"So, Annie what do you think?" asked Maddie
"What do I think about what?" asked Annie as she was not paying attention to what Maddie and Matt were saying.
"Annie where is your head?" asked Maddie as she laughed.
"In the clouds, unlike you two that are stuck on the ground" said Annie as she made a quick comeback.
"Oooh good one Annie, good one" said Maddie as she looked proud.
"You have learnt well" she said like a teacher who has trained her student.
"Hey Matt, it seems that our little Annie has learnt to be mean" said Maddie as she turned to look at Matt.
"Again with this little thing" said Annie as she sighed and face-palmed.
"It seems so" said Matt as he laughed.
"Anyway, I was asking what you thought of me cutting my hair short" said Maddie
"I feel like cutting my hair short" said Maddie
"Ahhh okay" said Annie
"Well I don't want you to cut your hair short, I mean it's long and healthy, and you do look good with long hair" said Annie as she smiled, which made Maddie smile.
"And what does Matt think?" asked Annie as she turned to look at Matt.
"The same as you" said Matt as he smiled, and Annie smiled too.
"You guys are both the same" said Maddie as she laughed.
"Haha" said Annie as she laughed.
"But if you still want to cut your hair, we won't stop you, right Matt?" asked Annie as she looked at Matt.
"Right" said Matt as he agreed.
"But anyway, Awww, you both are so sweet" said Maddie, believe it or not, this was the first time that she had received genuine compliments, it made her smile, that she had such sweet and supportive friends.
"But you both are right, I will not cut my hair" said Maddie
"What was with the sudden interest with cutting your hair?" asked Annie as she laughed.
"Well it's nothing really, I was just curious on how I would look with short hair, since I have had long hair all my life" said Maddie as she laughed.
"Oooh that is true" said Annie as she laughed.
"You know what, all this talk about long hair, has made me finally decide to grow out my hair" said Matt, and then silence reigned between them all.
"You must be joking right??" asked Maddie as she snapped out of her shock.
"No I am very serious" said Matt seriously
"Mattt Nooo, Nooo" said Maddie as she shook her head.
"Maddie what's the big deal??" asked Matt as he was sure that Maddie was overeacting.
"No it is a big deal, you cannot have long hair" said Maddie as she was sure it would ruin Matt's handsomeness.
"No it isn't, Annie what do you think?" asked Matt as he looked at Annie.
"Ahh Umm, I have to agree with Maddie on this one" said Annie as she shook her head.
"I cannot imagine you with long hair, it just does not suit you, I like your short curled hair better" said Annie as she smiled.
"Exactly!! Annie Exactly!!" said Maddie as Annie took the words right out of her mouth.
"Hahaha well okay, I just wanted to see your reaction, it was a joke" said Matt as he laughed.
"Oh Thank the heavens" said Maddie as she sighed in relief, which made Matt laugh even more, their reactions were just priceless.
"Haha" said Annie as she laughed.
"What is so funny??" asked Mr. Grey as he entered the cafeteria.
"Oh my, not again" said Matt internally to himself, he was seriously devastated, he only wanted to live in peace, but now Annie's father was here to scare him to death, with his stares and double meaning words.
"Hahahha" laughed Maddie as she saw the scared look on Matt's face, it was just too funny.
"Hi Dad, Hi Uncle Luke" said Annie as she smile
"Hi Uncle John, Hi Uncle Luke" said Maddie as she greeted John and Lucas who had just entered the room.
"Hi dad" said Matt as relief washed over his face, at least his dad was here to help him.
"Hello Mr. Grey" said Matt as he was sure that he would never get the privilege of calling John Uncle.
"Hello girls, Matt" said Lucas as he smiled and sat down.
"Hello Maddie, hello Annie" said John as he smiled at the both off them.
"Matt" said John as he smile on his face instantly faded, here we go again, thought Matt to himself.
John had not even been in the room for more than a minute and he was already giving Matt the stink eye, Matt was sure that for as long as he lived, he would never get John to like him, and the main problem was that he didn't even know why.
"So what was making you all laugh so much?" asked John as he sat down next to Lucas
"Ahh Uncle, we were laughing because Matt joked with growing long hair" said Maddie as she laughed.
"Oh is that so now?" asked Lucas as he looked at his son and then at Annie.
"Oh my, again" said Annie to herself as she sighed, Lucas was also back with his stares that made her so uncomfortable.
It was actually funny considering that both their dads made the both of them feel uncomfortable, they both had the same problem, and it made Maddie who was quietly watching from the sidelines to laugh.
She had no intention of rescuing anyone, she just wanted to sit, and enjoy the drama unfolding before her, it was very funny and entertaining, call her a bad friend if you want, but if you were in the same situation you would do the same as her.
"Matt long hair... I mean it won't look that bad" said Lucas as he tried picturing his son with long hair.
He had never had long hair on his head before, but if his son wanted to have long hair, then that was his choice, and he had no problem with it, but he was sure that Lucinda would have another opinion.
"Long hair" said John as he sneered.
"Do not go grow your hair long, it's stupid" said John as what he actually meant was that, Matt growing long hair would make him look even more stupid than he does now.
And also no male friend of his daughter would look like a hooligan.
"Haha No no, of course not Mr. Grey, it was just a joke" said Matt as he quickly defended himself, before he added "Wants to grow long hair" to the list of things John hated about him.
"Ahhh I see" said John as he looked like he did not believe it at all, and it made Matt sigh, he realized that it would be better for him to shut up than make things worse.
"Dad have you seen mom??" asked Annie as she just realized that she had not seen her mother all day.
"Well no not since morning, but she is with Lucinda" said John.
"Ahh yes, Lucy told me that they were going to do something together today?? I have no idea what it was" said Lucas
"Oh okay" said Annie as she looked away.
"Uncles what would you do if either Annie or Evie brought a bad boy friend home to meet you?" asked Maddie as she decided to be a little mischievous and add some spice, since the drama was dying down.
"I would challenge him to a fight and knock out all his teeth" said Lucas calmly with a deadly smile.
"I would do the same as Lucas, only with my human strength" said John
"Ooooh interesting" said Maddie as she was enjoying this way too much, and she looked at Matt specifically.
Her face read 'Well good luck Matty' as she smiled at him, and Matt sighed, just what did he do to deserve this??
Meanwhile in the camp.
"Mira, Mira, I have news for you" said Liz as she rushed to Mira who was busy casting a spell on a flower.
"What is it??" asked Mira as she stood up.
"You will not believe it!!" said Liz
"Armand sent a letter to the Vice Chancellor" said Liz as she went straight to the point.
"What??" asked Mira as she almost lost her balance as she was not standing steady.
"Yes it's the truth" said Liz
"I personally delivered the letter to the Vice Chancellor" said Liz as Mira was a bit panicky, what did Armand want?? was he here for his position?? was his suspension lifted?? those were all the thoughts running throw Mira's head.
"Do you know what the letter was about?" asked Mira
"No of course not, I have respect for other people's privacy, besides I do not have the guts to open the Vice Chancellors letters" said Liz
"True" said Mira.
Well as long as she did not know what was in that letter, she could not know what Armand wanted for sure, but what she did know was that she was not going to fight on anything with him, if he was back, she would surely give him back his position with no regrets at all.
"Anyway I just came to inform you Mira" said Liz
"Thank you Liz" said Mira as she smiled.
"I will see you later" she said
"See you" said Mira
