We got home happy and in a better mood than earlier in the mall.
"Lisbeth, thanks" Becca said when were still in the car.
"For?"
"Being the best sister in the world. I love you so much. Thanks for fighting garlic head for me"
"Aww my mouth is filled with sugar. I will always be here for you plus Lincoln kinda told me to beat her up"
"Linc? how did...?"
"We were video chatting when we heard the commotion so... I'm still surprised that that girl is still alive and I can't believe she actually had the mind to touch you. She probably thought you were me"
"Garlic head? still alive?" mom asked glancing at me through the rear mirror.
"Remember that girl that drenched me in smoothie?"
"Of course 'smoothied' made the Hawaiian social media headline for weeks"
I rolled my eyes when I remembered the nickname I bore last year.
"Well I took a little revenge"
"Little revenge? your revenge is never little. Fill me in on the deets" Bec and I looked at each other before laughing like mad people.
"I'll tell you when we get home" I thought mom will let it slide but she bought some sushi on our way home, "okay Lisbeth time for my story" she brought out her chopsticks and gestured for me to start. I smiled before I recounted what happened last year.
LAST YEAR
"I think you and Carter will look great together" I said to Sharon. We were taking a walk around the beach, S, Bec and I. We were on holiday in Hawaii.
Our moms who were co-founders of Marriage and more... came to check on the branch here. The Millers, Pierres and Wilsons moms were the founders of Marriage and more...
Remember when I said Linc and I were neighbors of seven years even though I moved to Brooksville four years ago. When we moved to Brooksville the Pierres and Wilsons did too because they wanted to share the responsibility of starting a new branch together.
Our parents were college friends so thus we the kids grew up together. Linc would have also joined us for this holiday if he wasn't in another town with his dad. His parents aren't separated, our dads are business men who are co-founders of Mipisons technologies. Mipisons short for Millers, Pierre and Wilsons.
Our dads had this dream to create a tech that is like a personal assistant in form of an Android. it's like Google assistant only in human form. Most of the big time industries invested in the company so it became an international venture.
My dad was late so it was only Mr Wilson and Mr Pierre who run the company but after dad died they split his shares into two and gave them to Bec and I.
I hate it when I space out.
"I don't like him like that" S said.
Bec smiled and said, "really? when you were drooling over his pic a few minutes ago you're such a liar"
I laughed before waving the video of Sharon drooling in front of her, "liar liar pants on fire"
"Gimme that phone" she tried to reach for the phone and before long she was chasing Becca and I around the beach. I threw the phone to Bec and she caught it. She ran towards the water.
I followed her and splashed some water on S so she would slow down. We started splashing each other water Bec ran out of the water and videoed us while laughing.
Arrrgghh...
A deafening scream stopped our play. We turned to see that a girl holding a smoothie had been splashed with water. We immediately came out.
"We are so sorry, we didn't mean to. It was an accident" Sharon said.
"Yeah we didn't see you there. We are so–" I was cut off when I felt the cold smoothie running down from my head to my flowery dress. I didn't mind the dress it already got wet from playing with water but my hair. My perfect hair I had spent a full hour blow drying and curling.
I wiped the strawberry juice from my face.
"Oh sorry I didn't see you there" the girl said with a smirk on her face.
"We apologized you didn't have to be a–"
"It's okay, we erred first. It's alright" I interrupted Sharon.
"Good thing you know your place" she said before storming off.
"I need help with my hair" they tried to shield me from the people who were taking pictures but somehow when we watched the news I made the headline and I looked like a mess.
"I have a feeling that girl has something to do with this" Sharon said drying my hair with a towel.
"Let's let it slide S okay? we are here to have fun"
"I agree with my stunt double Sharon that we should just ignore her"
"who are you calling your stunt double grey haired wannabe witch"
"did you just call me a...?" Becca snatched a throw pillow from the couch, "you're so dead"
"you have to catch me to kill me" I said running outside. I hid behind one of the private huts beside ours hoping that she doesn't catch me.
"What are you doing?" a voice said behind me making me flinch. I spun to see a pretty girl around my age. She wore a bra and shorts. My kind of beach wear. Dirty blonde hair in a half bun. Her eyes however were all the colors of a rainbow.
OMG
"You're a Mipisons tech"
"Yes" she said scanning me, "Lisbeth Athena Millers, daughter of one of the co-founders of Mipisons technologies, 15, single–"
"I know myself" I said cutting her off I didn't need an Android telling me my relationship status.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. Your father was a good man"
"You met him?" I asked her I didn't feel comfortable calling her it.
"No I was created yesterday but I have a way of getting information" she said with heavy sarcasm.
"I have a feeling that we'll be good friends"
"You want to be my friend?"
"Of course what's your name?"
"Jamie, that's what I call myself I have no surname as of yet". She said in a low tone "my owner isn't very nice. She calls me whatever she wants sometimes poop"
"Jamie is a beautiful name it suits you"
"Thanks" she said and bowed her head a little. Modesty, another reason to like her.
"And as of today your surname is Millers, welcome to the family"
"Really?" she hugged me more like crushing my bones.
"Of course my dad and his friends made you so technically you are family to me" I managed to squeak.
"Umm, Jamie?"
"Yeah?"
"I can't breathe you're hugging too tight"
"Sorry" she said releasing me, "still trying to get a hang of... everything" she said with a nervous chuckle.
