TREYTON'S POINT OF VIEW

Mallory: "Abbeigh and I talked about visiting there, visiting you,"

"And?" Lores asked, leaning in back to the phone.

Mallory: "She told me, why not you visit us instead? She said that she'll pick you up and drive you here"

Lores looked at me with narrow eyes, "Can Trey come?" She asks.

I placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled her close to me, 'What are you doing?' I asked, whispering to her.

'She's inviting me to Abbeigh's house, I can't go there alone, at least come along with me' Lores hissed, keeping her voice down.

'Seriously? I don't need to go with you, it might become suspicious, you just said my name out of nowhere and she's been quiet for way too long, don't you think that's kinda off?' I spat, still whispering as much as I could.

'I'll tell you why once this call's over, just stay quiet, alright?' Lores says, taking my hand off her shoulder and returning her attention back to the call.

"Hey, Mallory? You still there?" She asks.

Mallory: "Uh, *clears throat* Yeah?"

"I asked if Trey can come, is it alright?" Lores continued, speaking as calm as the ocean at night.

Mallory: "Uhm, yeah! Sure! Abbeigh said that it's no problem"

The both of us heard a nervous chuckle at the other end of the line. Lores didn't even bother to look at me and explain why she did that.

"Really? Thanks! When's her schedule open?" Lores asked, once again.

Mallory: "She told me that she can pick you up by this Monday, how does that sound?"

"Monday?" She pauses and looks at me, mouthing, 'I have classes Monday'

'What are you gonna do?' I mouthed as she sighed.

"Yeah, sure! Sounds fine! I can just call in a family emergency so that they'll send me a soft copy of the assignments and lessons" Lords explained, agreeing to Mallory.

Mallory: "Then it's a plan, alright? Keep your schedule open for the next three days cause we'll be doing so much activities!"

"You always sound so cheerful, Mallory" Lores giggled.

Mallory: "You really miss me so much, don't you, Lores? Okay, I gotta go, now, see you on Monday!"

*beep beep beep*

Lores let out a deep sigh as she leaned back on the couch, resting her neck as she closed her eyes.

"I wanted you to come with me..." Lores breathed as she fluttered her eyes open, staring at the ceiling, "Because if there is something wrong with being with that Abbeigh, I want you to be there" Lores says, reaching for me as she took my hands in hers, "You know people from the Police, right?" She asks, staring in my eyes, "Then, if something wrong does happen, you can help" She explains, forcing a smile on her lips.

I scoffed at her as grinned, "You're... such a great person..." I say as I pulled her into a tight hug.

"Look, don't worry anymore, all right? We're already going to meet them so rest assured" I say as I heard her sigh.

"All right, I'm sorry" She says, nodding.

"Trey! Wake your a*$ up, right now!" I hear Lores yell as she kicked the door open, shaking my sleeping body fiercely.

"Alright, alright! I'm up!" I groaned, my morning voice, groggy, "What time is it?" I asked as I sat up, rubbing my eyes.

"9:30" She said, innocently but, oh, so, bluntly.

"9:30?!" I repeated, "She's picking us up at 10! Why didn't you wake me up?!" I ask, annoyed as I forced my body out of the bed and quickly took a shower.

"You look cute when you sleep, okay?! And you were sleeping peacefully, so I thought that maybe it wouldn't hurt to wake you up a little later!" Lores reasoned.

"That's not an excuse!" I roared as furiously rubbed my head with shampoo and my body with soap.

"I already made breakfast, so chill out!" Lores brushed me off.

I rinsed my body and stepped out of the shower and wrapped my lower half in a towel as I hurriedly took out my clothes for today and forced myself in them.

"Wow, took you only a minute to shower, that's a world wide record" Lores kid as she chuckled before walking away from the door.

"Shut up!!"
