so baby now we've got bad blood, you know it used to be mad love 🎶 now take a look at what you've don-

The morning sun was high up the sky when Cleo's alarm rang. She muffled through the sheets to find her phone and shut it down.

Not being a morning person, she sets it to ring at 9 am, 9:10 am, 9:15 am, 9:20 am and 9:30 am, yet still finds herself sleeping through all of them. This morning was different though.

'Cley Cley! Food's ready, come down now!' she heard Natasha, her mom, call her in a loud voice.

Cleo hated it when her mom called her Cley Cley, it made her feel like a 7-year old.

'Oh mom, for goodness' sake, I'm 19 now. Stop calling me that childish nickname.' Cleo said as she rushed down the stairs.

'Awww, Cley Cley's mad. Are you mad at me, baby Cley Cley? Are you mad at your mommy? Don't do that or else mommy might cry cry.' her mom said in a teasing voice.

'OMG mom, you sound gross.' Cleo said as she rolled her eyes

'Good morning, girls. Is there a problem here or what?' Cleo's dad, Robert, greeted as he kissed his two girls on their cheeks.

'Nah, nothing. Mom was just being childish.' Cleo blurted out.

'Aww, you two should stop fighting over such nonsensical stuff and y'all should cheer up because we're gonna be celebrating New Year's Eve at Fuente Circle later!' her dad said excitedly.

'What's so great about that?' Cleo asked.

'Well, we could really bond together and all. Plus, the fireworks display there is superb.'

'Oh, alright. May I help mom cook the food for later?' Cleo willingly offered.

'Sure you may, sweetie. The more hands working on it, the better. Meanwhile, I'll be calling some relatives to join us later.' her dad said.

That being said, the three got to work, excited for the night's events.
