"My baby, I thought you have forgotten about me." Aria complained to her daughter childishly.

The two sat side by side on the white sofa of their living room. Aria is peeling the skin of grapes on the table, putting one on her mouth, then another to Sorcha's.

"How could I, mom?" Sorcha smiled while chewing the fruit casually. It tastes sweet and fresh. "I'm just a bit busy that's all." She said in a cute voice, trying to coax her mom.

"Hmph. Your father didn't even give you a break!" Aria included Anthony in her complaints. 

"Mom, dad only wants the best for me." Sorcha defended her dad.

"Hmph! Hmph!" Aria just snorted twice. She then looked at her daughter and asked with obvious concern, "Lil Sorcha should be tired right? You should eat a lot okay? Here open your mouth." 

Sorcha accepted the grapes once again in her mouth then said, "Mom, I miss the taste of the food you cook."

"Really? Then mommy should cook later for dinner!" Aria smiled happily after hearing her request.

Sorcha entered her room smiling. She was able to survive her mom's long nagging. 

Today is Saturday, and since her uncle said that she didn't have to train this evening, she has time to do something else.

"But what should I do?" She sighed. She's no longer used in the feeling of having nothing to do.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw Luke calling. 

"Sorcha!!~" Luke's loud voice was heard.

"Mm. Why did you call?" She answered.

"Hehe don't you miss my brother?" He said playfully.

"Bye." Sorcha pretended to drop the call so he'd stop with his useless teasing.

"Heyheyhey! Don't end it! Do you want to come at my house? I invited Edmund and Rica. Mr. Ryan is here too!" Luke hurriedly said.

"Oh? What's up?" Sorcha asked.

"Nothing. I was bored and since big brother Ryan is here, we thought that it'd be fun if you guys are here as well."

Sorcha thought for a while. She's always trying to go home as soon as the class ended, so she wasn't able to spend more time with her friends too these days. 

"Okay, I'll go there." She decided.

"Really? Haha good! I'll wait for you!" Luke happily said then he ended the call.

Sorcha walked towards her closet to change her clothes. She picked up a plain white shirt, a light blue knee-length skirt, and then she paired it with white sneakers.

She faced her reflection in the mirror. She tied her hair up in a simple bun and smiled, feeling satisfied with how she looked.

After that, she went outside her room to look for her mom.

"Are you leaving baby?" Aria asked.

"Yes. I'm going to my friend's house for a bit." She said.

"Okay, have fun there." Her mom kissed her on the cheeks then added, "Go home early, I'm cooking dinner."

"Mm. I will, mom." And after a while of further nagging, she then finally walked away.

"Bye sweetie!" She heard her mom's shout before she entered the car. 

She smiled and then waved her little hands to her mom.
