Mission Failed.

"We'll talk tomorrow. Good night." Tom waved at Anna as she joined Joel inside his car. 

"Do not worry too much about it. I'm pretty sure your parents would be able to handle it." Anna stuck her head out the window to say to him. 

"Yes. They always handle everything." Tom said with a small smile before waving at them.

Anna also waved at Lisa who was standing beside Tom. Lisa didn't wave back because her mind was occupied with other things and she wasn't paying attention to what was happening around her.

She could smell trouble! And a whole lot of it. Firstly, she hadn't succeeded in her mission. Which was the first time something like that was happening. Lastly, Thomas had seen her hiding from his parents inside their house! How was she supposed to explain that?

At that moment when she saw him, she opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. Tom looked at her with his head cocked to the side and she couldn't guess what he was thinking.
