The Days

Chapter 14

Zoella's POV

I took out my phone and went through the texts. I was replying to a text when a new one popped up. It was Anna.

From Anna:
I'll be there in 5.

To Anna:
5 what??

From Anna:
5 seconds

To Anna:
???

There was no reply, but right on que, my bedroom door opened and before I could look up someone jumped on me.

"Ow", I cried. "Get off me woman" I said pushing her away.

"I told you I'm coming."Anna said, finally moving aside.

"Yeah, but you did not mention you were coming to kill me." I said still recovering from the pain.

She flipped me off and sat up.

"What's for dinner tonight."

"I don't know, ask my mum."
I replied picking up my phone.

"Oh come on, Zoe, talk to me. I'm bored."

I sat up and looked at her for a moment before asking her the question running in my mind.

"What did you and Liam talk about in the cafeteria today?"

"I'll go ask your mum what's for dinner." she said about to get up.

"I'm serious here, Anna." I gave her a look and she sat down again.

"We just talked about normal stuff, you know, nothing much." She was fiddling with the hem of her t-shirt. I knew she was lying.

"Tell me, Anna."I said looking in her eyes.

Her eyes brimmed with tears. She blinked them away and said,
"I broke up with him."

My expressions softened and I went to hug her, but she pushed me away.

"No don't throw a pity party now."She sniffed.

I was about to say something else when my mum's voice was heard throughout the house.

"Dinner is ready".

Anna gave me a small smile and rushed out of the room.
I just shook my head and went downstairs too.

Everyone except me was on the table. Dinner was already served when I entered the room.

I sat on the seat beside Anna, opposite to Luke.

We started eating in silence when suddenly Luke said,
"Zoe, do you remember when we were kids we used to have prank weeks?"

Before I could reply my mum said, "No she doesn't remember and even you don't remember. I don't want you kids ruining my house."

My dad just laughed from his seat and no one else said anything.

After a moment my phone dinged and I sneaked it out.

From Anna:
What's prank week?

To Anna:
It's like a week when Luke and I used to prank each other. And whoever gets pranked the most looses. And the looser has to be the winners slave for an entire day.

From Anna:
It sounds fun. We should do it.

To Anna:
😒 With my mum being here no chance.

My mum cleared her throat and we looked up.

"I forgot to mention that next week I'm going on a work trip." She turned to dad, "I'll be out for the whole week so you have to take care of the kids and the house."

"Next week? No way. I told you Lauren, I'm not in town that week." my dad replied.

They looked at each other as if having a secret conversation. Then they turned to us.

"We can take care of ourselves." Luke said.

Dad looked relived, but mum looked unconvinced.

"It's a school week so anyway we are gonna be there half of the time." I said.

"You can't cook, Zoe." She said. Okay now that was a good point.

"I can cook. In fact I'm a great cook. Also my mum's never home so she won't even notice."
Good save, Anna.

"Well then," my dad said, "they can take care of themselves and I'm sure they won't throw any parties. So there is no problem now, is there?"

"Okay" my mum didn't sound really happy with this. Whereas we were really happy. We mentally high fived each other.

"But" My mum said.
Of course there are always terms and conditions.
"No prank week" she said sternly.

"Not at all, Lauren, not at all." Said Luke.

"We'd never do that"

"Never in a million years."

"Okay fine. If I come home to a mess, you, Miss Zoella Austin, you will be grounded."

I gulped, nodding my head and continued eating.
