"So, let me get this straight, first he breaks into your house, and then has dinner with your mom?", Will exclaimed, whilst shoving some chicken into his mouth.
"Yeah! And he didn't even say sorry! He acted like it never even happened."
"Wow.."

It was Sunday, and Will and I were at Paper Lantern for lunch. It was a shame since Leila wasn't working- she was over at Penny's designing their costumes.

My prayers go out to her for having to put up with that witch.

"Now, my mom loves him..", I sighed.
"How can she love Lash? It's Lash," Will laughed.
"Exactly. He's a very good actor, I have to give his props for that," I shrugged.
"Would you guys like any dessert?"

Both Will and I glanced up to spot Warren, looking happy as ever, standing by our table.

I looked at Will before back at the long haired teenager.

"Um, no, we're quite full," I politely smiled.
"You don't have to treat me like a stranger, Kim," Warren smirked, as he walked away from our table.

In the time span that Warren and I met, we've exchanged numbers and even hung out a few times, thanks to Leila. So, it's safe to say that we're past the 'acquaintances' stage.

"Anyways," Will started, once he finished his plate, "am I the only one that finds it strange how we got our partners sophomore year?"
"What do you mean?"
"Last year, Mr. Boy told us we would get our heroes, or sidekicks, in our senior year, and our colors too."
"I guess they wanted to switch things up this year."
"I know, but this way is a lot more difficult and messy if you think about it."
"Whatever floats their boat," I shrugged, "Are you done with your food? I still need to head to the fabric store to get some material."
"Yeah..", Will sighed, obviously not wanting to help me with shopping.

...

"What about this?"
"Um.. too shiny."
"This would look good."
"Are you blind? That's hideous!"
"This?"
"Ew, my colors are purple, white, and black, not barf, barf, and barf."
"You're never pleased! Why did you even want me to come along?", Will cried, throwing all of the current fabrics he had in his hands back onto the shelves.
"Because, Leila and Magenta are busy, and you're more tolerable than Zach and Ethan," I replied bluntly.
"Still..."

After about an hour of searching through stacks and stacks of material, I finally found some that would look good on my design. I made my way up to the cashier, Will hot on my tail, and plopped the fabrics onto the counter.

"Did you find everything you need?", a familiar voice said.

I looked up just in time to see the devil himself turn around, a bored expression imprinted on his face.

"Lash?", I exclaimed, "You're a cashier at a fabric store?"

I couldn't help but snort after my sentence, and obviously, Will couldn't either, since I heard him laugh loudly behind me. Lash on the other hand was not amused.

"You tell anyone and I swear-"
"You'll what? Kill me?"

"Lash! Is there a problem?", a feminine voice said from a room behind the counter.
"Yeah, Lash. Is there a problem?", I mocked.
"No, there isn't," the brown haired boy spoke through gritted teeth.

He then began to ring up the items, while Will and I just snickered.

Lash- wearing a smock? Correction, a pink smock? Oh god, this was gold. Plus, what was even funnier was he had a glittery headband holding back his hair. It wasn't even humid!

"You're total is $19.42."

I reached into my pocket, but to my luck, I had left my wallet at home. I turned back to look at Will with a puppy dog expression written all over my face.

"Will- I left my wallet back at my place."

He didn't even reply, he just let out a heavy sigh and took out his own.

"Thank you! I'll pay you back as soon as possible," I smiled.
"Yeah, yeah. Here you go ma'am- I mean mister. Sorry, I couldn't tell the difference with that pink apron and glittery head band you're wearing," Will smiled devilishly, as he handed Lash the money.
"It's called a smock, dumb ass."

Will and I let out another burst of chuckles while we collected our belongings and went to exit the store. I turned my head back as I walked out, giving Lash an evil wink.

He didn't even know I had taken a picture of him with my cellphone.

*apologizes a thousand times for this being such a short and boring chapter*

Well, we got our water back on. Hurray, right? Wrong. The water still smells like chemicals, and it even got my dad sick! The news said that pregnant women and children that are the ages of three and under shouldn't drink the water, so they're basically saying it isn't safe yet. My mother has forbid my sister and I from bathing in it, (since my dad immediately got sick after he had taken a shower) so I've been having to go up to my grandmothers just to do laundry and bathe! Apart from all of this chaos, I go back to school on Tuesday. Yay.
