"Ms Freya Xandrine" the nurse called my name.

Mom took me to an OPD clinic when I told her I cried all night because my stomach was in a lot pain. She was very angry why didn't I texted her so she wouldve came home early from the party.

Deya, on the other hand, was already asleep when I came home last night. Thank goodness. She as well believed I was really sick when she saw how swollen my eyes were when she got up this morning. Best liar in the world award goes to me.

The physician gave me a script for a strong painkiller and instructed me that next time i'll get the pain again I have to go to the hospital straight away cause he reckoned its my appendicitis and added that when the pain is prolonged without proper management it can be very fatal.

I sighed in relief. At least no any other diagnostic tests.

My phone beeps. It's a text from Jo.

Jo: Hi. You mustve fallen asleep last night you forgot to text me. How are you feeling? 😚

Me: "Im okay. Im here at the hospital.🤒

Jo: "What? Why? Where?"😲😐

Me: It's weekend right? You ask like were in our english class. Im fine. I just have to make an excuse for my swollen eyes and my OA mom took me here.😐😅

Jo: Youre crazy! What did you said to her? Im laughing right now.😂

Me: Suuuusshhh! I dont kiss and tell.😜

Jo: I'll have my kiss soon. 😘 Steph is coming home today. Im going to her place and end everything about us, if its okay with you?😬

Me: Ofcourse. Yeah. About time! No kisses for her though. And, keep your hands to yourself.🤨

Jo: I'll try.🤔

Me: F. U! 🤬

Jo: Be careful what you wish for. 👿

Me: Im serious you jerk! You can give her a friendly hug. no more than that. 😠

Jo: Look who's acting jealous now. 😝

Me: STFU and just do what you're told! 🙄

Jo: Relax, I'm just kidding! My lips are yours baby.❤️

Me: Baby.your.ass! Youre such a flirt! Gtg. Have to buy a gift for glenn. 🤘🏼

Jo: Is your mom coming with you?😯

Me: Ofcourse. Why? 🧐

Jo: Just making sure you're not alone. 🙃

Me: I know. M'kay.. Byieeee. Text later. 😘

Jo: Yeap. Be safe. iLy. 🥰

I died.
I was grinning from ear to ear as I re-read his last text a hundred times. He already text me the L word. Does he mean it though?

He's gonna talk to Steph. I hope it goes well and Steph doesnt flirt with him or anything otherwise I'll kill him. I will know if he's lying anyway. I will see it in his eyes when I talk to him tomorrow.

"What time will the party finish again?" mom asked while scanning her eyes at the jewelry shop.
