Chapter 5: Hi

"Maybe we are all different in every aspect of our lives," Zandra said reminiscing her memory from the cafe that they used to hang out and sipped her coffee.

Denzel woke up early with Zandra so they can catch up with her brother taking off to school...she was wearing her uniform and her Anti-radiation glasses while she was eating breakfast with her brother all of her brother staring at her.

"Why are you all staring at us? I asked

"Mom and Dad already went to work," Randy announced and delivering our breakfast to our table.

All of us were seated and began to munch.

"Hey, What happened why are you suddenly wearing glasses?" Renz raised his eyebrows

I glanced at Denzel and she panicked to remove her anti-radiation glasses and seat as nothing happened.

"I forgot to take it off since I was studying yesterday, with gadgets". I said and he looked at me intently and ignored me.

I shook my head and chuckled and removed my anti-radiation eyeglasses and put them in my bag. I was eating breakfast with them.

"Brother? Are you going to go home after school?" I asked them all and all of their attention went to me.

"Yes, why?" Denver asked and drunk his water.

"Uhh, nothing I just asked. Let us continue our breakfast so that we can leave now". I smiled and continued eating.

All of us continued eating and none of us talk about our school.

''Okay I'm done to brush my teeth..gotta go now..''

Both of them went to school with her Brothers she walked as fast as she can until she can reach Zandra and dragged her shoulder to ran with her going to their school.

All of her brothers also ran after them and they stopped as they saw the sign of the gaming store to release a new version of games.

Renz, Denver, and Randy pull out their wallet from their pocket and start counting their money for the game, but a strange man snatch Randy's wallet away from him and he started to chase the man. He chases the strange man who snatched his wallet, but the girl suddenly appeared in his sight and kicked the strange man and dialed her phone to call the cops. After that call, she steps forward in my way and gave me my wallet.

" Sorry, but I think this is yours," she said with a smile on her face.

" Uh, Thanks for saving my wallet" I raised my wallet and I smiled awkwardly and scratch my head.

"You're welcome, you need to leave right now and keep safe," she said and smiled at me.

I walked on my way to school and I went to my classroom with my brother and my brother looked at me suspiciously from their eyes.

"Did you kick the strange man?" Denver said and he sat from his chair facing Randy.

That seating arrangement looks like I am going to be interview by this host.

" Did you report it to the cops? we still need to come back from the store to buy it". Renz said to him with his poker face and clasped his hand to my desk.

I took a deep breath and answer their questions one by one

" I didn't kick the strange man who snatched my wallet. He faced Denver with his eyes and he shifted his gaze to Renz

"No, but someone reports it". he said and

"It is the girl who kicked and reports it to the cops..She saved my wallet". He said and all of them went closer to him and ask some interrogate him.

"Oh, so you got love at first sight" Denver smirked. He ignored him.

" So what are you gonna do next if you are love at first sight. I believe your ideal type of a girl is a strong woman" Renz said with his teasing smile. I just stare at him a second and massaged the bridge of my nose.

" Uh-huh yeah," I said and opened my book to study they are all hyped like a monkey beast

and started to tease me.

All of them returned to their seat and opened their books to study.

I held my face and slapped it to wake up my sense and focused on reading the book and all of my classmate's burst and laugh at my brothers.

Am I a clown?? or just stupid?

It keeps replaying what she did a while ago in my mind and I can't focus on what I am reading.

"That presentation was a blast! it was a successful presentation that I have made with you all". Renz shouted from the street everyone looked at him, but he wore a mask to cover his face from the embarrassment.

" Finally, I've reached the gaming store!" I said with a punching fist from the air from accomplishment.

"Hey, do you think this would be good? we haven't tried any of this kind of games yet, we almost strolling to this store for about 1 hour and still can't decide which one we are going to purchase" Denver said you can see in his face that he like the game that he picked.

"I haven't seen that before," I said he nods his head

"I will buy it so that you can borrow it," he said and went to the cashier to pay.

We went home and assemble everything we prepared some snacks for our night.

We invited Yves to our house, to play and he is going to sleep with us. In our room, we are not allowed to disturb our little sister on the other side.

"Hey, go from the other side of the tunnel!" Renz said.

"Okie Dokie" I controlled my character and went to the tunnel, but I didn't win the game.

"Try again next time!" Denver said and gulped his soft drinks.

"We didn't win, but that's alright," Renz said and went to the kitchen to grab some popcorn.

"We won Yves, what will be the consequence for both of them. Hmm?" Denver slaps his back and giggle.

"The consequence you will gonna clean our mess, Deal or Nah?" he said and ate his popcorn.

"Ok, no problem" We agreed and start cleaning our mess.

We won the game and I went upstairs to go to Denver's room to rest.

"Why is that his room was surrounded by teddy bears?" I wandered his room and saw a picture of their family.

I looked at it closely and I heard someone's footsteps and I walked out and find his room.

"Why would I invade someone else room" I whispered.

I saw Denver went to his room and I followed him.

"Hey, I thought you were sleeping already," he said and sat on his bed.

"It's not I went to the bathroom first to wash my face". I answered and prepare my pillow to rest.

" Can I ask you?"

"Did you have a little sister?" I asked and he quickly gets up and sat.

"yes" he answered

"Are you going to court her?" he asked and he smirked.

"If you are going to court her, you have to court us first." he chuckled

"No, I'm not interested. I just asked." I answered.

"When will your brother come back?" he asked

" I haven't asked him yet, but he said that maybe next month". I answered and his lips twisted.

"Good night Dude," He said and turned off the lights.

"Good night" I covered myself with a blanket and sleep.

Yves already left and went to his home to have breakfast with his family. He went upstairs to put his stuff and went to the dining room to eat with his family.

"Good Morning Everyone" he greeted and sat on his chair.

"Good Morning Son" His Father and Mother greeted.

"Where did you go?" His Mother asked

"I went to my friend's house..he invited me to play games with them and also sleep. he answered and his father stared at him.

" Do you want to come with me to work?" His Father asked and Yves stopped from eating and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Yes, I want to see your working area, Dad," His eyes started to sparked.

"Well, we better hurry and finish our breakfast!" his father happily ate his breakfast with his family.

"Slow down from chewing your food". his mother said and caress his father's back.

" Sorry Honey," His father said, and Yves laughs and hugged his mother and father.
