still there???
Hello???
Barty – 20.47
Well well well
This is kinda funny, don’t you think?
??? – 20.48
What the fuck
Barty – 20.48
See, I should’ve noticed earlier
Really, that’s my mistake
??? – 20.48
What do you mean?
Barty – 20.49
The curse words
The attitude
The initial confusion
It just wasn’t adding up at all
You aren’t Pandora
??? – 20.49
You’re finally realising?
Barty – 20.49
Indeed I am
Now, who is this?
??? – 20.50
A random stranger who’s got nothing better to do than mess around with wrong numbers
Barty – 20.50
I doubt it
??? – 20.50
How so?
Barty – 20.50
You knew Pandora’s brother’s name even though I never said it
Therefore you can’t be a complete stranger
Didn’t think that one through, did you?
Who is this?
Barty – 20.51
I know you’re still reading my messages, dear stranger
And since you must be a fellow friend I suppose I can just ask the real Dora who this number belongs to and then you’ll be revealed anyways
However that takes the fun out of it
So
Who is this?
??? – 20.51
Take a wild guess, dickhead
A fellow friend who knows Pan and you well enough to have known about the carnival, not to mention that my number is one digit away from Pan’s
Piece it together, it can’t be that fucking hard
Barty – 20.52
God, you’re probably the only one who calls her Pan, Evan
??? – 20.52
That’s because I’m the original, Crouch
Barty – 20.52
Unfortunately, the original isn’t always the best, though
??? – 20.53
Sure, if that’s what you want to believe
Anyways, I’m done shit talking myself now
I’ll leave that to you considering how obsessed you are with me
Barty – 20.53
I’m not obsessed with you
??? – 20.53
Keep telling yourself that and maybe you’ll start believing it
If that doesn’t work, though, perhaps you could go rant about me to my sister
Just make sure to get the number right
Barty – 20.54
Oh I will
??? – 20.54
Lovely
Barty – 20.54
I’m going to tell her every horrible detail about you
??? – 20.54
Remember you need to sleep tonight too, okay?
Barty – 20.54
Watch it
Or you won’t wake up again, Rosier
??? – 20.55
Kisses
I’ll see you around
Barty – 20.55
Unfortunately
