"I wasn't too true, it was just one of my cousins, he pranked me like he always does." His hand stopped mid-way upon opening her fridge. Her voice was too calm and straight. Based on how she talked, no one would be suspenseful that she was lying. It was composed and stern and had no hint of double talk.

Their way has been cleared by her people, they ran to their van and drive as if nothing happened to Nick's place, at his grandparent's house.

Stunning gracefully with aggressive waters and uniform splash in it. "How are you?" he took a glance at her."Living like a human," she muttered, it sounded soft and calm perfectly mirrored the atmosphere. It wasn't sunny, clouds had blanket the sky.
