One Wish [Heavy Editing]

Chapter 4

They didn't read it.

Therefore I owe y'all nothing.

Here goes a lil sum-sum anyways.

Lailani

To our luck, he did ride her bus.

To his misfortune however, he had to sit beside her.

The entire 45-minutes.

Rae had a tendency to talk people's ears off...poor Daniel.

I drove home...which was about a thirty second drive....

The fuck I look like walking?

I walked in and greeted my mother, who was currently chopping greens.

"Hey ma,"

"Get your stuff off of the island. We go through this every day."

"I said, hello Ma."

She gave me the look, and I immediately ran upstairs with my bag. I quickly scanned over my completed homework, planning to give Kev his. I did his for him, knowing that he never did his homework anyways.

"I'm going over Kevin's house." I announced, walking back downstairs. "Come back in time for dinner. They can come too if they'd like."

"Cool."

I walked out and walked over the couple of lawns separating our houses from each other. Since they never kept the door closed, I walked in and greeted everyone, heading upstairs. This was a daily routine. If I didn't come, it'd probably feel weird around here.

Shari walked out of Kevin's room looking infuriated. "He cracked my phone." She mumbled, going downstairs. "Why, Kevin." I asked, looking at him with a smirk.

"I honestly don't know. It just...happened."

"Boyyy...." I dragged, mushing him. "I brung your homework."

"Thanks, you're a doll." He said, kissing me on the cheek. He's never done that before, and trust me, I was screaming on the inside. I acted normal, however, and asked him if he wanted to come over for dinner.

"Sure. My mom doesn't cook on Wednesday's, anyways."

Of course, Kev got in trouble for cracking Shari's phone, and got his taken. I was on the floor rolling.

"It's not funny, Lani."

He sat on my stomach and I laughed even harder. I eventually got him off of me.

"I'm telling on you." He ran out of his room and I chased after him, running outside and towards my house.

It was time for dinner. Shari came over too, helping my mom set the table. My job, I know.

Kev and I were still outside, chasing after eachother. I was hiding behind a tree, smirking. He's never going to--

"BOO."

My heart stopped for at least 30 seconds. He picked me up and ran into the house, sitting me in the chair beside him. "Man, y'all smell like outside."

"You mean grass?" Kev asked, thumping Shari's arm. "No, I mean outside like I said. Don't touch me, either."

Kev snickered, causing me to do the same.

Dinner was filled with joke-cracking, question-asking, and simply having a good time. My dad joined us, and he pestered me like crazy, which everyone thought was hilarious.

After dinner, my mother packed food for the adults at their houses, sending them on their way.
