We had a good day chopping and taking pictures together. Mom got us everything we needed and promised to take us to see a movie tomorrow. "What a good day!", Jenner babbles on our way home from the mall. 

"Mom, Lisa says she's coming over with martins. I tell mom, although she's met Lisa and Martins many times but I love reminding her whenever my friend is coming to our house. 

"Huh? Martins? Jenner chips in. 

"Yeah, martins, anything wrong with that?" I gush a smile, trying to seem sarcastic but actually didn't but seemed somehow. 

"And who is martins?" Mom asks. 

Jenner made a haha sound, "I've told you about him before!, and he's been coming to our house, don't you remember?! Jenner snaps. 

"Whoa! easy baby, sorry I forgot, why are you angry? It is not as if you are not old enough to have a boyfriend or whatever and you will be graduating soon from high school. mom says, her eyes never leaving the driveway. 

"Jenny I'm sorry maybe martins wanted it to be a surprise, I say trying to make out point. 

"Surprise? Ha, you've gotta be kidding me".

Mom pulled over in front of our house "Girls we are home!"Mom yelled, drawing us out from our conversation that is going somewhere else. 

"Thank goodness", I whisper underneath my breath before going to the trunk to carry out our shopping bags. Jenner is still mad at me, I knew it, from the way she opened the car, almost ripping it off, she didn't say anything before running inside. As we walk into the living room, Jenner is sitting on the couch carrying her face in her palm. 

"Mom I didn't mean to snap on you and Tracy, it's just that I've had a rough and pretty good time today Jenner says with a sad face. 

Mom smile "Come here baby,'' she says opening out her arms to my sister. I dropped the bag I was carrying and joined in the warm hug. We were interrupted by the ding doing from our door. 

"It's them", I say and pulled out from the embrace. I picked the bags up from the floor and went upstairs while jenner opened the door for our visitors. I heard Lisa's voice greeting mom on my way downstairs. 

Lissy wore a red dress with a fancy slippers and her blond Is neatly combed and it dangles at her back while she walks while Martins wore a white shirt with black short. Mom excused herself after giving our friends the pizza we ordered before going to the mall. 

"Hey Jen how are you doing today? Martins ask my sister.

"I'm fine, thank you". 

"Lissy, come I've got a surprise for you, I giggled , dragging lissy to my room. Martins and Jenny joined us later. we read and did our assignment, before Jenny and Martins went downstairs. Lissy talked about her boyfriend Bryce. While I did the listening. "Hey, what about Justin, has he apologized yet? Lissy ask holding my hands,"It's fine if you don't wanna talk about him. She add sensing my silence. 

" Uhm, he...he

"Hey! guys come let's continue our challenge on the game we played last week, Martins calls from the door.

" This time, we're gonna win. Lissy yell taking my hands. "we will talk about Justin later. She whisper only to my hearing. 

"I bet you will". Martins tease.
