The sun shone so brightly for the winter season. Superstitiously, you could say it bit people's flesh. Most people were even discouraged to go out of their houses to jog but those who could not afford to miss their daily routine or we could say, those that were used to it, got out of their homes to jog a little...
Kavinsky jogged for some while before jogging back home since it was too sunny and he could not take it any longer. He was dirty from all his sweat. He met his mom watching TV in the sitting room and he went to peck her on the cheek.
"You need a long shower, boy", she said and laughed at him
"Am an adult, mom. And also, have you been outside? It's like two thousand degrees out there", he complained.
"You still need one", she said again, teasing him.
"I know", he said in frustration and walked up the stairs.
He took a shower immediately he got upstairs and changed from the top and shorts of his sport topped with his black trainer shoes into a blue v- neck top and black shorts.
"I am going to Harry's", he notified his Mom and she nodded at him. He walked out the door and saw Stiles across from him about to enter a cab. He ignored him and boarded another cab. The cabs have SIKAMORE ESTATE on them.
Soon, he got to Harry's house which is outside his estate and in town. He rang the doorbell and Harry opened it. The two of them shared each other in a manly way and Kavinsky walked in.
Harry is wearing a white round-neck top and black pants, he held a cup of coffee in his left hand. He had black straight hair which made a bang in front of his face. His face is oblong and his eyes were black too.
"What of your Dad?", Kavinsky asked crashing on the brown sofa.
"He is at work", Harry replied sipping the coffee he held.
"Aren't you going to offer me one?", Kavinsky asked referring to the coffee
"Nah, am cool", Harry replied and they both laughed
"Let's play video game then", Kavinsky suggested
"Even though I would beat you in the end?", Harry said feeling all proud of himself
The truth is that whenever they played video games, hardly would Kavinsky win. Harry is so good at it that Kavinsky gets jealous at times.
"You got anything else to do then?", Kavinsky asked back sternly and Harry rolled his eyes at him.
"Wait, before we start. Where is your mom?", Kavinsky asked, looking around the room like the detective that he is not.
"At the mall", Harry replied putting his cup of coffee down and Kavinsky heaved a sigh of relief at his answer.
They played till they were tired and as usual, Harry won again.
"What of your girlfriend?", Harry asked with a chuckle.
"What girlfriend?", Kavinsky asked feigning ignorance
"Vanessa", Harry said playing along with him
"She is probably somewhere", Kavinsky replied with a shrug.
"So, you guys don't talk or what?", Harry asked, turning to face him properly.
"I don't even know", Kavinsky replied with a grin.
Harry remained quiet, he knew his friend is not very supportive of him being Vanessa's boyfriend. He knew Kavinsky did not love or like Vanessa at all but he still dated her cause of certain reasons.
"Let's play one more", Kavinsky said breaking the silence between them.
They played and Harry won again. Kavinsky just never gives up. Kavinsky went home afterward.
He got home and his Mom was in the kitchen preparing dinner.
"Kavinsky, is that you?", his Mom asked from the kitchen
"Uhm, I think so", Kavinsky replied weirdly
"Can you please get the lunch box from our neighbor?", His mom said coming out of the kitchen in her pink apron.
"You gave them food?", Kavinsky asked in surprise
"Yeah, quick, go and get it for me", him Mom said going back to the kitchen
He groaned before going back out of the house.
************************
Mr. Blaine ran his hand in between his hair in frustration while Laura just watched the scene. Probably if Laura had not fainted that day, she would also be like Kaylee. Mr. Blaine walked into the kitchen and poured himself some water to calm himself down.
He thought he should go get his car from the shipping company. They took a flight but shipped their car.
"Am going to go get the car from the port", Mr. Blaine said to Laura
"I will go with you", Laura said and he nodded. She was feeling bored before, this was an opportunity for her to go out of the house, at least.
Mr. Blaine walked to the stairs to Kaylee's room and knocked on the door but she did not reply to him.
"Laura and I are going to get the car", he informed her.
Kaylee heard his footstep leaving her door and turned on the bed.
She stood up from bed, walked to the window, and opened the curtains, and light from the sun's rays reflected into her room. She walked back to her bed, stood up, went to her reading table, walked back when she realized she had nothing to do there, and later crashed on the bed in frustration.
A few minutes later, she heard the doorbell ring.
"Can't people stay in their house?", Kaylee asked rhetorically in frustration with a groan.
She got up from the bed and walked to the door. She opened her room door and walked down the stairs. She opened the front door and instead of meeting an older woman with her child or something, she saw a young handsome guy.
He wore a blue v-neck top and black shorts. His hair was blonde and he had blue eyes, one could get lost in them. He looks her age as well.
"Hey", he said and she stared at him
"Am here to get the lunch box", he added when she did not reply.
"Wait here then", she said coldly but her voice sounded so calm.
She came back with the box and handed it over to him. He was about to say something but she shut the door in his face.
"What's wrong with that girl?", Kavinsky thought and sighed.
He walked home quickly since it was next door, and soon he was inside his house. His Mom continued to watch the television as he walked to the kitchen to drop the lunchbox.
"Did you meet the new neighbor?", his mom asked curiously
"Yes", he replied simply as he walked out of the kitchen
"Did you guys talk?", his mom asked anxiously
"She is just a teenager like me, mom", he replied stopping dead on his track and facing his mother.
"Oh, I know. But you talked to her right?", his mom asked with curiosity
"Somehow", he answered with a shrug.
"What did you talk about?", his mom asked and he heaved a sigh.
"Not much before she hit the door right on my face", he answered sternly with a frown before rolling his eyes.
"Oh, my God! Is your nose broken? Why did she do that? She seemed like a nice girl", she said, drifting into her thoughts while slanting her lips.
Kavinsky shook his head in disbelief. Had she forgotten he said she hit the door in his face? That quick? He walked up the stairs slowly, heaving a sigh at every single step.
"Is your nose broken!?", she asked when he had almost finished ascending the stairs
"It's not", he answered from the top of the stairs and doubted if she heard him
He entered his bedroom and lay flat on the bed. He smiled when he remembered how she looked at him coldly.
"She is cute"

Saturday evening, 31st May Kavinsky sat on the sofa in the sitting room while his Mom cooked in the kitchen. A knock sounded on the door and he got up to check who was at the door. He opened the door and greeted me calmly. "Welcome, Dad", he said as Mr. Mark walked in nodding his head at his son. Kavinsky shut the door behind them and took his seat back on the sofa, picking up his phone and continuing to play his game Mrs. Mark came out of the kitchen and greeted her husband "How was work?", she asked collecting his briefcase "It was fine but stressful", he replied with a smile "Sorry", she answered and he nodded. "Dinner is ready!", she said out loud so Kavinsky would hear as well. "I will go and shower first", Mr. Mark said ascending the stairs "Mmm", she replied to no one in particular Mrs. Mark dished everyone's food and soon Kavinsky's Dad arrived in a white shirt and black trousers. "Honey, food is ready!", Mrs. Mark called out of Kavinsky. "Am almost done with

Kavinsky got down from the cab and carried his laundry basket along with him. He entered the waiting room and went directly to the receptionist behind the marble cabinet. She was typing something away on her computer when he got there. He knocked twice on the cabinet to gain her attention. Tthe he receptionist looked up and grinned immediately she saw who it was. "Kavinsky", she called out with a smile plastered to her face and stood up from her seat. "Hi, am here to drop some clothes", he said, going straight to the point. "Oh!", she said sharply, somewhat disappointed. "But of course, you are in a dry cleaning company, so-", she added immediately and trailed off . "Yeah, obviously", Kavinsky replied nonchalantly. "Pass it here, I will make the arrangements quickly", she said beckoning at
June 1st, Sunday night Kavinsky finally completed his project after having dinner with his father and mother. His parents had retired to bed early while he stayed a little while more in the living room, playing video games. "I want to sharpen my skills in this new video game 'cause I know I desperately need to before Harry learns about it", he had told his mom when she asked why he wasn't going to bed early. "Alright but go to bed early, you know you have to go to school tomorrow", his mother had said. He had rolled his eyes at the moment as he muttered. "I am not a kid" His mother had heard him and she replied to him while going up the stairs; "I know but you will always remain my kid" Kavinsky went to bed after he had mastered the game and played it for a few rounds. He got up from bed when he remembered the brunette colored hair girl who lived just next door. He couldn't pinpoint the actual deal with this girl but he knew he was attracted to her. He stood up and walked
Vanessa pulled Kavinsky up when she saw that he was not intending to stand up, away from this lowly-looking girl. "She can do it herself", Vanessa said with a shrug and rolled her eyes. Kaylee got up and Stiles asked from beside her if she was okay. "I am fine", she replied before an announcement was made all over the school speakers. "Kaylee Blaine, please report to the principal's office. Kaylee Blaine, please report to the principal's office", the announcement was made twice before it stopped and only the echo from the announcement lingered against the school walls. "Let me accompany you there", Stiles offered calmly "No, it's fine. I can go myself", she said and turned to leave. She soon arrived at the Principal's door and knocked three times on it. "Come in", Mr. Bull, the principal's voice was heard from the other side of the door. Kaylee pressed down the door handle and walked in. She met Mr. Bull sitting behind his table having coffee while he is checking some paper h
"Vanessa Anderson. She comes from an affluent family. Her father is running for the post of commissioner. His campaign stickers are all over town. And also, he donates a lot of money to this school, so-", Anna replied and shrugged "That does not give her the right to act like that in the school", Kaylee protested with a frown. "Everyone knows that Kaylee", Anna told her and continued eating her food "Wait a minute, don't tell me you are planning something against her", Anna said all of a sudden, widening her eyes for emphasis. "Of course not! Why would I?", Kaylee replied and faked a laugh "Okay, cause I would advise you not to. You don't want to get yourself meddled in Vanessa's business. Just keep ignoring her and you would be fine", Anna advised her "I told you I wasn't", Kaylee said sharply 'The students in this school sound dumb', Kaylee thought and continued eating * * * Wednesday afternoon, June 4 At Seattle high school, The bell was rung to notify all students f
Kavinsky ran downstairs and met his Dad alive and well. He checked around for any cut or injury on his body and saw none. He looked only at his father, oblivious to what stood beside his father. All he cared about at that moment was his father. He stood there in anger. He realized he had been tricked but why?? His mother laughed and laughed till her cheeks hurt. "You should have seen the way he ran, honey", she said in between laughs and went to stand beside her husband. "What did you say to him?", Mr. Mark asked. He was curious to know what would make his son run down the stairs like that. "That you got into an accident", Mrs. Mark said and smiled. "An accident? Me?", Mr. Mark asked in shock. "Why would you even think of saying that?", he asked in disappointment. "Uh oh!", Mrs. Mark realized it wasn't a funny matter anymore and her laughter died down. "I was just-", she started but was cut off by Kavinsky's loud voice. She secretly thanked God that Kavinsky had chosen that t
Kaylee could not believe her father had just said that. "Dad?", she called out in disbelief. "It's much faster, honey. I won't have to", Kaylee cut her father short rudely by walking towards Kavinsky's house. Mr. Blaine just heaved a sigh of defeat. "I will be taking my leave now sir", Kavinsky said with a bow and went after Kaylee. Mr. Blaine smiled in the direction of Kaylee and Kavinsky. It felt good to see that his daughter was making friends already. He unlocked the car and entered the driver's seat. Laura too hopped into the passenger seat, beside her father and he drove out of their front porch. Kaylee sat in the front passenger seat waiting for Kavinsky to come in. She was angry at the way her father had traded her away to some guy he just met but she wasn't all that angry. Kavinsky went into the car as well and put in the key to start the engine. "Do you have a driver's license?", Kaylee asked immediately as he put the key into its hole. "Yeah, trust me", Kavinsky repl
The next morning, Kaylee woke up very early to arrive at school quickly. She had a bath and dressed up. After she was done, she picked up her earphone and her phone before carrying her backpack. She arranged all her utensils in her bag the way she could before dumping her phone and earphone in it as well. Kaylee walked down the stairs and looked around the dining room. It was really quiet. Mr. Blaine and Laura have not woken up yet. Kaylee's walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. She brought out a nylon of slice bread from the fridge and took some jam too. Kaylee sat in front of the kitchen cabinet. She opened the nylon of slice bread and picked out some of the slices. She put the jam on it as she ate. After eating for a while, Kaylee stood up and poured herself a glass of pineapple juice from the fridge. After eating breakfast, Kaylee stood up and picked up her backpack again before hanging it on her shoulder. She carried the plates to the kitchen and washed the plate s
