"Hey love!" Shelly said caressing Ethan at the basketball court.
Ethan seized her hand and glared at her, "if you don't know how to use your hands properly, I will slice them and feed them to you."
Shelly stared at him for a while and chuckled, "is it because of her?" she asked and walked closer to him.
"I can give you times two of whatever she gives to you, just name it," she said and tried to put her hands round Ethan's neck, but Ethan pushed her away.
Just then Nathan entered the court and stared at them for a while.
"What's happening here?" Nathan asked.
Shelly stared at Nathan for a while, she chuckled and pecked Ethan on his cheeks.
"Talk to you later," she said and left.
Nathan stared at Ethan in bewilderment and placed the back of his palm on Ethan's forehead.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine," Ethan replied.
"No you're not, cause if you are, you wouldn't be frolicking with Zen's arch enemy," Nathan said.
"I've nothing to do with Shelly, okay?" Ethan said defensively.
Nathan chuckled, "Ethan, I'm sure my eyes are not blind."
Ethan sighed, "Shelly did that on purpose, I swear, nothing is going on between us."
Nathan stared at him, "I hope so," he said and left.
"Gosh! fuck that Shelly" Ethan muttered.
Ethan entered the class and saw Zen on his desk waiting for him, he stopped and stared at Zen, observing her mood.
"I hope Nathan didn't say anything to her," he thought.
"Hey Zen!" Ethan greeted, caressing my cheeks.
"Where have you been, I've been looking everywhere for you," I said.
"I was at the basketball court with Nathan," Ethan replied.
"Okay, we are hosting a sleepover at my treehouse tonight, so I and my friends are inviting you," I informed.
"You have a treehouse?" Ethan asked staring at me.
"Yes, not just mine but ours, it's a friendship treehouse plus a friendship car attached to it," I said, smiling.
"That's cool," Ethan replied.
"Yeah, so after school we go from school to the treehouse," I said.
"Yes my lady," he said and gave me a playful salute, I laughed and nudged him.
"Crazy fella," I said and he laughed.
The dismissal bell rang immediately and Ethan stared at me smiling, Lisa and Diva came into the class and walked up to us, holding hands with each other.
"There they are!" Lisa and Diva said, hugging me.
"We've been looking for you Zen," Lisa said.
"You girls didn't search well," I said and we laughed.
"Where is Nathan?" Ethan asked, turning to Lisa.
"Here I am," Nathan said, entering the class.
"What's the plan?" Nathan asked.
"Straight to the treehouse!!" I and my friends chimed in unison.
"With our uniforms?" Ethan asked.
"Yeah, it's a sleepover, which means we will be coming to school from there tomorrow." I said, smiling.
Ethan and Nathan looked at us, and exchanged glances with each other.
I brought out my phone and dialed my mum's number, I told her that I will be spending the night at my treehouse and she approved, I hung up and stared at my friends.
"You guys should better do what I just did," I ordered.
Diva and Nathan dialed their parents number and told them that they're spending the night with me and they approved.
I stared at Ethan and Lisa and they laughed.
"You know my parents are on a business trip, so they aren't around." Lisa said and I stared at Ethan.
"I'm the only one at home, my brother won't be coming back tonight." Ethan said.
"Okay then, we are good to go!" I said.
We left the class and entered the friendship car and zoomed off.
"They also have a friendship car," Shelly said from a distance where she was peeking at us.
"Perhaps we should get our own car," Chloe suggested.
"I will tell my dad to give me one of his cars," Shelly said.
"That will be great," Zoe said.
Shelly smiled and turned to them, "I'm going home," she said and left as Zoe and Chloe followed behind.

We drove straight to a shopping mall for a grocery shopping, after which we shopped for few clothes, after all the necessary shopping, we entered the car and zoomed off to the treehouse.
"I've a question," Ethan said.
"What question?" Nathan asked.
"The whole money we just spent, came out from whose account?" Ethan asked.
"From our friendship account," I replied.
"We contribute money every month, which we use to buy general stuffs for ourselves," Lisa enlightened.
"Oh! I see" Ethan said.
We pulled up at the treehouse, we got down and collected our stuffs from the car and went upstairs.
"Damn! this treehouse is cool and spacious," Nathan said, looking around.
"Can't believe you girls have been keeping all this to yourselves," Ethan said, sitting down on the couch.
I giggled, "the treehouse only has one room and this sitting room, so to me it's not that much." I said, stocking up the mini refrigerator with the groceries we bought.
"Too much for just a treehouse," Ethan said and we burst into laughter.
I finished arranging the refrigerator, I turned on the mini standing fan and went inside the room to arrange the bed, after which I came out and sat on the play mat that was spread on the floor.
"Alright everyone, let's go and wash our school uniforms." I said.
"So we don't have a washing machine here?" Nathan asked.
"Buy one for us," Lisa said and Nathan threw the pillow at Lisa.
"Pillow fight!!" I yelled and rushed inside the room and brought out pillows.
We engaged in a pillow fight and started hitting each other with the pillows untill their is only one person standing and of course, nobody wants to be the looser, so the game became intense.
we continued with the pillow fight until we all got exhausted and gave up, we rested for a while before packing our uniforms downstairs to wash.
