PART SIX

MASTERLIST

2022

It was Saturday, Saturday morning.

Near eight-thirty five, Saurday morning.

Y/n had been woken up by clattering outside. She'd found out that the block of apartments across from her's where going to be having work done on their roof starting tomorrow, today they where just putting the scaffolding up.

She didn't live anywhere too fancy, it was a nice neighbourhood of run down 80s council estate flats which had been bought by a developer a decade back and refurbished.

She moved out of her dad's house when she was seventeen, moved into this place on her £500 a month sallary from small modeling jobs.

At first she had lived there with Lennon. They split the costs, it made it more managable to pay for the overpriced London housing. But when they both became more well known to more inclusive brands, Lennon moved out. They where going to both moved out, each get a apartment near each other in a better part of the city, but y/n had already made a home there.

Plus, it wasn't a bad flat and it was only her living there, so it wasn't as though she was running out of space or squashed.

It was too chilly of a morning to be walking about in the thin, satin pyjamas, so y/n had immediatly grabbed one of the hoodies off of her floor and searched the depths of her sock draw for some of her hiking socks, from when Gene went on a fitness spree and made them all climb up Snowdon in the October weather.

When she came to think about it, she didn't actually hate that day, like she always told Gene. Sure, she started her period early and had to climb the sheep infested rock whilst she was pratically dying from cramps, and they had to get the train back down because Thalia had an asthma attack when they reached the halfway point, and Lennon was hungover and nearly fell of the side of the mountain. All in all, it was a total shipwreck of a day out, but it was a little bit fun. Not that she'd ever admit that to Gene.

Her mind paused as she felt herself laugh a little. Why was she suddenly remenising everything ?!

She pulled the hoodie, which happened to be another one of Gene's which he had 'borrowed', this one was from a night out when her dress was refusing to protect her from the cold.

"Alexa, play 2000s indie rock." "Playing station, noughties indie rock."

She muttered a thanks to the machine before rolling the socks up to slide them on, and once they where on, throwing her folded pyjama bottoms back straight.

When she realised she wouldn't be able to hear the dot in her bedroom, she stopped it.

The model catwalk strolled through the open doors to her kitchen to find a bottle of the smoothie Gene had totally butchered the day before. She wasn't one for throwing away perfectly good food and drink.

"Alex, wait no, Echo connect to Y/f/n's iphone" "Searching... Connecting to Y/f/n's iphone... Connected."

"Merci Beaucoup."

As she scrolled and tapped her phone to find her favourate Spotify playlist, the one filled with breakup songs which was hidden under the concerning amount of true crime, girl's beauty, general waffle and ancient history podcasts. After second thoughts, she clicked onto one of her favourate true crime podcasts and played the episode which was based on the Kray Twins, having been obsessed with the gangsta siblings since Tom Hardy played them in Legend when she was fourteen. She had already listened to it twice but always found that she would end up hearing a fact that she hadn't picked up on the first time round.

As she listened to the slightly annoying Bristol accent start talking, y/n opened up the rustic red bread bin which was sat on the worktop counter and dropped two peices of the bread her mum always freshly made for her, once her daughter left home Debbie made sure to drop by every other day 'just to drop off a loaf of bread', into the more modern designed, bright red toaster.

As her breakfast began to toast, she tapped onto her insta to see if anyone had updated their stories or pages, if they hadn't then she could always resort to some good ol' fashioned 'stalking people you went to school with to take the mick out of them'.

As y/n clicked off King Alfred's Year Eleven slag's account, a text came through from Lennon.

"Dad's for dinner 6:30 . U and gene are together still"

Gene had a hold of Y/n as they arrived back in the dining room, Molly having had left a few minutes before them so that they could act out the situation they had thought up.

Just a simple situation which would infuriate Lennon, well hopefully infuriate Lennon.

The younger man's arm rested around her waist, the metallic black fabric being slightly dissheveled.

Lennon was the first to catch sight of the 'couple' when they reappeared after their twenty minutes of dissappearing. That meant that he was the first one to catch sight of y/n's faded out lips and the slightly rose tint around his brother's mouth. The slight tint which ran a trail over his cheeks and neck.

Upon seeing the expression on her brother's face, Molly held off a smirk from her face.

Liam caught onto their presence once they had seated themselves.

The chairs had been pushed in from where they had left them so the sound of the wooden floor having something pushed along it awared the rest of the table to y/n and Gene.

"Had some fun ?"

The time had arrived.

Gene gave an annoyed side eye to where Molly sat, slightly hunched over with her hand over the bottom half of her face.

"I wish."

Y/n lightly smacked him up the side of his head, pulling him to sit down in the chair beside her.

"So, Jane" Y/n took a sip out of her crystalised glass, the lightly shaded pink liquid slipping down her throat like it had been doing all day. "Why d'you like our Lens then ?"

Jane looked over to where she was sat with large eyes, completely shook by the question. Before she could open her mouth to answer, the Taylor was already blabbing on.

Gene and Molly where holding in laughter whilst Liam pretending nothing out of the usual was happening, Debbie sat excluding herself from the conversation in hopes she wouldn't laugh too loud and Lennon glaring at his friend as she made hand gestures and almost knocked a full glass of white wine over Molly.

"Because, sure he could be considered attractive but why do you actually like him."

"Y/n/n, I think you've had enough now-"

"No it's alright babe."

The evening continued like that, y/n coming up with bizzare question which interigated Jane and annoyed Lennon. Sometimes Liam, Molly and Gene joined in whilst Debbie attempted to discourage them.

so yall know i gotta lor sis righ. well. fuck dude. those obligations from earlier. part rant part support seeking skip to the very end for that second part

context. 17 y/o not in school, homeless, lowkey estranged from her parents. father is unemployed and lying abt it, abusive and his ego is constantly reacting to his material precaritys impact on his manhood, sits at my old shop all day doing nothing. mom, actually employed, covering for dad, also used to work at my old shop before being fired for stealing a stack of cash, getting worse w her precarity and also sits at the shop a lot a lot. no idea where her lor bro sleeps. no idea how old he is too, could be 12 in an 8 year olds body for all i kno

so i pick her up at 1030, we go to the mall and check the ubreakifix type place and they dont work on iphone 8s. bet. we have a spare XR she bought off her big bro. missing sim tray, got a free replacement from the shop. go to the apple store, the XR is permalocked unless factory reset from the icloud acct tethered to the device (truly dystopian imo), schedule genius bar appt for tmrw at 11. take her back to her friends house, the one i hired a month before i left so she could have a comrade and a place to stay nearish work that isnt her moms (although they were kicked out of their motel right when i hired steven i think. so, unhappy coincidence?).

sis works then so i drop her off at work at 9 and take her phone w me. go home come back to the mall. genius at the bar says its busted, whatever. not like i been sayin that. its missing like the bottom 1/5 of the backing like straight up exposed circuitry and she leans it on its bottom edge on whatever flat surface she can find at her perpetually wet food service job. refurbished options more expensive than the cheap 'new' products, not saying much tho. deliver busted phone and info to her -- her mom and dad are there ofc -- go home. later pick her up that night (last night) and drive her to her gfs in the heights. oh also dropping steven and their mutual friend off at stevens on the way. whatever its like literally en route its actually kinda perfect every time.

apparently im picking her up this morning. Okay. oh yeah shes locked out of her paycard account. she locks the card when shes at 0 in case she gets an auto withdrawal thatll overdraft her. she got paid today so she was gonna unlock it but how did she access her acct previously? thumbprint. no password memory whatsoever. pretty fair, id say? she texted me asking for the last 4 of her SSN this morning. nobody picked up her call to the bank(?) until she called them in the car with me. the form required to change login credentials when u dont have account access required those digits and a form of photo id. no ability to access it from her ADP because the pw changed at some point but it still took her print.

reminder. shes homeless and out of school. she has a birth certificate but thats where my certainty of her documentation ends. ive run into this before where i wanted to start a real bank acct for her but they require legally viable photo id and even non driver state ids require 1. proof of permanent residence (X) and 2. proof of enrollment in school for minors (X) at the MVA.

so anyways weve kinda hit a wall with the limitations her unsupportive parents / guardians have provided! its taking up a large portion of my emotional, mental, physical, and temporal space in life right now so i wanted to make a post about it. my little bandaid desire is to at least set her up with a new phone which i estimate would be $200 minimum for actual 'verified third party vendors of used phones' but ugh i didnt budget for this.

oh the support seeking! if you know me and wanna ease the load on my sisters shoulders a but, id be grateful for some help raising funds for a new phone! ill include some $ links. if were unacquainted but youre reading this anyway and have a spare $5 wed love the support! thanks for reading :)

Personal Anecdotes: My Experience with a Refurbished iPhone

Let me share a little story with you. Last year, I decided to take the plunge and buy a refurbished iPhone X. I found a great deal on an online marketplace from a seller with fantastic reviews. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. But, when the phone arrived, it was as good as new! I've been using it for over a year now without a single glitch. My wallet thanked me, and I couldn't be happier with my decision.

In conclusion, buying a refurbished phone in Dubai isn't just about saving money. It's about making a wise, environmentally friendly choice without compromising on quality or luxury. Whether you're a tech enthusiast or just looking for a good deal, the world of refurbished phones opens up endless possibilities.

So why not give it a shot? Who knows, your dream phone might just be a few clicks (or haggles) away. Remember, the goal is to enjoy the perks of high-end technology while being smart about your finances. And in Dubai, where dreams meet reality, finding your budget-friendly luxury might just be the start of a whole new adventure.

I just made the first ever post using my Reddit account to see if anyone knows what to do about this, but it fees worth putting here to. So. He is a list of things going wrong with my computer (copy pasted directly from my Reddit post):

- “i” key doesn’t work upon restart, instead the computer makes a little noise (I assume some sort of “error” or “you can’t do that” noise. It sounds like a little “plick!” type sound.) All other keys seem to work. Only appears as I start the computer up, happening while I’m logging in, hence I can’t see what characters are being input by working keys. May relate to next issue. Requires restart to fix.

- Keyboard randomly switches to special characters only. Requires restart for long fix, can be fixed for a couple minutes by toggling sticky keys on and off. Sticky keys trick only works sometimes. May be related to “i” key not working.

- Computer turns itself back on after I put it to sleep. My mom has reported this problem with her much newer Mac computer as well, but none of the others on this list.

- Computer doesn’t fall asleep naturally despite me having screensaver set to start after 1 minute of inactivity and display to fully shut off after 2 minutes, and to require password after 5 minutes. Only happens sometimes. Seemingly random, not affected by restart.

- When clicking between various open windows, window previously being used will disappear even thought it’s still shown as open by its toolbar icon. Clicking on the finder background also triggers this. If multiple finder folder windows are open, both/all with disappear when clicked off of, as well as when the red x button is clicked on one to close it. Requires restart to fix.

- Links in browsers such as google chrome cannot be opened, instead start automatically downloading. Requires restart to fix.

- Force quit window (from finder apple icon menu at top of screen) disappears after you quit the application you were attempting to quit, even if there are other applications still open.

- When something needs to be fixed via restart, and restart is clicked through the apple icon menu, restart initiates instantly instead of showing a pop up with a 1 minute countdown, as it would if the computer were behaving normally.

Additionally:

- If I’m using my phone (iPhone SE, running on iOS 16.6.1) and I have it open using safari, an icon shows up on my toolbar for google chrome saying it’s being used through my phone. I do not have the google chrome app on my phone. If I click the icon it does however open the correct link that is open on my phone, through google chrome. I do have safari still in my computer, I don’t think it can be removed, but I DO have chrome set to my default browser, so this may be an intended function. This does not change if I restart. I’ve also only noticed this today because I was charging my phone through my computer usb while at my desk, so it may only happen while my phone is plugged in.

- Often times, I will have to restart the computer between 1-3 times back-to-back before it works without these issues occurring. The last couple days it’s been a shorter amount of time without issues between each time I have to restart.

It’s a refurbished Mac desktop running on Ventura 13.6.1 as of when I’m writing this, I updated it today after ignoring the update prompt for a little while but the issues have not changed. I believe it was originally made in 2014, but I may remember incorrectly and I can’t find the original year in the “about this Mac” section.

This has been happening for months now, but it’s gotten worse over the last couple weeks, to the point where it’s hard to use for more than 5-10 minutes at a time without having to restart.

Any ideas? Personally, I think it might just be haunted.

Best place to buy Refurbished iPhone XR

A new phone is NOT the same as a second-hand phone. Restoration phones are phones that have been returned; they may have failed or may have been sold back to the network/store to repair the handset. The telephone is then repaired and tested until it is sold back to a customer. The phone used is NOT the same that a used phone you can buy on the Facebook Marketplace from eBay or any random individual.

It has been vetoed and patched and restored to its ideal condition if there were problems.

So from which is the best place to purchase a refurbished iPhone? Right now, when you are buying renovated iPhones in the UK and US, you have some vital choices and the following are:

Amazon Renewed – 

Amazon is a lot now; from Amazon all, you can do. And now it requires iPhones that are renovated. Amazon has plenty of choices in its Renewed Program, whether you are looking for an iPhone X or an iPhone 6. Prices are also acceptable, but not as low as Gazelle. I would also like to help a local business – Amazon makes enough cash, and Gazelle has excellent rates and choices for unlocked iPhones.

SmartCellular  (Another Option for the UK ) –

Resell will be our one option right now if you've been in the UK and are searching for refurbished iPhones – including iPhone 11, iPhone 12 etc then you are at the right place. Not only these you have the options to sell your phone at good prices. Reselling also includes tablets, iPad and samsung mobile too. 

Read out the recommendation about how to sell my phone?

Gazelle: 

Gazelle is a US-led company with a dedication to iPads, Macbooks, Samsung and other retrofitted iPhones. All telephones purchased through Gazelle have been tested and have completed their 30-point process test. The best part, however? Prices – iPhones purchasing via Gazelle will save up to 40 per cent. That's why our first place to buy a refurbished iPhone XR is recommended.

Verizon – 

Verizon has some excellent deals if you're in the US and want a lot of a refurbished iPhone. The iPhone XR can be picked up for less than $250.

BackMarket: 

Backmarket, if you are based in the US. You will navigate through thousands of telephones, branded ones, unlocked others from all the most prominent technology brands. Gazelle carries Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series phones for Apple's iPhone and Samsung's. They have both regular and pro versions, iMac, MacBook and iPad.

Do refurbished iPhones look good as new ones?

The most important thing about a refurbished iPhone is for most people to think about it is not going to look OK – it will have bumps and scratches. However, that is not the case, particularly if you are paid a little more, as I always am, for a mint phone. I bought an iPhone XS Max recently via SmartCellular. I wanted a new phone. I tried to get an iPhone, and I always enjoyed the XS lineup, so I chose to pick up an Apple's 2018 flagship phone called the gold iPhone XS Max.

Conclusion :

Up to the 2020 norm, the iPhone XR is fantastic - don't be fooled. You will have a wonderful full-day life with moderate use, super quick output that is the best choice to run any current games. The iPhone XR has cameras you can't call friends, however. The cameras lose their information, and the Apple Deep Fusion technology does not come to the XR to resolve the issue. The absence of an ultra-large camera is also a boom for a high-end telephone in 2020. The front camera is also good, but it offers no best quality in terms of selfies and videos. Finally, the iPhone XR is a year old, and Apple's software support will be reduced to one year.
