Some Girl Bonding

We all went home after that. Crystal kindly took the front seat beside Kaiden saying I might still be in shock with what just happened. Hora and I sat in the back. Callan and Verrill had their own cars and they followed us to the Ma Residence since they had something to do with Kaiden. I didn't bother asking what it was since it's probably boy's stuffs.

While in the car, everyone remained silent—even Crystal who was usually the one who never ran out of stories to tell. She tried to play some music to kill the heavy atmosphere, but it didn't help much.

"Ahm… Hora, Crystal, and Kaiden," I tried to break the silence, "can I ask you all for a favor?"

Hora and Crystal turned to me, while Kaiden glanced over the driver's rearview mirror.

"Of course! What is it?" Crystal energetically agreed.

"Well, ahm… Can you please not tell my mom and dad about what happened?" I clasped my hands together, pleading.

Their faces showed clear signs of hesitation.
