"I can't believe summer break is over," Mila said to her best friend, Willow over the phone.
"Tell me about it, at least we've got dance tryouts to look out for." Willow reminded.
"Yeah, when does Khalil gets back, by the way, I've missed him," Mila asked picking up some stationery from the book shop at the mall.
"He said he and his boyfriend Jake would be here in two days, I like how his parents supported him when he came out as gay," Willow told.
"Yeah, they're good parents... so he's missing the first day of school?" Mila voiced out.
"Mila honey, school starts in two days time today is Saturday." Willow chuckled at her friend's forgetfulness.
"Ah, that's why forever 21 is full, I better go get some outfits for school before the best ones run out of stock," she said walking to the shop.
"Actually, I'm in there." Willow spotted her friend as she waved to her. Mila dropped the call and then walked towards her friend muttering a few 'sorrys' as she made her way through.
Willow hugged her friend tight even though they hang out together during the summer break. They had fun travelling together and visiting beautiful sceneries.
Mila's parents were both workaholics so it was most at times her and her caretaker, Naya. Mila's elder twin brothers were in the university, far from California. She only got to see them during Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
Willow's mom was also a workaholic like Mila's parents. Her dad had eloped with their maid to start a family, not that she blamed him but her mom didn't have much time for him. Willow's younger sister, Aaliyah, was starting her freshman year in high school.
"I picked a couple of dresses already," Willow admitted.
"Hey, Aaliyah." Mila side hugged her.
"It's good to see you Mila, but I gotta go. I'm meeting Kiera at the food court, bye sis." she waved both of them as she walked out.
"So where were we?" Mila asked.
