"No. I warned you not to watch that movie late into the night but you refused and had to sleep 2am in the morning. Now see the consequences"
"But it was interesting"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. And also,I don't want to sit in the class like a nobody when my classmates are busy talking about the movie. It's the season finale of walking dead and I need to have a say in the discussion...she paused...oh my gosh,school!! No I can't be late"
"You see?"
Lisa started undressing immediately. Annabel laughed at how she removed everything right in front of her
"Have some shame young lady" Annabel turned her face and Lisa rolled her eyes
"I must not go late to school today" She ran into the bathroom
"Hey chill, what's the hurry? You were not this snappy few minutes ago"
"Yeah till I remembered I had something important to do" Lisa replied coming out of the bathroom and wiping her body with a towel
"What is it?" Annabel had the feeling trouble was cooking

"Come on tell me"
She sighed... Actually there is this guy in school that has been getting on my nerves lately"

"What's wrong with that?"
"Everything Lisa. You can't go about beating any guy that crosses your path"
