It had been a week since the library meeting. After our initial idea, we didn't get a chance to speak about a project again.

During the weekday teachers started to crack down on preparing for our exams. We were all so swept up by the immense overload of information for the exams.

The week was surprisingly calm. There were no quarrels between Ava and Lexi. Melissa seemingly kept to herself and barely bothered me. For some reason it felt like it was the calm before the storm.

Once again it was Saturday and it was a quiet day. The sun pushed through the clouds, shining brightly making it feel like the January month was spring.

Sprawled out on the sofa in the living room, with Ava doing the same on the other sofa. We were both glued onto our phones, gormlessly flicking through our phones to help pass the time.

Mum strolled into the living room, waving her hand for me to make space on the sofa, she then sat her self down next to me.

"Right girls, who wants to come and see the new office?" Dad chimed aloud, as he entered the living room.

The three of us sheepishly looked at each other and then to my dad, who with wide eyes, was waiting for to reply.

At first I was the first to decline, but a sudden thought shot into my head. With dads new office with Brian, there was bound to be some supplies lying around for our business project.

"I'll come along dad." I replied hopping up from the sofa.

"Ava?" My dad asked, hoping she would agree.

"I'm not going if the devils spawn is going to be there." Ava mumbled.

My dad let out a disappointed sigh. "Ava! What did I tell you? I thought you were going to squash what ever problem you had."

"But-"

"Robert sweetie." My mum but in, not allowing Ava to speak. "We are going to go shopping, you and Hannah go ahead."

I carefully studied my mother. I knew there wasn't a plan for her and Ava to go shopping, but she always said the right words to ensure no fights erupted.

"Okay then, you girls have fun. Come on Hannah." My dad replied not thinking much of it, and waved for me to follow him.

As I sat in the passenger seat, with my dad driving along the narrow lanes of the town. My eyes followed closely of the moving buildings, that seemed to be a mush of colours as they zoomed past.

I was now pressured to think of what I would be doing for my main art work for the exams. I had to be elaborate and think outside of the box. Yet, it felt like many thoughts were squashed inside my brain, there were no clear thoughts or ideas I could pinpoint.
