Bab 66: About the Party

[Mandy's Diary Today]

      My house phone rang several times in the early hours of the morning as I was about to prepare breakfast in the kitchen. With light steps, while keeping my hair in a high ponytail, I walked over to the telephone near the kitchen which was connected to all the wired telephones in the house. On the third ring, I picked it up and heard Peyton's tiny voice on the other end.

      "Thank goodness you're up so early," she said as soon as I greeted her with a 'hello'. "Justin is used to getting up early. If you don't wake up first, I'm sure he will cook for you first."

      My eyes rolled when I heard those words. If Justin knew I was rolling my eyes at his mother, he'd be mad at me. I leaned my hand against the jamb, then answered,

      "Hmm… I was awake a long time ago."

      "You still remember your promise, don't you?"
