“Thanks,” I said when finally we are already in front of our house. “Mitch,” I called Mitch so I can go in the house with her but this bitch didn’t let me grab her wrist to drag her into the house.

“You can go in first,” she said while looking at the 9th-grade boy’s eyes and just waving at me. That made me sigh, she wasn’t like this when she didn’t get dumped by that cheater.

“Mitch,” I said in a reprimanding way, this girl didn’t really learn any lessons from those guys’ who dumped and cheated at her, I wish her heart is still perfectly fine. “Haven’t you learned your lessons yet?” I asked in a whispering way and my forehead is freakin’ wrinkled, not to mention my eyebrow that is almost touching each other, maybe my skin will age earlier than me.

Mitch turned around and moved her face so her lips will be closer to my right ear, “If this works I’ll promise to bring you to a fancy restaurant,” she whispered and looked at me in the eye with her grin and moving eyebrows up and down.

“I like traveling more,” I said as I crossed my arm against my chest and showed her a smirk.

“Ok, fine,” she whispered and bit the corner of her lower lip for a while and she looks like she is thinking something, you never know, Mitch is sometimes unpredictable, we may travel together with her money, “If this works let go travel,” she said and she pointed me her index finger, “Deal?”

“Deal,” I said and touch the tip of her index finger with mine, “But where will you get the money?” I asked with my wrinkled forehead, but my hands are now behind.

“I save money,” she said and showed me a grin, “What place?” she asked with her left eyebrow-raising up and down.

“I want to go to Rome,” I said with a wide smile on my lips.

“Fine,” she said in a whispering way, “Now, will you please let us talk?” she asked so I looked at the 9th-grade boy Ethan and not lying, he looks like he is curious about what we are talking.

“Of course, of course,” I said an I hold Mitch’s shoulder, “You both can talk,” I said and turned her around as I look at Ethan’s eyes then back to Mitch. “I’ll go in first,” I said and tapped Ethan’s shoulder.

“Thank you,” Mitch said while waving at me.

“She’s happy,” I said as I let a sigh out, I am now inside the house sitting at the couch. “What are they talking about?” I asked as if someone will answer me. I am just sitting on the couch while looking at Mitch and Ethan outside when I suddenly felt sad. “They’re happy,” I said as a smile drew to my face without even realizing it. They are happy, I am Mitch’s best friend and I am happy whenever and wherever she is happy, but I don’t know why I suddenly felt sad watching them, this is making me want to cry my heart out.

Watching them is kinda fun and saddening, I don’t need a television, I am already watching a live love story drama, it is like Romeo and Juliet when Ethan left and Mitch was left so happy telling something I don’t know what but she looks so happy like Juliet.

I was on my phone when the door opened, so I immediately put my eyes on the dumb girl who entered the house.

“What did you two talked about?” I asked while following her with my eyes.

“Why?” she asked in a teasing way, this dumb girl always uses that tone when she is happy.

“Never mind,” I said and stood to cook for dinner but Mitch grabbed my wrist to stop me, I think.

“I’ll cook dinner,” she said with her wide smile and walk to the dirty kitchen while singing.

“You seldom cook the dinner,” I said, I am also in the kitchen, I followed her with my wrinkled forehead, but of course with a smirk, “Did he gave you the permission to be his girlfriend?” I asked then placed my chin to my clenched fist which my elbow is placed in the kitchen counter.

She turned around at me with a wide smile that her face will be ripped, “Yes,” she said while nodding happily.

“That was quick,” I said, I was taken aback by her answer, but I didn’t let it look so obvious because she will be offended if I did.

“I’m so happy,” she said as she dances in the kitchen while cooking, “Don’t ruin my mood, Maria,” she said and showed me her palm then she continued cooking again.

“He might cheat on you too, like your ex,” I whispered to myself, actually it was for her but like what she said, don’t ruin her mood, she may throw a fit or unfriend me if I ruin her mood or do something that makes Ethan look bad.

“Did you say anything?” she asked after she turned around to look at me with both of her eyebrows raised, I didn’t expect for her to hear that, she has good hearing.

“Nope,” I said then pursed my lips. “I didn’t say anything,” I said while shaking my head left and right.

“Are you sure?” she asked, her forehead is now wrinkled, my head behind is getting sweaty, I hope she didn’t hear anything or understand anything of what I said.

“Yes,” I answered with my nervous smile and my wrinkled forehead, “Yes, I didn’t say anything and I am sure,” I continued while nodding. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get change before eating and you should too,” I said while pointing at my room with my thumb.

“Ok, just hurry, I’m almost finished,” she said with a smile on her face and continued dancing while cooking.

Ohh, that was super close.
