"I'm after Ellen please" Mrs. Roberts was look into the face of a tall handsome blonde boy with blue eyes.
"Let me call her. Ellen sweetie, you've got a visitor."
"Coming mum!"Ellen shouted from upstairs. Mrs. Roberts gave Josh a seat in the living room and moments later Ellen came downstairs. She looked pretty. Her brunette hair was neatly tied in a bun.
"Hey Josh.What a surprise?Why are you here?"
"Ellen we need to talk about... but I met the one and only Holly Roberts!"Josh wanted to mention Betty but he realized he wasn't alone with Ellen. Ellen sensing this immediately said,"Mum, this is Josh Ryder,my classmate. Josh, my mum."She introduced.
"Nice to meet you. I love your show"Josh shook hands with Ellen's mum.
"Thank you. Don't forget to rate us with five stars."Mrs Roberts said.
"Mum, I have to go with Josh. Bye!"Ellen immediately grabbed Josh by his arm and hurried outside before her mum could ask any questions.
"So, why are you here?"Ellen asked him when they got out. They had started walking but Ellen had no idea where they were going to.
"I would answer you but you have to give me an answer to this question."Ellen expected a question about Betty and she was ready to answer. Instead Josh asked a different question.
"Why do you have your arm tucked in my as if we're going to the Ball?" Ellen didn't know that she was still having Josh's arm. She blushed at his question and immediately took her arm away from Josh's. Josh smiled at her innocence and said "It's fine, I only came here to talk about plans for Betty."
"Plans for Betty?"
"Yes, you can't do this on your own. You need your friends. I know you always walk with two people and their fathers are famous people"Josh was right. Jeanette and Melanie as well as Ellen were popular in school because of their parents.Melanie was the daughter of the famous English comedian, writer and broadcaster,Alan Carr and Jeanette was the daughter of one of British most celebrated actors, Robert Pattinson.
"Okay, let's go speak to them. I'm sure they will understand."
*****************************************
" I don't understand. You mean your best friend from some suburb is coming to visit you after eight years and you want us to act in front of her. This is all bull shit!"Jeanette said in her annoying voice that Ellen hated so much after Ellen had talked to she and Melanie about Betty and Josh's plan to help Ellen fix her mistake of not getting in touch with her.
"This is not bull shit Jeanette.It is helping Ellen. It's just a simple favor. Play your cards well that's all. She just needs us to pretend as if she talks about Betty almost everyday."Melanie said to Jeanette and Josh added "Put yourself in her shoes and you will understand why she decided to forget about Betty, but as one of her closest friends she needs you more than ever." Jeanette looked into Ellen's eyes, they were wet.
"Alright, what do we do?"She asked and everyone sighed and smiled.
