(Extra) Anniversary

Honestly, today was a good day, I'm making some really cool new friends. Their names are Vivian and Rya!

They are like the coolest, of course, they're not cooler than Akari but everyone can't be like Akari.

I'm walking down the path back home from school. It's really nice out today, it's not really got I mean, it's just the first week of 7th grade.

I hop up the steps to the front door and walk through.

I can hear voices in the living room and walk over to see what's going on.

"...o you need to watch her tonight? I would really appreciate it," mom is talking to Akari, huh.

"Yup," Akari just nods his head.

"Oh thanks, sweetheart, we'll be gone at six tonight."

I turn around to look at the kitchen clock, 3:30.

"Oh, ren!"

I turn back to where mom was and she is suddenly right in front of me.

"Hey mom"

She kisses me on the forehead and goes into the kitchen to make my after-school snack.

I put my homework on the table. It doesn't take that long because I take after my brother.

"So I'll be gone tonight but your brother's watching you."

After mom leaves, I immediately shoot up to Akari's room and knock on the door. Without waiting for an answer I barge in to see him on his bed reading a book.

He looks at me and then back to his book.

"You're watching me tonight?"

He nods his head.

"Oh! Oh, this is great, can I invite my new friends to come over and watch a movie?" I run over to the bedside and jump slightly in place.

He nods his head again.

"Thanks!"

I run to my room and grab the flip phone mom got me that summer for my good grades.

I called my friends and told them about my mom going out and that they're invited over for a movie.

I grab all of the necessary items, blankets, pillows, snacks, and no stuffed animals because they're not cool.

It's almost fall so we could watch a horror movie. Horror movies are cool, right? I like them but I dunno.

I hear a knock at the door.

"Coming!"

I run to the door and on the steps are Vivian, Rya, and someone else.

"Hey Ren, I had to bring my little sister, I hope you don't mind. I promise she's the best."

I look over to Rya's little sister, she smiles and waves at me. "Hi, I'm Kanna."

"Oh, you're the cutest, don't worry Rya, my brother will be watching us so I don't mind if you bring your sister."

I get everything ready and go upstairs to get Akari. I open his door and walk into Akari watching TV and doing his homework.

"My friends are here and we're watching a movie, you wanna join us?"

"Sure." He puts down his homework and turns off the tv.

Let's go!

I go back downstairs and get the drinks and hop on the couch with everyone.

Akari walks in after me and sits on an armchair.

Tonight is gonna be so fun!
