It was early on that Saturday, around 6:30am when Jacob called the girls with his feedback.
They had slept together in Olivia's room since her roommate had gone to stay with her boyfriend for a while.
It was the call they've been waiting for so when Natalie woke and saw the caller ID, she shook the girl next to her vigorously while calling onto the ones that were not close to her.
"It's Jacob calling so wake up!" she said urgently.
Hearing the urgency in her voice, the name Jacob and the word calling they rushed up and moved closer to Natalie who immediately picked the call and put it on loudspeaker.
"Hi good morning, I was thinking you guys wouldn't pick up" Jacob said grinning on the other end.
He has always enjoyed being in the company of these girls.
Though they seem cold and rough on the outside, he knows that they care alot about each other and he has always wanted to be on the on the receiving end of such care so he
couldn't be more happy when he was allowed to join their circle.
Ever since then he had vowed to do whatever it takes to make them happy, which is why he went out of his ways to do the things they told him to do.
"Would you just get straight to the point? Your call woke us up so please take into consideration our grumpiness and spill ASAP" Ryan said already irritated by his act of stalling.
She isn't a morning person so she thought that, the fact that she had to wake up so early on a Saturday morning just to hear this news of his should make him hasten up his speech and let them know what they would be doing next.
"Sorry about that" Jacob replied teasingly.
Teasing the girls has become one of the things he loves to do, especially Ryan.
She is like the grumpiest of them all and he knows that him calling so early would no doubt frustrate her.
Not that the early call wasn't intentional in the first place.
He thought, if they made him stay up all night just to dig up informations about Adrian Oak, then they have to at least pay some price.
And he was also amazed by the little information that went around about the guy since he was thinking he would be one of the popular guys in school.
Even the guy who hosted the party knows almost nothing about him.
If not because he had full resources everywhere, he wondered if he would've been able to find anything about the guy at all.
That made him question why the girls wanted to know about him, he is not popular, he is not a science student, so why did they want to know about him?
What crime did he commit? Not that the guy looked like someone capable of commiting any crime after all so why?
"Dammit Jake, just spill the fucking word already!" Ryan growled which made not only Jacob but even her friends scared.
She was already on the edge of bursting so him stalling - which she's starting to feel like it's intentional - is not helping at all.
"Please Jake, we are on the edge really" Natalie said and this did not help Jacob's curiosity
"Guys please come clean and tell me, why do you want to know about this guy?" he asked the question that has been eating away his mind since he started wondering about it.
Even though he knew he asked at a very wrong time.
"Jacob, I swear I would skin you alive once I set my eyes on you. I swear you ain't escaping death trust me" Ryan threatened coming into conclusion that he was knowingly stalling, knowing that he would get on her nerves.
She had always known that he loves teasing her and getting her angry but she always overlooked it.
This time, no mercy, she's getting rid of him for good.
Mia sensed the tension on Ryan shoulders and immediately started massaging her.
She knows how quickly she gets angry and she knows the only solution is to give her a thorough massage, making sure not to miss any tough muscle.
And doing this, Ryan visibly relaxed giving Mia the exact reaction she wanted.
"Just know, if I die, you guys won't know anything about this guy because trust me, he's an hard case to break" Jacob said clearly enjoying his interactions with Ryan.
Little did he know he was this close to dying, if only he was with them.
"That would be..." Ryan started saying before Olivia cut her off, already tired of their child play.
"Jacob spill" she said in a final tone, indicating he shouldn't say anything other than what they wanted to hear.
And that tone gave him the creeps. He knew this girl well, enough to know that him saying anything other than what's expected of him might lead to something else so he did exactly as he was told... spill.
"His name is Adrian Oak, he is a third year mechanical engineering student. He's known to be easy going and also very friendly. He once has a girlfriend whose name is Mirabel and he's from a rich family in Canada." he said searching his brain for other informations while the girls waited patiently.
"And yes, he is know to be a very considerate fellow. He is said to be considerate of even a mosquito's feelings" he finalized grinning like an idiot since he knew the comparison he made is a little bit too extreme.
And with all this that he said, Olivia started to wonder if he was talking about another guy.
Not that she knows the guy or anything but he doesn't seem like what Jacob's saying.
Friendly maybe but considerate, absolutely not.
"Are you sure you're talking about the right Adrian?" she voiced her concerns.
Truly she feared that what Mia said might be the truth.
She fears that their maybe two Adrian's with the same descriptions as hers at the party
"Well yes, since there's only one Adrian at the party. The other guy who matched your description is named Timothy, so if only you are not sure about the name you gave me then you are hearing the wrong information" he said a little bit scared he worked on the wrong guy, he feared he would have to go information hunting once again.
"Okay, but just to be sure, send his picture as well as his girlfriend's" Mia said feeling relaxed that at least they crossed one hurdle successfully.
But that doesn't mean she's not scared that Olivia maybe right.
What if he's talking about the wrong guy? Mistakes could happen, what if the Adrian they were looking for crashed that party? What if he covered his tracks? Not that he needed to but she just had to think it.
What if he's a criminal who just wanted to have fun that day and then decided to lie to Olivia about his identity and his girlfriend problem just to get her in bed?
She knows those thoughts are as absurd as anything but she just couldn't help thinking about it.
But she knows she dare not speak her thoughts out for she might end up getting herself killed.
"Okay I will, but then the girlfriend..." Jacob started saying before Ryan cut him off
"Would about her?" she questioned hastily knowing he's about to say something that would delay her sleep.
"Would you at least allow me to finish the sentence I started?" he said feeling a little bit irritated
"Then do!" she barked her reply while Jacob just rolled his eyes.
He would have given a smart reply but he felt somehow knowing they wouldn't really listen since he's on the other end of the phone.
"I didn't you guys would need her info so I didn't bother with her" he said hoping they wouldn't pressure him into looking for her info
"So?" Natalie said yawning
"So I can't send her picture now" he said already guessing there's no use for hoping since it's no use, they would surely make him search.
"It's okay, just send Adrian's picture for now but make sure you go dig into the ex-girlfriend's info and send them along with her picture later." Mia said ready to drop the call and at the same time voicing his fear
"And please make sure you text it, do not call okay" Natalie said before dropping the call.
Hearing everything everyone has to say, she felt satisfied knowing that they can now move onto their next plan and she can also get the sleep she wanted.
And knowing that Jacob wouldn't be sending the pictures until later, Olivia and the rest also prepared to sleep.
But out of all the infos Jacob told them, what surprised Olivia the most was that Adrian's a third year student.
She could have swore he's a second year student with the way he looked.
But that doesn't matter, what matter most is that they were getting even.
