"Hi is Ramona home?" I ask Stephanie when I walk in with Hazel out of the corner of my eye I Max and he is slowly backing away into the kitchen. "Is Max here?" Hazel asks looking around the living room. "He was here just a minute ago I thought. Max?" Stephanie calls out. "Umm I will find him Hazel you can come with me. Ramona is upstairs I think so is Jackson." Stephanie says. As I walk up the stairs I see my little sister give me the most obnoxious wink I've ever seen. I get up to Ramona's room and knock on the door. "Oh hey Emily!" Ramona says. "Hi who is this?" I ask pointing over to a tall asian with black hair. "Oh this is my friend Lola! Lola this is Emily!" Ramona says. "Hi nice to meet you." Lola shakes my hand. "Hey I'm going to go get Jackson and we can all do something together." Ramona says and leaves. "Ramona is really nice isn't she?" I ask Lola "Yeah yeah she is. Hey do you want to come to my birthday party next Saturday? It's a fancy attire party so wear your best!" Lola says handing me an invitation. "Sure I'll ask my mom when I get home." I tell her. "And I'm starting school on Monday with you guys to." I say. "Cool just stay away from Jackson ok?" She asks in a friendly tone but mean at the same time. "Ok I'll do that..." I say trailing off. Oh Ramona hurry up please.
