THE ALPHA’S WORTHLESS LUNA

"Hey Mobo, is this outfit okay or should I change it?Ria said with her eyes widening and eargerly waiting for a good reply this time after changing many outfits.. She clicked her phone screen, typing seriously and smiling. She slowly stood up and took a picture of herself, then slowly sat down, clicking her screen and smiling. “Absolutely not, I know people are going to stare,” the voice of the AI (Mobo) spoke through her phone. The easy look on her face dissappeared instantly,Ria frowned her face as she stood up and walked straight to her wardrobe again, scattering it as she brought out a white gown outfit. She looked at it for some time and smiled as she rushed back to the seat. “You know what, Mobo? I will snap this particular one first before I wear it, and then you tell me how you see it, agree? Ria spoke this time after deciding not to type with her hand. Mobo was silent for a bit, as if trying to rephrase what she said. “Ria,” Mobo’s voice came gently. “Wear the outfit, and I will decide for you whether to wear it or not.” Ria sank tiredly into the seat with frustration showing on her face. She quickly slammed her phone on the desk heavily and jumped up. “Mobo!! Ria screamed “You are frustrating me and this time I will go out with this particular outfit you rejected! Mobo, today is my 18th birthday and you can’t keep spoiling things for me! I am an adult and thanks for being a wonderful AI and friend all this time, but I think it's enough! She stopped immediately and everywhere was silent as her heart beat heavily and she waited standing still at same spot, as if waiting for something to happen. Ria gently turned back to her phone. She twitched her lips slowly and walked to her phone, which she had slammed on the desk. She picked it up and looked at the screen. Her eyes flew open as her lips fell open with a quiet gasp.. “Mobo! Ria whispered. “Where did you go? How… how did you suddenly delete?Ria said as disbelief flashed hot and quick through her expression She blinked quickly trying to stop the tears gathering in her eyes,as tiny tears slipped down her face. She gripped the phone closely to her chest. “Hey Ria, next time don’t scream at Mobo.” The voice came again from her phone as she twitched her lips and turned her phone to her face. The screen flickered on her face as she let out a tiny smile and breathe in heavily.. “Mobo, if that’s a prank, please don’t I….” “Ria! A voice came from outside as Ria gently dropped her phone and walked to the door. “Mummy! I am almost ready, hold on! “Ria, remember no late coming tonight. You have to leave quickly.” Ria didn’t reply this time as she pulled up the thread of her glass shoes. She held the strap of her dress up on her shoulder and smiled at herself as she turned around in the mirror. “Ria, are you surely going out with…” Ria quickly pressed her phone and stopped the voice from the phone, still holding it and laughing. “You're just an AI, Mobo; your job is done for now.” She smiled and gently laid the phone back in her tiny purse. “Hey Ria, what kept you so long? The bonfire has already begun, you know,” Mira said immediately as she set her eyes on Ria. “Guess what,” Ria said as she quickly held Mira’s hands, dragging her to the wine colored Corolla already opened. “Dan is about to ask me out Mira,” Ria said smiling. Mira flew her mouth open as Ria pulled her into the car smiling, Soon the car pulled away. Mira fixed her gaze on Ria throughout the ride. Getting to the place,the whole place was already filled up as tiny fire flames flickered around. Ria came down looking around with a tiny smile on her face as Mira turned to her and hugged her tightly. She released the hug gently. “Happy 18th birthday Ria! Tell me, how do you see it here? You like it? I made sure to arrange everything before you came.” Ria looked around smiling as she walked closer to the bonfire. A girl stood up holding a glass of wine with some stains of oil on her mouth. She held her glass tightly smiling heavily, as she rushed over and hugged Ria. Ria didn’t respond immediately but quietly hugged her back. “Ria! You are all grown you know. No more baby baby s**t,” she said smiling. “Boyfriend yet? Or still stuck with mummy? “Serene,” Ria said with a calm voice. “I think we should just concentrate on why we are here and…” “Oh Ria, you always avoid some necessary questions and I….” “Dan! Ria suddenly spoke. “Just ask me go on,You want to know if I accepted Dan yet,huh? “Oh come off it Ria, I didn’t mean….” “You were about to, Serene.” “Hey Ria, Serene, enough of the madness now, okay? Let’s go to why we are here. Happy birthday! It’s already 12:00.” “Happy birthday to you…” Suddenly, her phone started singing out loud. Ria startled and immediately held her balance as she gently pulled her phone up from her purse. She held it with vibrating hands as the phone kept singing. She gently twitched her mouth as a surprising smile came to her lips. “Hey,” Mira said, looking shocked at her. “What’s that? Ria held the phone to her chest after hearing Mira’s voice. “It’s the AI, Mobo, I downloaded for a while now, wishing me a happy birthday.” Mira turned to Serene as they looked at each other, shocked. “AI? Serene said looking at Ria, but Ria held the phone tight. “Happy birthday, Ria.” A voice spoke suddenly, catching them short. They turned quickly and trembled. A tall guy stepped closer slowly, adjusting the sleeve of his black shirt before lifting his head and smiling at Ria. There was something annoyingly attractive about him, he had broad shoulders and a sharp jawline, and dark hair falling across his forehead. Ria admired him slowly as she looked up quickly at him, forcing a smile onto her face. “Hi,” she said with a trembling voice, her heart racing uncontrollably. “My name is… Michael,” he said with a pause and then continued, “You might not know me, but I do. Happy birthday, Ria.” He brought out a package and handed it to her. He quickly turned and entered a sports car stopped above them. His posture and the way he walked was like he went to a school to learn posture. The car sped off, leaving his heavy and sweet fragrance behind. “Oh holy s**t! Serene screamed as she dropped the glass in her hand and it fell heavily on the floor, scattering around. She quickly turned to Ria. “Who was that? Ria! She held her hand heavily, but Ria’s mind was gone. She still clutched the gift and she gently unwrapped the pink cellophane used to wrap it. Her hand trembled immediately as she dropped the gift heavily on the ground, trembling. “Ria! Mira called as she picked up the gift. She brought out a customized diamond necklace with a name, “Golden Girl,” written on it. Serene flew her mouth open as she grabbed it from Mira. “Holy Moses! she screamed, holding it. “Ria, this cost a whole lot of cents! Who the f**k is that nigga, Ria? Ria was still shocked as she took the gift from her, her heart still pounding. “Mira,” Ria said, turning to Mira. “I… I have always wanted this, exactly like this. Customized with… with my nick, Golden Girl, and wrapped in pink, also on my birthday. I… I never told anybody,” she stammered. “I only had it on my mind.” Mira turned to Ria gently as she held her hand slowly. “You didn’t tell anybody? Ria thought for a while. “Just… just my AI! Mobo.”
