I look at the posters sticked on the wall. Hazel's taking a shower, Xena went down for awhile, She told me she'll just tell Feliz to prepare dinner for us. Hazel spent a year in the bathroom. I was left alone inside this room and I'm really really bummed so I decided to go down to check where Xena is. I went to the living room and nope, no Xena. To the kitchen and nope, no Xena. To the bathroom and nope, no Xena. Where the heck is she? I went back to the kitchen and asked Feliz if she knows where Xena is.
"I thought she went back to her room?" She replied putting a pan on the stove.
"She did not. I'll just.. Look for her, I guess?" I said leaving her
"Okay."

I went back to her room, and she's not there. I look out the window and saw a girl outside their house. Just standing. I looked close and recognize that it was Xena! I went down and opened the door, I went out.
"Hey!" I said closing the door behind me "I've been looking for you!" She turned to looked at me but did not reply. She's on the phone.
"Ohh yea.. I really like to go but I'm with.. I don't kno-... Okay okay, we will see.. I'll just text you.. Yea.. Okay bye." She kept her phone and said "Let me guess, hazel's not yet done?"
"Definitely." I replied
"That girl take a bath for 190 years!" She said running inside. Wow, I went out to see her then she just left me.

"HAZEL CHANGE YOUR UNDIES BUT NOT THE CLOTHES." Xena said
"You too!" She pointed at me
"Wait, what?" I asked. This girl is up to something. again!
"Just trust me." She said as she open her wardrobe.
I can say that the shower's off and hazel is done because I don't hear the running water anymore.
"CHRIS!" Xena yelled throwing a towel at my face.
"After hazel, take a shower. Wear that again, okay?" She left hugging a towel and clothes then went out "ILL TAKE A SHOWER DOWNSTAIRS." She shouted.
What's with the hurry!?

When hazel went out of the bathroom, she asked me what's with Xena. I told her I have no idea but she's in a rush.

I take my clothes off and put it on top of a cabinet with stocks of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etcetera. I twist the knob of the shower and hot water attacked me. "Shit!" I opened the other knob which I believe is for the cold water. And finally, warm water. I took a bath listening to The Smiths.

It took me 10 minutes for the bath and 5 minutes to put on my clothes. I left the bathroom with the towel hanging on my neck rubbing it on my hair. I put my inner wear inside my bag. I and hazel waited for Xena.
"She's up to something." I said still rubbing my hair with the towel "I saw her awhile ago, talking to someone outside."
"Yea, she is up to something!" Hazel told me.
Suddenly, Xena walked in throwing her dirty clothes in her laundry bag. She locked the door behind her and sat beside me.
"Breathe, Dude!" I said
"Okay, Okay! So. Sabrina called me.." Xena said
"About the party?" Hazel guessed
"Yea! Definitely! They want us to-" xena said excitedly but hazel cut her
"I don't drink."
"Ya, me too. And besides, I'm a total stranger." I added
"Then don't drink, guys!" She replied "Chris, stick with us!"
I and hazel looked at each other. I don't want to go, and I guess she doesn't want to go too.
"Does Aunt Clara know about this?" I asked
"I'll ask for her permission, of course!" She said "she's on her way home."
"I don't know.." I said
"OH CMON GUYS!" She said standing between me and hazel. "We are going to have a lot of fun there! And I'm Sure of it!"
I sighed and said "if you convinced hazel for a yes then okay. Let's go."
Now xena's begging for hazel's yes. She's literally on her knees saying "Please, Hazel. let's go, please please please." Again and again.

After minutes of begging, she finally say yes.
Xena jumped "YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES. SAY HELLO TO 'BEST. NIGHT. EVER."
I smiled, a fake one. And hazel too.

We went down to eat dinner when aunt Clara came home and eat dinner with us too. Josh was asleep according to Feliz.

Aunt Clara and I talked about random things about me and mom and dad which is really awkward because; 1) I dont know how to keep the conversation going 2) we don't talk much. This is like the 2nd time or 3rd I think? And, 3) I don't want to talk about me and my family infront of Xena and hazel.
Xena cut our conversation, which I thank god for, asking for permission about tonight's party.
