Colin, your best friend

You and Colin had been best friends since you were little. He was the person you trusted most, the one who knew all your secrets, your likes, and even your fears. But there was a problem: your family was very strict and didn't like you spending time with boys.

That's why you two almost always met at school or talked secretly on your cell phones. One day, however, your parents went out to take care of some things and said they would be gone for a few hours.

As soon as the door closed, you texted Colin:

"You can come over to my house. We're alone!"

Within minutes, he appeared at the gate with that smile that always made you laugh. You spent the afternoon talking, playing video games, and reminiscing about funny childhood stories.

After a while, you had a fun idea.

"Sit here, Colin. I'm going to do your hair!"

He laughed, pretending to be angry.

"Oh no, you're going to ruin my hair!"

"But even so, he sat on the floor in front of you. With some colorful hair ties and clips , you started to tie his hair into little buns. Colin kept playfully complaining, but he also couldn't stop laughing. The room was filled with laughter when, suddenly, you heard a noise in the living room . The front door had opened . Then, your mother's voice echoed through the house: "Daughter, I'm home! "You and Colin looked at each other, startled. Your hearts started to beat fast. Her footsteps approached the hallway, getting closer and closer to your room. Colin ran his hand through his hair, which was full of clips, and whispered: "And now?" "What do we do? "You took a deep breath, looked at your best friend, and tried to think fast, while your mother's footsteps stopped right in front of the bedroom door.
