“I’ve got it.” I snapped again. “It’s PASSWORD. All uppercase.”
Topher deadpanned. “Nope.”
“123456?” Magnolia tried.
Topher shot her a glare. “You already know that’s wrong.”
“Qwerty,” I said.
“Qwerty?” Topher’s entire face scrunched. “That’s not even a word."
I bit back a smile. Magnolia, who was still leaning slightly against me, shook with laughter. I felt it blissfully in my chest.
“Be serious,” Topher snapped. If looks could bruise, I’d be black and blue from his glare.
I tapped my temple and shot back, “Iloveyou?”
“Definitely not,” he huffed. “At least not coming from you.”
I rubbed my temples like my brain was about to start smoking. “ABC123?”
Magnolia’s shoulders shimmied and she hummed the Jackson Five song.
“Bammmp,” Topher bellowed, buzzer style. Super annoying.
“Welcome, sunshine, admin,” I spit out, voice monotone like a robot, getting louder with each word. “Dragon, princess,baseball, starwars, hotstuff.” I kept going, spitting out every word that came to mind.
Magnolia joined in, using a female robot voice. The two of us were a duet of obnoxious cacophony, getting louder with each ‘password.’
“Pokemon.”
“Shadow.”
“7777777!”
“Michelle!”
“Hello!”
Topher’s gaze jutted around like he was trying to figure out how to turn us off.
“Lucky!”
“Starfish!”
“Moron!” That was mine.
“Imbecile!” Magnolia screamed like she’d never felt freer.
“Dingus!”
“Lunatic!”
“Ignoramus!”
Billy came into view, face red, looking like he was about to have an aneurysm. “Stop!” He stormed up to us. “What is wrong with all of you?”
Topher’s arms fell to his side, and his eyes bugged so far I half expected one to roll across the floor.
