Juliet's POV

                      This weekend Anna invited us to her place since she shifted to a new apartment and she told us that her parents and siblings will be going out of town so the whole house will be just for us and we can take maximum use of it. I was excited about it and started preparing for it. Its not a sleepover but just to spend the day.

We hadn't planned for anything, I thought maybe we can go there and plan on how to spend the day. Saturday I woke up early in the morning and got into a casual dress, had my breakfast and sat on the couch till I receive Aliza's call. She offered to pick me up when she goes. After five minutes she gave me a call and I left after kissing mom on her cheeks while she was busy at the kitchen.

It isn't a long distance so we arrived at Anna's place at around 8:00am. Just as we got out of the vehicle we saw Anna's family leaving home and Anna bidding them farewell. She was dressed in a beautiful red and black maxi dress with a wide smile prepared to welcome us. She directed us inside the elevator and then inside the house which was in the third floor and let us sit on the couch in the living room.

"Seems like we are too early" Aliza said looking at the empty house.

"Nah, you girls are just on time, if not I would've been bored after my parents had left"

"You look gorgeous, Anna" I commented observing her dress.

"Thank You, this is a gift I got from my parents for my birthday this year"

Before we could say anything the doorbell rang and Anna opened the door. Salman caught my sight at first since he was the tallest and was outstanding from all of them.

Gosh! I can't bear his handsomeness. Why does he have to be this handsome?

No! He's not mine! Why should I think about him or look at him in that way?

Along with Salman, Omar and Kaym too entered the house and sat opposite to us in the sofa.

Aliza greeted Salman and Omar with, "Assalamu Alaikum!" to which they replied in unison, "Walaikum Salam"

(A greeting which Muslims use to greet each other.)

Then she greeted Kaym "Good Morning Kaym"

And he replied, "Good Morning Allie and Juliet"

I replied to it. Salman didn't even bother to greet me nor did I have the courage to greet him first and Omar too didn't realize that he didn't greet me.

"The others hadn't come yet?"

Salman looked at Anna and questioned. Perhaps he's missing his Olivia. Why couldn't he pick her on his way here? Anyways why do I care? But it's hard to pretend not to care.

We went to the front balcony to check if we can see any signs of the others coming. After a couple of minutes we saw Olivia getting down from her vehicle, at the same time we saw Fred, Harry and Edgar coming too. Before they saw us in the balcony we ran to the door to welcome them and as we heard the elevator's door opening we opened the house door and screamed jumping on them giving them a mini heart attack. They were surprised to see all of us present and they were late, not very late though. We ushered them inside the house and took our seats in the couch at the living room and that doesn't suffice for all of us so Anna pulled up chairs from the close by dining table.

                     The house isn't very big, since its in an apartment, but it suffices Anna's family. It has four rooms with attached restrooms, a living hall, dining hall and a kitchen. 

Anna left us in the living room and went to the kitchen. She returned back after a few minutes with a jar filled with apple juice and few tumblers. We served ourselves with the amount we wished and quenched our thirst. We took a tour around the house and did random stuffs and mostly random talking.

The lunch which Anna's mom had ordered for us arrived home. After eating lunch Anna served us a dessert what she had made for us the previous day.

"Woah Anna, a great cook for your future husband, yeah?" Edgar commented, which made her blush.

"Yup Anna, Its delicious." Harry added.

"Guys, shall we do something productive?" Fred asked yawning.

"No worries Fred, you sleep if you want, the rest of us can enjoy" Kaym joked.

"Shall we play something?" Olivia questioned.

"No! We are not kids anymore.." I replied

"But we do act like kids. And yeah, kids aren't the only ones who play" Salman cut me off.

I was pissed to the core when he negated me and supported that Olivia, but I am not a person who show my anger out, so I kept quiet. He looked like he was kidding but still, how dare he does that? I see Olivia up in the seventh heaven and feel like punching her face.

I felt a hand squeezing my palm tight and when I looked at it I realized it was Aliza, maybe she understood that I was hurt. She's always there to support me. Without making situations worst, she suggested.

"Guys I got an idea, What about baking?"

"That's a good idea, I agree with it" Omar replied.

"Wow. That's something we've never tried before" Kaym agreed

"Yay. Its going to be amazing" Fred agreed.

"But only if Anna agrees to mess up her mom's kitchen" Harry said wisely.

And Anna replied "No worries as long as you clean it up afterwards"

"Definitely we would do that" stated Edgar.

"Anna never works at home, so today we'll make her do the cleaning" I fake-scared her and she chuckled because she knew it was a joke. She hates cleaning.

"C'mon guys, let's get going"

"Wait, we have to plan before we start"

"Plan? What do you mean?"

"Okay. Listen to the rules. Let's get into two groups, bake two cakes and icing it, agree?"

"But how do we see which group won?"

"Once both the cakes are baked the timing starts, within 15 minutes the cakes should be dressed with icing. Timing and beauty counts."

"Ok. Agree" screamed all at the same time.

"Once I say 1, 2, 3, separate into two groups, five in each, two girls in one and the other two in the other".

"Ok" we all said.

"Alright. 1.... 2.... 3"

As it was suggested we formed into two groups. The group which I was in had Kaym, Omar, Aliza, Salman and I. The other group had, Anna, Olivia, Edgar, Harry and Fred in it.

For once Salman didn't join the group where Olivia was, maybe he was too late and the group already formed, so he was left alone and maybe he had no other choice than joining us. If he could he would've put someone out of that group and joined in there, but it would be too obvious, so he left out the idea might be.
