Episode 2

Jessica was having a regular morning at her home. She was in the dining hall having her regular breakfast. Regular coffee, regular toast, and regular pull of her hair.

Jessica inhaled deeply and yelled" TRISTAN MOORE, does it hurt your insides if you don't pull on my hair for once, you are going to end up bald anyway with all the ghastly hair dyes you change ever so frequently, that DOES NOT MEAN I HAVE TO END UP BALD. DO.YOU.GET.THAT?".

Tristan nonchalantly dusted his hands, with an expression that makes anyone want to punch a hole in his face, and sat in his seat and said "Oh! Come on Jess I know you are jealous of how fa~bulous my hair looks. I mean what sort of fashion designer are you if you can't even keep up with the trend girl~. As for me getting bald, hmm, i wonder if you are indirectly implying dad is bald considering baldness is inherited."

Jessica was about to retort when there was a bang on the table. Jessica and Tristan turned to look at their mom who was smiling and gulped at the imaginary fumes coming out of her head. Helena, their mom, gritted her teeth and said "You both better let me finish my breakfast in peace."

"Yes, mom" they chorused and sat up straight.

If Jessica had something like a book full of noteworthy points in life , the top most point written in red would be "Never, ever, like ever, piss off the smiling devil."

Helena exhaled deeply and turned towards her husband and said "Honey do you remember Kevin? I saw his wife yesterday. Apparently they moved in yesterday. We are neighbors again".

Rupert, who was engrossed in his phone looked up at the sentence directed toward him and tried to recall." Kevin? Ah! Kevin Hart? Oh! It's been ages since we last met, hasn't it? Neighbors, huh? Such a small world this is. Oh, then why don't we invite the family for dinner or something? The kids can meet them too."

Helena thought for a while and nodded her head. She looked at her kids and said " You both free up your schedule for tomorrow night, and you better be on your best behaviour." she stressed.

Tristan, was opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water and finally couldn't resist speaking " B...bb...but mom, I'm going back to base tonight. I may not be able to join."

If looks could kill , Tristan might have turned into a fossil by then.

Tristan with a ghastly expression spoke again "Ha..ha.h.ha.. Just joking I'll be home by dinner time." and wiped off the non-existent sweat on his forehead using the back of his hand.

Helena faced Rupert and said "How about this? You contact Kevin, I'll contact Cindy." Rupert agreed to that.

Rupert and Helena left the dining hall after getting done with their breakfast. Tristan slid down his chair and leaned back. One could see the soul leaving his body. Jessica sat in a comfortable position and continued eating her breakfast

Tristan stared at his sister and asked " Hey, who are this new/old neighbors anyway?"

Jessica wiped her hands and mouth using a napkin, stood up and glanced at her useless brother and said "No idea about them but I do know that you are late, and I'm not dropping you off."

Tristan turned on his phone and looked at the time and cursed out loud and stood up with a jump. He stuffed whatever he could into his mouth before running towards the door.Jessica looked at her brother and sighed for the nth time trying to make sense of whose intelligence her brother has inherited.
