"Carmilla , wake up! your aunt Helena will be here in few second. Oh dear, why are you so hard to wake up" Mrs.Lenoir couldn't help but to slap her daughter's butt to wake up her
"mum, just give me five minutes" Carmilla hide her face inside the quilt but after few second she suddenly get up "mummy, is Carl coming along too?!"
"ah yes? not sure but aren't your aunt Helena said she'd bring him along today?" with questioning face Mrs. Lenoir asked her daughter again, returning a question.
"shouldn't you know better? he's your friend, is not it?" she continued
"well yeah, he is but damn! I'm getting late, they'd be here in few seconds" Carmilla hurried to the bathroom
"Watch your step, apple!" Mrs. Lenoir shake her head while shouting to remind her daughter. Apple was what she call her daughter.
"this clumsy girl never learn her lesson" Mrs. Lenoir mumbled, remembering the past event where her daughter slipped down when she was in hurry to the bathroom.
after tidying up her messy bed, Mrs. Lenoir went back to the kitchen to check the desserts she had prepared, after a few minutes the door's bell rang.
"Apple! they're here!"
"I'm here I'm here, mum look at me, do I look pretty?"
"Yes you're, now go open the door"
"No mum, look again. is my make up too heavy or...-"
"Faster Carmilla, you're turning 16th soon no longer a kid. Go open the door, they're waiting"
"okay!"

'I hope he's here, who told him to not tell me that he's coming today' Carmilla's heart was beating fast
"Hey sweetie, you look so fascinating today?" Aunt Helena greeted her right after she open the door
"thank you, you look more younger too" Carmilla's was smiling sweetly while complementing her aunt Helena
"oh dear, today's younger really know how to sweet talk, but it really boost me and I feel like I'm in eighteen today ha ha ha" Mrs. Helena was smiling widely, hearing somebody say that to her really made her day.
"come in come in, mum is at the kitchen" although her eyes is on her aunt but she actually took a peek at him. knowing he never look at her the way how she look at him for him she's just a close friend.

*Living room*
"Carl, did you take any part in the school next week sport event?" She was trying to divert his attention from his phone.
his concentration was fully on his phone, chatting with someone but she couldn't see who he's chatting with.
"ah yes? sorry I was talking with Lily. can you repeat?" it took him a minute to answer her, then he continue to look at his phone again.
"well...-" 'forget it then, he's busy' she tried to ease her heart, the situation become awkward.
"hmm?" he then close his phone then look at her
"may I know who is Lily?" she didn't meant to ask that but she couldn't hold her tongue
"Lily? oh she's my friend, the manager in basket ball club"
"Oh, I bet she must be pretty" 'to be able to caught your attention' she didn't say out the other half, well he is the guy who she had love secretly. who could stand it when their favourite person talking about other girl.
"hmm.. yeah, I think she's pretty" He couldn't hide his happy face and Carmilla can see it clearly
"oh, ok" she suddenly felt something is off and it really make her uncomfortable and moody
"oh ya, I've plan with my friends today, and it's almost time. I've to go" she didn't wait for him to say anything, she called her bestfriend while heading to the door. She really couldn't sit there while her head making a killing scenario
