April's P.O.V
"No way!!" Emma laughs loudly "Don't you remember when Alya told her off?" She asks us and we all laugh as Alya says "I did do that"
Emma, Alya, Mars, Tristan, Danielle, Chad, Zoe, Mindy and I are seated at our favourite booth in Lulu's, eating pizza and talking.
"You should have seen the look on her face" I squeal, still laughing
By eating pizza and talking, I meant; eating pizza, talking and laughing loudly.
"Hey guys" Candice; Lulu's granddaughter that is in her early thirties walks down to us.
We call her Lulu 3
"Think you could keep it down a little bit? Some people are complaining" She pleads
"Yes, Lulu 3!!" The nine of us yell and Candice chuckles a bit before going to attend to other people.
"Okay.. So are you all gonna be there?" I ask
"2nd May?" Mindy asks and I nod "I dunno about that. I'll be going over to my Grandparents for the new month whatever" She frowns
"I'll be there" Mars says and we stare at him
"It is your job to be there" Chad rolls his eyes "I'll come"
"I'll be there" Danielle announces
"You obviously would be" Mars fake yawns and Chad flips him off
"I'll be there" Alya and Tristan say at the same time
"I don't know guys" Zoe drags "My Mum is.." She starts struggling
"Zoe.. It's cool" I say when it looks like she can't continue
"I'm sorry" She sighs
"It's fine" I smile before turning a little on my seat "What about you?" I ask, putting another slice of pizza on my plate the same time Alya and Danielle did.
Emma looks up from her phone to see us all staring at her "Me?" She asks "Oh yeah.. Me" She clears her throat
"Is any other person surprised that she finally realized she was the one being spoken to?" Tristan asks, raising his hand a little beside his head
"Oh, you shut up" Emma says, giving him the stink eye "Now, as I was saying.." She gives Tristan an exaggerated stink eye before turning to smile at me "I'm not sure yet, I'll check my schedule"
"Let me help you do that now" Tristan says "Look at Danielle's plate" He smirks and obviously we all look over at Danielle's plate.
Danielle's empty plate.
"Hey!" Danielle nudges Tristan hard as I stifle my laughter
"Har har. Hello, Comedy Central" Emma rolls her eyes
"You guys should just get married already" Alya laughs
"I know, right?" Mindy laughs "Such an old married couple" She rolls her eyes and we all laugh.
Well, except Tristan and Emma who were busy trying to kill each other with their murderous eyes and glares.
Hilarious
"2nd May is Noah's birthday as well as the party" I say, directing it at Emma "We're celebrating it too"
"What?" She yells.
She looks around immediately and clears her throat
"I mean- pfft- Okay" She tries, but fails to look like it doesn't matter
"Nobody's buying it" Zoe calls while typing away furiously on her phone.
Emma gives me a small smile
"You know what April?" She asks "I decided that whether or not my schedule is full, I'll surely make time for you and Mars" She smiles cheekily and I laugh
