In the morning Mrs. Cruz cooked breakfast for them but only Andrei's on downstair, She thought that maybe Fleur was just regaining her sleep.

"Andrei? Can you go upstairs and look for Fleur?" Mrs. Cruz commands Andrei.

"Yes, Mom!" Andrei answer and do what his moms said.

At Fleur's room, she's awake but still not doing anything, she's just shock and deep thinking and suddenly Andrei knocks on her door.

"Fleur! Fleur! Are you awake?" It asks while knocking on the door continuously.

Fleur has nothing to do but to stand and open the door for him, She got interrupted by what Andrei did on the door.

"Goodmorning!" Andrei's greeted.

"Morning," she answered in a dull tone.

"It seems you not okay but mom said I'll call you for breakfast," Andrei explained.

They go downstairs and share the breakfast with Mrs. Cruz in a normal way, whether Fleur is still depressed.

"Fleur?" Andrei call her attention, she just look up to see him, "Our friends will go here, later in the afternoon except for Memphis, we need to talk about what we should do on how you two can talk to each other," He said it while gesturing his hands.

"Really? What time?" The excitement was obvious to Fleur but you could still see her hesitation.

"They said maybe 1 to 2 pm they're already here but as far as they are my friends I know that they will extend that time for at least 30minute to 1 hour," Andrei's explained it while laughing.

"You know Fleur, I have something for you," Mrs. Cruz cuts them off.

"What is it Mom?" Andrei ask.

"It's not for you so you don't have to know it," Mrs. Cruz sarcastically said.

"But I want to know," Andrei's said while laughing so his mom won't get mad.

"Whatever, son" Mrs. Cruz annoyed, "Let's go, Fleur?" She asks.

Fleur just nodded and follow Mrs. Cruz going upstairs, they go to Mrs. Cruz's room and it shows her some dresses and undergarments.

"I buy those undergarments and those dresses are given by a friend of mine who has a daughter that is at least older than you," It explained and sit on the bed to show the dress to Fleur.

"Thank You, Mrs. Cruz! I appreciate it," Fleur answer and sit beside her.

Meanwhile, Andrei's already talking to his friends r Andrei did washing the dishes.

"I thought you were going to be late again e," he laughed as he greeted them.

Sitting straight as if they were at their own house, "What do you think of us latecomers, Hahaha," one of them also laughed.

"Yes Love," Andrei turned around when he heard his girlfriend's voice from the door, he approached her and kissed her on the cheek.

"I thought you couldn't go?" He asked her.

"Duh, it's me!" She said while pointing his boyfriend's nose.

"Yeah, that's you!" He even pinched her nose, "You'll never be absent in chattering, Hahaha!" He laughs and so did their friends.

"Silly!" She even slapped her boyfriend's arm and laughed and sat down.

"Ahm! Stay there, I'll just call Fleur upstairs," He said.

"Okay," They answer and continue talking to each other.

Andrei go upstairs to look for Fleur and he found her in his mom's room, He knocked first before he enters.

"What are you doing here?!" His moms freaked out.

"Mom! Don't shout like I'm a thief," Warningly, Andrei's said, "Fleur, Our friends are here," He looked at her and never mind his mom who is still yelling at him.

"Ahm, Okay! I'll follow you," Fleur forcedly smiled at him, "Auntie, I need to go downstairs to see Andrei and Memphis friends," it said goodbye to her.

"Okay, Fleur take your time," Mrs. Cruz said and let her go.

Fleur follow Andrei as she said and it leadsheleads backyard where his friends go lately, They all stare at Fleur not because she's new but because of its undeniable beauty but with her sad eyes that show aaaw aw aaa of depression.

"Aahhh! Guys, This is Fleur," Andrei introduces her.

"Hello," Fleur greeted.

"You're Memphis ex? Wow! How come you two break up?" One of their friends amazingly asks

"Aahhhh!" Fleurs trying to figure out what she's gonna say but nothing let go of her mouth.

"You know, You don't need to know about that!" Andrei's cut them cause he sees that Fleur struggling to answer, "You're a gossiper," He added.

"Duh! As if you not!" It shouted back.

"Duh! I am not! Hahahaha!" Andrei copies the tone of his friends and suddenly they all laugh at it.

When they figured out that Fleur is out of their circle they stop laughing and get back serious again, They started to talk about what they gonna do and let all agree on it.

"Thank you for helping me," Fleur's said and bow her head to show appreciation.

"That's okay!" Andrei answer.

"Yeah, it's just a little help, Hahaha!"

"You're not the only one that will help this plan, you know!"

"Yes! Memphis was so depressed the time he came here but I think now, We will see his smile again!"

They got shut when suddenly realized what does he said and see how Fleur got sad but then she stood up again and forcedly smile at them.

"Thank you again!" She said and bow once more.

"Here's your food!" Mrs. Cruz arrived and Fleur approached her to help with the food she was carrying.

"Thanks Fleur," She said as she gave one of the trays to Fleur.

"It's nothing Auntie," Fleur said and take the tray, "Thanks for the food though," She added and Mrs. Cruz just smiled.

They gave all the food to Andrei's friends and they grab it as if they didn't eat for at least a month of their lives.

"Thank you, Auntie!" They all said and eat happily.

'When it comes to food they'll always act like a child' Andrei smirked at what he thinks and join them.
