"You guys are here." Ava called out with a wide smile on her face.
"I don't get why she is smiling at us. Am still mad at her." Chad whispered to Andres.
"Just be nice and smile back. She literally trekked bare foot to this place." Andres said with a fake grin.
"Did you get my stuffs?." Ava asked.
"Why did you leave them just like that at the kaoroke in the first place?. It's made it look like you got lost or kidnapped. Were you drunk?." Geena asked as she sat beside Ava.
"Well. She wasn't. Daniel and Ava got into a little argument and then Ava said something she shouldn't have. You guys got mad at her and walked out on her. She felt bad about what she did but still wanted to teach you guys a little lesson." Daniel's mom said.
They all turned to Ava who was nodding in agreement.
"And am sorry to all of you for ruining kaoroke night." Ava said.
"Okay. Now, everybody have your seat. I found a very interesting movie in the basement." Daniel's dad said aloud as he walked into the room with two CDs in his hands.
"Why do I feel excited?." David asked as he and Alora both sat down.
"Here. To feel cosy." Daniel's mom said handling them a wide blanket.
"Thank you." Alora said with a big smile.
"I do too." She said to David.

"Is the movie that bad?." David asked Alora.
"What?."
"Don't tell me you don't know that you have been dozing since the movie started." David stated.
Alora sighed out loudly.
"I have. I know. It's past my bedtime and am at an unplanned movie night with a really really cosy blanket." Alora said.
"Well at least I didn't force you to it this time. You came in for the movie night yourself. And you can sleep if you want to, the couch is long and wide enough for both of us to share." David said gently.
Alora smiled widely. She mouthed a thank you to David.
"And we leave early tomorrow. I will wake you when it's time to go." David added.
Alora nodded.
"Now sleep and be quiet. This movie is getting even more interesting." David said as he turned his full attention to the movie.
As Alora adjusted herself to sleep, her eyes met Daniel, who has been staring at her the whole time.
He kept looking.
He didn't even blink nervously.
Or try to pretend like he wasn't staring.
He kept his eyes fixed on her the whole time.
'Why does it feel like I have seen her somewhere even before the whole Student ID incident."
Daniel thought to himself.
Daniel smiled and gave a little wave to Alora.
Alora waved back at Daniel who was now typing something into his phone.
Her phone dings at that moment.
Daniel had messaged her on Instagram.
"Hey. Found you on Instagram."
Alora smiled as she read the text , she looked up to Daniel who had a light smile on his face, glaring at her.
"Yea. I can see that. Hi." Alora sent back.
"How was your little nap."
"Cosy. This blanket be doing wonders."
"Yea. That was my favorite blanket when I was little. Andres loves it too."
"Oh. Andres told us about how you guys met."
"That's an improvement."
"why?."
"It was a moment in his life he didn't want to relive ever again. Am glad he is fine to talk about it now".
"Am glad he is fine too."
"Okay. This texting has gone another direction from where I intended it to go. Um.. Goodnight. I will see you at school tomorrow."
"Goodnight. Or I will probably see you when I wake up, this is your house."
"Lol. Totally forgot about that. Well, see you later."
"See you Later."

Her eyes were blurry but she saw him approaching her.
'Hey!. Hey!. Are you okay." Alora!.
"Uh..what..what happened?!." Alora jerked up,awake.
Andres chuckled slightly as he sat down.
"Where is David? And are you Okay?." Andres asked.
"David is...I think he has a class. And I am definitely not okay." Alora replied as she rubbed her head.
"It's the first time I spent my night out ever since I started this university." Alora added putting Andres in awe.
" Like seriously?." Andres asked.
Alora nodded slowly. " Am not really a fan of sleep overs and late nights out." Alora said.
"Clear enough. But are you sure you are okay?. If you are not, we can quickly drop by the school's clinic. You can get some drugs and rest a bit. Okay?." Andres said a little worried.
Alora nodded. "Okay".
"Oh. Who do we have here?." Nurse beth said aloud as Alora and Andres walked in.
And just as Andres was about to say something. Alora drops down. Lying on the floor.
Nurse beth immediately flung to her feet hurrying over.
"Oh my God. Did..did she faint. Is..is she dead!!?." Andres half yelled terrified.
"Shut up Andres !. Help me get her to the bed." Nurse beth said quickly.
"Oh..ok..ok.."
Minutes later.
Alora was awake and Andres was sitting beside her on a chair.
"What..what happened?." Alora asked immediately trying to sit up.
"I am so glad i suggested we drop by the clinic. You literally fainted. You scared the shit out of me Alora!." Andres said Aloud, his tune reck of worriedness.
"Keep it quiet Andres!." Nurse beth Said out.
"Sorry."
"Oh and I called David and Daniel. They are on their way." Andres added.
Alora sat up. "You didn't have to. I am fine." She said.
"Well you are not totally fine. You need absolute rest and sleep." Nurse beth said.
"Okay but I need to get out of here. David will freak out if he sees me like this. Then he will call my brother and then my brother calls my Dad and it's turns into some kind of emergency family meeting. I really don't want that!." Alora stated out loud.
"Alora,relax." Andres called, holding her hands.
"That won't happen. So relax and rest." Andres said softly to her.
Alora nodded with a little smile on their face, before lying back on the bed, Andres helped to put the cover back on her.
"So she is your girlfriend?." Nurse beth whispered to Andres as he stood beside her.
"No. She is not."
"Well she is pretty. You are one lucky guy." Nurse beth Said again.
"She is not!. Okay,stop. Or else I will tell mom you are mendling in on my business at school again." Andres stated.
"Well you came to me. And this isn't a school business. It's about my sister in law."
"First this is the school's Clinic, I didn't come for you, I came to the school's clinic. And stop, she is not my girlfriend and definitely not your sister in law." Andres said quickly again.
"Okay.okay. I hear you little brother. Stay single forever if you want." Nurse beth teased with a little laugh.
Just then Daniel and David rushed in.
"What the hell happened?. Is she okay?. Where is she?!." David asked terrified.
"It's all good. She is over there?." Nurse beth said as she pointed to Alora's direction who was already sitting up.
"Hi David." Alora called softly.
"Oh my God. Thank God." David rushed over to her.
"Hi Aunty beth. Alora..She is really Okay right?." Daniel asked slowly.
Nurse Beth nodded.
"She is fine. She is just a bit stressed. All she needs is rest." She said.
Daniel nodded, his hands folded across his chest.
Minutes later, Daniel, Andres and David were all gathered around Alora's bedside.
"You are supposed to be asleep Alora." Andres said.
"Yea, I know am supposed to to. But it's kinda not possible with the three of you staring at me like this. I am fine." Alora said.
"Are you sure you don't feel pains anywhere?". Daniel asked.
Alora chuckled. " No. I am totally fine."
"So do we like need to go to an hospital after this?." David asked worried.
"No David. I am fine. I have said that times without number." Alora clarified again.
"And thank you for not telling my brother." She added.
"Uh.. about that.. Alora..I.." David was about talking
"Alora!!." A loud voice called from the door way.
"Oh no." Alora frowned.
"I..Hi big brother."
