Jodi was watching the TV in the living room, while Michael and the rest of his family went up to their rooms. She eventually got a message, which made her a little bit suspicious. She closed the TV and looked at it once more. "How did Renz get my number...? When did I give it to him?" She thought, analyzing his message. She quickly ran to Michael's room and entered. She found him laying on his bed, staring at the ceiling with a frown, but she didn't pay much attention to that. "Michael, hear what Renz sent me:" She began reading his message out loud, and then looked back at Michael. He thought for a long second, and then said:
"So why did you tell me this?"
"Do you want to go?"
"...No. They can have their pizza tacos, and they can buy chocolate cake. I am not going."
"What? Why not? Since when do you turn down free food?"
"Since now. You can go if you want, but I am staying here." Jodi tried to protest, but Michael held up his hand. "No. I am clearly just an inconvenience."
"But Azumi apologized! Doesn't that mean something to you."
"She can give all the apologies in the world, and it still wouldn't be fine. I. Am. Done."
"Wow, I didn't take you for a quitter..." Jodi said with a disappointed look.
"I'm sorry, you can still go meet with them. Just without me."
"Fine, but I'll hope you reconsider. Good night." She swiftly waved, closed the door and went to her room.
