Hugs are actually so underrated especially those hugs that are so tight you can literally feel the other person's heart beat and for a moment everything feels so calm and safe like nothing can hurt you.

"Allison, those muffins are mine." I warned. Alison has been annoying me since we've come back from school. My phone was the first thing she took. She started editing my photos to make funny pictures of me and now she is with what I feel like eating now.

"No, they are mine." She laughed hysterically and jumped up with the muffins in her hand. I tried to get it but she quickly bent down and crawled behind me.

"Please." I begged but she just shook her head. I know she is not hungry, she just love to get me annoyed. "Okay, I will give you whatever you want, just give me the muffins."

"You sure?" She asked and I nodded. "These muffins." She shouted jumping up.

"Okay, I will get something else to eat." I declared and turned back to go to the kitchen with the hope that she will give up and I will get back my muffins. The muffins with her are the last ones. I'm just so lazy to go get another ones. I'm hungry and I want those muffins. She can't win this time.

"That would be nice. I will eat these." I turned back abruptly to see her just standing there wiggling her eyebrows and tilting her head. NO, she can't eat what I want. No not happening.

Then we heard the sound coming from the telly.

She is my lady

The one I want to be with

She is just so perfect

The perfect one. Ohhh

Perfect

It's perfect. Its a fashion TV show that Allison can kill for. She has been waiting for the time to watch the show again this week. She just love fashion so much.

"Still coming for you." She said sticking out his tongue. She quickly placed the muffins on the table and ran to the living room. Thank you Lord, now I can eat in peace.

I quickly ate my food and went into my room. I grabbed a novel and started reading. It is a werewolf story I read when I want to sleep. I've never read a story as boring as this.

I dropped it and reached my phone in my pocket, I couldn't find it and then I remembered I left it with Alison. I moved out  of the room to get it.

Alison is still watching her favorite TV show so I didn't want to disturb her. I didn't want to get yelled at for nothing. I sighted my phone and gently reached for it.

I checked the phone and saw that I already have three unread messages from Alisha.

Alisha:
Hello,

Wanna go for a party this Friday night?

It's Hunter's party.

Hmm a party this Friday. Yes I would love to.

Me:
Yes, I will.

Is Adrian coming?

I wanted Adrian to come so that Alisha would also go with me. I'm very sure mum will allow us to go since its Friday.

What can I be doing? I asked myself and it crossed my mind that I should play game. Then I started playing 'my mission' which was the game I felt like playing.

After playing for some minutes, some one barged into my room causing me to gasp in shock.

"Alison, what happened? Why did you barge in like that?" I asked, still in shock. I didn't expect someone normal to walk in to a room like that. What am I even saying? My cousin is not normal.

"How should I walk in. That's the normal way of walking into a room." She said playing with my cheeks. I could tell in the look in her eyes that she was lying. She did it on purpose. Having realised this, I threw the pillow beside me at her.

"Oh, you want pillow fight?" She asked rhetorically. She was giving me the don't-mess-with-me look.

"No!" I quickly exclaimed and she gave a triumphant smirk. I know she always win.

"Guess what?" Its better change the topic before she turns this into an annoying fight again.

"What!" She asked again excitedly jumping on the bed with me.

"I said guess."

"You know I don't guess. Please tell me." She begged shaking my shoulder. This is the way I get her to change the topic. But now, I don't know what to even say to her if I  didn't want her crazy side. Think Lind, think.

"Carey asked me out on a date." I announced. The expression on her face now can not be expressed. "And I said yes."

"O M G." She squealed and pulled me into a tight hug and later released me. She was so happy, giving me that bright and genuine smile I always want. "I told you he likes you."

I groaned inwardly. Alison is one of those who think Carey and I should be together.

"You think it's great?" I asked lazily, already knowing what the answer would be.

"Of course, I'm so happy for you." She said hugging me again. "This is your first date. When are you going?"

"Saturday." I answered casually trying to hide my smile. I know many people would be happy to hear that I'm finally going on a date with a guy.

"Do you have the cloth to wear?" She stood up not even giving me the chance to answer her question as she was going towards the closet.

My phone beeped beside me and I saw that I got messages from Carey and Alisha.

Carey:
Are you okay? Where are you?

Me:
I am okay and I am at home.
What's wrong?.

I hope all is well. Is he even going to the party. I don't want to ask so I would not sound too desperate.

I then checked Alisha's message. It just amusing that the twins sent me a message at the same time.

Alisha:
Yes, he is.

"What up?" Alison asked holding dresses in her hands.

"Nothing much."

"So these are the dresses. Which one would you like?" She asked raising a skimpy pink gown. "Do you like this?" She asked and I shook my head.

She kept on showing me the dresses but I don't like them. "What about this" She raised another dress up. It was a blue dress, not too skimpy and also with stripes.

"Yes." I nodded. She started packing all the clothes to take back to where they belong. "Alison." I called. She turned back and raised her eyebrow. "Hunter is having a party this Friday. Would you like to go." It looked like she was thinking about it. "Adrian is also coming." I quickly said so that she would agree.

"Okay." She smiled and I was really happy to see her smiling. I'm happy she is living her life normally after her Father's death.

"I know you are crushing on Adrian!" I shouted so that she could hear as she was practically running to the closet.

"Whatever." She said definitely flustered. "I already found a cloth you must wear for the party!"

I picked up my phone to continue playing my game then the sound of the doorbell stopped my action.

"Why does everyone hate this game?" I groaned and pushed myself to stand up.

"You are closer to the door, get it." Alison ordered from where she was.

"I know." I shouted.

I went downstairs almost falling down with the way I was walking. The doorbell rang again and I cursed under my breath.

I finally got to the door and I opened it to find no one other than.....

"Carey!" I exclaimed. "What are y-" I was cut off when Carey pulled me into a tight hug. My body went still. This is my first time of hugging him so I'm still in shock.

~~~~~
Yes, I'm still alive. I know I'm late, extremely late. I'm sorry, I had to do something so I've been busy.  Thanks for still reading.

I've been getting messages about my story and its all about my mistakes. Thanks so much. I'm really grateful. Hope you enjoyed it.

So what's up with Carey? Any idea?
