The next day I didn't go back to the café because of what happened there with Darien. When I looked in the window I saw my friends sitting at their usual table laughing, and having a good time. I started to walk away when I heard my name being called. I turned around, and to my surprise I saw that the voice belonged to Lala. "Lala, did you just call my name?" I asked her. "Yes. Why don't you come inside the café and join us?" she asked. "I can't." I answered. "Why not?" she asked. "I can't. Not after what happened last time." I snapped.
I gasped at what I just said. "I'm sorry." I said to Lala. "It's ok. I understand." she said before walking away. When I got home I laid down on my bed and waited for either my mother or Serena to call me down for supper. "Noel, time for supper!" Serena said. I walked downstairs into the kitchen and sat down in my seat at the table. "So. How was school?" my mother asked. "Fine." I said. When I finished eating, then took my dishes to the sink, I went back to my room. I fell onto my bed after I changed into my pajamas and went to sleep.
