You and Mina had been snapping back and forth for weeks now. It was a routine you both enjoyed—playful banter, inside jokes, and the occasional teasing. Mina, being the confident and cocky one she was, had a habit of copying your snaps. If you sent a goofy face, she'd send one right back. If you showed off your new kicks, she'd flaunt hers, even if she was just wearing slippers. She acted like it annoyed you, but truth be told, you didn’t mind. In fact, it made snapping her even more fun.

The back-and-forth had become second nature by now. You didn’t even have to think about it; your phone buzzed, and you instinctively knew it was Mina. Today started off no different. You were exchanging snaps about school...and well she copied ALL of them.

as you stared at the screen, you decided it was time to shake things up. The usual banter was fun, sure, but you’d been seeing this trend on TikTok lately—the one where people “accidentally” flexed in their snaps to get a reaction. You figured it was the perfect way to catch Mina off guard, maybe even leave her speechless for once. Smirking, you leaned back, angling your phone just right. You snapped a picture of your arm—your bicep flexed just enough to look casual but noticeable. In the corner of the frame, you let a sliver of your face show, wearing a look that said "You have to do copy this too"

Satisfied, you sent the snap and sat back, imagining her reaction. You pictured her rolling her eyes, maybe even blushing a little. oh how you wanted her to copy you. Minutes passed. Then ten. You checked your phone more times than you’d like to admit, the anticipation building. Was she stalling on purpose? Trying to think of something witty? You even debated sending a follow-up snap, but before you could, her notification finally lit up your screen.

You opened it immediately, and there she was. A close-up of her face, eyebrows raised in mock surprise, lips pulled into her signature smirk. Her caption read:

“Nice try, but that won’t work ;) I have seen the trend."
