The Camping Disaster

Chapter 11: Tiana pays a visit

Nathalie woke up to find loads of messages in the group. Most them saying,
'Is Vexter okay?' or 'How is Vexter?'

Nathalie was grounded for a day so the camping trip was yet again, postponed.
Same situation was with Vexter.
She answered the questions and apologised for the postponement.

Now, the camping trip would be on next Friday. Who knew a simple camping trip would take this long?

The bell rang. Who visits at this hour?
Nathalie looked at the time, it is 12 PM.

"Mind answering the door Nat? I'm a bit busy"
"Sure mom"

The opened the door, to her surprise, it was Tiana! Tiana's mom is very strict and rarely let's her outside. Now she's standing before Nathalie!

"Omg! Tina!?"
"Hello Nat! You gonna let me inside?"
"Of course! Come in, come in!"
Tiana entered the house and looked around.
"Who is it Nat?"
"It's Tina Mom!"
"Oh Tiana! I'll make some lemonade"

Nathalie took Tiana to the living room. She sat down.
Mom brought two glasses of lemonade and gave one to Nathalie and another to Tiana.

"Hello Auntie, how are you?"
"I'm doing well dear, it's a pleasure to have you here"
"I appreciate your welcome, thank you"
"No problem, now drink the lemonade while it's cold, you won't like it if it gets normal"
"Of course!"

Mom left to the kitchen.

Tiana took a sip and looked around the house. The house didn't have much decor.
Plain white, a dining table in the middle in the dining area. A gap separating the living room, covered by curtain for guests from the dining area. Three rooms three bathrooms and a kitchen.

"The living room's quite boring, wanna go to my room? I'll turn on the AC"
"Sure!"

Tiana finished her lemonade and went to Nathalie's room.

Nathalie's room was quite simple too. Plain white, two windows with curtains covering them, a study table, a single bed which was neatly made, a wardrobe probably go store her clothes, a dressing table with a long mirror a small table with a laptop, keyboard and mouse on it, along with gaming headphones and a gaming chair and an AC. The curtains were decorated by fake plants and led lights were glued to the ceiling.
The fan turning round and round.

Tiana then looked at Nathalie. Nathalie was kind of like a tomboy. Had wavy hair, with a wolf cut. Loved to dress comfortably and definitely was strong like a boy. She wasn't like those 'pick me girls' and would hang out with the girls and Vexter the most.

Except Nathalie, all of the girls loved to dress up and gossip. You could say, they were 'girly girls'.

Nathalie always thought these gossips were silly and she'd rather read books than gossip. She was a gamer and would usually game with Vexter. Sometimes, she also goes out shopping with Scarlette and the other girls.

Tiana had a layered haircut. She also loved to draw (you all probably know that). Her dream was to become a fashion designer.

Nathalie would jokingly say,
'if you do make it as a fashion designer, make me your model!'

"Did Vexter ever visit?" Tiana asked after a long silence
"Mom doesn't like having boys in the house that much, if our group comes, she'll probably agree" Nathalie replied, distracted with a book
"Oh, did Vexter suffer a lot from that head injury?"
"It wasn't that serious, his head just bleeded"

The girls didn't say anything. Nathalie was still reading that book.

"I get it, would your mom let you go out right now?"
"I'm grounded remember? Of course just because you ask her she won't let me"
"What are you reading?"
"A murder is announced by Agatha Christie"
"Oh..."

Tiana looked at the time, it was 1PM.

"I think my mom will-"
