WARFARE HIGH SCHOOL
Charlotte was playing her laptop in her bedroom when someone opened the door. She turned her look and saw her brother, Ghost, coming in to her room.
"Haven't I told you to knock the door first?" Charlotte yelled.
Ghost scratched his head, "Well, sorry for that…I need your help…"
The girl shut down the laptop and closed it. "Okiees…what's that?"
Ghost sat on Charlotte's bed, "Well…I have a date tonight…"
Charlotte gasped, her eyes widened, "Really? OMG! Who's the lucky girl?"
Ghost chuckled, he pretended to thinking so hard, "Hmm…the cold girl…her name's Alexandra Price…"
Charlotte frowned, "You got to be kidding me…why her?"
Ghost stared his sister, "What do you mean?"
"That Mr. Price's niece, right?"
Ghost nodded, "Yes, she is…! What? Something wrong with her?"
Charlotte threw herself to her bed, took a pillow and hugged it. "I dunno…but, she is a strange girl…I never see her smile…"
"So?"
"Come on, Simon! Is there no one else?" Charlotte grumbled.
"I like her, Charlotte!" Ghost claimed, enough to make Charlotte surprised.
"Simon?"
"Charlotte…please…I need your help, what are girls like?"
"Oh Simon, I can't believe this! Although you are falling in love with a strange girl, but…It shows that you're a normal boy…"
"What?"
"You don't know the gossip? People at school said you're a gay! Hahahaha!" Charlotte threw a pillow to Ghost's face.
"Bloody Hell, please don't remind me of that anymore! Never…!" Ghost threw the pillow back but Charlotte caught it successfully. "Now, help me to prepare myself for the date…"

Holly was just back from her school. She was exhausted, there are new members in her club, so she had to interview them for make sure they could join in or not. The girl walked to the kitchen, there she saw James was cutting tomatoes. The boy realized his sister was staring to him.
"Ah, welcome! I'll make the tomato juice…" he smiled.
"Thanks, James…! Oh…I'm so tireeeed…" she stretched her arms.
"Take some rest, then..." James suggested as putting the tomato slices into the juicer.
Holly chuckled then messed James' hair. "Hey, stop that!" James yelled.
The girl was heading to the bathroom when her cell phone ringing. "Who the bloody hell is that…?" Holly growled.
She took the cell phone in her bag and when saw the caller id, she smiled. "Hello, my dear...wassup?"
"Keep that 'my dear' for my cousin, Holly…! Coz he is here now…" Alexandra grumbled from there.
Holly gasped, "Gaz has been here?"
"Yeah…I was surprised too…he was sitting on bench at my house's park when I arrived at home…"
Holly speechless, he missed Gaz so much.
"Hey, Ms. Ramirez…you still there? By the way…I need your help…" Alexandra said shyly.
A handsome guy was staring outside the window. The sky was colored in magenta. What a beautiful evening, he thought.
"Gaz!"
Gaz turned to someone who called him, his cousin, Alexandra. She was standing behind him now.
"What?" Gaz smiled back.
"She missed you so much…"
"I know…"
"I have news…"
"Say it then…"
"She's oscar mike to here…" Alexandra tilted her head.
Gaz gasped, tried to hide his happiness. He missed that girl, too…
"Alright, Alexa…Thanks for informing me…" he half-smiled.
"Oi, no problem, Gaz!" she grinned.

"You sureee?" James' eyes widened. "Well…I…"
"Oh, come on, James! It is the weekend! Let's have fun…!" a girl shrieked from there, Charlotte. "My brother has a date, so I will be alone here…"
"Hey, so do my sister…it can't be…?"
"No…no! Don't worry, James! My brother is not dating with your sister…"
"Oh, good then…" he relieved.
"So…James? What you say?"
James was thinking for a moment, "Okay, let's hang out…" James smiled. "I also don't want to be alone here…"
"By the way, James…could you fetch me? The car had been booked by my brother…"
James paused for a moment, "I hope you don't mind if we'll ride a bike…"
"Yaaay! Of course, I don't mind at all! I'll be waiting for ya!" Charlotte shrieked from there. "See ya, James…!" she hung off the phone.
James smiled, "What an energetic girl…"
Charlotte was in happiness, she imagined will be sit behind James and hugs him from behind. She hummed while looking for the best clothes which would be use for the date.
"Charlotte? What happened to you? You look so happy…" Ghost frowned, standing in front of Charlotte's room.
"Hahaha! Simon! Do you think it is only you who have a date tonight? Me too!" she raised her hands.
"Wow…that's good then…! By the way, how do I look?"
Charlotte gasped, she didn't realize that her brother is so handsome that evening. She walked to him, "Let's see…! Mm-hmm…perfect!"
Ghost chuckled then stroked his sister's hair, "Thank you…"
"Nah…Never mind! Have a good night!"
"You, too…Oh! By the way, who's the lucky guy, huh?"
Charlotte blushed, "Um…first grade boy…my friend since I was at Junior High School…, James Ramirez…"
"Oh…that boy! Holly's brother…" Ghost nodded and when saw the clock he gasped, "I've to go now! See ya!" Ghost kissed Charlotte's forehead before went off.
"Wish you luck!" Charlotte yelled.
Some minutes ago…
22nd Street. Modern City. ModWar World.
Holly parked her blue Volvo. Then she got off from the car, now…in front of her is Alexandra's house. Also, where Gaz was. She took a deep breath then walked in. When she just wanted to rang the bell, someone opened the door.
"I know it is you! Come, I'll be late to the date!" Alexandra growled as pulled her in. "I've taken a bath, now help me to…make up…!"
"Wow…take it easy, anyway…it is first time I see ya so enthusiastically like this…" Holly chuckled.
Alexandra blushed, "Well, you know the reason…"
Holly followed Alexandra to her room, she looked around, hope she find what she was looking for. And, her hope came true. The guy, who she was looking for was there. He was sitting on the sofa at the living room, reading a book. Gaz. The girl froze at place, her heart beating faster than before. Eventually, Gaz was aware that someone was staring at him. He put the book away and turned his sight to the girl. His eyes filled in surprise, then he smiled.
"Hello…" he greeted. Holly was speechless, then suddenly…
"Come on, Holly! Help me…! Oh, Gaz…may I borrow her for a moment?" Alexandra smiled.
"Sure…" Gaz chuckled.
"No…! That's not suit for night! Here, try this one!" Holly offered the black turtleneck and dark blue vest. "Whoa, I didn't expect before…you have some nice collection of dresses!" Holly amazed.
"My uncle bought these all for me..." Alexandra said as wearing the turtleneck.
"Here! Use this skirt!" Holly threw the black skirt to Alexandra.
"I don't like skirt!" Alexandra protested.
Holly rolled her eyes then looked back to the wardrobe. "Ah, here! What a beauty jeans!" she threw it to Alexandra.
"Better…" Alexandra nodded.
Holly smiled then walked to the table, she put her handbag on the table and took out the makeup kits from it. "I can't believe you don't have any makeup stuff here…"
"Well, I hate that…" Alexandra stated. She had put her costume on.
"Whatever…, you have done with it? Now sit here!" Holly pointed to the chair.
"Makeup?" Alexandra growled.
"Hey! I'm the boss now, do what I say, lady! You…don't want to look beautiful on his eyes?"
Alexandra moped, she walked to the chair and then sat down. Then Holly started to do her job.
"Don't too gaudy, ok?" Alexandra worried.
"I know…I know…!" Holly grumbled.
Some minutes later…
Alexandra couldn't believe what she is staring on the mirror. She looked so beautiful.
"So…what do you think?" Holly put her hands on Alexandra's shoulder.
"Awesome…." Alexandra gasped. "You are bloody outrageous, mate! Thank you…!"
"Na….Never mind! Look…you are so beautiful tonight!" Holly was proud of what she had done.
"What…? So I am not beautiful for another day?"
"Hey…hey! Please don't get it wrong!" Holly frowned.
"Hahaha! Just kidding…just kidding!" Alexandra laughed.
Holly laughed with her, Alexandra was seldom to smile even laughed, she thought. Suddenly, the car's horn heard.
"Hey, Alexa! A boy is waiting for you outside!" Gaz shouted.
Alexandra gasped, her heart beating faster. "Oh, what should I do? What should I do?"
Holly frowned, "What do you mean 'what should I do?", huh? Go get there!" she pulled Alexandra out from the room to the front door.
Before opened the door, Alexandra took a peep from the window. "Oh, my God, it is him!"
Holly rolled her eyes, she initiated to open the door then stood behind the door. Ghost confused, who opened the door while no one in front of him. Alexandra surprised, where's Holly? She shrieked on heart. Then she dared herself to show herself to Ghost.
"Um, hello Ghost…" her voice trembled.
"Oh, hello, Alexandra…" Ghost smiled. He amazed of what he saw.
Holly smiled. She still standing on her place although the door had been closed. Ghost and Alexandra already went to the date. Then Gaz was coming.
"Holly? What are you doing there?" Gaz asked, enough to make her surprised.
"Gaz…" Holly gasped.
"Don't cry…I am here…" Gaz uttered as walking to her.
"I'm not crying!" she moped. "But…I miss you…"
"I only leaved you for 6 months…" he hugged her.
"You said only 6 months?"
Gaz kissed her forehead. That was the way to make her speechless. Suddenly…
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THERE?"
"Uncle?"
"Mr. Price?"
"Embracing in my house…Gaz! Holly Ramirez!" Price yelled.
Gaz and Holly released their hug swiftly.
"Why you didn't tell me, Mr. Price is at home?" Holly whispered to Gaz in annoyed tone.
"P-pardon me…he was sleeping in his room when you come…" Gaz apologized.
