Chapter 5 -:5:Lanterns of Memory (part 2)
The holidays had finally begun, and I couldn't have been happier. No school, no assignment ,just relaxation. More than anything, I was excited to visit my nani's house in her village. A break from everything, from the city, from Rei, from all the things that had been stressed me out lately.
When i was packing my bags, I dialed Suhina's number. The call rang and she picked up.
"Hey, I'm leaving tomorrow! Are you coming with me?" I asked eagerly, hoping she'd say yes.
She let out a sigh. "No, I have a lot to do."
I pouted even though she couldn't see me. "Fine, but you'll at least buy the books I wanted, right?"
she replied, "I can't promise... Tenzin or Rian is getting my books, so let's see." I could hear some shuffling in the background she was probably busy with something.
A smile spread across my lips. "Oh? And you still say there's nothing going on between you and Tenzin, huh?" My voice come with playful teasing.
"Ugh, stop it! There's nothing like that!" she was clearly flustered I can sense
I smiled. "Yeah, yeah. At least be honest with me." I was enjoying her reaction.
