Lyria POV

"This and that... Oh! We must certainly buy this one," I swooped the packet of definitely-must-buy rainbow sprinkles with limited-edition gummy rabbits marshmallows from the bottom shelf before plonking it into our half-filled basket of marshmallows.

"That is a lot..." Aranda gawked at the basket as I whisked away with Inez to the cashier counter.

" That's because there's a lot of kids at the orphanage," I heard Berlin replied before the two of them followed behind us.

₩e, the girls, were currently buying marshmallows on a Saturday afternoon, as you know, to put into egg-shaped containers, that the boys were currently buying at 'AIDS'.

To put it simply, we're preparing the items for the egg hunt.

"Away we go back to Lyria's house," and we bounced away to my house.

"Man, I almost forgot how slippery your house was," Bryce held onto my arm as we slid across the living room to the safety of the living room mat where the living room table was.

" Wait here while I go to my bedroom and fetch my water bucket, palette, paintbrushes and, of course, paint," I scampered up the stairs to my bedroom as I slid my way through and rummaged through my cupboard.

I plonked on a seat when I returned with all of the items.

"So, how would you all like to paint these eggs?" Rain asked.

"I totally have those shiny colours and ribbons in my house..." I cocked an eyebrow at Bryce as he flashed me a sheepish smile.

"Or maybe we could choose an easter-themed colour like... pastel blue and yellow?" Berlin suggested as Rain nodded his head vigorously. You've got a really supportive boyfriend there, Berlin.

" How 'bout designs?" Christian asked and everyone was deep in thought.

" OMAGAWD!" I screamed in excitement and everybody shot up. Bryce narrowed his eyes at me when I almost made him slide off his chair.

"We should check Aspen Williams' blog for inspiration in designing," and at once, the girls squealed with their eyes wide while the boys furrowed their eyebrows in confusion.

"You DON'T KNOW who's she?" Berlin shouted in Rain's ear, bewildered.

" She's... a worldwide best selling artist... known for her watercolour paintings..." Aranda dramtically explained to her twin brother as she tried to create a mysterious atmosphere.

As the girls continued to feed the boys with more insights about Aspen Williams, my favourite artist, I scrambled up to my bedroom again to fetch my Macbook to visit her blog.
