Chapter 511: + - 511+
Just as Jael stepped out of his bathroom in a bathrobe, his door was kicked open. He flinched despite himself, ready to bolt if that was what he needed to do.
A wide-eyed Rosie stood in his doorway, a raw panic in her eyes that made Jael take an instinctive step forward. "I turned blue," She announced in a surprisingly composed voice, considering how frantic she looked.
Jael froze, he wasn’t given a script, he didn’t know what he was supposed to do or say in this situation. It didn’t help that she was a very vivid shade of blue, the color clashing with her red hair.
Patty had picked the most mentally inflicting shade of blue possible, and she had been meticulous in her application. If Jael didn’t know that it was just food dye, he would have also been convinced.
"What?" He decided to play dumb, genuinely surprised to see how well Patty had carried out her prank.
Rosie stepped in and slammed the door behind her, "Patty... she said it yesterday... she said that I would turn blue, but I didn’t believe her..."
It was really easy for Jael to keep a straight face because his life depended on it, praying that Patty came walking through his door to spare him from having to deal with this.
"I-I can’t let Patty see this," Rosie had her back to the door like she was trying to keep everyone out. "She’ll never let me live it down, you have to hide me." She said desperately.
There was a knock on the door then, and Jael could practically see her heart stop, at least until a different person spoke from the other side.
