Kelly and Damien came over after school and was surprised to see what I've done.
You made all these?! Kelly said with wide eyes,
I'll be back in a jiffy she said dashing out and came back with a small bag, opening the fridge she brought out the cookies and stuffed them in the bag
This is mine. Your what? Won't you give me cookies she said with her big puppy eyes.
Damien just stood like a statue. Hey are you alive?
Oh sorry I was in my head he said with an awkward smile.
We went to the living room and was lost in the movie we were watching when my mom came in.
hey sweetie, good afternoon ma they chorused. Lily and I'm going for a business trip and will be back in a week.
What?! you didn't tell me anything like this before?
It was an emergency darling I'm so sorry. And I was thinking if you'll go to your aunt place for the time being.
Mom I'm eighteen I'll be fine on my own don't worry.
Are you sure? Don't worry ma'am ill take care of Lily. Kelly said out of nowhere and i glared at her.
Okay then if you say so mom said defeated. Should I help you pack? No need I've already packed in the morning I only came back to pick my suitcases she said going to her room.

I went back in and Kelly turned to me, her eyes gleaming with mischievousness.

Oh thanks. Also I have something to tell you. I said avoiding to meet his piercing gaze.

I yawned and adjusted my position on the couch as Kelly switched the channel for the fifth time, "lets just watch youtube then".
Nevermind I'm going home I wanna go pack my stuffs for the sleepover.
Yeah whatever, oh I almost forgot bring your textbooks along let's revise. Okay.
Kelly came back around seven came claiming something important came up but she didn't tell me what it was exactly and I decided not to ask.
Okay where should we start from? She said dumping her textbooks on the table and I went to bring mine too.
We revised for several hours taking short breaks. Iym tired Lily lets continue tomorrow please?
