"D! Where are you?"
"I'm on my way!"
"Really? Can't you make take a bath fast?"
"Excuse me? You imitate me with you always being late".
" I text you. Alright".
"After decades you came ! You're late!"
"Just five minutes! It was only 2:05 and I was embarrassed by your 30 minutes late !"
"What now? Are we going to counts my laziness? I said exactly 2; 00 pm sharp you should be here!"
"Whatever let's go inside, it's kinda hot in here".
"Feel at home eh? Shameless prick".
"Eh yeah, so hot in here , are we will still talking here?".
She rolled here eyes and followed me walking inside their house, as if she was a guest.
"Mom! This is D my friend! remember her?"
"Yeah why not, you always talking about her, she is slowpoke and stupid".
"You told that to your mommy t? I can't believe her".
"What? Am I right, you always can't cope up with my sarcastic joke and you are stupid"
"Wow! thanks for compliment, I appreciate it. You stagy woman".
"Welcome"
I rolled my on her.
We interrupt because of her mommy's laughter. I thought she would be angry because I just insulted her daughter and I even shouted her inside their house.
"Now I know why my daughter likes you Danessa!"
"Sorry maam but I dont like your child!".
"Ewww! I am not a lesbian D!"
"You know your so pretty ma'am.You just look like Jassie's sister!"
Ignoring Jassie presence.
"Really! Thankyou! That's why Jassie should be thankful because we are born beautiful".
"Ha? I wonder where Jassie get her attitude and not so good looking face?"
"Haler! Am I here for your information?"
"Jassie you here?" I said acting like she is not here.
"Oops! We did not notice you daughter".
"Oh my mom! Come on D" of course she dragged me again.
I know we are going to her room, she keeps telling me that she has paintings made by herself.
"Is this yours? You painted, nice".
There are two women talking and then there is a little something behind them, I don't know what it means I am weak in the arts.
"Aha! Thankyou for appreciating my paint"
"I wonder why you are not participating in the school contest?"
"Jassie is Jassie they just know me because I am pretty they always say that I am just beautiful but I have no talent!"
"I don't believe it! you have hidden talent you just have to show it!"
"I don't have guts! Not easy to do!"
"It's for you to decide but what a waste of talent.
By the way where is your kitchen? Im so hungry!"
"Did you really just come here for food?"
"It's kinda! Of course this party what do you want me to do?"
"Alright lets go!"
"Jackpot so many foods! Get me some ice cream ha!"
"Hungry that much? Why you can't get it for yourself?"
"Am I a guest? Serve me, you invited me remember?"
"Okay fine later let's it first!"
"You really can't decline me, right? Jassie I thought family reniun where are the other?"
"Actually the start of the party is 7 pm . I just invited you now, because I know you have class tomorrow".
"Yeah! I have a remedial quiz tomorrow I failed last time!"
"Aren't you not studying? What if you can't graduate?"
" Eh I did, but I forgot about the quiz!"
"You should listen to discussion. I caught you texting on your phone while having class?"
"Luhh? You saw me".
"Yeah! So study hard or else I will tweak your hair".
"Why are you so angry?"
"No! but I'm concern".
"Thanks for the concern but can you get me some ice cream first?"
She obliged to get me ice cream.
"Danessa right? "Jassie's dad.
I will confess today because I think of Jassie's daddy is fucking handsome.
"Yes sir".
"Just call me Uncle Jasper! Enjoying the foods?"
"Yes, it's pretty good".
"That's good! I want to thank you because you came to my daughter's life. Jassie is stagy as you know. Artistic talk, dress and everything that's why no one wants to be friends with her".
"It'ss fine, and I should be thankful that Jassie came she saved me".
"I'm just happy for her. You know no one can compare how a parent feels when they see their child happiness".
"Actually Uncle, I can't relate want you are talking about because I single and I don't have daughter, but I know what you meant".
He laughed so hard, my gosh a fucking handsome.
"My daughter's dream was to have a true friend.I know she envies her classmates who have always friends coming on their house. Actually she is very simple if they just know her, but more on making friends with her they easily judge her, so thankyou for keeping may daughter happy. Enjoy the foods Danessa and feel at home".
I watch uncle Jasper and realize one thing. Maybe for some person money and luxurious things are not the pleasure for some people.
Other needs companion like friend, friend that you can trust at the same time he / she trust you.
"Are you going home?"
"Remember I have a remedial quiz tomorrow I have to review".
"I forgot! Wait me here I will just say goodbye to mom".
But you know what she did? She did not enter the house and shouted outside the gate.
"Mom! Dad! I will take D out of the subdivision".
This witch's attitude really annoying.
I was able to say goodbye to her mom and dad earlier.
"Your lazy".
" I can shout what I want to say, why bother going inside?"
Her undying reasons again.
"I can go home alone,okay".
"No! I want to make sure you are safe on your way home"
"How about you?"
"I can call my dad to fetch me outside! By the way have you received my package?"
"Ha? What package?"
"Don begged me to give you five umbrellas so I just delivered!"
"Wow rich girl! Why don't you just give it to me now?"
"I enjoyed the delivery boy here in the subdivision, he's cute".
"Maybe the landlady of the apartment recieve the package, so he was serious giving me umbrella. Weird.
"Here we go, there were shortcut here".
"Are you sure? last time we got lost! Jassie acceptthe fact your suck first when it comes to direction".
"You can change it, this this is my territory!"
"Fine! Fine! Be my guess!"
I told her to walk first to lead the way in the dark.
"D! you think we've been through this before?" she asked me. I knew it.
"Why are asking me? What happened to your line change it this is my territory?"
I imitate her.
"I think we are lost!"
"What I think? I'm pretty sure were lost".
"Sorry, okay. Wait I will call someone to pick us up here!"
"Jasie" I said while pulling the hem of her dress.
"Will you stop calling pulling my dress!"
"I think we need to run now!"
"Why would I?"
"I bet you will run after what you see at your back!"
"Oh my gosh what tht dog doing here? What we do?"
We stare at each other and start to run like we are in a marathon.
Fortunately, the dog ran slowly because of his chain.
"This is your fault!"
"What? Why me? Who keep insisting her shortcut ways?"
"No is not that!"
I stop for a while and lookt her. Like me he also stopped and we forget about the dog.
"You look like a bone that's why we are being chased".
"Eh? I'm sexy, your look like bone here".
"What am I?"
"You can! We can sask the dog- huma-
"Run!" We both say and run again.
After a long run we lost the dog. I literally can't breathe after.
"I can't breath".
"Stay still and wait until your heartbeat returns to normal! I call my cousins to fetch us here".
A moment later there were loud noise coming from cars. Yes cars. I count, wow ten cars!
"Relax! They are my cousin!"
You can't blame what if they are syndicate who used to get internal organs? okay I was overreacting.
"Jassie are you okay?"
"Your friend is she okay?"
They are all worried. I smiled how I wish my cousins and I were also close.
"Were fine. I have favor can we accompany her ? This is a long day and I can't let her go home on her own".
"Of course! Let's just go guys, convoy!"
We are all silent inside, it doesn't matter, were three inside the car, the driver Jassi's cousin and the two of us. I'm tired so I don't have energy talking to someone
"What? You have no intention of going down?
Maybe you just want me to push you! I already open the door but it still yo are not going out".
"Sorry okay, I do not know".
But she already pushed me out of the car.
I even heard his cousins laugh!
"Why did you push me?"
"You're too slow, you can beat the turtle!"
Before I could beat her I saw Don tweaking Jassie. Remember last time at the gym? That what he was actually doing right now!
"What Don! Leave my hair!"
"Why did you push her?".
"It's her fault, she's to slow".
"I don't care, you'd should not push her".
" Don ouch! It's hurt".
And guess what? Jassie also grab Don's hair. The result is the two of them tweaking each other's hair.
"Film a video two of them faster!"
They videotaped the two instead of stopping the two. They are the family of lunatics I guess.
"Stop! I'm going inside!"
I told the two but they didn't seem to hear me.
"Jassie you hurting me!"
Don threatens.
"Let go my hair first!"
"Let's release our hair together?"
"Okay go ahead! In three counts! 1, 2, 3?"
"See? You cheater Don".
"Let them, I'm sorry about that, Jassies' cousin said to me.
Maybe Don was in one of the cars earlier that's why he is here.
"Ah it's okay, thankyou"
"It's okay sweetie!"
"You take care of the two!".
Pointing the two Jassie and Don.
I entered inside the gate of the apartment but before I could enter my unit I heard Jassie shouting from outside .
"Danessa! Out!".
"What is your problem?"
"Why didn't you say goodbye to me?"
This time I roll eyes on her.
I said goodbye a few times but they were both busy with each other's hair.
"I said goodbye earlier you just ignored me".
"Aw! Sorry about that. My cousin just worried".
"Ha? What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, get rest and good luck to your remedial quiz".
"Thanks".
"Good night D!"
"Good Night Jassie, be careful going home".
"Say good night to my cousin".
"Daness! Do you already know what is the meaning of the numbers I gave you?"
"I forgot! Sorry!"
" Why did you have to use the code?"
"You don't care"
"You two will fight again. I'm going inside, it's getting late.
I leave them outside.
"You know what Jassie ugly, stop meddling my ways".
"I'm beautiful that's my mom says"
"Get rid of it, auntie is liar"
"At least I am not coward like you.
My God, Don! The whole family knows about Danessa but still she is not your girlfriend. What is that? You already introduce her to whole family yet she doesn't even have an idea about your feelings.
Stop being coy Don, tell her that you love her. It's not about the act and teasing her sometimes you need to tell for assurance".
"I think she needs time, it's just I can't".
"You really stupid, why you are watching stealing her away from you? Get up, have some fight, where is your ball?"
He glared at me.
"What did you say?"
"Maybe I should run".
I run faster inside the car and lock it. I saw Don kicking the car. Don is pissed.
"You woman, no boobs flat chested".
I open the window said this to him.
" Whatever Don, I'm still sexy, but let me give piece of advice, don't lose the woman you love without a fight, it's not Mostalla. Mostalla is Mostalla, there is no fight you can't win".
I closed the window, he was saying something but I can't hear it.
"Maybe now, I should learn how to lose without even trying to fight".
