The next day.
At school,blake tried his possible best to ignore lrene,and irene was nervous to talk to him ,and she felt that he was ignoring her so she decided not to talk to him.They both ignored each other even if it was killing them.irene had no idea he was leaving,if not she would have walked up to him.
After their school was over,blake thought of telling her he was leaving,but remembered they were not talking to each other so he decided to tell aiden.
"Aiden,can i ask you this on favour?
"Sure what is it?".Aiden replied.
"Please can you tell lrene i am leaving the country tomorrow?You could just act like you said it mistakenly or something".blake requested.
"Of course",was aiden reply even when he knew he was not going to do it.
"Thank you!".blake said happily and hugged his best friend."Okay,that is enough.Quit hugging me like i am your girlfriend".aiden joked
"Uh,yeah yeah,i just got excited.let us go home at least stay with me since i would be leaving tomorrow."he said the last part quite sadly.
"Ok.lets go now.i could help you pack."aiden offered.
"Thanks,but dont worry,i already packed my things.".blake said.
"Ok,let's go."
When they got home,the boys played games in blake's room,aiden called his mom and his mom permitted him to stay as long as he wanted ,so they played video games,board games and even basket ball in the basket ball court.After blake got tired of the games(actually,he got tired of being beaten by aiden),he told aiden to go home and rest because he was tired and wanted to sleep early for tomorrow mornings flight.Blake's dad told him his sister would be coming over to talk about the company and would go back with blake to boston.

The next day.
Blake's sister,mara came over,she talked about somethings with her father after talking with him,she went upstairs to meet her sweet mother,they talked,and chatted and laughed.Mara is a very smart girl,she was nice and jovial,but she is not married.She's twenty three years of age.She is older than blake with seven years.She made blake feel like everything was alright(al though it was indeed alright).Blake loved her so much.It had been five good years since he saw her last.He felt relieved he was staying with his sweet sister and not staying alone.
When it was time to go blake's dad had the nannies packed blake's belongings into his sister's car.
Blake's dad and mom went with blake and mara to the airport.When they got to the airport,they waved their parents goodbye and boarded the plane.After their goodbyes, blake's dad and mom went home.

At mara's house.
They got to boston around seven thirty pm.
"Well,blake,welcome to my home.Feel at home,remember this is your sister's house.Can you cook?".
"No,i never learnt how to cook,neither have i entered the kitchen before.".
"Same treatment i was given when i was staying with them,but i am staying alone now so i have to be independent."mara said."Why don't you get a cook or a nanny,so atleast your workload will reduce.And if you want you privacy,you could get a cleaner that will come maybe twice a week."blake suggested.
"I will think about that.Right now let me cook something for you to eat and you can watch me cook,maybe then you might start learning how to cook.I am going to be making Asparagus and bacon,chicken kebab and fish fillet.
"Wow that is a lot."blake said,amazed.
"Of course,my brother is living with me now.These dishes are very easy to make so you should learn how to make it in no time.Let us go."
They went to the kitchen and started preparing the dishes.
"We are starting with the asparagus and bacon.Here is what you will do. Fill a pot with a few inches of water and insert a steamer basket or insert. Lay the asparagus in the steamer and cook until it's bright green and crisp-tender, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Then submerge the asparagus in a large bowl of ice water to quickly stop the cooking.Then if you want to do tbe asparagus and bacon to gether,here is what you will do.Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, pan fry the bacon for about 4-5 minutes until crisp around the edges . Add in the garlic and asparagus and stir fry for about 4 minutes until fragrant and soft. Toss in the soy sauce and stir fry for another 1 minute. Sprinkle wih salt and black pepper to taste and serve.Then your asparagus amd bacon is served."
"Wow it is so easy.Can i try making it next time?".he pleaded."Maybe.I am about to make the fish fillets i am so tired already i dont think i will be able to make the chicken kebabs that might be tomorrow Now,here is how to make the fish fillets.Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil.Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes.Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to the pan.Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end.Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter.Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through forty five to ninety seconds more,depending on the thickness of your fish.Serve immediately with chopped parsley (that is if you are using) and lemon wedges.Let us eat.
They took the food to the dining table and ate.
"From next week you will be attending harvard university.Dad has prepared all the documents and all that the university needs.He also prepared all you need.After you finished,you will start preparing for you training in other to take care of the company at home.What is on your mind?".
"Well firstly,i left my home and my best friend.I left the first girl i ever liked,the only girl that made me feel at ease whenever i am around her".Mara could see how bright his eyes was when he talked about her.
"What is her name?.Mara asked curious of who captured her brother's heart.
"Irene.The only good thing about this whole thing is that i would get to get away from that bitch vicki."he said."Well dad did you a favour alright."she said and they both laughed about it."Let us go find some cake shop to eat for dessert.
