Is there any other Direction?

Just Another Day...

"Boo!" Sasha yelled in my ear and I screamed and turned around so that I was facing her.

"Whatever did you do that for?" I asked, my voice raised to a higher pitch than usual.

"Well as we were playing hide and seek, and you were hiding, and I was seeking, and I obviously found you, I decided to surprise you! Why did you hide in the washing basket anyway, that's where I always hide," she asked.

"How was I supposed to know that?" I retorted. I have still only known you for like five days, it's not that much time to find out the other person's favourite spot for hide'n'seek."

"Twenty questions?"

"What?"

"Twenty questions."

"Still not following you."

"Do. You. Want. To. Play. Twenty. Questions," she asked, speaking to me as if I were a child."

"Sure," I glared at her but she turned back around and pulled my arm out of the basket before she noticed it.

"Off to my bedroom we go, we go, off to my bedroom we goooooo!" She sang quite loudly and badly.

Oh what of it, I joined in her atrocious singing on the way to her bedroom, only stopping when Nanna asked us quite rudely, I might add, if we could shut it, she was trying to watch the golf. Oh Nanna, you will be the death of us someday.

We settled down on her bed cover and she started immediately with such an original question - "Favourite colour?"

"Purple. Dream husband?"

"Harry Styles. Ideal dog?"

"Poodle. I'm allergic to animals with fur, like cats and dogs. Except poodles. They don't have fur. I actually don't know what they have now that you mention it."

"I didn't mention it Maddie."

"Moving on! Favourite country?"

"England. You?"

"Australia. Harry Potter or Twilight?"

"Harry Potter. Favourite H. P. character?"

"Ginny all the way. Hogwarts or Half-blood?"

"Half-blood definately. You are looking at a daughter of Apollo ladies and gentlemen, be jelly! Which one are you?"

"Athena. There is no question about it," I replied. "Kiss, dump or date, Taylor Lautner, Danielle Radcliffe, Logan Lerman?"

"Kiss Logan, date Taylor, and dump Daniel. I'm sorry Harry!" She cried out, lifiting her hands dramatically, the doorbell coincidentally ringing at that exact time. "Your turn now Maddie. Kiss, date or dump, Tom Felton, Orlando Bloom, Zac Efron."

"Kiss Zac, date Bloom and dump Tom. "I'm sorry Tom!" I cried out, imitating Sasha as I did so, the doorbell not ringing, but instead Nanna called out from the front door,

"Maddie, there's someone here to see you!"

I looked at Sasha puzzled and she shrugged in return, obviously having no idea either. Seeing no one at the front door when we walked into the hallway I instead turned into the loungeroom and spotted a very familiar head of hair that turned around upon my entrance.

"Cassandra!" I cried, rushing into her open arms. "I haven't seen or heard from you in months! Why... How.. When?"

"Nice to see you too Maddie," she grinned.

"Am I missing something?" Sasha asked slowly.

"Oh! This is Cassandra. Sasha meet Cassandra, Cass meet Sasha. Cass is my best friend from Adelaide, despite the three year age gap."
