'So, like this?' I asked when I let see the trap I made to Jennifer Emily Stoll. Her father and uncle taught her all about traps and pranks. I wanted it too but my mother didn't allow it. It was a miracle her mother allowed. Katie Stoll wasn't a fan of pranks.
She checked a few things and nodded. 'Yup, that will do. Now, step two, waiting for the victim.'
We hided in the bushes and waited. After a few minutes a man in an expensive looking shirt walked past our bush. He walked right intoy trap. His ankle pulled against the thin rope, and the catapult launched a few water balloons into his face. He spat out the water that came into his mouth and looked around furiously. Then he saw us.
'Shit.' I hissed and we ran away.
'Get here, you fuckers!' The man shouted. Jenni wanted to stop and yell back at him but I grabbed her arm and continued running. Soon we stood at the corner of the street with her apartment.
'You think we lost him?' I asked looking around the corner. I saw the man running this way.
'Hey!' He shouted when he saw me.
'Run!' I said. We ran to the building and got in. We got in the lift just when the man came into the building. The doors closed before he could reach us. I heard him banging at the other side of the lift doors. When we came at Jenni's floor we got out. We took a moment to breath because we couldn't in the stinking lift. We quietly ran through the hallway when I noticed that the other lift almost reached this floor. We just ran around the corner when we heard the bell. Jenni carefully peeked around the corner. Suddenly she grabbed my arm and pulled me with her. Her other hand was in her pocket, searching the key. We stopped at her door and she pulled in the key. She opened and got in. Just as I was going to walk in the man ran around the corner. I went in and closed the door behind me. I leaned against it and took a deep breath. The man banged on the door at the other side.
'Who's that?' Katie asked coming around the corner.
'A dude we pranked.' Jenni replied. 'Don't open the door.'
Katie sighed. 'Why do you have to be like your dad?'
'Don't know. Dominant DNA?' Jenni shrugged. She walked to her room and I followed her. She went on her balcony and let two apples grow on her small tree. She gave me one and ate the other herself. I took a bite. The juice immediately streamed down my chin.
'Nice.' I said and licked my lips.
'Aren't they always?' Jenni asked after she swallowed a bite.
'Little arrogant are we?' I teased her.
'You're even more arrogant, so who cares?' She shot back.
'Just teasing.' I smirked.
'Sure thing. Brave enough to look if he's still there?'
'Ain't I always?'
We went back in, threw away our eaten apples and quietly went to hallway. It was quiet. Jenni peeked through the hole. She opened the door. She looked around.
'Gone.' She said. 'Safe to go.'
'In for another joke?' I asked.
'Sorry, I promised Jacqueline to go shopping.' She answered. 'Tomorrow?'
'Sure.'
'See you then, Marco.' Jenni smiled.
'Bye, Emily.' I said and walked out.

'Mom! I'm home!' I yelled when I opened the door.
'Hi sweetie!' She shouted back. I followed her voice to the kitchen. 'Had fun with Jennifer?'
'Yeah, pranked some people.' I smirked.
She laughed when suddenly the kitchen bell rang. She pulled on her oven gloves and pulled out a plate full of chocolate chip cookies. I reached out to take one, but she slapped my hand away.
'This is for our visitors!' She said.
'Who's coming?' I asked.
'Do you still have to ask, Lucas?' She smiled.
'I'm gonna guess that the Jacksons are coming. And the families Grace, Zhang, Di Angelo. Do I forget someone?'
'Nope, that's all. You want me to help with the cake? You can choose the flavor.'
'Sure. And it's gonna be...' I thought for a moment. 'Chocolate with orange.'
'Then get the cacao and the oranges!' She said and took out some flour.
I took a few oranges from the fruit bowl and the cacao out of the cupboard. Soon the cake was in the oven.
'So how are you and Jennifer?' She asked while she wiped everything clean.
'Just friends, Mom. No single butterfly in my stomach when I see her. I like to be with her, but not that way.' I replied honestly.
'Okay, just asking. But there isn't anyone you like at the moment?'
'Nah, nobody caught my eye.' I shrugged.
'That's fine. Love can be slow. It can take some to find the right one. Like me and your dad. He wasn't my first boyfriend.' She said.
'Mooooom!' I whined.
'Hey, it's true. I've been with a lot of boys who've treated me like I was some piece of shit.'
That caught a little of my interest. 'Really? What did they do?' I asked.
Mom looked at me, then away. She opened her mouth to say something, but something stopped her. She bit her lip and closed her eyes tightly. Then she shook her head.
'Just... go to your room or something. Play some video games. Like that one you were lately playing. What was it? The first of us?' She asked in a cracking voice.
'The Last Of Us.' I replied. 'But what did they do to you?'
She blinked a few times. 'Just go.' She whispered and walked away to her room. She closed the door with a bang. I went after her. I heard her cry at the other side of the door. I knocked on the door.
'Mom, can I come in?' I asked.
'No!' She said at the other side. Her voice made me feel a little rebellion and I opened the door. She was sitting on the floor with her back against her bed. I sat down next to her and embraced her. She leaned with her head on my shoulder and sobbed silently.
'What did those assholes do, mom?' I whispered. 'What did they do to make you cry after all those years?'
She just shook her head. Then it hit me.
'D-did t-they r-ra-' She nodded.
'W-wow.' I whispered. I pulled her closer. I took a minute before I said something.
'You should forget them. Look at how happy you are. You have dad. You have Esperanza, Destiny and me. What did you say sometimes?' I asked.
'The past is in the past. Move on.' She sighed.
'Exactly. Move on. Forget about it.'
She nodded. 'You're right. I need to get over it and live my life. I won't live forever. It's just that it feels like it happens all over again whenever I think about it.'
'Then think about other stuff. The day you met dad, your first date with him, the day he proposed, your wedding, our birthday.'
She smiled. 'Those were some of the best days of my life.'
'That's what I mean! Foeget the bad and remember the good!' I said.
She chuckled a little. 'Since when are you so smart?'
'I've always been smart.' I replied.
She laughed and rubbed the top of my head. 'Just like your dad.' Then she sniffed. 'Smells like the cake is done.'
'We need to get it out or it will burn.' I said. I got up and stick out my hand to pull her up too. I went to the kitchen before her and opened the oven. The cake had a nice golden brown color.
'Wait! Lucas, your ha-' I took the cake form and pulled it out of the oven before she could end. I hold up the cake and looked at her confused.
'What's wrong?' I asked.
'Isn't it hot?' She asked hesitating.
'No, why?' I said.
'You don't wear oven gloves.'
I looked at my hands. They were bare. I put the stop in the sonk and let some cold water fill it. When the water level was high enough I closed the tap and carefully placed the cake in the sink to cool down.
'Didn't it burn your hands?' She asked. I turned my hands around with the palm up. She took one of them and looked closely.
'Nothing.' She mumbled. She looked me in my eyes. 'You are fireproof like your dad.' She said.
'I guess that's a good thing?' I asked.
'Of course!' She said a little excited. 'You think you can make fire too?'
I looked at my hand and imagined a small flame in the middle of my palm. A flame appeared, although it was smaller than I wanted.
'Look at that! My little boy has powers!' Mom laughed.
'Guess I do, mom.' I smiled.
'Oh, your father should hear about this!' She said excited.
I laughed. 'Mom! It's just summoning a little fire! That's not much!'
'You can use it to make a fire to keep others warm. You will never have it cold. And when you're older, you could be a fireman. There won't be a fire you can't go through to save people. That is much.'
'Yeah, okay. You're right.' I said. I glanced at the clock. It was already six.
'Dad will come up soon with Za-Za and Des will be here in half an hour.' I thought aloud.
'And they will be here at eight.' Mom added.
'Mom, we're home!' I heard Za-Za shout.
'We're in the kitchen!' I shouted back.
'What do I smell?' Dad said when he came in. His eyes landed on the cookies and his immediately reached out to take one. I slapped his hand.
'Visitors.' I said only.
'Ah, yeah. That's right.' Dad said. He kissed my mom on her lips and I looked away.
'Find a room.' I mumbled.
'Who is co- Oh shit!' Esperanza shouted when she saw mom and dad and covered her eyes.
'Oh, you will do this too when you find someone.' Mom said.
'Tsk, all guys are suckers.' She rolled her eyes.
'Hey!' Dad and I protested.
'Most of them.'
'Thank you.' I said.
'No problem.'
'Hey, dad? Can you make your famous tacos?' Za-Za asked.
'Sure. Anybody who wants to help me?' Dad said.
'Me!' I said.

This is probably my longest chapter ever.

Hope you liked Lucas! If you didn't noticed, Za-Za is Esperanza's nickname and Des Destiny's. Next chapter will be mostly Angelina, then Destiny and at last Esperanza. Why her as last? To tease this certain person ;) You know that I'm talking about you XD

SOTC: Fix You - Coldplay

QOTC: Favourite band? And your favourite song of them?

AOTC: Currently Panic! At The Disco. Can't choose between Girls/Girls/Boys, Hallelujah, Let's Kill Tonight and Nicotine. But I think Girls/Girls/Boys.
