Chapter 43

Next morning, before breakfast, after informing Reina that we're going for the morning jog, we were almost on our way out the door when we bumped into someone. "Dad!" the twins and Leo said and shook the man's hand. He was smiling and had the twins' eyes. "Hey champs! Sorry I couldn't catch you yesterday! How're my boys!" he said and then pulled them to a hug. "We're great dad! Uh we want to introduce you to Kiara and Amaya here, our best friends!" said Nate and pulled us both to the front. "Hello sir. Pleasure to meet you!" Amaya and I said together. "Pleasure! Any friend of my boys is a friend of mine! Where are you lot going eh?" he asked us. "Jogging!" said Leo. "Well then, don't let me keep you waiting! I'll see you later! Banner can't wait to see you either! He's been excited since last week when he heard you were coming!" he chuckled and let us go out. "Let's go!" said Greg and we went down out. We decided that we would jog around the entire complex, one because the boys would see how much the area has changed and we would see the difference in environment. "Good thing this place has a good path to jog on! My legs needed the exercise!" I said while looking at Amaya. "Yeah, it's bigger than the park we went during weekends!" she said. She had already started panting. "Seriously! We just finished one HUGE round and how are NOT tired! I mean like, even though you have that and stuff, but how are not sweating!" she asked, slowing down a little. "Depends on how much we exert ourselves Amaya!" said Greg and slowed down a little to fall in step with her. I made eye contact with Nate and he gave me a smirk which meant: "Let's go before they find out!" I nodded and said the same thing to Leo. He slowly looked back, and nodded at me. The three of us ran a little faster and soon, Greg and Amaya looked like tiny dot from the distance we were from them. "Anyway, you two can carry on! Guess I'm starting to lose my energy as well. Either way, you two are the ones which pretty much unlimited energy!" Nate said as we had almost finished the third round. "If you say so! See you later!" I waved at him and me and Leo and I continued on. "How are we the only ones who can last so long?" I asked him. "No idea, but I don't mind!" he said and smiled. "Oh by the way, do you swim?" he asked as we slowed down near the sports area of the building. "Yeah, why?" I asked. "Wanna go swimming day after tomorrow?" he asked me. "Who says no to swimming!?" he replied. He was right about that, I mean like, who can refuse to swim in the amazing weather. "Fine!" I said and we went up the elevator. 

"So what are you kids planning to do after lunch?" Mr. Anderson asked when were eating. "We were planning to show Kiara and Amaya around the area!" said Greg. "Oh and after that?" Reina asked. "We're taking them down memory lane!" said Nate. "Memory lane?" Amaya repeated. "Oh the photo room!" said Leo. "That room is like literally filled with pictures arranged according to timeline! The boys helped us in that of course!" said Mr. Anderson. "Cool!" I said an continued eating. And once again after lunch, we set out, but this time, out of the building.

Roaming for what felt like hours, but only actually felt like few minutes with my best friends, we decided to get ice cream. "Let's go to Day Delight!" said Nate as we were pondering on where to go. "NO! Anything but Day Delight!" said Leo at once. All of us turned to look at him, me and Amaya in surprise, but the twins, smirking. "Uh why not?" I asked him. "He's probably afraid of Everly!" said Greg, and before he could stop himself, started laughing. "Who's-" Amaya began but I stepped on her foot before she could say something. She looked at me, trying not to scream, but her eyes said 'I'll get you back for that!!' I shrugged and hung back. Leo noticed and came back and walked next to me. "Everly and her mom are one of the people who stay at the apartment as well. They opened a desert shop on the street. But how many ever times they try to get into our good books, they ALWAYS end up annoying us!" he said. I smiled slightly to myself. He put his arm around my shoulders like he always does. "Come on slow pokes!" I heard the twins and Amaya shout as we reached a cutesy shop. When we entered, a high-pitched girl's voice rang straight through my enhanced senses that I had to literally block my ears with my hands. "Leo Boo!" I saw even the twins doing the same, and Leo closing his eyes tight and two arms literally squeezing him.
