This is what grounded feels like. It sucks big time. It's horrible. I can't even read. Most kids, get grounded and are told to read or something, I get grounded and I'm being told not to read because frankly my mom thinks it's not much of a punishment for me! It just hit me that I am completely different from other people. Which isn't bad but come on, no reading. That's so surreal.

The week flew by so fast I couldn't even think right.

This is how my week kind of rolled by;
Tuesday was when we had our math quiz, though I'm pretty sure they all failed because all the questions on the paper were the ones from when Ms Bradley was explaining but no on was paying much attention then. Luckily even without my recorder that Aldan took, I had my previous notes to at least look over and I'm pretty sure I did great. Oh, the confidence. After school I had to walk down to the nearest station and asked if they saw a black Jaguar since I had to pick up my car. They told me to come back Thursday and check. What the hell was supposed to use to get to school now. Oh right, my two damn feet. We had the dinner with the Princes. It wasn't awkward. Well, maybe between the parents' but Aldan and I barely looked at each other. I knew it was awkward for the both of us because of the incident. So much for pretend this never happened. After dinner, we both washed up and to say there wasn't a huge awkward silence between the two of us in the kitchen would be a big fat lie. To make things more complicated and confusing, before they left he told me to stay away from Cody. What is it with them?

On Wednesday at work was also great. Not really though, since Martha wasn't at work. They must've put her on a live. Maybe in advance since she was getting really big and could barely fit in her tiny cubical that she used to before. At least that didn't stop me from doing my work. To say, I wasn't kind of expecting a call from someone would be a lie. I mean, ever since I hung out with Cody on Monday I didn't know why I felt as if we could've been friends. Oh well, I should probably leave the wishful thinking alone and come back to reality because rich people like him are just... Well rich. Explains the different type of cars I see him driving. I promise I'm not stalking him, he just passed by all the time duh. Speaking of stalking, the unknown number keeps texting me. The other night (s)he texted me saying that they hope I have blankets to sleep. Who says that?

Moving on,

Thursday came by and I saw Aldan in school like every other day, but I noticed something. He was avoiding me. I don't exactly know why he was doing that but every now and then when I turned around to look at him, he would already be staring at me but when I looked at him, he would quickly look away and clench his jaw. It was funny because after school, he offered to drive me down to the station to pick up my car and just when I got off, he told me to stay away from Cody and that it was for the best. It left me feeling really curious. What could have possibly happened between the both of them that they just hate each other so much? I couldn't stop thinking about that.

On Friday, my mom and I went grocery shopping after school to pick up her stuff for baking. A big ceremony was happening at the Bake Gala and she wanted to make something special. I helped her prepare and she left for her big night. I noticed that both my parents are barely home. My dad left again and traveled out saying that he would come back home on Saturday. He's almost like a stranger now. We barely talk. Mostly it's just me and my mom and he's more like a foreigner in our own home.

And now; it's Saturday. I'm at home and both my mom and dad are away. My mom left with aunt Celine to go shopping leaving me with Aldan. They told us to bake four trays of cake and ten trays of cupcakes while waiting, so right now, we were in the kitchen trying to figure out how to bake a cake from scratch even though both our moms gave us clear instructions on how to start before they left.

"Um.. So what did they say again?" I asked and turned to look at Aldan who was too busy eating chips pretending that I wasn't talking to him.

The kitchen was a mess. We both were wearing aprons that were covered in flour and the kitchen benches were covered in flour as well. There were cake trays and a couple of cake mixes along with a few baked cupcakes that we both already made out of cake mix which wasn't hard at all. It was simple really.

He turned around and put down the chip bag and then picked up a cup cake from the tray and started eating it.

"Aldan! Those are for tonight dumbass!" I said walking towards him and taking the cupcake from him.

"It was just one," he shrugged and rolled his eyes.

"Still. They gave us specific instructions and I'm not getting grounded again. "

"You're not the only one that's grounded. I had to stay in on Friday and do home work! Do you know how much torture that is for me? " he cried dramatically and then picked up the chip bag again and shoved more into his mouth.

"Whatever. "

"Homework dude! Who likes homework!" he went on complaining like a baby.

I ignored him and sighed looking down at the cupcake in my hand.

"I know you wanna eat it, " I looked up frowning and glared at Aldan who was smirking and chewing a mouthful of chips.

"I don't," I scoffed.

He smirked again and shrugged, "Your loss."

I narrowed my eyes and looked back at the cupcake. It's like it was chanting to me. Tempting me.

"Eat me! Eat me! Eat me!"

"Shut up Aldan! " I looked up at him. He was standing across from me chanting in a small voice.

"What? " he chuckled, "You and I both know you can't resist chocolate. You love chocolate. "

"You remember that? " I scoffed and looked up at him.

"Well you can't really forget a person that always steals your share of chocolate at the age of five now do you?" he asked sarcastically.

I snorted, "You gave them to me. You always gave me your share of chocolate. "

"Yeah, " he shoved chips in his mouth, "Oh the regret! "

I rolled my eyes.

I actually do love chocolate. I remember I used to steal his chocolate when we both got treats. He always gave me his chocolate even though he loved chocolate too. I remember he use to say that it made him happy to see me happy and eating chocolate made me happy. I miss those times. I wonder why he's changed so much from that sweet little boy to well this. I mean he's sweet but he's also a jerk. And when he's being a jerk, you would hardly tell if there's anything good in him. I hope he can be that sweet guy again. The guy I loved hanging out with. The guy that was my best friend.

"Page stop raping the poor cupcake in your mind and eat it already," I snap out of my thoughts and look up at Aldan who's smiling at me and the cupcake.

"I would. But you would snitch on me. "

"Okay fine, eat the cupcake. I won't tell. Besides, I ate it too. And make it fair, if you eat it, I won't tell just like you won't tell that I ate it too. Deal? " he asked doing the eyebrow dance.

"But if I eat it, than one would be missing from the tray and they'd know that we ate one, " I said raising the cupcake to him.

"For goodness sake Page, we can tell them that we were testing it if was okay or not. If you're not gonna eat the cupcake then-"

"Hell no, " I shoved the cupcake into my mouth and chewed it. It was super moist. The chocolate just tasted so good. My eyes widened once the taste hit my tongue. It was so good.

"It's so good! " I groan and say with my mouth full.

Aldan smiled and nodded his head, "Yeah okay weirdo. "

After I swallow the cupcake I let out a sigh and look at Aldan who's looking at me with an amused face busy eating chips.

"What? " I ask him.

"You eat like a pig," he stated laughing.

"You're the worst." I picked up a handful of flour on the counter and throw it at him which catches him right when he wanted to put chips into his mouth. The flour goes right in his mouth and he starts coughing like hell.

I bust out laughing while he's busy choking on flour.

"Your-"

Cough

"So-"

Cough

"Dead! "

Cough

I chuckle at him and wiped away my fake tears making it dramatic. "I'm so funny I crack myself up. "

His eyes were watery by the time he regained his breath and stood up straight to look at me.

"You're so dead," he said firmly while narrowing his eyes at me.

"You should've seen your face, " I laughed again remembering his face. "You looked like a constipated goat. "

"Oh yeah, did I? " he asked shaking his head. I nodded my head and laughed again, but gasped as soon as I felt something fall on my head. It was egg.

"My hair! " I cried holding the top of my head and felt the egg. I looked up and saw Aldan holding two more in his hands juggling them and looking at me.

"You know, " he said in a calm tone though I didn't take him seriously since he's whole face was covered in flour, "I never really understood how humans came to find eggs and suddenly decided to eat them. I mean, what cruel idiot invented egg eating? How would you feel if someone ate your kid huh? The one and only thing that you produced? Especially mothers! A seedling that came out of you! I don't know about you, but the thought totally sucks. Who eats poor innocent egg babies!"

"What are you talking about? " I frowned and looked at him.

"Eggs! Weren't you listening? " he cried dramatically.

"What? "

"Target practice!" he yelled and flew the egg straight towards me which landed dab smack on my face. It broke right in my face making me gasp in shock.

I breathed out through my nose and I felt the egg roll down my face as I looked at him through the egg white and yolk, "Oh you're going down. "

I made a run for the cupcakes in the bench while he ran for the flour bag. I picked up the cupcakes one by one and started shooting him with them. He picked up handfuls of flour and threw them across the kitchen. Blindly, I picked up the box of dozen eggs and ran out of the kitchen to stand in the living room and throw them back into the kitchen. He ducked and hid While I did the same and dived behind the couch for cover.

I looked the dozen egg carton only to find that I on had two eggs left. Suddenly I heard the fridge open and close.

"Aldan I swear if you're getting something wet and goiy, you're seriously gonna die without a doubt," I call over to him behind the couch.

"Oh trust me, " I jump at the sound of him. I look up to see that he was now standing over me. "It's even better. "

I scream as he pours a huge bowl of milk and honey on me. I gasp and quickly stand up. I could feel myself getting really sticky. I cautiously wipe away the milk and honey away from my eyes and open them only to see him running back into the kitchen laughing his head off.

"Oh you are dead. You are so officially dead."

I turn around marching back into the kitchen. He looks at me barely keeping himself together while I open the fridge and search for my ultimate weapon that will kill him and his whole army.

I still hear him laugh as I search. The next thing I know, I hear a shutter button as I turn around startled to see him holding his phone. He turned the phone to me and showed me the picture and then laughed again.

I growled and looked at him. Suddenly the icing mix on the bench caught my attention. Slowly but surely, I moved away smiling innocently as I did. His eye followed me as I moved.

"What are you doing? " he asked as I made my way successfully to the other side of then bench. I smiled as I slowly slip my hand behind my back and grab the icing mix that was already packed in the icing bag.

"Eat this, " I said as I quickly grab the icing bag from behind me putting it in front of me and squeezing the bag making the wet icing fly out of the mouth straight towards Aldan standing facing me and giving his back to the main entrance of the door.

And to my horror, Aldan ducks missing the icing mix just in time for the main door to open causing the mix to land right on both the mothers faces. I gasp and quickly throw the icing mix to the side.

Aldan slowly gets up and looks at both his mom and my mom and then back at me with wide eyes.

"You know what? I think I'll just get back to hiding down there," he whispered and then slowly went back down and hid.

The two moms turned and looked at me with icing on their cheeks. They both glared at me who was covered in flour, egg, milk and honey. I gave a wide grin and sucked in a breath through my teeth as I laughed nervously.

"Surprise."
