Flirtationship

Chapter 1

Black! That's what I see right now. Well, not that I am blind or something, but it's pitch black in here. I am in my own house sneaking in like Jerry to get back to my mouse hole (my room) without Tom noticing me.

You may want to know who is playing Tom? I would say the answer to that is my Mother.

As I entered the hallway, I saw the staircase to the right which leads to first floor and to my room (Goal!). I sighed in relief at the thought of my room only a couple of stairs away.

It is pretty dark in here and the only source of light is from the street lamps, pouring in through glass windows in the passage. I walked a little slower and steadily hoping to make it to the staircase without waking anybody up and then getting caught in the process. Getting caught by my mother would be the worst situation I could think of getting in right now. May be I am exaggerating but it's close to a nightmare. I shuddered at the thought of it and focused back on 'mission mouse-hole'.

After few seconds of walking like the James Bond, I made it to the steps successfully and started doing a little victory dance. Now, that was easy.

I was about to place my feet on the first wooden plank, when the lights flickered on.

Uh-oh. Busted!

My eyes widened. I took in a deep breath, my heart started beating faster than its usual speed. Mom is close behind me, isn't she? Of course she is. It happens the same way in every movie. Oh my god Allie! Stop talking to yourself.

I gulped hard and ever so slowly, I turn around and my eyes widened more (if that is even possible) as I take in the sight of person standing in front of me. I was so right. Stupid movies.

"Do you know what time it is?" She asked calmly with her lips shut tight in a line and glared at me. May be she was talking quietly because she didn't want my Papa and elder brother to wake up I guess?

No. No don't get it all wrong. That is just the silence before the storm. She folded both her arms on her chest, patiently waiting for me to reply.

"Umm H-hey mom" I replied sheepishly. I am so dead now.

6 hours ago....

"Shut up and get out of your bed Allie!" yelled Shanaya, my best friend slash neighbor from the other end of the call. I groaned in return at the loud voice and not wanting to leave this little heaven on earth, MY BED!

 "It's 6 in the evening Allie. Which person in his right state of mind sleeps at this time of day?" She asked annoyed.

 I took off the covers and sat up on the bed, rubbing my eyes with the back of my fist, still sleepy with a little drool on my chin and bird's nest on my head. I had an amazing dream of Johnny Depp and me sailing on his Black Pearl when, suddenly my phone started vibrating and snapping me out of my dream to real world. Pretty annoying, isn't it? When you dream of one Hotshot sexy man alive on this planet and something just wakes you up at that right moment. Ugh.

 "Well, I sleep. Now, what do you want?" I whined after a yawn.

Yes, you guessed it right. I am one hell lot of a deep sleeper. It's something I do when I am lonely and jobless, which is, most of the time. And after having one long day completing lots of homework and notes, it is only fair to take a small nap.

"Don't tell me you forgot again?" She asked.

Uh-oh.

"Umm what?" I asked back confused.

There was a long pause before Shanaya sighed deeply which made me even more curious. I tried to rewind all event that happened during this past one day, week and month. No nothing. I don't remember forgetting anything.
