Chapter 71: Chapter 71

Mari Gold

“this is going to be awesome! Imagine us roaming around that big house! Mari you don't know how happy I am” Eliza said happily and we giggled

“I'm glad too. And it has a beautiful aquarium room, I can't wait to look at those Beautiful creatures again” I said

“I hope the fridge is going to be full of all those rich food” she said and winked at me

I sighed “Eliza, sometimes I wonder if you're the same girl who doesn't eat all her food just so she could sneak to my window and give me. What happened to you? Why are you suddenly turning to a glutton?” I asked and shook my head in a pitiable way.

“you know that time, I felt guilty eating a whole plate of food while my best friend doesn't even eat half a plate for a whole day. How can I eat when I knew you were starving? But now, you're not starving, you've got a millionaire lover boy and you still don't want me to eat? You're wicked!”

I laughed and she pouted

“okay I'm sorry. You're free to eat anything you want.” I said and she cracked a smile

“that's my best friend” she said and I giggled

“when should we start packing?” she asked and I climbed down from the bed to take my phone from my reading table

“I don't know... You choose” I replied

“let's start now. We'll get your things set then when school resumes on Monday and they open the dorms, I'll get my own things” she stated

“why the hurry?” I asked and picked up my phone

“Mari are you seriously asking me? Do you think I even want to sleep on this small bed tonight when I know there's a king-sized bed waiting for me?” she asked rhetorically

I rolled my eyes

“whatever” I muttered and sat on the bed. I opened my gallery and handed the phone to her

“what?” she asked as she took the phone

“Awwn, you took pictures? So cute... Look at how beautiful you are” she cooed and smoothed my hair. I grinned and sat closer to her so we could look at the pictures together

“this place is beautiful. Looks so romantic” she said as she admired the place we had our dinner

“I loved it too” I said. She kept swiping and she had something good to say about each photo

A knock came on the door and we both looked up at it

“someone's knocking” I said

“yeah someone's knocking” she said too

“who could it be? Do you think it's Will again?” I asked and she shook her head

“I don't think so” she dropped the phone and went to the door then opened it

“Simona?” she asked

“Simona?” I asked too then stood up

.“hi” Simona said to me as I stood in front of the door

“hi” I answered in a way that showed that I was confused as to why she was standing at my door

“Mari can I talk to you?” she asked and I heard Eliza give a slight chuckle

“alone please” she said and I looked at Eliza who shrugged

“why?” I asked because that doesn't happen at all. Just to be on a safer side and not get strangled to death

“please make Eliza excuse us” she said and Eliza chuckled again

“okay, I'm going to get a glass of water from the kitchen” Eliza said with a smirk and she left

Simona sighed and looked at me

“Mari I'm here to apologize” she started

“oh... What for?”

“because of the way I've been treating you and picking up fights with you and Eliza. I'm sorry” she apologized.

“but why are you apologizing?” I asked

“because those actions were wrong” she answered

“and what made you realize they were wrong tonight?” I asked and crossed my arms

She was quiet

“you know what? I don't really hold anything against you, at least not much. It's Eliza who's at loggerheads with you so apologize to her, if she forgives you then I'll forgive you too” I said and her face stiffened. Of course she doesn't want to do that

“what? You're not going to do it?” I asked and she faked a smile

“it's not a problem” she said and I smiled and nodded

“okay then. Bye” I said and closed my door. I stood still to hear if she was still there or not.

I didn't hear any sound so it was obvious she was still standing there. Later I heard footsteps approaching then I heard a scoff which sounded like that of Simona then I'm sure she left.
