Chapter 7-- The idea
"Hey Mai!" yelled Lily from upstairs. "Guess who stopped by?" Mai turned around. "Oh hey Serenity. Did your brother drop you off?" Serenity nodded. "Yeah, he thought I should meet Lily."
"Mai, Joey was actually looking for you," Lily hinted, knowing that it would spark Mai's interest. It did. "Really?" she tried to sound casual. Wonder what for. "You," Serenity chimed in. She looked at Lily with a knowing smile. They both knew that Joey and Mai liked each other but were too scared to admit it. "So Lily, how was your teacher? Did he teach you anything?" Mai asked. Lily rolled her eyes. "Yes, Mai. Valon's cool and a great teacher. He's also funny." Mai opened the fridge. "Humor isn't everything Lily," she mumbled. "What was that?" Lily asked. "I said, wow, I guess he's better than I thought," Mai lied. Lily walked over to her. "Yeah. Some people can surprise you, missy."
"Missy?" Mai scoffed. "Please. Excuse me, missy, I am older, thank you." Lily stuck her tongue out at Mai. "Well, at least you'll get wrinkles before me," Lily shot back. "Come on Lil, look at me. I look way too good to be getting wrinkles." Lily rolled her eyes. "Whatever Mai." Lily and Serenity went back upstairs.
Once they were out of earshot, Serenity asked Lily if Mai liked Joey. "Of course, isn't it obvious?" Lily had replied. A thought popped into Lily's head. "Hey Seren? Wanna play a game? I call it…Matchmaker." Serenity smiled a devious smile. "I'm way ahead of you girl." So they spent the next hour putting Plan Joey and Mai to work..
Joey came to pick up Serenity. As he walked up to the door, he noticed that Mai's purple Mustang was there. He checked his hair in a nearby window to make sure he looked all right. He knocked on the door. Mai answered the door. "Hey Mai." Mai smiled "Hi Joey. Hey Serenity, your brother is here." Lily and Serenity raced downstairs. "Oh hey Joey," Lily said. "Hi lily. Did you guys have fun?" Serenity nodded enthusiastically. She looked over at Lily, but she was studying Mai's face. "Oh yeah. We became best friends instantly," Lily replied. She could tell Mai was dying to ask why he was looking for her, but held her tongue. Joey looked over at Mai. I wont say anything about today. I was going to invite her out, but I'm too nervous. She probably thinks I'm not her class. Come on, get real. Mai could have any guy, why on earth would she choose me? "Well Serenity, I guess I'll see ya later," Lily said with a wink. Serenity nodded. "Sounds good. Bye then." Joey waved. "Bye Lily, bye Mai." Mai smiled. "See ya Wheeler."
Lily smiled and went upstairs. She opened her laptop to see Valon looking back at her. Lily pretended to kiss the screen. She clicked on the Internet and searched for "Matchmaking Tips". After that she went downstairs.
sorry this chapter was so short. I cut a lot of unnecessary writing out. I promise the chapters will be longer from chapter 10-40. Wow. 40. Am I crazy or what?
