Mimy loved her little sister unconditionally she protected her from any kind of bullies and dangerous situation, she did every possible thing to make her little sister cheer up.

Dilin was about 56.5 inches tall now,having a doll-like broad beautiful and clear smooth sweet-face , quite widened round eyes with brown colour,she looked as beautiful as her late mother Viviana back in her childhood times. She was in fourth grade now and her sister was in the eighth grade , they both went in the same school , The Rollen Hills Middle school, it was quite miles away from where they lived, they had to take a bus daily to get there.

Dilin was one among the most popular adorable girls in school. Because of her adorable looks the school's fashion club enrolled her to take part in the school's fashion-kid magazine contest. Only two days were left for the results to come out,the big event made Dilin a little nervous, she was the youngest contestant all other contestants were from higher grades and they seemed more fashionable and matured than her, she was worried how heartbroken her elder sister will be, she has been supporting and cheering hee all the way long.

On weekend both Dilin and Mimy were at home with their mother,aunt Emily and their grand-Godmother. Miranda looked at her youngest daughter as they were having their lunch, she looked spaced out," Is something bothering you sweetheart?", asked Miranda while focusing her eyes on her daughter, Dilin looked at her mother and puffed her cheeks adorably then twisted her head as a sign that she wasn't bothered by anything.

Mimy looked at her little sister and noticed she was lying,"If you are worried that am going to be dissapointed about you not winning the competition...", Mimy said to Dilin, she turned to her little sister and held her arms between her's," There's no way that's going to happen because whether you win or loose....", she paused and patted Dilin's head, "You'll still be my favourite and most beautiful baby sister in the universe", she added ,brought her closer and gave her a tight warm hug,"I love you very much my cubie", whispered Mimy, Dilin smiled as she hugged her sister back,"I love you too, sis", said Dilin.

Miranda looked at her two daughters her heart was felt with joy she smiled and the cleared her throat," Ahem....Are you two going to hug like that and leave me out, am kind of jealous you know", boasted Miranda, The two girls ran to their mother and hugged her warmly." We love you too mom!", said both of them.

Cara was now ten years old, she was a little bright- eyed young girl but she lucked a smile on her face despite getting everything she wanted, she was very stuborn with a self-centered personality ,her bad temper grew worse as she got older, Dalis, her cousin was the only person she wanted to stick around to. Whenever someone else tried getting close to her she would throw a tantrum all the way long just to annoy them, in the easiest way to describe her she was a total bad-ass type of girl . Cara's grandfather Mr. Hartson did all he could to make his granddaughter a happy-faced child but he never succeeded infact she never wanted to get anywhere near her grandparents, Well, it wasn't a big deal for her grandmother Colleth since she never paid much attention to her.

Mr.Hartson and his whole family were having dinner, as he was looking around Mr.Hartson noticed Edward paying attention to his son, Dalis, he just turned thirteen now about 59 inches tall, black-hair, brown brighty eyes , smooth facial tone, moderately pale with quite obvius a mischevious looks , he was adorable kind of a sweet talker , despite being young he was a charming and playfull boy unlike his cousin Cara, he loved getting along with people around him including Cara confident and self- willed boy , his father ,Edward loved him so much that he would do anything to make him happy amd get anything he wished for , "I have had a thought of taking him abroad, "Mr. Hartson interjected as he noticed Edward's glancing to his Grandson, Edward looked at his father with suprise, " What?! Dad! Abroad?When?!", Edward asked his father, Mr.Hartson looked down and sighed like he was too tired to explain everything to him, " This year", he replied ," I want my grandson to have the best education so he can help my granddaughter operating our company in the future".

He finished explaining ,stood up holding his walking stick and walked up the stairs to his room , he was getting too old to walk on his own, his body disobeyed him, he really needed that stick for support. As he walked up the stairs Edward stared at his father with confusion, Dalis is his son then why is his father making decisions that concern his own family? More so, without informing him? Wasn't this a bit too much? Edward thought.

Colleth stretched her arm and touched Edward's hand on the table, " Its for the best, so I think you should let Dalis go abroad for studies ", she said, " ....infact it will help him become more mature, if you keep him here he may turn-out to be a spoiled child", Colleth added, Edward looked at his mother and put a fading smile on his face. Edward stood up from the dining table and left, as he stepped on the first stair he heard his mother asking him ," Have you found her yet?" , asked Colleth Edward froze and didn't take a step further, he didn't turn to look back at his mother, his mother could sense a furious scent from her son, she knew perfectly well Edward never wanted to talk about that kind of topic, Edward furiously clenched his fist," Mom, can we please not have this conversation again ?!", he said and went up the stairs, Colleth shook her head pitifully and continued having her meal.

Dalis smirked and kept eating his dinner , he wasn't paying attention to whatever the elders were blabbering about, about him going to abroad, he had nothing to loose afterall infact he has always wished to visit far away places but his mother wouldn't let him , she was overprotective and never wanted anyone to take him anywhere without her consent. He finished his meal and ran up the stairs to his room, he was too young to be stressed out about anything when he had all he wanted there , waking up, having his meals and playing around with his ten years old cousin Cara was all he thought of, infact he was Cara's favourite companion that made him Cara's baby-sitter and companion atleast that was the hardest thing he could think of.

**********************************

The day they all have been waiting for had arrived, the school's next most adored fashion-kid was to be sorted out of all the contestants and the winner would be at the front-cover of the school's most famous club, the fashion club. Dilin was nervous, she looked around all the other contestants were from higher grades ,' Will I even make it, they seem more pottential than me', she thought, "All contestants please get ready to enter the stage" , the host's voice was clearly heard by all the contestants who were nervously and eagerly waiting at the back stage, Dilin was dressed in a black tube top tucked in a black tiered mini-skirt with white stripes, a light white feathered jacket and pair of tiny wedge booties covered with tiger-skin like markings her hair was well done brown and curly, she was pretty natural on the face since she didn't wear too much make up like the others did, she never liked it anyway..

It was her turn to step on the stage, Dilin wrapped her chest with her hands and breathed out heavily ," I can do this", she whispered to herself, she loosened her body placed one of her hands on the waist and went up the stairs with cat- walking move, the wedge shoes she weared were well balanced , safe enough for her to walk along the stage without worrying about falling down, she stepped up the stairs into the stage and there she was! All the spotlights headed to her, all eyes glanced at her now she got even more nervous but she didn't allow that to affect her perfomance, from quite a distance she could hear very loud screams from her sister Mimy, " Go ! go ! Dilin our little champion" , shouted Mimy she was so excited seeing her little Dilin on stage," ...You can do it! go!go girl!" , she shouted even more, hearing her sister's screams , Dilin felt a new energy in her she felt the urge to win, even if its not for her atleast for her sister who always believed in her. She walked around the stage smoothly , she bounced proudly with a bright smile on her face waving to the other cheering audience down the stage , the judges were carefully observing but this didn't distract her from focusing on the competition, she walked around the stage then went back to her fellow contestants and stood next to them. All the remained contestants entered the stage and the performance came to an end.

Finally, the moment they have been eagerly waiting for had come, Mimy was restless she understood how it would upset Dilin if she lost the contest, she prayed for her little sister's victory hopefully," The winner of today's contest is....", the voice snapped Mimy out of her quiet prayers, she loooked at her sister who was still smiling brightly though she knew how scared Dilin was. The host had paused a bit and cleared her throat, " Ahem....Dilin Montero! ", the host shouted the name out loud ," ....And that makes her the next front-cover face of Rollen Hills fashion club magazine also the ambassador to all fashion-kids in and out of the school", finished the host , a loud applause from the audience followed Dilin was so excited that she froze on the spot she was, tears of joy came out of Mimy's eyes she ran up the stage and hugged her little sister," Told you...You could do it!", said the crying Mimy," My little champion...", Mimy said with a crying voice," I love you so much", she hugged her more tightly, Dilin said nothing but a smile on her face could describe how excited she was, ' It's all because of you' , Dilin said in her mind as she softly patted her older sister's back.

***************************

A twelve years aged boy ,slightly chubby -faced, smiley altitude clear smooth face , well cut black hair with brownish monolid eyes, his name Jasper Morgan , he was sitting in the car staring at his new transfer school's magazine, it was his first day at Rollen hills , he wondered what the school will be like, he had personally asked his mother to move him to that school and she had accepted.

Jasper's mother was the one driving him to his new school, her name was Loreen Morgan,a beautiful blonde woman, broad symetrical face, narrow chin ,the AMS Designing Company chairman's wife one of the largest fashion and designing companies in the city, Loreen's husband was also the biggest shareholder of the Rollen Hills Middle School that made it easier for Jasper to transfer there from his old school.

Loreen was wondering what made his son want to go to Rollen Hills, it was actually a fancy school and fitted his status but in the past when Jasper's father tried to transfer Jasper whined non-stop , he hated the idea of going to that school but why all over sudden would he want to go there so eagerly? She turned aside and looked at her son who sat next to her," You have been staring at the front-cover for quite sometime now, what's so interesting there?", Loreen asked her son with a full-lip smile, Jasper secretly smirked ,still glancing at the cover," Mom, when she grows a little older can she assign as a model in our company?", asked Jasper as he held the book up and showed the magazine's front-cover to his mother, it was Dilin's photo, she looked cute on the photo, Loreen smiled ," Is she the reason you agreed to transfer?", she asked," Looks like you have a crush, you already chose a daughter-in-law for me?", she teased Jasper .

Jasper looked at his mother and puffed his cheeks with annoyance but he was shy too,"Mooom!", he whined," That's too sharp accusation for a little boy don't you think", he said , Loreen bursted out a laughter," Hahahaha...did I hit the mark?", Loreen kept teasing her son,

" What do you expect me to think?You have been stuborn transfering all this time and now you just asked for the transfer yourself out of the blue pluuus....".

Loreen looked at Jasper and raised her eyebrow as if she was curious about something," .. Why did you keep staring at the little girl on the front-cover ?", she added, " All those reasons are enough for me to suspect you have a crush on that girl, I remember soon after you watched the contest video at Rollen Hills page in IG thats when your perception about Rollen Hill changed". It was true Jasper hated Rollen Hills until the day he watched the fashion contest video that was recorded on the event, Jasper silenced after knowing that he had no way to argue about that, his mother caught him red handed but anyways all that doesn't matter so long as he could get to be close to Dilin, his little princess.

****************************

Nicole was busy in piling up things ready for her son's trip , Dalis was going to leave for studies abroad,all things were well packed up, Nicole took her phone and called Edward, the phone rang in a short while then Edward picked up," Hellow..", said Edward, Nicole was nervous ," Sweetheart Dalis is ready to go to the airport will you take him there?", asked Nicole, Edward paused quietly for a while," Tell the driver to take him there, I'll meet you at the airport", he finished and hanged up the call, Nicole looked at her phone she wanted to say more to him but Edward was sometimes kind of a cold beast to her , he only focused on work and paid attention to his son, only a few times when he needed favours from Nicole that's when he cuddled up with her but Nicole had gotten used to it, she loved her husband so much that she had to torelate all the pain.

Dalis came down the stairs, he weared a white collared t-shirt with red stripes, black pants and pair of nike rubber shoes,his hair was well cut and brushed from behind only a few strands hanging on his clear smooth smiley face, Cara sat in the sitting room quietly, she was sad that Dalis was leaving the house , he was the closest person to her now she has to be an introverted person she didn't like any other family members. " Wow!Look at you....You look so handsome sweetheart", Nicole said to her son," ...I feel sorry for the girls out there", she teased him,Dalis smiled at his mother," Well, I can't help it being handsome,all thanks to you I can twist hundreds of hearts", Dalis boasted and smirked, he went and reached out to Cara and rubbed her soft hair gently,Cara was sulking,"Do you really have to go?", she asked, Dalis looked at her pitifully," Yes , but I promise I'll be back sooner and keep you company"

Dalis said to calm her down, he hugged Cara who was now crying," I'm going to miss you", said the crying girl, Dalis rubbed her hair on the back smoothly," Am going to miss you too", he said to Cara.

"Sir, its time to leave", the chauffeur said to Dalis who was still cuddling with Cara, he stood up, kissed Cara on the forehead and waved goodbye to her, Cara waved back while wiping her teary cheeks sadly. Dalis entered the car with his mother then drove off to the airport.

**************************

Dilin sat quietly at the edges of the school's garden, she waited for Mimy to come out from her class, a gang of bad boys approached her, they had been bullying Dilin for quite a while now, they always teased and made fun of her,

"Hey girlie!", said the gang leader name Jaycom, he looked much older than other fifth graders, his body was quite huge than of a normal child though he was supposed to look eleven years old but he actually looked fifteen , he even scared some of the upper graders .

Dilin stood up and tried to leave quietly but the boy grabbed her bag and pulled her back," Where do you think your going cutie?",Jaycom mocked Dilin a loud laughter came from other group members as they enjoyed how Jay gave Dilin a hard time."Let her go!", a voice was heard from behind, they all turned and looked who that was, almost all students bowed obidiently to this gang then who was this trying to mess with them,

" Who do you think you are, pipsqueak?", Jaycom groaned at Jasper who just arrived in time to save Dilin from the bullies, one of the boys walked towards jasper as he just got closer to him, Loreen appeared behind Jasper," Jasper! What are doing here?", Loreen asked her son.

Jasper was a little shocked his mother's arrival, it was unexpected she had gone to clear her son's registration procedures and asked him to wait for her outside, while waiting Jasper spotted Dilin sitting beside the school garden from quite a distance he told himself that he would talk to her after his mother is done with all registration process but he had to go help her after seeing the gang giving her a hard time. Dilin was rather quiet and calm , she disliked arguments unlike her sister Mimy who would smack the hell out of your face incase someone messed with her, this way Dilin was much safer under the her sister's protection .

Loreen looked at her son and the gang of boys infront of them, she was shocked to see how Jaycom grabbed Dilin's bag from her back, "Jay? Why are holding her like that?", she asked furiously, all the other kids where suprised to hear that this lady knew who Jaycom was even Jasper, " Mom! You know who he is?", Jasper asked, Loreen turned and looked at her son," Yes, your father and his father are business partners", she explained, Like whaaat? Jasper was just planning to beat this dude to death and he turns out to be the son of his dad's closest friend, how unlucky he thought there was no way he could lay a finger on him.

" Let the girl go, Jay or I'll tell your dad about this ", Loreen said to Jaycom, he angrily pushed Dilin hard on the ground, " aaahh!", a little scream was heard from Dilin, Jaycom left with his gang he was annoyed, no one ever interferes his business, " Hey Jay!", one of his gangmates called him," What do we do about the new nosy kid?", he asked , Jaycom stayed quiet ,the other crew member called him,"Jay!Jay!", Jaycom furiously turned at them ," I'll deal with him myself, so you stay out of this!", he yelled at them then turned and left them stunned.

" What did we do wrong?" , one of the boys asked, the others just shrugged quietly.

Jasper helped Dilin stand up," Are you okay?", he asked, Dillin just nodded as she wiped tears on her face,Jasper searched his pockets and drew a clean handkerchief," Here, You can use this its still new", said Jasper as handed the handkerchief to Dillin, Dillin took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, " Thank you", said Dilin , " I'll wash and give it back to you", she added , Jasper smiled at her," No need , I have plenty of them you can keep it", he coaxed , " We can be friends in return for the favour I did, what do you think?", said Jasper, Dilin put a fading smile on her face," Okay.... am Dilin", she said and gave out a hand to Jasper ," Jasper...", he shook her hand gently with a smile as the sign to their new friendship, Loreen looked at these two adorable kids and put on a smiley expression filled with adoration , she stepped forward closer to them ," Okay Jasper we need to go now" , she called out for Jasper, Jasper waved goodbye as he turned to follow his mom with a face full excitement,

'How lucky of me', he thought Dilin and she waved back to him. She watched him leave with his mother to the car.

In the car Jasper had big smiley face, his mother noticed how happy he was, " I see you very excited about getting to be friends with your crush!?", she teased , Jasper wasn't paying attention to his mother he looked outside the window smiling non-stop his little chubby cheeks turned red and hot just thinking how fortunate he got to talk to his girl-Idol. He felt that his life in new school would be exciting.
