Even though Sitara had promised herself that she wasn't going to tell Raina Riele Kasey's address...

She had felt bad because if she hadn't told Raina Riele his address, then she would have been breaking the promise she had made.

Raina Riele was just about to leave for Kasey's house entirely but she couldn't really have done so anymore because her parents had caught her in her act.

Her mother wanted to know where she was going, and now she had to lie about it because if she had told her parents the truth...

Then she wouldn't have heard the end of it.

RonReaco had been suspicious of her since the start. Raina Riele had to lie either way whether they had all liked it or not.

"I'm going Veronica's house. Veronica Chioma. The Afro-Latina one."

Raina Riele did have a friend called Veronica, and they had been best friends since childhood.

They hadn't talked in approximately six years.

They didn't fall out or anything.

They had just drifted apart from each other instead.

So therefore when Jeronicus as well as Annaisha had heard this, they were all beyond surprised.

"Veronica Chioma?" Arsenio had repeated. "You haven't talked to that girl in over half a decade."

"We made up. I wanted to study at her house during a sleepover. She said yes."

They hadn't spoken to each other yet.

Raina Riele was making all of this up, and even though her parents couldn't have detected any of this straight away....

RonReaco did.

A semi suspicious Annaisha and Jeronicus had looked at each other, then at Raina Riele again.

"If that's the case then we can call her parents." Raina's father had suggested. "For all we know, you could be making this whole thing up or something."

Raina Riele had seemed okay with that, nodding to that vehemently.

In her defence, she hadn't fully heard what they had said to her.

When she eventually did though, she had screamed wait! really loudly.

Explaining to them that they couldn't have called her parents because they were super busy as of right now.

They had all stared at her blankly.

"How are they busy?"

"Veronica's father's an accountant and her mother is a nurse," she had explained- and she wasn't lying either.

She just knew these things.

And she didn't have to talk to Veronica herself to know that.

Either way, she had said that both of them were busy right now, and that they should have called them back in about ten minutes or so.

In the meantime, Raina Riele would have called Veronica herself so that she could have impersonated her parents.

Which was evil although it could have potentially and hopefully worked out.

RonReaco didn't say anything to her as she had dashed up the stairs, knowing very well that she was lying about everything.

He was going to talk to her later, that was for sure.

"Now as for you, young man..."

Annaisha was just about to say that he really needed to be sure he wanted to do this course.

That was until she had gotten a phone call.

Answering the phone call, she had then told Jeronicus to deal with RonReaco in the meantime.

Shockingly though, the phone call was for both of them as they had worked at the same place.

When they had worked at different places, when one person had left for work... the other person was still sleeping.

And when they had gotten back from work, it was late enough for the other person to still be sleeping again.

Which wasn't fair.

It was cute though, with a lot of people from work actually thinking this, and apparently the phone call was for something good, they were all getting a promotion apparently.

That was amazing news.

As they were talking to their boss on the phone, that was when RonReaco had decided to go and deal with his younger sister upstairs in the meantime.

Raina Riele was just about to call Veronica on her phone, and it had gone through, that was until RonReaco had gone into her room.

What the room had looked like?

This:

It was actually really nice.

The M had said R though, for Raina and Riele too.

As Raina Riele was about to answer the call from Veronica, as it hadn't gone through the first time- she thought it did but it didn't.

There was RonReaco, chilling near her door, with his arms crossed.

He wasn't happy.

At all.

And it didn't take a genius to realise that.

"Ahem."

She had freaked out, yelling at him for sneaking up on her, but RonReaco didn't want to hear it.

"End the phone call with Veronica."

"But-"

"I said end it!" He had snapped at her, before then walking uninvitedly into her room.

Veronica had actually picked up at this, with Raina Riele telling her that she would have called her back.

And thank Heavens her phone number was still the same, even after six years.

Because it wasn't then the girl wouldn't really have known what she would have done.

She was in serious trouble with her older brother through, and she had sensed it.

"What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy here?"

"Now I know you ain't going to 'Veronica's' house," he had told her, using air quotes for the name Veronica. "So where you really going?"

Kasey's.

That was where she was really going.

She didn't have the the effrontery to tell RonReaco any of that though, even though he had kind of figured this out already.

Tell him.

Don't tell him.

He's your older brother though.

So he deserves to know.

RonReaco didn't like jumping to conclusions though, hence why he hadn't said anything about it.

That was the best thing about him.

He didn't jump to conclusions like some people he knew.

"Why do you want to know where I'm going?"

"To make sure you ain't going anywhere stupid, or anywhere you're not supposed to be going in general."

She sighed.

Might as well have told him, whether he had liked it or not.

"I'm going..."

He stared at her blankly.

She sighed.

Then she said it.

She was going Kasey's house.
