The Spider
Hiya Arya, mum gave me your new number – this is mine! Stop dropping your phone in loo!
Also, finally finished unpacking so you should come down to KL when you get a chance – I can get you a discount at SnakeAlley.
I know you're not into fashion, but it's not my style – its totally yours though
You'll love it!
Arya, just tried calling you and it went straight to voicemail. Call me.
Call me when you get this message.
Arya, I really need you! Please call back.
Seriously – I am freaking out – call me.
Arya! There is a godsdamned spider in my room and its huge, help me.
I think it's a bitey spider.
Arya! Its moved between me and the door and now I can't leave my room. I'm stuck.
Please
Arya

ARYA
AYRA
I turn my phone on after work and I have 6 missed calls and 20 messages.
Spider still there?
YES it's still there! I can't leave my room.
Its between me and the door.
I tried to go around it but it turned around to face me.
It's watching me
Arya, It's watching me.
With its too many eyes
Okay, calm down. You have packing boxes.
So kill the fucker.
I can't kill it!
It's not its fault that I have a totally justifiable fear of it.
Just squash it with a box, put it out of its misery.
No!
What it has a wife and little baby spiders.
Wtf
Also, the boxes aren't in my room.
Why did you have to stay in the North. You should be here wth me, doing that glass thing.
But it won't fit in the glass.
Glass thing?
You know, you trap it in a glass and slide a piece of paper under it and let it go outside.
Why don't you do that.
Because it'll move!
And bite me!
And I think it's too big to fit in one of my glasses.
Also, I don't have a glass in my room.
Or a paper.
Or any sense
HEY! It's not funny to mock me in my time of need.
Okay here's what you're going to do.
You have shoes?
Of course
Shoe box?
Yes
Take the lid off a shoebox.
And split the corners so its flat.
You there?
Yes, sorry.
Okay, got the lid done?
Just a mintue.
Minute
Done
Good. Now take the shoes out of the box.
K
And do the glass thing with the shoe box.
What if it hurts me?
It won't if you drop the box from above.
Ah! I get it.
You're so smrt
Smat
SMART
Okay
I can do this.
So do it.
Don't rush me.
DID IT.
Great!
The box is over the spider.
Can I just leave it there?
What
No
Slide the fucking lid under the box already
Ok ok!
Jeeze
You done yet?
Hey
You there?
I did it!
Is the spider still in your place?
Nope! It's in the bush out the front of the building!
I am dancing around right now!
Thanks for the help!
Any time
So are you gonna come stay with me for a while?
Arya?
You there?
Not Arya
Your mum gave you the wrong number.
Not funny
It's really not
You're serious?
As a punch in the balls
Omg
I'm so sorry
Likr, so sorry
What for?
Wasting your evening?
It was nothing
Just sitting here having a beer after work
Well… thanks for your help
It was all you little bird.
Little bird?!
What?!
I could be a cage fighter for all you know
What?! Cage fighter, no
Just, no
Lol
What?!
Don't you work in a girly store?
Its not girly! Its like goth or alternative
I had to watch a tonne of youtube videos to work out how to do my hair and makeup
Just for the interview
You just proved my point little bird
You can't see me
But I am making angry faces
And I am making amused faces
Ugh.
Whatevs
Whatevs?
Are you in high school?
Should you be living in KL now?
It's no place for little girls?
What?! I'm 22!
And just cos I am not like an old man or something.
Doesn't mean I can't live here.
Also, my grad school is here.
Old man.
You can't goad me little bird.
I am made of stronger stuff
Fine,
What do I call you
If not old man
What?
I can't have you in my phone as Arya
Just call me Hound.
Hound?
Yeah, Hound.
What a pair. The hound and the little bird.
Sounds like a disney movie :D
Hey hound?
Yeah?
thanks for the helping me with the spider.
Anytime
Night, Hound
