He walks himself to his house. When he reached the door , he saw his Mom and Dad on the couch."Andrei , where are you last night? We've been worried sick!""Sorry , I was with a friend last night and the rain suddenly poured heavily.... I forgot my umbrella""You could've texted us! Please , please , please , don't wander off without our permission!""We just heard the news last night , there is a gang that beats innocent people to death. Be careful , Andrei""Of course , Mom. This won't happen again"After the conversation with his parents , Andrei locked himself in his room and slammed his body on the bed.He let out a heavy breath and got up again. He changed his clothes and went back to bed.He is about to close his eyes when his phone ringed . He checked it out and saw Lily's text. He's heart skipped a beat. The message goes like this."Hey , Andrei. I'm sorry if I disturbed you but you left your hoodie here. Are you going to pick it up?"He tapped his phone to reply out of excitement. He can't help himself. All he want to do right now is to talk to her." It's fine and I'm in my room right now. About the hoodie , can you keep it? I just got home. Maybe on Monday , I can pick it up"" Do you mind if I'll wash it for you? Cause my detergent smells like vanilla , in case if you hate that scent"Andrei's face lighten up and replied to Lily immediately."No , I don't mind at all"* I don't mind if my hoodie smells like you ♡*"Ok. See you on Monday , Love you"Andrei tapped his phone screen to reply "I love you too" but he won't sent it. Suddenly, his Mom entered his room and he accidentally pressed the send button."Oh shit! No , no , no! How to erase this?!""Andrei , is something wrong?""Uhhh , nothing's wrong . It's just uhhh...""Hmmm?""Uhh , my classmate accidentally left his uhh book and I have it so... I panicked hehe"He was trying to convince his Mom with his lies when his phone notified a text message."Come on! I know it already , you don't have to say it. You know I'm the shy type hehe(≧▽≦)"He smiled at his phone and replied to the text."Shut up. That was for my Mother. I forgot I was texting you earlier so I accidentally replied""Oh....Okay , continue your work now. Sorry for disturbing you. Please don't be mad"" I'm not mad and I'm not busy now.
