She watched him scrunch his nose, obviously in disapproval of the pair's snack. He gave only a nod of a greeting as he handed Lizzy a plastic-wrapped bundle and made a bee-line for the closest rack of cookies and said something inaudible, cookie in his mouth [color=FF7F50]"I'm assuming that means they're good?"[/color] Lizzy chuckles before looking at the object in her hands to quickly identify it as banana bread. [color=FF7F50]"Did your mother make this? Tell her I said she is amazing and I love her!" [/color] the orange-haired teenager proclaims, she'd always had a love for Theo's mum's banana bread, she'd tried it on her first visit to his house and since then could never say no to it. She peels off some of the plastic wrap to take a slice and take large, well large by Lizzy standards at least, bite out of it. She chewed it thoughtfully, allowing the taste she loved so much to last as long as it could as possible in her mouth as she readjusted the plastic wrap to cover the delicious golden loaf before giving Theo a thumbs up to tell him it was as amazing as always. [color=cyan]"Alright, children. I need to see your permission slips now."[/color] came the voice of Alex who had, while keeping a serious face, entered the house and headed toward the cookies before eating one in his usual serious. [color=FF7F50]"Hey! I'm the responsible person on this trip I have [i]no need[/i] for a form,"[/color] Lizzy jokes, putting on an equally serious face and jokingly glaring down Theo before turning an accusing glance to Ariel. Lizzy was still not content with Ariel's plan to just up-'n'-leave but chose it better to not say anything. Before Lizzy could say anything more a knock from the door caused her to literally jump from the table in surprise. She was getting used to this 'don't knock- just enter' thing. [color=FF7F50]"I've got it,"[/color] she proclaim cooly, placing the banana bread on the spot on the table she just jumped off. Just when she was about mak e her way to the door she could hear it being opened and, before long, Cass appeared in the room followed by the guys. [i]Great.[/i] Lizzy thought to herself, sarcasm ever-present in her thoughts. Both Ada and Cass were going to be on this trip. This would be... interesting... to say the least. [color=firebrick]"Which one of you invited Philly Steak and why? I thought this was supposed to be fun."[/color] she called toward them, Lizzy turned to her, the smile fading from her face. [color=FF7F50]"Hey! Be nice! He doesn't usually do things like this,"[/color] Lizzy said defensively, tugging on her orange ponytail. She walked over to her beanie-clad bestie. It surprised her when he decided he would tag along. The group of people, even if the closest to friends he had despite Lizzy, were still a decently sized group of people of interesting sorts and being with them for weeks? Not something Lizzy would imagine Phil volunteering to take part in, but he did, and Lizzy was more than happy to have him in her company. Before should could say anymore, which she was about to do in the form of greeting her best friend, the distinct scent of tobacco waltzed into the room causing Lizzy tto all most gag, she hated that scent, but she knew who came with it and she didn't mind him. Taking no noticeto his greet Lizzy simply greeted Jamie before Phil's muttering caught her attention. She'd missed his exact wording but when he took off into the hallway she knew something was wrong and she could almost undoubtedly guess what. She allowed him to move partway down the hallway before striding in his direction with almost seemingly perfect assurity in what she was doing. When she approached Phil he was leaning against the wall. She slowed and strolled toward him, placing a hand on his arm. [color=FF7F50]"Philly?"[/color] she cooes, gazing softly into his brown eyes through his glasses with her deep hazel eyes. Suddenly it hit her. She [i]knew[/i] this wasn't Phil's thing but still, somehow, convinced him to come along. Phil's parents had both sang their praises at her for it but what if he really didn't want to do this? She felt terrible. [color=FF7F50]"Are you alright?"[/color] she asks softly. [color=FF7F50]"I didn't force you into this completely did I?"[/color]
