Moments of love.

Chapter 3

Pancakes ? i thought. I quickly washed up, changed and saw Eddy at the dining room.

" Hey sis .." he called, " Morning " i yawned and stretched my arms vividly.

" Mum ? " i asked, the house was quiet almost like empty.

" Groceries. " Eddy answered, he took a bite into his pancake.

" Who made this ?" i blinked and saw a plate of pancakes.

" Dad. " he murmered. I stunned, dad? Him? A scene flashed in my mind. I sighed.

I headed to the fridge and poured myself some cold water. Well , he can afford pancakes but not my education ? Hpmh .

" Yo Em ! Guess what ? " Julia squealed into the phone.

" What ? " i stubbornly replied as i munched on some crackers, some bits dropped onto the floor.

" Today we're gonna go PARTY !! " Julia screamed .

I thought my ears were gonna burst. " JULIA ! " i yelled back. 

" Whose party ?" i then asked , holding the phone a little further incase she blasted again.

" LAUREN'S! And Chris will be there too ! My class and yours ! " i stunned.

" So meet you at 6 at my place ! " she squealed again, lucky the phone wasnt too near. I sighed and hung up. PARTY?! Like today? Chris is gonna be there? OMGOMG what should i wear .. Many questions bombarded my mind like nobody's business.

I glanced at the clock , 5:38PM.

I took a quick shower and headed to my closet, opening it i scanned the entire cabinet for a suitable outfit. Its honestly my first party , what the hell should i wear? I scratched my head. Arghh i facepalmed at how dumb i was. I quickly text Julia :

Julia wth shuld i wear ? ._.

she replied :

Anyth ! Its gna be so fun yeah ! 

I sighed , i quickly took a oversized top and paired it with denim shorts. I put on my sneakers and headed to the door.

" Whe're your going? " Eddy stopped me and stared at me from head to toe.

" Lauren's , shes having some party " , he nodded unintrestingly then went back to his tv. 

Whats up with him ? I glanced again at the clock 5:57PM , oops i better run. I bolted out and brisk walked to Julia's.

A tall glass building greeted me, looks like those office buildings.

I went up to her floor and rang her door bell.

An old lady greeted me , her face was filled with wrinkles, and her hair was all white.

" Hey , im looking for Julia. " i asked politely. " Oh she's in her room, come in. " she gave me a smile which showed more wrinkles.

After waiting for Julia for almost half an hour, due to her makeup/changing of clothes rapidly like a damsel in distress, we finally reached Laurens.

" HEY GUYS ! " Lauren hugged both of us and grinned, " Come in ! " .

We stepped into her big apartment, a disco ball hung from her "two storey high" ceiling.

Her house was really HUGE , for an apartment ? More like a mansion i thought.

I glanced around and spotted many of our classmates. Vicky and Karen saw us and waved.

" Its cool right ? " Karen smiled shyly, trying to 'break the ice'.
