Hailey's POV

"This dish is superb Daniella. You really are a great cook!" My dad Austin beamed after taking the last bite of his meal while Daniella mouthed an I love you as a response.

Rolling my eyes, I pushed my plate away and looked at Nikki who motioned me for us to escape the table. With that, I asked to excused ourselves. We walked upstairs silently, leaving the two laughing over some lame joke my dad threw.

Pushing the door open, revealed a chaotic room. Clothes thrown everywhere. I couldn't even guessed which were the once I wore and which weren't. The blanket I used remained unfolded, and the pillows were scattered on the bed. I actually hated seeing my room like this but sometimes I was just too lazy to even pick up the mess. My brother used to clean my room everytime he walked in, that was why I wouldn't doubt it if how my night dresses and socks magically made it to the hamper, and how my bed been fixed like a Princess just made an order.

Nikki plunged on my couch that has been nearly covered with clothings I tried earlier, choosing what to wear to school.

"Eh, Hailey. Don't you wanna clean your room first?" She asked, while lifting a printed sock from behind.

It wasn't the first time Nikki went to my room untidy. So, she was not surprised at all, but the thing here right now I guess worried her a bit, like a tornado considered a visit.

I shrugged, taking my sock on Nikki's hand and throwing it back on the floor. "Not now, I guess."

"How about we set a date for a room make over? And a... how to maintain the cleanliness of your room 'seminar'?" Nikki asked, scanning my room for the other pair.

"Sure, but then again.. Not now, okay?" I muttered, as I pulled a drawer open to where I keep a stash of foods.

"So, what do you like? Chocolates, sour gummy worms, marshmallows, Oreo?" I asked.

Nikki hummed and before she could choose I quickly picked Oreo and closed the drawer.

"Wait! I'm not yet done deciding!" She whined as she grabbed a polar bear plushie from behind throwing it to me.

"Ow! I wasn't ready!" I exclaimed, putting the oreo down on top of my study table before picking the same plushie toy and throwing it back to her.

Pillow fight! I thought as we run around my room, dodging every single pillows, plushies, even clothes and...

my missing sports bra? Where did she get this? Whatever... I meant everything that could be thrown.

After that, we spent some more minutes talking about random stuffs while eating Oreos, of course. The room just looked worst than ever but I didn't mind since we were having fun.

"So has your dad opened up yet about a marriage plan?" Nikki asked, taking an Oreo and parting it before licking the vanilla filling.

"As far as I know, no." I answered, relieved. I wouldn't even want that day to come.

"But it will happen, Hailey." She foretold, even if it was ought to happen.

I let out a sigh, "Yeah I know, but whatever... It's not like I care."

"I guess you should. I feel like they're really in love with each other. I mean, love... No one can ever deny that feeling once it already hit you."

I heavily sighed, not because I disagreed on what Nikki had said, but because of the fact that she was right.

Nikki took another Oreo before speaking. "Well, let's talk about Nathan... How is he?"
