"The zoo?" I asked looking at the twins while tilting my head to the side.
"Yeah it'll be a great chance for you to meet our friends" Kaoru said and I looked at the ground thinking for a second.
"I-I don't know..." I mumbled and looked back up at them. "I have something important to do."
"Again?" Hikaru stated looking slightly upset. "Is this thing so important that you had to leave me at the lake all alone?" He continued and I felt a ping of guilt as he walked away. I heard a sigh and turned to face Kaoru.
"Sorry about Hikaru. He doesn't know how to control his feelings." Kaoru said giving me his most sincere smile.
"I'm sorry I can't go. It would have been an amazing chance to meet your friends and spend some more time with each other" I said.
"It's fine. Hey! Maybe we can plan something for the weekend so you can meet our friends" Kaoru said looking super excited.
"Hmm..Sure!" I said beginning to feel a bit happier. Kaoru took out his phone and handed it to me.
"Type in your phone number so I can take you later about the plans" Kaoru stated and I did as I was told. I checked it once I was done typing and handed it back to him. He typed in something and then placed the phone in his pocket. "I better go and catch up with my brother" Kaoru said giving me one last smile.
"Okay Kaoru, Bye." I said as he went past me after his brother. I stared for a while before I made my way home.
"Woof!" Bella excitedly ran to my feet as I entered the house.
"Hey Girl!" I said rubbing her head as I took off my shoes. I walked into my kitchen, grabbing a can of my favorite drink and a bag of pretzels before walking to my living room. I grabbed my laptop from the coffee table and opened it, turning on skype. My skype suddenly gets a call and I answer, pressing the video chat button.
"Hey Sister from another mother!" A girl with long red hair in a ponytail and her red/orange eyes staring at the screen happily. She had 3 piercings in her hair, a tank top that said 'I 3 Rock & Roll' and a pair of blue jeans. It was my best friend Alex who was in German.
"Alex! Finally you have time to talk to me~ I thought you left me" I joked cracking a smile as she looked fake hurt.
"How could you ever think that?! I couldn't talk to you with my grandparents around. We're too weird and they'll think we're mentally insane together" She explained and I just sighed.
"They probably already think you're crazy. Anything new with life?" I asked considering it's been three months since we talked over skype.
"Well there is this guy and he's extremely cute and nice. We have lots in common, but there is one problem. He has a major drinking problem" Alex said looking a bit upset.
"How old and how bad of a drinking problem?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Twenty years old...He was so drunk that he told me that a girl tried getting in his pants while he was intoxicated and then minutes later totally forgot what we were talking about."
"One, you're sixteen and he's twenty. Two, What the fuck do you get yourself into" I said and she only rolled her eyes.
"Or really? Did anything happen in your exciting life?" Alex asked and I felt my cheeks grow hot.
"Well I met this guy...yesterday" I said and she leaned in close to the camera, now interested.
"Oooo! Mami getting some booty!" Alex screamed and I hushed her.
"His name is Hikaru and he has a twin brother name Kaoru. Though..I think Hikaru is mad at me" I told her and she sighed.
"You always had trouble getting guys. What did you do now?"
"Him and his brother invited me to the zoo to meet their friends, but I rejected the invite because I promised to call you" I explained and her my messenger ringtone.
"Message! Maybe it's the guy!" Alex said giggling like a little girl. I opened my phone and saw a random message.
XXX-XXX-XXXX: Hey! This is Kaoru!
"Nah it's the brother" I said and saved his number in my contacts list.
Me: Hey Kaoru! Glad you're texting me!
"You gotta take a picture with the twins one day and send it to me! I may fall in love with the brother" Alex said giving me a wink before laughing her ass off. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
"I thought you like guys older than you? Their sixteen as well" I said and her shoulders slumped in disappointed.
"Damn..." She mumbled and I heard another message.
Kaoru: Awesome! ;) Want to plan the event for the weekend
Me: Sure! Do you have anything in mind?
"So, what's the chat leading to?" Alex asked seeming a little left out.
"We're planning on an outing for this weekend so I can met his friends."
Kaoru: I was talking with my other friends and we were thinking about having a picnic at that lake you showed Hikaru the other day (btw we aren't telling Hikaru just yet about the event)
Me: Oooo! A picnic sounds fun!
Kaoru: Great! I'll message you later about more details (Hikaru also NOT mad at you ;) )
Me: Good to know! He's a nice friend :) How is eight o'clock sound?
Kaoru: Good! Ttyl
Me: Byee
"Okay! So we're planning a picnic" I told Alex as I put down my phone.
"A picnic? Since when was the last time YOU went on a picnic?" Alex asked raising an eyebrow. I thought for a minute and shrugged.
"Second grade family picnic?" I said totally unsure.
"God, you're a hopeless mess" Alex mumbled and then heard the sound of a door opening. "Got to go! Grandparents are home!" Alex said ending the video call. I sighed closing my laptop before grabbing the remote and continued to drink and eat my snacks as I watched my favorite show.
