Chapter 9
"Hi.who is this?"
"What!? you did not save my number when I told you to?"I said to her.
"I don't want to save it that's why I
leave it" she answered me nonchalantly.
"When are we going to do the project?"I asked.
"This weekend," she said without thinking twice, and that even surprised me.
"Have you thought about it before?"I asked.
"Yup," she said popping the 'p'
"Okay, bye," I said and hang up without letting her reply.
After the call, I called my best friend
"Hey, what's up?"I said
"I'm fine. how is it going there? Any hot chick?" he asked playfully.
"Well, there is this one girl that is proving difficult_"I was saying when he interrupted me.
"Wow! A girl is proving difficult for Jayden Brown. the Jayden Brown that I know is so hot that girls can't resist his beauty" he said and I rolled my eyes.
"Noah, enough of the praises. can I continue now?"
"Okay, go on," he said.

"We are school partners and I even beg her to accompany me home cause I don't want to go home alone and we are living on the same street" I narrated.
"What!? as in you beg her?.hm hm hm that's the beginning of a love story" he said dramatically.
"Love story my ass, we will be doing a project together and I ask her where to do the project and she said_"
"What did she say?" he asked impatiently.
"Can you please let me talk?"I groaned frustratedly.
"Okay sir"
"And she said my house"I concluded.
"Where do you suggest we do the project?"I asked him.
"Your room of course, where else?" he said using the 'Are you a baby' tone.
"You sure?"
"yep and make sure you kiss her," he said.
"It's not only kissing. okay goodbye," I said and hang up.
I went downstairs for dinner and met Dad at the bottom of the staircase.
"I just want to come and call you for dinner," Dad said.
"what are you doing inside?" he added.
"I am calling Noah and Anna" I replied.
"Anna?" he asked frowning.
"Yes. Sophie's daughter. we have a project to submit next week so she is coming over on the weekend"I told him.
"Okay, son. Bee careful," Dad said.
"Don't worry Dad," I said and eat my food.
After I finish eating dinner, I went to my room to freshen up, wear my pyjamas, and went to sleep.

Anna's pov
After Jayden and i's conversation, I couldn't keep my smile to myself as I smile until I get home when I got home I did not find Mum's car in the garage.
"Maybe she has gone out," I said to myself.
I entered the house and shouted
"Emily, big sis is home!!"
"Em!!"
"Big sis!"I heard a tiny voice call out, as I looked up I saw Emily sprinting down the stairs with her Teddy bear.
when she got downstairs she launched into my stretched arms.
"Aaarrgh!"I screamed as she launched into my arms.
"wow! Emily, you have gained weight" I said as I managed to balance the both of us.
"sissy" she called showing her uncompleted teeth.
"where is mum?"I asked her.
"she said she wanted to go and visit her friend that just came to their new house" she replied.
"Okay, let me go and freshen up. then I will come downstairs afterward "I said to her and put her on the couch.
I went to my room smiling as I remembered his puppy face when he is begging me. I went to take my bath and wore sweatpants and a monkey-face top, then I went downstairs to meet Emily. Mum has come back already.
"Welcome back Mum" I greeted.
"How are you doing darling?" Mum replied smiling but I find that smile weird because Mum does not smile this big before.
"Mum, why are you smiling that way?"I asked.
"Nothing daughter. Come and help me in the kitchen" she said.
(Brought to you by blue dammy)
I followed her to the kitchen and look for what to do.
"Mum, what should I help you with?"I asked her.
"just cut the veggies and make sure you rinse them before you cut them" she instructed.
"Okay, mum"
I pick up the veggies, rinsed them, and cut them. By the time we are done with. Cooking, it's already dinner time.
I helped Mum to arrange the dinner on the dining table. we are eating fried rice, salad, chicken, eggs, and a lot of meat with a smoothie.
"Anna, call your sister before you sit down "Mum said.
"Emily! Come downstairs. Food is ready!"I yelled.
"I'm coming sis! "she yelled back rushing down the stairs with her teddy bear.
"Can you please don't choke the teddy? Just drop it and come and eat"My mum said to her.
"No mum. She must eat too" she replied like a kid she is.
"As you wish my princess. come here"Mum said and place her on one of the chairs.
"Mum, am I not a princess too," I said pouting my lips at her.
"yes you are but you are not an ordinary princess. you are a Barbie princess" Mum teased waving her hands in the air dramatically.
"I am not a Barbie princess. I'm a castle princess" I said.
"Okay castle princess, come and eat, "Mum said.
We sat down and ate at the table laughing together as one family.
"ehn! Lest I forget castle princess, do you know Jayden" Mum asked?
"How do you know mum?"I asked surprised.
"he is the son of the friend I went to visit "Mum explained.
"ooh! I love their house. It's very beautiful" I said dreamily.
"You will go there someday, "Mum said dramatically.
"What?! What did you say? Jeez! You are ridiculous Mum" I said laughing
