"Vanessa" I knock on her bedroom door.

"Come in" She says and I do to see her writing in a book.

"Hey Luce" she smiles and I take a seat on the side of her bed.

"What's t- that ?" I ask looking at her book and she puts down her pencil.

"My diary" she answers

"I h-had a d-diary when I was y-younger but my m-mom b-burned it w-when my f-father died" I say and Vanessa rubs my shoulder.

"Nessa" I look at my hands then at my sister.

"Yeah ?" She answers

"I th-think I like C-Cody" I say and her jaw drops.

"Really ?" She asks

"Y-yes I k-know I'm d-dumb for liking h-him b-but .." my voice trails off when we hear a knock on the door.

We both walk downstairs to see Cody with a basket.

"Hey" he waves at us and we look at each other then smile.

"What's in the basket mister ?" Vanessa asks and I start to laugh.

"Lunch" Cody answers

"Thought you girls might want to have a picnic" he says

"Is this a date for Lucy and you ?" Vanessa asks looking at the pink roses.

".. yeah but I didn't want to be rude and exclude you, so wanna join ?" He asks politely and Vanessa shakes her head.

"I'll chill at home; don't want to miss the new season of riverdale" Vanessa smiles and I smile back.

"Have fun kids, also Cody if you hurt Lucy or have anyone hurt her I will hurt you" Vanessa hollers as we walk out the door.

"Be safe and remember have her home by 8" she says

"Will do" Cody says and I laugh.
