Contract Agreement With My Bestfriend

Chapter 19: New Year

So after three days, I decided to stop hiding and went back home.

My mom wasn't really upset with me. It was actually the opposite.

She's kinda acting weird.

She's whispering something on my brother's ear.

Are they keeping a secret from me?

"So Tori is a really beautiful girl, isn't she?" She said a little louder.

She's not even talking to me. She's talking to Oli. What's her deal?

Oli nodded and made a goofy smile.

"Mom, do you need help in the grocery?" I asked ignoring the atmosphere from them.

"Yeah sure.. by the way, how is Tori doing? Will she celebrate new year with us?" She asked

"Yeah I invited her over. I think she will. Her parents are not around and I just thought it will be nice to have her with us." I replied casually.

"That's great! The more the merrier. Sarah's parents are joining us too." She said estatically.

Of course..

We heard a few knocks at the door.

Oli open it and there go Sarah.

She kiss Oli's cheeks and went inside.

I just gaze at her as she enters.

She's still ignoring me.

"Hey Aunt Liza, I heard you're going to the supermarket? I thought I could come and help you." She offered smiling.

"Great.. Via is going to help us too." My mom replied.

She just nodded but still didn't give me any attention.

I sighed.

I decided to go in my room to changed.

I look at my own reflection in the mirror. I looked at the necklace I was wearing.

"Olivia and Sarah friends forever? Really?" I said while I decided to cover it with my shirt sadly.

I ended up calling Tori.

She was more than happy to join us for New year's eve. I guess at least I'll have her.

After a few minutes, I heard a knock at the door.

"Yeah wait a sec.." I replied while getting off my bed.

I open the door and it was Sarah knocking.

She was really cold. I can't read her expression.

"Y-yeah.. what's up?" I asked hesitantly.

"Your mom wants to know if you're ready for groceries." She said coldly.

"Yeah.." I said smiling.

She just turn around and left.
