I walked into the dining room and there was waffles, pancakes and french toast, scrambled eggs and bacon on the long table.Mario, Kate and Lorenzo, we're already eating. I took a seat beside Kate and started to dish out my food.
There was silence between us all until I decided to speak up.
"Are we doing anything interesting today?" I asked.
"Mario and I are going to check out this place." He answered.
My face lightened up. I hadn't been on a mission in a while.
When Lorenzo saw my face he shook his head.
"You're not coming." He said.
My face saddened and I looked from Mario to Kate and they both laughed.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because you don't want to see this place." He responded.
"What am I? I haven't been too important things at all." I spoke.
Lorenzo gave Mario glances and I leaned over to Kate.
"Are they talking through glances?" I asked whispering.
"I think so." She chuckled.
Five minutes later, they stopped exchanging looks and Lorenzo sighed.
"Fine, it's in California though so we have to get going after we finish eating." He said.
My eyes widened.
I was going back to my hometown. I could potentially hang out with Jess for the day.
"You do know that's my hometown, right?" I asked.
Lorenzo nodded. "Yes, I was listening." He answered.
Kate and Mario were now looking at me with curiosity.
"My best friend, Jessica lives there and I miss her. Can I go visit her for a day?" I asked.
Lorenzo didn't say anything for a few minutes.
"We won't be here for more than one day so no." He responded.
I should have seen that coming. Of course, Lorenzo wouldn't let me visit my best friend. Something he doesn't know is that I don't really care whether he lets me or doesn't. If I can't visit Jess, then she'll have to visit me.
The rest of breakfast was quiet. Mario and Lorenzo would occasionally discuss topics to do with work and Kate and I would exchange whispers now and then.
I told her my plan and she told me it wasn't a good idea. She's probably right but that's why I want to do it even more.
I got to my room and threw myself on my bed. I opened my phone and called Jessica.
