"Come on we have to got to prepare for what Francesca told us to do" Scarlett said getting up and stretching her arms.
"I can not believe her! Walking round like she all superior telling me what to do" Tanisha kissed her teeth.
"She lucky she got my Wizrd I would pummelled her to the ground by now, she even lucky that I didn't use my fists but I didn't wanna make a scene you know but she's just…Fran is so messed up"
"I know she has some issues especially when it comes being civil towards others but it's up to us to keep her more restrained or she might do something bad that we won't be able to cover up and well it won't make both of us get off the hook either" Scarlett said seeing Tanisha's face turn from angry to anxious.

Phil, Keely and I sat by the fountain were lots of little kids were making wishes and throwing pennies into it and there were other teenage couples whispering into each other ears and giggling. Then there was a small boy that ran across holding a bag immediately a security guard appeared screaming after him.
"It's eleven thirty am, there has got to be more things to do" Keely said looking around to see anywhere else to go.
"Why don't we just go home relax, and never speak of mall again" Phil replied.
"We can get a facial" suggested Keely.
"I hate facials!" Phil and I both said,exchanging amused looks.
"We can play in Pickford Park?" I suggested
"Like a picnic?" said Phil.
"I was thinking the swings"
"I'm thinking bor-ring!" Keely moaned.
"We can go get smoothies from the shop behind me" Phil gestured.
We nodded and went inside the shop. Phil bought us all smoothies. It was really packed a perfect time to make a perfect fool out of Keely.
I dropped my smoothie purposely on the floor some spilled out and Keely slipped on it and fell to the ground her own smoothie was flying in the air and then landed right on her shirt. Everyone and I mean everyone laughed even Phil who tried to hide it.
"Oops, I'm so sorry Keely, I'm such a klutz" I shrugged my shoulders and walked on to the table with Phil following but he looked back at her sympathetically.
One of the people behind the counter gave her a cloth and she began to wipe away the smoothie on her shirt but the stain appeared more and more. Most people stopped laughing there just a sound of faint giggles. Keely looking embarrassed and upset ran to the bathrooms.
"Keely's upset I better go after her" Phil got up but I stopped him.
"I'll go, since she's probably in the ladies room" Phil thanked me and I went inside the ladies bathroom. I heard Keely crying behind one of the cubicles. Besides anyone can stop those bright pink shoes from anywhere.
"Aww, Keely I'm so sorry I didn't mean to drop my smoothie on the floor, how wicked of me" I smiled evilly. I knocked on her cubicle door again.
Keely came out her eyes were all puffy and red from crying.
"That was so embarrassing!" she screeched as she wiped her eyes with tissue.
"Don't worry you'll get over it" I said happily. Keely stopped wiping her eyes and looked at me suspiciously.
"You know Tiffany I think you dropped your smoothie on purpose"
"You think?" I walked out of the bath room and sat back down on the table telling Phil that Keely is fine.
-
Keely changed her shirt that she had bought from the shoe/clothes store. She brighten up a bit after that but made sure she avoided talking to me.
"I'm sorry Keel, I shouldn't have laughed like that and you now have the right to go and get a smoothie and pour it all over me" Phil said as he gave her a sweet lopsided smile that Keely could do only but smile back and show forgiveness towards him.
"It's ok Phil" They both stared at each other not realising their surroundings. It felt like it was just them two, staring at each other lovingly, it is always recognisable to them, they do this all the time, it was what they usually did waiting for one of them to speak, to say something to make them laugh but no each one of them too shy or scared to say something from heat waves passing through each other's eyes. I noticed this and coughed loudly notifying my presence. They glanced at me and walked away from each other, both standing on opposite side of me.
"Ok what to do now" Keely said annoyed with keep having to say it.
Phil accidentally bumped into some people as they passed him.
"Oh uh, I dunno, Tiff?"
"Let's play with your gadgets Phil" I suggested.
"They're all at home, speaking of home, can we go home?" Phil asked yet again bumping into another pedestrian.
"No way, the day has not even begun!" exclaimed Keely.
"Sure it did like a few hours ago" Phil quipped.
"Wow, I'm hungry let's go inside here and get some food" they followed me to go get some food in "Joe's have whatever you want" shop. I told Phil and Keely that I'll get the food. They agreed and walked off to get a table.
Think, think what food does Keely hate, stilton cheese? Well everyone hates that. Think back, ohhhhhh yeahhhhhhh!
"It's sloppy joe week at school" Phil yelled excitedly.
"Ahhh I hate sloppy joes" she cried.
"Ok can I have three large plates of Sloppy joe, and make it snappy" I winked.
-
"Here you go three large portions of Sloppy joes" the waiter put on table and Keely looked horrified. I smiled at both of them and smiled mischievously at Keely as she began still staring at it.
"Erm, Tiffany, Keely is not exactly a big fan of Sloppy joes" Phil said looking at Keely and I back and forth apprehensively.
"Oh, I so didn't know that!" I fake-exclaimed.
"I am so sorry Keel, it's just that I love this stuff, hey why don't you go buy yourself something else" I smiled and went on eating. Keely looked at me indignantly and stomped her way to the counter to get some food that she'd have to pay for.
"Isn't this day boring Phil, I much like it if we went home" I said staring at him, completely mesmerised.
"That what I've been saying but no, Keely wants some adventure, great place to do it especially at a place you've been to a million times, and it's like-"
"Let's just ditch her" I said firmly, throwing my dirty napkin roll over Phil's head.
"Ditch her?"
I nodded slowly.
"We can't just ditch Keely, wouldn't it make her mad, you know at us?" he asked looking over at Keely who looked way far from happy.
"Phil, ditching her wouldn't be a crime, we'd just go home" I moved my face over to Phil's, my face just inches a way from his.
"She'll will never have to know" I instantly got up rummaging with my bags and Phil stood up wondering what to do next.
"Maybe will shouldn't, it will hurt her feelings" Phil said nervously fiddling his fingers.
"Oh come on, Keely is a big girl she can take care of herself" Before I let him say anymore I grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the exit door. Keely ordered a salad and walked back to the table and saw we weren't there. She began to look around the room hoping one of us to appear. Something ticked inside of her head and she realised maybe we weren't even in the mall anymore. She felt someone poke her on her shoulder. She looked to her right and saw a group of gothic-dressed teenagers. The girl with purple/black dyed hair and pierced lip spoke.
"Sorry dude but your friends left… like a few seconds ago… like very quickly" she said leisurely staring at Keely with a thoughtful face, trying to find something.
"Yeah, I think I can see that thank you very much!" and with that Keely marched out the door.
I am never talking to Phil and Tiffany again!
Phil and I were walking to house laughing loudly over a joke I made. As soon I as we stopped laughing uncomfortable silence began to grow in our atmosphere. I coughed then asked,
"Phil do you think I'm pretty"
His eyes widened in bewilderment and he looked at me to see if I was serious. He got back his composure and said rather croakily,
"Yeah of course, erm… why you ask?"
I smirked, "Because I wanted to"
"Tiffany, do you think I'm pretty?" he asked with mock-seriousness but you could still see the amusement in his eyes.
"Shut up" I laughed he opened the door to the house. We looked around everything seemed normal and expected…for Phil, but it was scary for me, everything was a little bit too quiet.
"Wow, Pim still isn't awake probably realised her nightmares come true" Phil smirked. "No-one loves me!" he shouted imitating Pim's voice. Just then Pim entered the kitchen looking tired and her hair extremely messy. Phil eyed her suspiciously.
Please make Pim disappear.
"Earth to Pim, you still in this universe, not that you usually were, something wrong?" Phil asked but without concern.
Pim looked at Phil and patted his shoulder repeatedly.
"Of course I am silly, oh most darling brother could you cook me up some breakfast, I am really really hungry" she said happily beating her stomach.
"Don't you mean lunch, anyway if anyone needs me I'll be in my room" Phil done a head-salute at us then walked off. I finally realised the breath I was holding in. I slowly walked to follow him but then I heard Pim sing
"How I can't wait for Sunday, Tiffany will leave and I'll be so hap-pay!"
I ignored her and decided to go to the garage to see how S&T were.
"Hey Fran, how you doing?" Tanisha asked taking a swift step forward making me step back.
"Well do youhave everything prepared, did you get a woman and a son to scan with the insta-morph" I asked impatiently.
"Of course, we never fail" Scarlett replied solemnly.
"Good that's what I like to hear"
"You know you this can't carry on for long"
"That's why I'm trying to speed up things for a little bit, Keely is for once the least of my concern, I'm just a bit afraid about what Pim will do next and if Sunday goes well" I huffed and sat down on the torn and nearly dismantled sofa.
"If you're looking for a confidant, I ain't it" Tanisha rudely said and sat on another horrible-looking chair.
"I never really considered you one anyway" She kissed her teeth at me and looked away from me extremely irritated.
-
It's about 8:10 PM right now and I'm staring out the window nervous about tomorrow. Confessing to Phil about everything doesn't really seem to going to happen any quickly. I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in" I looked disappointed to see Pim walk in looking very pleased with herself.
"Can you believe the way you just said "Come in" like it's your own room" Pim said.
"Drop it Pim, I'm here so get over it"
"Not for long, Sunday seems to be coming quick don't you think?" she left the room and left me to again ponder over about tomorrow.
Minutes later Phil came in and gave me a plate of food that his Mom cooked for dinner. I began eating gleefully and Phil stared at me sceptically.
"What?"
"Why are you and Keely not talking?"
"Because we just ain't" I continued to eat, why does everyone keep asking me questions.
"Come on there must be a reason" I dropped my knife and fork got upthenslid into my sleeping bag.
"Tiff-"
"I'm sleeping Phil" I retorted turning my face away from him.
"If you were you wouldn't reply back"
"Thanks Mr state-the-obvious"
"If you're upset about seeing your Aunt tomorrow then I completely understand how you feel"
"Ha! You can't even begin to understand how I feel"
"About your Aunt? I'm sure she won't kill us if she sees us, all she has-"
"Not my Aunt, about everything!"
Phil looked confused and poked me and I turned around in my sleeping bag to face him.
"Whatever it is your keeping from me, tell me now"
I can't.
I fake-yawned and said-
"Phil I'm sleepy, good night"
-
It was Sunday morning
Phil and I talked
I dodged Pim
Hid from Phil's parents
Played with Curtis
Argued with Tanisha
Cuffed Scarlett on the head
Hugged Phil
Watched TV
Got dressed to get ready to see Aunt
Hugged Phil again
Argued with Pim
Ushered S&T out the door to activate the plan
Made up a song about Keely which consists of rude things about her
Talked to Phil
Worked on his computer
Felt butterflies crawl up my stomach
Phil lied to his parents saying that we were going over to Keely's house to talk. I watched from outside I could to tell he wasn't happy about lying to his Mom. She merely nodded but I could tell she was suspicious about what was going on.
"How come Pim is alsogoing to Keely's?"
-------
We arrived in Downtown Pickford.
"I thought you said you lived in our area?" Phil asked.
"Umm, yeah I lied"
We stopped at a door.
"Ok is everyone ready?" Phil said getting ready to knock on the door.
I didn't say anything but Pim replied with
"As ready as I'll ever be" Phil knocked and I patiently waited for my life to crumble under my feet.
