“How about… grouchy?” suggested Maya as her clear eyes shone.
Juan turned around and stared at Maya in astonishment. That nickname is pretty accurate. Juan was tempted to give Maya a big thumbs up, but Nina’s deadly glare scared him into keeping his arm down.
Nina refused to admit defeat. She retaliated, “Fine, I’ll accept the nickname grouchy if you also change your name from Maya to piggy.”
“You’re the piggy!”
“No, you are! The one who likes snacks is the pig!”
“Alright, alright, stop it! Juan, keep an eye on these two. Also, girls, I will confiscate your things if you keep arguing like that.”
Nina had her eyes on her beautiful trinkets while Maya stared at her delicious snacks. Neither of them wanted to have their things confiscated, so they turned to one another. They were in sync when they rolled their eyes at one another before shutting up.
The room was finally quiet.
Nicole left the house in a hurry and got to Hillside Villa.
She was about to go hang out with Kyle when Sophia walked over with a curious expression on. Sophia held Nicole’s hand as if they knew each other well.
“So how is it? Is Evan nicer to you now?”
Nicole wasn’t used to being that close to Sophia, but she didn’t feel right retracting her arm either. Nicole thought about it for a while before reporting honestly, “He was surprised to see me this morning…”
Surprised and disgusted, that is. He even told me to f*ck off.
Nicole left that part out because she knew that Sophia could guess it, anyway. Sophia was a little stunned to hear that. Nicole then added, “I went to my place this afternoon because I left some stuffs there, and he had gone to work by the time I got back. I haven’t seen him since.”
They haven’t seen each other since this morning? thought Sophia.
“Did you cook for him?”
“Yes.”
“Did he eat the food? Did he say anything?”
Nicole shook her head and replied, “I wasn’t there at that time, so I have no idea how he acted.”
