"Where were you?" Minx appeared in front of me suddenly. Her arms were crossed over her chest and she was currently tapping her foot impatiently. I frowned at her, asking, "Where were I supposed to be?"

Minx flared up immediately. "You was supposed to have lunch with me, remember? Gah, you're such a jerk!" Minx shrieked furious, her shrill voice filling up the whole living room.
