The Unwanted Image

Chapter 24: Friends, Music & Fireworks

Friday, November 17

It's been at least four days since my newly met uncle stayed at our house (five if you count today). I really like him, even if he can be an annoying and cocky around me, I still like him.

Anyway, my best friends are coming over at 4:00 PM today and I really want them to meet him! Like I said, I can't really keep secrets from them anymore, so I thought that won't be such a bad idea! ... Right?

~3:05 PM/Guest Room~

Hugo: "Why are your friends coming over?!"

Heather: "What's wrong with that? I can have friends over! It's like you throwing your huge parties back at London, but you do it with people you don't even know!"

Hugo: "Oh, shut up."

Heather: "Make me!"

Hugo: "Fine... I'll try to be nice with your friends..."

Heather: "Actually, two of my best friends and my b-...."

Hugo: "Your what?"

Heather: "My bo- I can't say it..."

Hugo: "Your boyfriend...?"

Heather: "Exactly."

He gave me a confused look and just started to laugh his butt off!

Heather: "What's so funny?!"

Hugo: "You can't say a simple word as "boyfriend"! That's just dumb!"

Heather: "I'm sorry if I can't say that word correctly! Sure, I can say it before I had one, but now, it's hard for me to say it!"

Hugo: "Your parents approve of it?"

Oh no... I totally forgot to tell my parents that me and Russell are actually together now... Yes, they teased me about it before as a joke, but now it's not...

Heather: "Actually, I haven't tell them yet for some reason..."

Hugo: "What?!"

Heather: "I was planning to! But, it didn't cross my mind for some reason!"

Hugo: "Tell them today, since he's coming along with your friends."

Heather: "We'll see how it goes..."

Hugo: "If you don't, I'll just tell them myself."

Heather: "Ha! You were only here not long ago! How can they believe you when I've had a relationship for about a week?"

He grabbed his chin with his thumb and index finger to think cleverly and after awhile he had a grin across his face.

Hugo: "Well, obviously, Emilia would know about this since you consider her as your sister. So, I'll use her as backup."

That's when I jumped out of the small couch angrily and I pointed my finger close to his face.

Heather: "Oh, you're on!"

He moved my finger and got up from the bed and started exciting the door.

Hugo: "Good luck then. You're going to need it."

Before I answered him back, he was already out. That cocky bastard...

~4:05 PM~

Emily and Christopher came over first and I didn't know where Russell was at. So, I texted him.

Message to: Russell

Me: Where you at?
