Ariana (POV)
After coming home I walked to my room and I throw myself on the bed and tried to sleep but I couldn't because I felt like nausea and then I immediately got up and ran in the bathroom to puke. After vomiting, I came into my room, and my stomach aches. I think Jonah was right I should have not eaten too much lasagna. With this pain, I can't sleep and I want to drink some water. I started to go to the kitchen for some water. After drinking water I started to move into my room when I felt a hard pain in my stomach and then dad saw me holding my hand to my stomach.
"I think your stomach aches," he said and he started to search medicine.
"I think we don't have any medicine for your stomach ache, let me call for Jonah he would have" after saying he picked his phone to call and I stopped him but he didn't listen and called him.
"I know why you stopped me for calling," Dad said with a stern voice.
"Dad, then why did you call him?" I asked with a disbelief look.
"Because he has medicine" he answered and I didn't say anything because he was right. Then I headed to my room and throw myself onto the bed for the second time. After a few minutes, Jonah arrived with medicine and dad said thanks to him and said 'it's ok' Mr. Gonzales.
"I thought tomorrow we would go for your grandma but now I think we shouldn't go," Dad said with a sad tone making me feel guilty.
"Dad, don't worry about me it's just stomach ache because I ate too much, and please don't cancel your visit to my grandma and I know if I go with you there with my stomach ache she will be worried for me" I explained.
"Then what should I tell her about you that why you didn't visit her?" He asked.
"Tell her I'm busy with my studies" I answered then dad and Jonah both started laughing at me.
"Stop laughing," I said with a red face.
"You both can talk while I will go and pack some clothes and snacks for the trip," he said and left.
"I told you not to eat a lot," he said with a little smirk.
"Thank you for stating the fact," I said with a sarcastic look. Suddenly my phone started ringing and when I saw the caller ID it was Lisa. I decided to answer her call otherwise she will have my head tomorrow.
"Hello!" I tried to chirp but couldn't due to stomach ache.
"Why your voice sounds like a dying rat" I rolled my eyes at her assumptions.
"I have a stomach ache" I answered her with a pout.
"Is it because of cheeseburger that you ate?" she asked.
"No, it's not because of cheeseburger after that I had three plate lasagna" I replied.
"What?" Jonah who was sitting beside me yelled in unison along with Lisa and how could I forget that he sat beside me?
"Why you guys are shouting don't you know I am sick" I reminded them innocently which made Jonah glare at me.
"Well then tomorrow Rain and I will visit you" she announced and when I was going to reply she just hung the phone which made me glare at the phone.
"I think you always carve for food I mean who can eat that much that too all cheesy food," he said.
"I can eat whatever I want, any problem," I asked with a glare on my face.
"No I don't have any problem what you eat I'm just saying it because from next time you should eat sufficient food I mean it shouldn't be more nor it shouldn't be less for your big stomach" he explained with a shrugged.
"Ok, fine" I replied because I don't want to argue more. After having antacid I think I felt better and Jonah already left and I fell asleep.
..........
I got up late today and that lead me to miss my jogging because I am not feeling good and with lots of difficulties I decided to freshen up quickly because my father has to leave at nine o clock in the morning and now it is 8:30 am. After I did my morning routines I changed into a sweatshirt and pants. Then I headed to the hall and saw Jonah who was having breakfast and 'why the hell he is always here in my house rather than his' I asked myself. Can't he eat in his house and let me think from the first I didn't see his parents which were odd. After seeing me he greeted me and then I greeted him back. My dad came out of the kitchen and it's 15 minutes left so he had not enough time otherwise he will be late to his village.
"Aari, I prepared oat for you" he announced.
"Ok, dad but I think you have to rush because time is up"
I reminded and he just nodded his head. We headed outside of the house and the cab was waiting for Dad and then we hugged each other.
"Bye Aari and take care of yourself," Dad said with a worried expression.
"Bye dad and I will take care of myself and you take care of yourself" I assured him. Then he turned to Jonah and said.
"Take care of Aari," dad asked Jonah.
"Don't worry Mr. Gonzales she is not a kid" he said and I got angry at him.
"But she is too careless" my dad answered Jonah.
"Dad I think you will miss your bus today" I reminded him again.
"Someone doesn't want me to stay for a few minutes," he said slowly but I heard him.
"Dad!" I yelled.
"Ok-ok, I am leaving" The cab drove away and I waved
my hand in the air saying bye. When he left Jonah was entering my house.
"I think you forget this is my house" I reminded him and a smirk made into his lips.
"I know it's your house but I forgot my phone inside so, let me take it" he replied and I just nodded my head. After taking his phone he just told me to eat my breakfast and then he left and I felt free. I walked into the kitchen and started to eat the oat which my Dad made. After having breakfast someone rang the doorbell and before heading there I picked up the bowl and kept it in the dishwasher. I went through the thinking who could it be and when I opened it, it was Rain and Lisa and then I remember our conversation making me facepalm myself. She said she will be visiting me today and they were also carrying grocery bags.
"Hii!!" I greeted them and they greeted me back.
"Why do you guys have grocery bags with you?" I voice my thought
"Fruits for you" Rain replied.
"Thank you I'm not that ill" I assured them.
"We know but still we want you to have fruit and
vegetables from now on" it was again Rain.
"Aari, you didn't call us inside" Lisa reminded me.
"Yeah, I forgot sorry now come in" I apologized while inviting them. After entering I headed inside the kitchen to see if there is something for a snack and then I found chips and orange juice. I took them out and I walked again to the hall and they were seeing something on the phone.
"What are you guys seeing?" I interrupted them.
"Nothing important it's just our school page and someone kept the post saying someone has transferred to our school," Lisa told me.
"Again someone transferred to our school," I asked and they nodded their head saying yes.
"Let's have a snack" I announced which made them grin from ear to ear. While having snacks and watching TV serials Lisa interrupts saying.
"Aari, Do you remember last year you just sat in my birthday party without doing anything I just want you to dance this year because you said you know very well dancing but I never saw your dancing so, this year you should dance for me," she asked me and my jaw drop because at that time I just lied to her saying I know dancing very well and I don't want attention to my dancing that's why I don't dance but the truth is I don't know how to dance.
"N..." I was saying that I lied but she again interrupted.
"Don't say No because I never saw your dance and this time you don't give any excuses" she said warningly making me gulp down.
"But on one condition," I told her and in return, I receive confused expression.
"Yes sure," she replied.
"I want to dance to the song 'Million Ways by hrvy' I said her.
"Ok sure but why do you want to only dance with that song?" she asked.
"Because it's one of my favorite songs "I replied with a grin. After watching TV serial they decided to leave after they left I walked out on the lawn and sat on the swing.
After thinking so much that what should I do at her birthday party then I decided to learn dance from my own then I removed my phone from the pocket and played the song 'Million Ways' by Hrvy.

Jonah(POV)
Before 15:00
After taking my phone I left her house and went to my house. After heading to my house I decided to play the piano because I love to play piano after playing for half an hour I decided to study so I went into my room. After entering the room I took out a history book and started studying the history of Russia. After studying I decided to do mathematics and after hours I got bored so I decided to take a warm shower. After showering I wore jeans with a black shirt and I went to the balcony to have fresh air.
At 15:00
I entered into the balcony I saw Ariana doing something. I know her lawn is quite good for not seeing outside people but I am on the second floor and I could easily see her doing something like up and down jumping like a frog. I decided to go to her lawn because I wanted to ask what the matter is and his dad asked me to take care of her so I went there. After reaching her lawn, she saw me and she came towards me.
"What the hell are you doing here?" she yelled at me.
"I saw you from my balcony and I thought there's something problem with you so I came here to help you" I replied.
"Teach me how to dance then," she asked me while folding her hands across her chest.
"Why do you want to learn to dance?" I asked her in curiosity.
"Because its Lisa's birthday and she wants me to dance at her birthday party" she replied.
"But if you don't know dance why she is forcing you to dance?" I asked again which irritates her more.
"Oh my God, you have so many questions let me explain to you everything," she said.
"It will be better if you explained to me," I said to her. She started explaining everything from starting to the end and I think I can teach her.
"Ok, then I will teach you but don't lie again to anyone," I told her.
"Ok now teach me" she replied with a huff.
She started the song 'Million Ways' We stood facing each other. I held her right hand in mine and took her other hand in mine and placed it on my shoulder, after that, I kept my free hand on her waist. We started to sway but she didn't get it and that ends up her foot on mine, I release a sigh, and again we continue. I also said her to keep her back straight. She was always looking down so I also said her to look onto my eyes and she did.
I'm not gonna say goodbye
'Cause I'm gonna change your mind
Let me love you, let me love you all-day
I got a milly, got a million ways
I'm not gonna give you up
I got you, I swear to God
Let me love you, let me love you all-day
I got a milly, got a milly, got a million ways (wow oh oh)
Got a milly, got a milly, got a million
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Got a milly, got a milly, got a million
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
After practicing two hours we decided to take a break and now she is doing quite well.
"Thank you for teaching me," she said.
"It's ok but I'm hungry" I replied.
"Let's cook instant noodles then" she suggested and I nodded. We went to the kitchen and she kept the water for boiling in the saucepan.
"Help me in cutting these vegetables," she asked me.
"Uhh, I don't know how to cook or cut vegetables," I said with full of honesty.
"At least you are not perfect in something," she said with a smile.
"Are you praising me or insulting me?" I asked jokingly.
"Both" she replied, we smile at each other. After making instant noodles we sat on a chair to eat. When I tasted it was delicious and I thought to appreciate her.
"It's delicious" I complimented her.
"I thought you won't appreciate it," she told.
"I appreciate everyone who does good work so why won't I appreciate you" I replied to her but she didn't tell anything maybe she doesn't have any words to say. After having instant noodles I went to my house and got into a deep sleep.
