April's P.O.V

"Saturdays are good days" Xander sighs
"The Best" Dad and I chorus
"I couldn't agree more" Naomi adds and we all sigh as we reach the house

The four of us had just returned from a Spa Day as a reward for all the work we've been doing.

"Good Morning, Mr. Nate!" Xander and I greet our Middle aged neighbour as we step out of the car

"Kids" He waves with a small smile before meeting up with Dad.

"Naomi. I'm starving" Xander whines and I roll my eyes at him

"Naomi, please forgive the little Brat" I smile
Xander slaps my shoulder and I scowl at him before turning back to Naomi.

"Naomi, forgive me. I didn't mean that" I tell her and Xander smirks, but so do I

"You should just offer him a fruit instead"

"What the- Naomi, you're not actually going to listen to her, are you?" He asks, exasperatedly

"Of course not. Well, just until she accepts your apology" Naomi smiles and I laugh

"What Apology?" Xander almost yells

"Xan, all I'm hearing is that whether you get any food or not, depends on me" I grin down at him as I reach the top of the stairs.

He rushes up, behind me and I rush to my room.
Xander reaches me immediately and uses his leg to stop me from fully closing the door.

"What now?" I groan

"Tell Naomi to make something for me to eat"

"Xander" I scowl "You heard her. You have to apologize to me, first" I smirk and he groans and glares at me

"This is unfair" He sighs and I just smile at the frustrated young boy

"Okay. I'msorry,pleaseforgiveme" He rushes and I smirk

"Sorry? What was that?"

"AP" He whines "I'm sorry" He mutters lowly under his breath and I laugh

"I can't hear you" I sing.
Xamier scowls at me before nodding.
He's quiet for a moment.

Then suddenly, he yells "SpongeBob SquarePants!!" and I scream

That startled me. I wasn't expecting that. At all.
The goon bursts out laughing

"Geez. Just get out of here!" I roll my eyes and bang my door shut.

I flop down on my bed with a sigh, and almost immediately, there's a loud ping sound from my phone.

I bring out my phone from my Pocket to see a notification.
It's a message from Zoe.

Zoe: Hey April
Zoe: Are you going to be at Alya's Party on Friday?

Oh no. I had almost forgotten that was on Friday. Ugh!

April: Of course
April: How about you?

Z: If I'm not busy

A: We can bring anyone along, right?

Z: Yeah. Sure

A: Okay then. Thanks

Sigh

Next Week is going to be such a busy Week. Along with that, Dad said I shouldn't stop practicing my dance just because I'm now a big shot Super Star.

I told him I'm not yet big shot or a Super Star, but he's right.
I haven't really focused on my dancing for a while now.
I need a partner or tutor and the girls are usually busy. Everyone will be going back in a few Weeks.
