I called in sick today.
I got tons of reasons why but the fact that I don't have any face to show in school is mostly the reason why.
My parents didn't know anything about it but I told them that I really don't feel good.
My dad's a doctor, he really knows if I'm really sick or not. He thinks that I'm just stressed out and told me to stay in bed and rest.
Hansel entered my room.
"Good Morning baby" He said, smiling.
"Hi" I weakly greeted him.
"Move" He lay beside me.
"When are you going back to the university?"
"Later, this afternoon."
I frowned.
"Don't worry baby, I'll be back for thanksgiving"
"But we didn't get to bond longer"
"That is why I'm glad that you called sick today" He grins.
"Hansel, I'm not feeling good and dad would get mad if he knows I did not rest"
"C'mon, do it for your good looking brother." I rolled my eyes.
"Alright. So what are we gonna do? Don't tell me we're just gonna play video games and eat pizza all day"
He faked a laugh.
"Oh Hansel"
"What? Do you know anything better to do?"
I grinned.
"YES!"
"What?"
"Let's go to a Karaoke bar!"
He grins and nods.
"That's a good idea, go freshen up. I'll wait for you downstairs" He patted my head and then leaves.

JOSHUA'S POV
Lou and I have Biology class together.
the teacher said she was sick, so what am I gonna do now? I burried my face on my desk, the class is too boring.
"Hey, you know the girl Louise?"
I heard someone talking, I looked up.
"Who is that girl?"
"You know the girl who's always sitting at the back."
"What about her?"
So they're gossiping about Louise?
"She asked Andrew to sleep with her!"
"What? What a loser. Andrew would never hit her, I mean like she's too ugly right?"
I'm starting to get irritated.
"Yeah, that's why Andrew embarrassed her in class yesterday."
I'm clenching my fist already, I want to punch them so bad.
"Good for her"
"She deserved it" They both laughed.
That's it. I stood up.
"Hey you two. Don't you have anything to do but gossip about someone? Get a life!" I shout. I just couldn't control it anymore. All of my classmates and even my teacher were looking at me. I get my bag and walked out.
What a nice way to start my day. I'll probably just skip my classes, I got nothing better to do since Lou's not here.
I get some stuffs on my locker. I see Andrew walking with a girl, I approached him.
"Hey jerk"
He stopped.
"Oh, you're talking to me?" He smirked.
"Why the hell did you lie and embarrass Louise yesterday?"
"What's it to you huh?"
I punched him, busting his lips. The girl with him was shocked.
"That's for Louise, you douche" I walked away. He didn't punch me back, he was too busy stopping the bleeding.
I drove home.

LOUISE'S POV
"Hansel you sing like a retarded seal" I say to him as he sings Every little she does is magic. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Evert little thing she does is magic, everything she do just turns me on even though before my life was tragic now I know my love for her goes on" He dances as he sings. He is out of tune. I laugh hysterically.
"Hansel you're hurting my ears" I shout to him, but he didn't listen and just continued on singing.
The song was finished. I had a great time. It's already 12:21, we need to go so Hansel could prepare for his trip.
"Baby, do you want to go get some lunch?"
"Are you asking me on a date?" I said folding my arms.
"Yes I am. Let's go eat there" He pointed at a diner just across the street of the karaoke bar.
"Sure"
"The place seems nice." I said, as we entered.
"Yeah"
The waitress approached us.
"What are you having?" She said weakly, but when she saw Hansel she started to smile.
I checked the menu.
"Hmm.. I'll just have some fries and chicken wings. You?"
"Burger and some fries."
"Drinks?"
"Orange juice, how bout you Hansel?"
"Strawberry milkshake please"
"Okay, do you need anything else?"
"No" We said in chorus.
"The waitress totally likes you" I tease him
"No"
"Go check her out" I giggled
"Baby, you know you're the only girl for me"
I rolled my eyes.
"And besides, I'm busy protecting you over boys"
"Hansel, you need to have a girlfriend. Don't you have a crush or whatever?"
"No I do not have."
"Wait, are you Gay?!"
"What are you talking about? No, I'm straight."
"Then why don't you have a girlfriend then?"
"Well, let's just say I'm waiting for the right moment" He winks.
"Oh puh-lease Hansel." I fold my arms.
The same waitress delivered our food. Before she went away, she left a piece of paper with her number on it and the words "call me xoxo" I laughed my butt off and Hansel did too as we ate our meal.

Luckily, Mom and Dad weren't home yet when we arrived at our house. Hansel started packing and I helped him.
After several minutes, Mom and Dad are home.
"Hi hun. How are you?" Dad greets me.
"Quite good."
"So Hansel, you ready to go?"
"Yes."
I couldn't help but to get a little bit sad.
Hansel gets all of his things and puts it on the trunk of his car.
"Bye Dad" He hugs Dad. Dad pats him on the shoulder.
"Bye Mom" He hugs mom. Mom starts to cry.
"Oh mommy, I'll be back." He said, trying to stop mom from crying. He kisses her on the head.
"Bye Hansel!" I jump on him and hug him.
"Bye baby. See you soon. I had a great time today" He whispers to me. I smiled.
"I did too, well except my ears they didn't have a good time" I joked. He chuckles.
"I hope you forget about the problem that you're dealing with right now. I love you baby" He pats me on the head. He goes to his car.
"Love you guys, tell Gianna to go back to college!" He drives off.
How did Hansel know that I have a problem? And more importantly, where is Gianna?

I stay in my bed. I get my phone, I was going to order pizza, I was surprised to see I got 25 texts and 3 missed calls from Josh. I smiled. I texted him.
Me:
Hi, did you miss me already?
He replied quickly.
Josh:
Yes. You feeling any better?
Me:
Yeah, kind of. Don't you have a class right now?
Josh:
I skipped my classes. Nothing better to do, you're absent.
I smiled.
Me:
Oh Josh.
Josh:
Want to come over?
Me:
Sure. But, I don't know where you live.
Josh:
I'll pick you up. Be there in 5 mins. ;)
Me:
Okay.
I quickly fixed myself. I'm quite excited.

"Wow you're house is really big" It's a freaking mansion. I mean our house is pretty big already but their house is much more bigger than ours.
"Nah" Oh humble Josh is humble.
"Where are your parents?" I asked, their house is pretty quiet.
"Orlando. Take a seat. You want something to drink?"
"I'm good. I thought you guys moved here already?"
"No, I did."
"So you're here, I mean you're the only one who lives here?"
"Yes"
"You have a big house, and you're alone?"
"Do you want to live with me?" He winks
"No" I punched him on the arm.
"Want to watch a movie?"
"Yes. What movie?"
"Disney?"
"You like Disney huh?"
"Who doesn't?" We both laughed.
He picked toy story 3
"Nice. Very manly" I teased him.
"Whatever" He pulled me closer to him.
"H-hey" He faced me. He really looks good.
"Is there something wrong with my face?" I said shyly.
"No." He pushed my hair to the back of my ears, that are covering my face. He smiles.
"You're so beautiful" I blushed.
He lays on my lap. I did not move.
We stayed like that until the movie ended.
