Now, you might be wondering why I changed the title and cover. Well, I found it a better suit for the last few chapters I have planned -and basically the whole book.

I've been waiting to write this chapter for so long 😆. Writer's block sucks..

Skylor's POV (*le gasp*)

After finishing my meeting, or 'helping the clueless', as I like to call it,
I went home just to see my father sitting on the couch, as always..

As soon as he saw me, his eyes slightly widened in surprise. "Ah, Skylor! Welcome back! Come, let's see the Elemental Games together! I've even got some Strawberry Yoohoo!" He squealed. It's this TV show again.. He loves watching it for some weird reason.. and he even started to wear that stupid hat ever since I told him he looked alike the host of this reality show.

"Uh, no thanks, dad. Maybe next time.." I awkwardly tried to run up the stairs.

I got into my room and lazily belly-flopped onto my bed.. I didn't even bother to change to my pajamas. School has been pretty hard and considering we'll have to take tests pretty soon, I better start studying now..

I lazily got up and went to my desk, opening my math book.. And boy, is it boring.. Suddenly, I heard my phone ring. I got up my chair and searched inside the backpack as I got it out.

"Uh, hey sis, I kinda need advice on something, if you could just maybe help me out?" I heard a familiar voice through the speaker. Oh shoot.. Grabbed the wrong phone, didn't I?

"Heyyy Kai.." He slightly gasped as soon as I said this.

"O-oh hey Sky! Uh, why do you have my sister's phone? Don't tell me.."

"Duh, she's in the bathroom!" I exclaimed. "And trust me, as your girlfriend, I promise I'll work it out this time!"

"It better not be like that last one.. It's like he was a drug dealer.."

"Come on! I promise not to use a dating site this time! You'll love it!" I defended myself. I mean, I only got her in trouble like once. It was not that big of a deal!

"I question my love for you sometimes.." He sighed. "Talk to you later.. Love you.."

"Bye!"

'Well, at least that reminded me of something I needed to do..' I smirked at myself. I saw Nya's notifications and went to stalk her text messages. Looks like mystery guy left the same message.. I'm going to have fun with this..

"Uh, well, this is awkward isn't it..?"

Yeah, I guess so.. And yeah, why not? Where do you wanna meet?

"Well, I know a nice noodle shop in the city center.. And an extra activity would be a good idea!" Hey, I gotta make some money, you know..

Oh, uh, great! See you there at 7!

"Yeah, see ya!"

Boy, if she doesn't love this, then I don't know if she deserves my friendship.. Well, I still have to go and give her phone back, so I better go do that now. Studying can wait for now. But then again, trying to avoid my father's fanboying will be much harder..

Nya's POV

"You did what?!" I shouted at my best friend.

"What? That's what you wanted, wasn't it?" She smirked. "I just did it for you. Oh, your brother called you, by the way"

"Ugh, never mind that! I wasn't expecting you to actually do it!" I pouted. I mean, she has done it before, but come on! To a friend?!

"Then you don't know me well enough!" She playfully stuck her tongue out. I sometimes question our friendship.. "Now go get dressed, cause it's 6 and you don't want to be late just because of me giving you a makeover!" She started pushing me towards the closet. A what? No, no, no I'm not okay with this..

She started pulling some clothes out,
giving me information about the date all the way through. I think I know that location, but she better not have planned what I'm thinking about.
In the end, I finally convinced her to wear some casual clothes, but I of course had to wear the golden bracelet she had once given me..

"Aw, look at you finally growing up! Now, just let me do your hai-" She teased me, until I cut her off.

"No.. I'm fine. Just, please let me go now.. I feel too embarrassed.." I pleaded, as I ran my fingers through my raven hair.

"Guess I can't convince you to look pretty for once.." She sighed as I gave her a glare. "My job is done here. Well, for now, but you'll see what I mean later." My best friend winked at me as she started heading towards the door. Well, I guess she's an evil mastermind after all. But then again, she probably took that from her father..

After we said our goodbyes, I started to leave the house as well, my hands trembling a bit. I mean, we're best friends right? It's not like it's going to be fan fiction level of awkwardness.. Right?

I decided to walk there, since it was pretty close to my building. The only thing I grabbed with me -apart from my phone- was money, because I really don't want to have this fight over who's going to pay like in the movies.. I'm really glad I didn't take a bus or something there, because there was lots of traffic. And some of the drivers weren't playing nice.

Once I arrived outside of the restaurant, I took a deep breath before I opened the door. The inside of it was already decorated with Christmas trees, lights and even gingerbread houses. I have to say, that whoever did this, they really have a nice taste. Everything was pretty much the same usual colors, simple, as I like it.

I walked in and noticed that the host was nowhere to be seen, so I went further into the restaurant. I noticed a table in which a familiar face was waiting. I hope I don't mess this up..

"Hey.. I hope I'm not too late.." I awkwardly said as I sat down the table.

"O-oh! Hey..! Don't worry about it! I just came here so-" He reassured me, before he was cut off.

"Hello! Welcome to Chen's Noodle shop! I'll be your waiter for today!" We both looked up from each other and saw.. Skylor. I discreetly gave her a glare to go away, though she just gave me a teasing look. I guess she did do what I was thinking of.. "Okay then! I'll be back in just a minute to take your orders!" She exclaimed, walking away to serve another table.

"You know her?" Jay wondered, making me turn my head to his direction. "Oh, uh, yeah.. We're close friends. She's my brother's girlfriend." I explained. I could tell that both of us where nervous about something or someone to be exact. Unless he knew Skylor, I'm not sure about anything.

"So.." I started. "How has your day been? Are you feeling any better?" I questioned him, noticing the red scarf around his neck. "Okay, I guess. And yes, I do feel better." He informed me. "And I'm sorry I couldn't get you anything but this was pretty sudden and-" He nervously said. "No, no, it's okay! It was really sudden for me as well.." I chuckled.

I could see a certain redhead approaching in the distance and I know it isn't going to end well.. "Hello, again! I couldn't wait, you know, so I made these special noodles for you! They were requested by some other customers! And don't worry about money, I got you covered." My best friend reassured us. I could see that Jay was mentally face palming about the 'other customers' part, just as I was with the whole situation. We were both getting pretty uncomfortable by now, so we stayed silent until Skylor left.

"Okay. That's it." Jay got up from the table and grabbed my hand, leading me towards the exit. We -luckily- got out without anyone noticing and managed to walk to a nearby park.
He must have realized that we were still kind of holding hands, so he quickly apologized. "I'm sorry! I-I didn't realize.." We sat on a nearby bench. "No, it's okay. I kind of like it.." I slightly scratched the back of my head, our faces both red. We sat in an awkward silence for a bit, until I treid to break it.

"So, you had a helper as well, didn't you?" I chuckled. "Yeah, I guess you could say that. Though they all pushed us a bit too hard by setting us up on this.." I guess I wasn't the only one that got embarrassed after all.
"I have an idea on what to do! Have you by any chance decorated your house for Christmas yet?" He asked me. "Nah, I don't usually decorate for Christmas.." I sighed. "Great! Do you want to do it now? We could go buy some decorations and food as well." He offered. I nodded as we went on a nearby supermarket to not only get ingredients, but some not so little decorations as well.

"Did we seriously have to buy a whole Christmas tree?" I groaned as I was trying to carry it to the living room. "I mean, we had to carry it all the way over here, but forget that, you didn't have to spend money on it."

"Why? Is a Christmas tree too formal for you, miss Nya?" He smirked, helping me set up the tree. Once we
-finally- set it up and started putting on the little ornaments, including the star -which was really funny, considering we almost fell trying to reach the top of the tree-, I found a small box in my closet.

"Well, I do have some leftover decorations Kai brought from Ignacia last year.. Including this." I showed him the box, pulling out a small mistletoe. "Ah, yes. Memories. I remember when I used this to trick my brother and Sky into finally getting together. I shipped them from the very start." I grinned as we both laughed. "You know, you are quite evil now that I think about it.." He put out some other boxes away, preparing the ingredients for that gingerbread house we promised to make. "Hey, I'm a writer. That's what we do for a living." I smirked, putting the box back in its place, while getting out a small recipe book. "About that, how about you make some money out of your books?" I slightly gasped when I heard this. " Uh, what do you mean? This better not be a prank." I crossed my arms. "Trust me, it isn't. You know Zane, right? Well, you know he's dating Pixal, right?" I nodded. "And Pixal's father is Cyrus Borg, the owner of the company you're working in. And guess who he knows!" He exclaimed. "Cliff Gordon himself! And what he's looking for! A new script for a movie! So.. If I tell Zane to tell Pixal to tell Cyrus to tell Cliff.. You could get your books turned into movies!" He
-finally- ended.

"What now?! I don't think that could ever happen." I rolled my eyes, mixing up the ingredients. "And I also don't think we can make this house if we keep eating all the candy.." I giggled, noticing the half-empty bowl of candy next to us. "Trust me! It will work! I promise!" We shook hands, playing our 'professional' roles. After we
finally made that gingerbread house we left it on the table -after we took some nice selfies with it- and sat on the couch. We were getting like a hundred messages and phone calls from our friends and shutting our phones wouldn't help the situation.

"We somehow have to get back at them for doing this to us.." We both started to think. "Let's just take a photo though. We'll figure out what to do later." Jay sighed, pulling out his phone. We got closer together to take the picture as we put our most dramatic faces on, just to tease them a bit. When we were about to take the picture I did something I really regretted. I tried to peck his cheek, just to make this picture more cheesy. But I guess I surprised him a bit, because he turned his face around to say something and.. you can probably guess what happened next..

"Oh my- I-I'm really sorry!" I exclaimed burying my red face in my hands. "No, no i-it's okay.. At least now we have a cheesy picture to send the others.." He raised his shoulders, hitting the send button on his phone. Their responses where the usual things, but they were mad at the same time for us leaving the restaurant. "Do.. you want to go back there?" He asked, turning towards me. I thought for a bit but then sighed. "No.. I want to stay here for a bit more.." I snuggled towards him, resting my head on his shoulder. "As you say. But if they yell at us later, it'll be your fault." He smiled. "Don't care.. I'm just really tired.. Sky will contact me tomorrow after all.." I yawned a bit. We just sat there in silence enjoying the small moments of privacy we had. I eventually blacked out, or more like fell asleep, so my memories aren't very clear. Though it was probably one of the best nights of my life..

Remember when I said that these other ones where my longest chapters? Well BOOM! 2323 words! That's like 500-600 more than my other so called 'longest ones'. And it was a Jaya one!

Now, if you excuse me, I'll go cry over Aquamarine_Igneous's recent chapter of Who's the Sixth..

C ya!
