Tapping away, the phone was watched in eager anticipation. A buzz was supposed to be hinting her to do something. Finally, the alarm buzzed and it was time. Aletheia practically jumped up and she left through the door. A smile was large on her face.

"What are you up to today?" A curious Tyler asked as he waited to be let into the flat he had left half an hour before. He was still in sweats but Aletheia was too busy to notice or care.

"I am about to pick my sister up from the airport. Then I am planning my trip to The Americas. I have a case down in Tennessee. I need to find a place for the two of us to stay. You know, boring stuff." He laughed before asking for her phone. She did it with a lot of hesitation and then he put in his number. At the point of his name, he put 'Tyler, lives in Tennessee' and Aletheia raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"The more you know." She joked and then she walked on with a thanks. At that point, she got her phone out and gave a text to him just in case.

Hello Lover Boy.

I have a girlfriend.

I know. You talked about her all yesterday in the video. I am not hitting on you. If anything I do believe you and Craig belong together. ;)

He is so fit.

Damb, you got the hots for Mini. Careful, don't let his name mislead you. He is not mini. ;)

Oh, I know.

The phone was dropped in the door of the car and soon the engine began. The journey was filled with her music and singing along. The excitement had grown to be too much. There was very little traffic and as she turned up she stood at the door of her car, waiting to see her ickle sister.

A flourish of blonde was seen as a sixteen-year-old ran and hugged Aletheia. Laughing and almost crying from joy the pair held on close. Their hair blended and clothes then merged. After almost five short minutes the pair left the embrace and looked at each other as closely as they could. The two loaded the car with all available bags and then they climbed into the vehicle.

"Now, Lils. I love you and I want you to be calm when I tell you what I am about to tell you. Who is your favourite YouTube or gamer?" There was no hesitation. No mind or thought. It was Smii7y. "Well, we aren't going to any meet and then greets. But, you see, he actually has some of his friends over as you know. As a sort of house welcome and greet. Well, the pair of us live next door to each other." Silence was all that followed and then a massive squeal of happiness. As she began to fangirl the car stopped at a light.

"You tell no one. And, I cannot guarantee in any shape or form that you will meet him or his friends. Now, be calm collected and I will be working for a lot of days so you can come with me some days and stay home for the rest." The air was still warm with a buzz and it stopped. Lilly looked beside her and then smirked.

"Have you met them?" Aletheia nodded and smirked a little. She could understand why her little sister had such an obsession with Jaren. He was funny, a little on the dark side and he was easy to talk to.

As they arrived the boot was opened and the two carried the bags and suitcases into the building. The lift was used as ten floors with 12 weeks of holiday clothing was too much for either. Especially, a jetlagged 16-year-old who was normally asleep by then. As they stood there Aletheia began to give a laugh.

"We are wearing matching outfits." Short and mustard rompers were worn and the two gave an unhappy smile. They huddled in the lift with the clothes and were perfectly still till the door was opened. They went to move but a hoard of men stood there.

"M'lady." One joked and pretended to tip his hat. Then arms stretched out and the two felt their arms become light. Lilly was silent as she quietly screamed in her head. Thia was quiet whilst shaking her head and then marching on with keys in one hand.

She got to the door first and let them all in. A hand pointed to the study where a sofa and soon to be pull out sofa was found. The bags were placed in the room and all of a sudden Aletheia was lifted. She tried to get free but they persisted. Lilly was left as she just watched.

"Jaren. Get the hell off of me." He began to tickle her and she squealed like a banshee in the wash. Never had such a noise been heard and so she was placed down.

"Thank you. I am ticklish. Now, Lilly and I are busy doing nothing productive all day so what is your excuse for this?" A teasing and questioning look was sent to them all but as Lilly laughed so did Aletheia.

"Thia. I haven't heard you joke so happily since Mr Greene got involved. Not just that but I am pretty sure all of these boys are older than you. Who did it then?" The insinuation of Aletheia sleeping with one of them was picked up and the room hit a silence of enjoyment. Waiting to see how she would react.

"It was me." John walked forward and then wrapped arms around her. The pair moved as if to kiss but at the last second Aletheia had to recoil. Muttering her inability to do it and to follow through.

"I did make jokes before, but, Will didn't like me to so I didn't." As that was said the boys were all talking. Eventually, one of them asked the girls if they fancied a day out and Lilly had agreed all too quickly. The pair ended up in their cars. Aletheia was in the front of Jaren's car with Lilly in the back.

"Tyler asked if we could pull in and buy good food soon." Jaren agreed but then felt for his phone. It was in his front left pocket and it stumped him.

"How do you know?" He asked as they met a red light for the hundredth time in a mere few seconds. Life was against them.

"He text me. In his defence, I text him first to tell him I fancied chilli squid. You have the best taste." Jaren was making shapes with his mouth before finally forming words in a sentence.

"How come you have his number?" Was all he said. Aletheia spotted Lilly's face but she was lucky Jaren was occupied on the road as a smirk spread on the 16-year-old's face.

"Oh, in a few weeks Lils and I are off to see a good friend of ours. She got in trouble and I am representing her for free. Tyler said he could let us stay. It is in Tennessee is all and I couldn't be arsed to find accommodation. I appreciate that it is lazy but feck it." Jaren agreed but felt his phone vibrate. As he went for it Aletheia spewed.

"In this very province, a person can be fined $500, lose up to 4 demerit points and then have their license suspended. If you are spotted and challenged." He sighed and smirked as she told him this. He gestured for her to do it and so she did.

"If I lose a nail I might just castrate you." In that one line was a multitude of laughs as both Jaren and Lilly laughed until the phone was pulled and no nails lost. It was odd for Jaren to see her so relaxed but she was only human.

"Vape asked if your penis could fit inside a hole so tight." The flat and bland tone filled the car with laughs but Jaren was mortified by what had been read.

"Well, can you? If not I am answering for you." He went to answer but made himself flustered and so she read what she was then typing.

"My penis is small enough to fit into your earphone jack. That hole is big enough." And it was sent, regret filled his face and desires to die filled him. She laughed and put the phone into the cup holder.

"Did mum say anything before you left? I did ask her to come over when I asked for you but she insisted that it was fine." Their mother was something special. She had the pair in the centre of her world but she was always saying unexplainable crap.

"No. She won't stop telling me how proud she is of her little 'Sausage' and how she is missing you. I told her you two could call and visit but she was always giving the book of excuses to me. Dad is exactly the same as before. Not awake for long enough to notice if I am there or not." The nickname was one Aletheia had hoped to never hear again. She visibly cringed and recoiled.

"Shut up, Marshmallow." The nickname was in no way as bad as Aletheia's but she had no other comeback. Jaren had begun to give off signs of laughter until he finally did and in a moment of anger, she shoved his arm a little. His left hand then began to tickle her and she laughed until they arrived in the main portion of all the shops.

"More shoes? You need to get a hobby or a life. Either way, ya need ta stap." She had dealt a blow as he clutched his heart and in seconds looked like he was having a severe heart attack there. In a multistorey car park as his friends all approached.

"What did you do to my poor Smii7y? You whore." John had hit hard and Aletheia then stomped on Jaren's foot. He then stopped instantly and began to coo over his shoes. It was mostly lost as the group moved on. Into the streets. The city was warm and shades were worn by all aside from Aletheia as she had given her only handy pair to Lilly.

"Where should we eat?" The question was hung for a second before an unexpected answer came.

"I don't care. Just let me have my bloody chilli squid." Evan could understand that and so set off in the direction of a food place in his eyesight. The place looked fancy but also perfect for some chilli squid.

Jaren sat beside Aletheia in the circle but Lilly was pulled to sit with Tyler and Scotty. The table was circular and John sat on the left of Thia. She smiled with him and then in a random moment he flicked her nose. She looked all baby-like and pouted.

"Johnny, le' me smash." That was clearly not expected and so he looked with wide eyes onto her. The smile she gave was a childish one. Like she was proud of what she had done. He pretended to be disappointed but her face made him admit to being silently and then outwardly pleased.

"Tyler and Scotty. She is only 16. She is only legal in Canada for people without any form of authority or large influence. You two are screwed in a court of law." They looked at her and went opened mouthed. She was so clearly teasing them as Lilly sat and spoke willingly to them.

"We were trying to find out about you. Sick woman." Scotty joked in return with a fleck of honesty. It was forgotten as a large hand grabbed her thigh. She turned to him and smiled awkwardly. She was not in a close enough relationship with them to have them do that. Until she saw what he was eyeing. She smiled and ordered her chilli on squid and waited.

"I want a fuck ton of this." Anthony then let his eyes fall to her and then he asked a very philosophical question. "How much is a fuck ton?" The question had no thought into the answer as Aletheia gave an answer.
