WHO TOLD YOU?

"Not just my parents," Jayden replied. "The whole family will be there."

Apple almost choked when she heard Jayden answer so calmly.

"What?" She widened her eyes in disbelief. She hoped Jayden would laugh and say it was all a joke and then grin mischievously, like he always did.

But, when Apple saw no indication that Jayden was going to say his words were a joke, she started to worry. No, Apple freaked out.

Meeting Jayden's parents alone was enough to make Apple feel almost a heart attack coming, how could she be able to face the entire Tordoff family?

Apple shook her head emphatically, refusing Jayden's request. "No, no, I don't want to be at the party."

"Why not?" Jayden asked, knowing that Apple would turn him down. He had thought of a thousand and one ways to persuade this girl, but before that he had to know for sure, what was really making Apple feel uncomfortable.
