"Have you seen Eion?" Leroy said after a few days barging in on the door with a troubled look, and startling me, Hannah, and Luke as we chill at the balcony. It was already afternoon, and I was in Aunt Maggie’s house again, as Hannah has been bugging me lately. Good thing that Aunt Maggie summoned us to check out the church and have the rehearsals. "Oh, didn't know you two were here," said Dax, appearing behind Leroy. "What? He ran away, did he?" Hannah said. I looked at her. Ran away? Why are they looking for the robot that much? "Does this normally happen?" I asked them. "Yes," answered Leroy, "But now, we were looking for him since we're supposed to go to church in a while and we haven't really seen him around..." Leroy asked. "Doesn't he always stick to you two? You're supposed to be his friend, right?" I asked sarcastically. Leroy smiled sheepishly, "Well, he's complicated sometimes, wanders off alone once a while.""Everyone else is a

I nodded, "Yup."   Thinking for a minute, he firmly answered, "Then no.”    Really? I have to push him further than, he’ll agree for sure. “Come on, don't be so hard to get. "No, Snow.” He said.    "I mean don't be shy.” "No.”    I grew tired of it. Damn, huffing, I yelled at him," Just say yes already!"   "Okay," he finally said, agreeing to my offer helplessly like he had no other choice. “There, I agreed. Happy now?” He asked.  Perfect. "So, now that we are 'practically friends'", I quote. "Maybe

"Snow, help me!" Emma called me in the morning, as it was Saturday and we are off from work. "What is it?" Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I yawned. I really hate people calling me by the morning.   "I have...a DATE!" she yelled through the phone. I sat up straight, hitting my head on the headboard but that's not what I was worried about.   "A what?" I asked, "Can you repeat that again?"   "A date, Snow! And I'm having problems! Come over here ASAP! I need you! I don't know what to dress and what makeup and-" "Whoa there, Emma. Do you think I'm the best person to ask for that? And who is the person? Let me know who the guy is before going-"  

He was still breathing heavily. Looking at him up close, I watched his chest rise up and down before pushing him away from me. I sent him a glare, standing up and dusting off any dirt on my clothes.    He looked at me curiously, then looked around. "The movie ended?"   "Yes," I answered, diverting my gaze to him. "I've been waking you up for a while now."   "Oh." He said in realization. He brushed his pants and stood up, "Let's go then."   “Why did you even grab me?” I said, referring to what he just did.   “Sorry, that was just a reflex.” He said. Well, I have to believe him for that I guess. Or I would think that he was just teasing me. Nevermind tha

I glanced at Eion, who was still eating. "We are?"   He nodded. I sent him my plastic smile. "I'm not informed." What the hell is he saying? Is that what he really came here for? So he's still not giving up on Emma and Dax's date. "Didn’t I already said I'm not going?"   Mom left us and Nathan was silently watching us the whole time, before tugging at Eion's shirt. "Can we play now, Eionnyy?" He said as he pouted. "You promised to play with me last time.."   Eion patted him in the head and picked Nathan on his armpits. "We will after we eat."   That made Nathan gleamed excitedly. Eion drank from the glass of water and stood up, ignoring my question. "Thanks for the food, Aunt Eve. I love your cooking." He then turne
