Summer 3

Love story
(Sunday)

Vanessa woke up at 6:00 a.m. and sat heavily at Emma's bed making Emma wake up.

"Hey", Emma said as she threw a pillow at Vanessa's face. "What did you that for", Emma asked.

"To wake you up! Emma, Nicole's usual summer party is on next week's Saturday and you haven't asked your parents yet", Vanessa said looking worried.

Emma sat up and faced Vanessa seriously.

"I don't have the guts to ask my mum and dad 'cause I know they will not let me go", Emma said as she went to her bedroom's balcony

"Come on, do you want to come or not", Vanessa asked as she followed Emma to the balcony.

"Yes, I want to. Nicole's my second best friend. I don't want to disappoint her. But, I'm not sure that I can force mom about it, there's no problem about forcing dad", Emma said half-laughing when she talks about her father.

Meanwhile, Daniel arrived at the doorstep in his grandma and Aunt Marie's house that was next to Emma's house. He rang the doorbell but there was no answer. He twisted the door knob and it was unlock. He opened the door and went inside. He put his baggage at the side of the couch when he reached the living room.

"Hello? Is anybody home? Grandma? Aunt Marie", Daniel asked as he toured around the house. He kept saying it until he reached upstairs but still no answer. He went to his room with his baggage. He didn't care unpacking his things and headed to his bedroom's balcony to look at the view but when he went outside, he saw Emma and Vanessa talking seriously. He accidentally stepped on a sleeping cat and in his fright, because the cat meowed angrily and ran, he hit the pot that actually fell and broke into small pieces.

Emma and Vanessa looked at where Daniel was standing annoyingly, but when they saw Daniel, it changed their mood.

"You're here! Why didn't you tell us", Emma and Vanessa asked in unison.

"I thought Rico told you", Daniel said as he turned red to see Emma looking at him and smiling.

"He still crushes on you", Vanessa whispered into Emma's ears.

"They didn't tell us", Emma said as she turned to face Vanessa who was grinning. Daniel excuses himself and ducked down to pick the broken pieces of pot.

"Then why didn't you told us then", Emma asked.

"Only Rico answers my e-mails so I asked Rico to tell you and the others that I'm coming back", Daniel said behind the wall. Emma felt guilty.

After that, he was so excited to see Emma again so he quickly stood up.

"Would you mind if I'll go and throw this", Daniel said.

"Yeah, okay. We were just going to get inside when you arrived", Emma said shyly. Daniel turned to the glass door which is actually closed, step forward and not noticing that it was closed, he accidentally hit it.

"Are you alright", Emma asked looking concern. Daniel faced them while rubbing his forehead.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Okay. We will just go in", Vanessa said.

Daniel went inside after Emma and Vanessa were out of sight. He dumped his body at his bed while Vanessa grabbed Emma into her their room.

"Emma, he definitely crushes you!"

"Don't be silly. He asked me before how to tell someone if you like him/her cause he liked someone and don't know what to say to her.", Emma said sadly. She still denies that she like Daniel even to herself.

"Emma, there's something that I want to tell you. Promise me you won't get mad", Vanessa said nervously.

"What is it", Emma asked.

"Daniel meant you", Vanessa admitted.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, when he told you he likes someone when you are going to tell him your true feelings; that someone is you."

"What, I didn't get that", Emma said confused.

"Oh, Emma. You still don't understand. He likes you. He confesses it to all of us, except you", Vanessa said.

"But why didn't you tell me", Emma asked angrily.

"We promised not to tell someone particularly you", Vanessa said.

"But I'm your best friend! You should have realized that", Emma shouted. Vanessa was going to talk when Mrs. Summer, Emma's mom shouted.

"Breakfast is ready!"

"We're coming", Emma shouted as a reply.

"I'm so sorry. I was so stupid, I didn't realized that", Vanessa said sadly as she approaches Emma.

"It's okay. I was carried away with my emotions. Just don't keep secrets about me anymore", Emma said after exhaling a very big long air.

"Promise", Vanessa said. They hugged each other and let go when Mrs. Summer shouted again. The two burst out laughing and went downstairs.

"Keeps your fingers crossed", Emma whispered at Vanessa as they sat beside each other opposite to Mr. and Mrs. Summer. When they started eating, Mrs. Summer noticed the two of them whispering something and kept glancing at her.

"Is there something you want to say to me", Mrs. Summer asked.

"Mum, dad, Nicole's usual summer party is on next week's Saturday and it is held at the Springfield and you know they own that place and - and she wants us to stay there for the whole summer vacation. And the opportunity will be wasted if I didn't come", Emma said quickly.

"So you're asking us our permission", Mrs. Summer asked.

"Uh-huh", Emma and Vanessa said at the same time.

"You can. Just take care", Mrs. Summer said.

"I can? Yey! Thanks mum! Thanks dad", she said as she stood up and kissed her parents in the cheeks.

"Well, you have to start packing your things now", Mrs. Summer said as she went to the sink to put her empty dish.

Emma and Vanessa brought out each a traveling bag and filled it with comfortable dresses enough for one month.

"I'm so excited about tomorrow", Vanessa said excitedly.

"Me too", Emma said but the smile planted on her face when her mom and dad just approved, faded away.

"What's wrong", Vanessa asked after noticing Emma.

"I couldn't believe that mom and dad actually said yes. This was the first time I did this that came out perfect", Emma said it happily.

"I hope Rico would come", Vanessa said dreamily as she sat down to her bed.
"You still think Rico is handsome. I don't see it", Emma said half-laughing.

"Yes. Look, he's cute; he's good but not that good, and friendly. He's hot too", Vanessa said.

"Yuck! You're so stuuuuupid", Emma said. While Emma was arranging her dresses, Vanessa threw a pillow at her back.

"Ow! What did you do that for?!"

"Nothing", Vanessa lied and grinned. Emma threw back the pillow and hit Vanessa in the head.

"OW!"

The two continued throwing pillows at each other. After three minutes or almost four minutes, they stopped throwing pillows at each other and lay tired on each bed.
