☆ Yara's POV

I step out of my room and the aroma of something hits my nose.

They're not gone yet?

I trace the smell to the kitchen and it's coming from a mason jar glass containing some kind of juice. I look around.

"Mal?!" I call out. "Is this part of your protein thingy?".

There's no response. I turn and pick up the jar. Reaching out into the top shelf, I pull out a straw and take a sip. I squeeze my face and take the straw out.

"This is awful," I say, setting it back down on the kitchen counter.

I toss the straw away and open the fridge to get a drink to rid my mouth of the awful taste of whatever the jar contained. I'm closing the fridge when I hear a thud.

I turn around.

"Hello?" I call out and move toward the direction of the noise.

I stop behind Alexis' door and roll my eyes.

Of course, it's them.

I shake my head and turn away back towards the kitchen.

"Alexis?" I call out in surprise.

She looks away from the jar she's about to cover.

"Hey," she smiles. "What are you still doing here?".

"I took a nap. Aren't you supposed to be in your room?" I ask.

She furrows her brow.

"No. I came back to make some juice for Malia. She's being picky today".

"Oh," I say, eyeing the glass.

My vision slightly blurs and I blink.

"You okay?" she asks.

I nod.

"I heard sounds coming from your room so I thought it was you and Noah".

She chuckles. Then she frowns.

"My room?" she asks.

I nod.

Wait. Someone else is in the house.

We both turn when we hear voices coming from that direction.

Oh my goodness!

"Jamaal?!" Alexis exclaims.

He stops in his track and Alvira slides behind him to hide her face. I laugh.

"Hey Lex" he lets out nervously. "I didn't hear you come in".

"May I know what you two were doing in my room?".

They exchange looks.

"You know what..." Alexis waves her hands, dismissing her question. "Out. Now".

"But we...".

"Move" she scolds.

They scurry out. Alexis sighs and turns to me.

"Remind me to change the sheets when we get back okay?".

I laugh.

"I will".

"What's this again?" Malia asks eyeing the juice.
