"I still have a week here, do you want us to visit your parents?" Cyryll suggested while walking away from the field.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah...I also miss your dad's company." He looked away.

"FAKE!" I mocked. I heard him laugh a held my hand. We were  walking peacefully when I heard a camera flash.

"GOTCHA!" I looked back and saw Lincoln holding a camera with a teasing smile.

"Hey!" Cyryll greeted, not minding what he just did.

"Wassup bro!" he greeted back. "Don't mind me, I'm just taking photos for the  school news paper." 

I was silent...I didn't want to interrupt Cyryll and Lincoln's conversation. I just stood there... prim and proper.

"Akeelah!" I heard Alice yelled from afar, running towards us. She's with  Diane?

"This is why I hate being single." She shook his head while laughing with Diane...Diane looked happy but I  could still see the  pain in her eyes invading.

"You want to eat?" Alice offered.

"It's almost midnight! Where do you see an open restaurant in the middle of the night?" Diane tried to get Alice on her senses. 

"Let's get a drive-trough then eat it at  Akeelah's place!" She offered like it was hers.

"Did you asked her permission?" Diane pointed at me, raising a brow at  Alice.

"Please?" Alice begged like a puppy.

I rolled my eyes and just nodded. WHAT ELSE CAN I EVEN DO? 

"You girls are planning to eat?" Lincoln tried to get along.

"Yeah! Wanna come?" I asked leaning my head on Cyryll's shoulders.

"Sure!"


__FEW  HOURS LATER__


We were sitting on the living room, facing the coffee table while talking about school stuff.

"Oh! Wait?" Alice tried to process everything. "So you are studying Architecture?" 

"Yeah...I'm in my 3nd year already." Lincoln acted like it was easy.

"Gosh!  That's hard! You're a great hacker plus you know how to draw then take photography at the same time?" Alice  sounded amazed.

"I already stopped hacking before I even got on collage...plus it's illegal" he looked away. "But man! Cyryll kept begging me to help him!" He sarcastically said.

"It's a one time thing!" Cyryll defended himself.

Lincoln made a face then continued speaking. "But now! I'm busy making new designs for my plates and doing photography."

"Wow! so you make plate?" Alice burst from excitement. 

Like girl! Calm down!

"Plastic or Glass?" She asked trying to be serious. Making all of us burst out of laughter. She was left dumb founded, questioning why'd we laughed at  her question.

"In your every question you look dumber and dumber!"  Diane tried to  contain her laughed.

"Plates is were we make designs of a building or structures and draw it, to present on our prof." Lincoln tried to explain calmly without laughing.

"How should I know? I'm going to be a lawyer not an architect!" She tried saving herself from humiliation.

"It's already late! I should go now!" Lincoln stood up and fixed himself up.
