Nonny looked around and caught Deema looking at him. He quickly got up from the couch.
"It was nice hanging with you guys but I got to go." he said while trying not to be obvious he was wiping tears.
"Aw but we just got here." Oona said with a frown.
Nonny just ignored this. He usually listens to Oona about everything but he didn't care at all right now.
"Please stay longer." Oona begged.
Nonny ignored her, grabbed his book bag and swam toward the door.
"Bye." he said opening the door. "See you all whenever."
Everyone waved bye as he swam out the door closing it behind him.
"Well." Molly started. "We can still plan for the party."
Everyone nodded except Deema. The only guppy clueless about Oona and Goby's relationship. She just sat there puzzled.
Molly took out a paper out from her bag. She placed it on the table so everyone can study the supplies they needed. Everyone looked at Molly confused.
"This is your homework." Goby said.
Molly snatched her math homework. She dug through her bag and took out a lined paper with writing on it. She placed it on the table for everyone to see.
"Why do we need hand sanitizer?" Goby asked.
"Do we want everyone's germs on my parents' furniture?" Molly asked firmly.
Goby and Gil just looked at each other. Having a conversation with their eyes.
"Yes we do." Gil said to Goby still making eye contact.
Goby tried to keep his laugh in but he made it obvious.
"Goby, you look like you're going to burst. Are you okay?" Oona asked.
"Yes." Goby said faster than the speed of light after laughing secretly on the inside.
Deema still sat there confused. She tried to convince herself it wasn't happening. (Deema in denial am I right?)
"Ugh. He can't be dating her. It's Oona. For shelling out loud, she still plays with dolls." she thought to herself.
"Hm. I'll get the confetti and streamers. My father probably has some in his store." Gil said proudly.
"I'll get the fireworks." Goby volunteered.
"I'll get balloons." Oona finally says after investigating the list about one hundred times.
Molly looked at Deema. Deema can see her looking from the corner of her eye. She turned her head to see Molly giving the most caring smile ever.
"Deema, you can help me with the snacks if you want?" Molly said.
"Sure." Deema replied trying to rack up a fake smile.
