  "Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy;They are charming gardeners who make our soul blossom."-Marcel Proust~*****~I stepped into my apartment and was greeted with silence except the gentle humming from the air conditioner.'Mirel isn't home yet?' I muttered with a frown.Getting into my room, I tossed my bag and sneakers aside and shrugged off my jacket then stepped into the bathroom for a quick shower.Dressed in yellow satin night wear, I strolled next door to Tee's room. I walked in unannounced and Tee let out a girly shrill.'AHHHHH!' He quickly dragged his pyjama bottoms up, quickly putting on the his shirt as well.

It was still a little dark outside and I sprang to my feet, sprinting towards my window.I caught a glimpse of Mirel's silhouette zoom past in a blur into the house.I opened my door slightly and there Mirel was, pacing the floor frantically.Her clothes looked ruffled, her usually silky straight Bob looked like she just finished a scuffle.

My face scrunched in displeasure at the smiling face in front of me.'Hey! That's not a nice way to welcome your dear sister.' she replied, pursing her lips.With my hands on my hips, I watched her intently and she stared back.
