"OK, boys, listen up!" I exclaim loudly. "We need to start getting into business now. We don't know how long we have until he comes, so that means everyone's taking on tasks."
After my talk with Cisco last night, I made sure to write down some important things so we could discuss them during lunch. That is the only time we can discuss it. Each of us has a responsibility to withhold to a task.
"Okay, so you guys got your tasks, but we should discuss this in a more secure place." I'm finalizing and looking at them all.
"Oh!" Cisco raises his hand; we all look at him "I got it. How about a sleepover at my house after school today? It is secure and it will be a great cover-up to discuss more freely." He suggested a little too excited.
"I don't know Cisco, what about your parents? Don't you need like a few days' notice for this thing?" I ask skeptical.
"It's no problem really, Levi and Kai are over all the time they won't mind another one. Especially if it is you." He winks at me, to which I roll my eyes to his silliness.
"Well we have to face another problem with your idea Cisco." I sigh.
"What?" They all say together.
"My brothers." I deadpanned.
"Oooooohhhh." They all dumbfounded.
"Yeah, I didn't think of that." Cisco looked down and scratching his head.
"Well why don't you just ask them and see? Who know they might say yes." Kai says with hope.
"Yeah, my seven older BROTHERS will let me go to a sleep over with not one, not two? But with three BOYS. Yeah, they'll totally let me go." I sarcastically say as I throw my hands up at the idea of even asking them.
"Come on. At least try." Levi gives me a reassuring smile and gives me my phone from the table to call and ask.
I groaned I'll ready know how this is going to go. I dial the one person I have to call for stuff like this, and that is my oldest, stern, bossy, and blank face brother Christian.
The phone picked up on the third ring "Hello?" I say first.
"Hello, Nova. Is there something wrong?" He asked in a monotone voice.
"No, I just had to ask you something." A little hesitant.
"You can ask me anything mija." He says softly.
That kinda reassures me " I wanted to ask if I can sleepover at Cisco's house after school with Levi and Kai?" I asked wait for the obvious answer which is no, but it was silent on the other line that I thought we got disconnected.
