They soon arrived at Aella's house and rushed inside to go see Kera's mom, Julia. (It doesn't sound mom- like but I'm terrible with names;-;)

As they entered, they saw Julia in the living room sitting on the couch reading a book. Kera instantly sprinted  and gave her mom a hug. She didn't cry though. Just gave  her a big hug and squeezed her tight. Julia was startled at first but then hugged her daughter back and smiled. It's had been 7 months since she was in the hospital because of her sickness  so she wasn't able to work much or spend time with her daughter like she used to. She ended up getting fired from her job as an ordinary office worker due to her many absences but never told anyone. No even her husband(kera's dad) and still till this day he doesn't know. Kera didn't know either until recently during their move to japan when she noticed Her mom having a not so good headache and is always tired. She called the hospital which she was told that her sickness would've been fatal if she hadn't called then. (This is a sickness that I'm making up okay? So bare with me here). One of her Childhood friends (aka BEST friend #1) Avila, Aella, Ella and Stella's mother (that's right, Aella's a triplet but I'll introduce that later on ;)) was kind enough to offer her money for her and her child until she was out of the hospital and her other childhood friend (aka BEST friend #2) yukashi offered to let Kera stay at her place with her two children; Yuko and Sukori. Avila and Yukashi didn't like eachother when they were young and surely not now so their children have never met each other- only Kera but she doesn't notice and neither does Julia. Sometimes Julia wonders why they don't like each other but just shrugs it off. It's like competition between your two best friends. Not sure on who to choose to hang with more.

"I missed you mom. How are you feeling?" Kera ask worriedly while looking into her moms brown eyes. Kera looks exactly like Julia except that Julia has long black hair and brown eyes. Kera has short black hair and golden eyes which she got from her father. "I missed you too, Tokame. I'm doing fine now thanks to you. Now please don't worry about me and tell me what you've been doing this whole time. How's your new school?" Julia says while slightly rubbing kera's back. "You might want to get comfortable. It's a LONG story and call me Kera now. Not Tokame." Kera says while looking up at Julia. "You don't like the name?" Julia slightly pouts but Kera shook her head no.
"It's not that. It's just a nickname my new best friends from school gave me"
"oh really? who?"
"Her dorky poor filthy friends, See and Vibe or whatever their names are" Aella said coldly as she walks in with a cup of tea. Kera rolls her eyes at her jealous friend. "It's Zee and Vibes and that's rude." Aella took a sip of her tea and looked at Kera with dead cold eyes. "Since when did you care if I was rude or not? You said it was funny on how I talked to people in this manner. That's how I know you're becoming soft. Next thing I know is that you'll become a little BITCH who cries for every little thing." Before Kera could say something, the front door opened. It's was Avila and two other blonde's coming inside. "We're home! Hey Aella, would you help us with the groceries? I'm making steak tonight." she walks  into the living room and drops the grocery bags. As soon as she looked up,she went wide eyed. "Tokame?! Julia?! Oh Im so glad to see you two again! It's been a while!" She opened up her arms and ran to them both giving them a big hug. "It's nice to meet you too, Avila" Julia says
"Since you're out of the hospital now...STAY HERE WITH ME!" Avila said while slightly holding onto Julia's arm. Julia laughs at her friend's childish behavior and then agreed. They then started talking for a while before Kera leaves the two adults to go walk around. She felt bad about not giving Aella attention and kept bragging on about people who she certainly hate so she went upstairs to go apologize but was stopped by the two familiar blonde's.
"Ella? Stell- Is THAT YOU?!" Kera shouted and them.
"Why are you yelling?" Ella said slightly laughing.
"I haven't seen you girls since school started. Where have you been all this time? I thought you two and Aella were going to go but usually I always see Aella by herself with Bijin" Kera says. "Wait, Aella hasn't told you? Stella says
"Tell me what?" They were silent. "Never mind. Aella will tell you what we meant" and then they walked off. 'Weird. They never act that especially Ella. She basically the shy one out of the three' Kera thought to herself.

Kera's POV:

That's weird. They just walked off without explaining what they meant. I shrugged it off and continued to walk towards Aella's room door. I stopped in front of the door and knocked. No way am I gonna just open the door. Last time I did that, I caught her and Bijin making out. I got no response so I knocked again.......No response. I knocked AGAIN and once AGAIN...NO.RESPONSE.
I was basically irritated at This point and just slammed her door open and saw her lying on her bed scrolling through her phone. "Are you deaf? I knocked like three fucking time's. Next time get your lazy ass up and open the damn door or  say something so I can get inside myself." I huffed. She ignored me and rolled over. Her back facing me. I then realized that she was really angry at me to the fact that she would ignore me. Usually she'll just say sorry or something but this?! Nuh- uh. I am NOT going to be ignored. "Don't make me result in plan B." I said crossing my arms. No response again. 'Giving me the silent treatment? Fine then' I thought to myself. I went inside her closet and pulled out one of my dresses(yes I keep my clothes here. I bought it for a special Occasion just in case someone tries to ignore me.).It was a black and white colored dress. (cough little maid dress). I then go to grab some white stockings that has  a black string attached to the side.
Looks like this:

I then go into the bathroom to change. 8 minutes of changing later I got out the bathroom with Aella's sweater that reaches my thighs and white stockings with no shoes...I don't wear these types of clothing but this is the style Aella loves. Her pervy self.
I put on the most innocent look I can manage and head downstairs to make Aella's favorite dessert. Cupcakes. I then went into the kitchen to go bake. As I enter the kitchen My mom, Ella and Stella were to busy watching tv to notice me but Avila did and asked why am I wearing that and said that it's for Aella. She laughs and nods before going to get her ingredients for dinner. I stopped her and said that I needed the kitchen right now and then she nods again, leaving the kitchen. I thanked her and headed to work.

45 minutes later I've finished. I made sure I did everything slowly without making a mess. Most of the time I was just deciding how I should decorate it to impress Aella.

I'm pretty sure I've nailed it. I tie up my hair trying to look pretty and fix my glass then grab the cupcakes and head upstairs.

Aella's POV:

I was on my phone scrolling through some pictures and texting my friends- mostly Bijin when I hear my door knock. I ignored it and continued to do what I was doing. It happened again which I ignored. THEN it happened AGAIN. 'Oh my god just LEAVE ALREADY!' I thought to myself. I then hear the door burst open and see Kera there with an irritated expression.
"Are you deaf? I knocked like three fucking times. Next time, get your lazy ass up and open the damn door or say something so I can get inside myself." I heard her say. I ignored her and rolled over to face the window and basically tuned her out after that. What I'm doing might be childish but I can't help it. How would you feel if you're best friend hung out with people who YOU hate and kept bragging about them and stuff and forgetting to hang out with you? I couldn't help but get jealous and angry at that. I realized that a few minutes has passed and I heard nothing but silence. I looked over my shoulder and saw that she wasn't here anymore. I sigh and put my phone down to go shower. 30 minutes later I got out, dried up and put on my pajamas. Basically a plain white shirt and baby pink sweat pants. I fixed up my messy blonde hair and combed it down then tied it in a tight downward ponytail and basically relaxed the rest of the time until I heard a knock on the door.

Still Aella's POV: I heard a knock on my room door and told the person on the other side to enter. My eyes widen as I saw that is was Kera with a sweet, innocent smile (which I knew was fake. I know her way too well to know that Kera isn't as innocent as she seems) while wearing a little maid dress. Stocking and gloves with a little headband to go with it. Her black hair tied up in a bun and was holding up a plate of my favorite dessert. Cupcakes. I blushed at her outfit. If I didn't already have a girlfriend, I would of grab her and kissed her. Whether she liked it or not. She closed the door and walked up to me. "Sorry for making you angry for not spending time with you. So.. consider this as an apology." She said as she gave me a cupcake to eat. I took the cherry first and took a bite then ate the whole cupcake. "Delicious." I said. She smiled wider. "I made it from scratch all by myself." Then she frowned and said "so eat all of it and forgive me." She gave me the plate and sat on my bed next to me to get the remote and turn the tv on. I looked at her and smiled then continued on eating. After I finished I turn my head to see that she's on my phone taking a picture of herself and possibly sending it to her phone.
"So you like to take selfies now?" I said in a teasing voice."shut up. Only because I'm feeling myself today. So. We good?" She ask. I nodded. "Yeah." Kera gave me a soft smile and went back to watching tv. I joined her soon after. Minutes of silence later I decided to ask her an important question. "Kera." She look at me. "Yeah?"

"How would you like to be an assassin?"
