Chapter Sixty-two: Charmed to meet you

"Surprise!"

Well, it was the week of thanksgiving and the school was used to the tradition of giving us the whole week free instead of just that Thursday, so here I am, not complaining. 

"What?!" I jumped on her, "What the hell are you guys doing here? I thought you said you were coming Christmas break."

She laughed. "Well that's the whole point of a surprise."

I squeezed her tight, "Shayna, I've missed you so much!"

"Oh, and Shane is just the taxi driver. Pay so he can get going."

I laughed at him as I released Shayna and went to hug him too. "I've missed you, little sis."

"I told you, you can't call me little sis anymore because I'm no longer little, if you haven't noticed."

He laughed and released me. He looked at me from head to toe, "What are you? Like 4 feet?"

I rolled my eyes, "Haha! You're so hilarious."

"One of my charming qualities."

I turned to Shayna, "He's still single, isn't he?"

She chuckled, "Yup."

He snorted, "You two are just jealous. I mean, what's the point of having one girl when you can have all of them."

"Ambitious?" I questioned.

"That's the spirit!"

Then I caught movement behind them, I looked around to see who it was. It was Axel. He was resting on the car flicking through his phone. I turned back to them, "What's he doing here?"

"He brought us here." Shayna replied. 

"Actually, he gave us directions. I'd rather die than breath the same air as that prick."

Before I could inform Shane that Axel wasn't a family enemy anymore, Shayna spoke up. "How can you guys move into this insane house without telling us? Have they given mum a raise or what?"

"Actually..." I trailed off.

How to tell Shane and Shayna that this was Dad's house was going to be a problem. I needed to sit them down and have a conversation.

"Yeah, this house is beautiful. Imagine how our surprise went when we showed up at the door of an empty house." Shane chuckled.

"Yeah, it was Axel that told us that you guys weren't there anymore."

"Well this is just temporary." I muttered under my breath hoping they won't hear me and they didn't. They were too busy marveling in the beauty of the house.

"What's Axel still doing here?" I asked them.

"He wants to talk to you." Shayna replied.

Shane gritted his teeth, "You better not still be pining over him."

"I'm not. We're..." I paused for a while. "We're friends now."

"What?"

I put a hand on his shoulder. "You guys should just go in, I'd be right back."

"But we don't know our way around the house."

"Oh yeah."

Grace and I were in the kitchen. I was helping her with her English, like I had been doing since about 2 weeks now. I had promised her I would during that time when Zane and I broke up, but I wasn't able to until Zane and I got back together. I always did it when no one was at home. Mrs. Brooks hasn't yet agreed for Grace to move in, so I guess I'd try a different approach. I mean, I couldn't sneak her in. We wouldn't be in this house forever.
