Chapter 7 : Discovery

"Just pretend we aren't besties but siblings and well you wanna tell me about your crush"

"Umm well" he said looking everywhere in the shop and trying not to meet my eye.

"Well? "

"Oh gosh merr, I don't know what to do, I've been meaning to tell you or precisely considering telling you but then I was not sure and in my head I was all confused and asking myself what if you are those kind of girls who prefer thier bestie and siblings always away from each other or what if you hate me for liking your twin because I'm gay. You said you were cool alright but what if you didn't want that disease as everyone describes it around you and your family."

"Hey, hey chill with the what ifs. First of all, I'm not homophobic because M is gay, you didn't hear it from me, secondly I adore you to bits I'll never hate you and thirdly you haven't answered my question.

"Oh Merr he's adorable, I barely make it in any class then you guys came along and then I just saw him and well now I cannot pay attention in any of the classes we have together. All I do is just stare at his hair daydreaming of the day I'll be playing with it. Sometimes he just turns randomly and smiles at me nervously and kind of disgusted. He doesn't talk to me and that makes me soooo… I don't know, suicidal? I guess. Because it feels like he's kind of disgusted that I'm gay.

"Code don't think like that. M knows better than to judge a book by its cover. He's just an introvert with trust issues but if you get to know him you'll realise he's cool and a little bit annoying. Well it's weird that my new bestie has been drooling all over my twin and lifetime bestie. " Cody suddenly turns his face focusing on something behind me I think he's avoiding my eye but well I know how to work this out.

" Hey look me in the eye. I love you to bits and I truly don't mind you having something with M just keep in mind if you hurt him I will break, toast and feed you to Tricks."

"Thanks Merr, I love you too so much and I won't dare to think of hurting M. Wait a minute!" He exclaimed looking at me sceptically.

"What?" I asked confused with the look on his face.

" What if HE hurts me?" He questioned definitely emphasising on the 'He'.

"Ooh that don't worry I'll do same, break him, toast him and feed him to Solange."

"Who is Solange?"

"His pet snake"

"I can't date him!!" exclaimed Code.

"Why?"

"I am snake phobic or precisely scared of snakes."

"Haha haha don't worry Solange doesn't really exist and she's always locked up in his head in his supposed lair. It was kind of scary growing up thinking he had an imaginery friend who was a snake but well everyone is used to it now even my dad."

"Babes how long?"

" Code, seven long years"

"That's really deep you know"

"I know right. Code I think we should head back for your car because my mum might be worried at the moment and my phone battery died."

Cody and I left the ice cream shop and started the long walk back to the school. When we got to the school, there stood a very very angry Pan just by Cody's car. Damn I thought he was going to explode.

"Ooohh you young missy, you are in serious trouble. Do you know how the hell your mum, Arthur and I were freaking out and worried about you. What if you had gotten kidnapped or killed or that incident repeated itself. I swear on Uncle Zeus I would have hunted down that fool or those fools and dealt with them myself." scolded Mark.

"Young mister for your information I'm grown enough to take good care of myself and if I may ask who would want to kidnap a plain ordinary girl from the UK. I was also with Code. He won't let any harm come my way." I retorted back

"Well no one in general" he lied. He obviously knew something I didn't know and I bet he might explain himself later.

Cody cut into the convo as usual

"Hey Mark. It's been a while since I saw you in school. By the way how do you know Merr this well? Oh wait are you guys there or dating. Merr!! You didn't mention." asked Cody.

This is the Pan Mark I told you about. Who goes to our school. Annoying traits of a chimpanzee. Unknown cousin.

M's new roomie and game buddy.

"Ahh yeahh Panny! Baby girl that's some hard shit you–" Cody blurted out

"Language Code" I said.

"Sorry. Rephrase. That's pretty hard. You've got some smoking hot Greek gods in your house you know."

"Literally. If only you knew my guy." said a beaming Mark

"Figuratively" I corrected shooting daggers at him.

"See you tomorrow baby girl. Have a nice trip home." Laughed Cody. "Calll me yeah. So we talk about Solange and his master, okay?" He winked.

" Sure love. Bye!" I replied.

Cody and I said our goodbyes. Then Mark and I climbed into Mark's car and I very well knew I was coming to get an earful from Mark and I was so prepared for this long journey back home. Mark complained all the way home about the world not being a safe place and that anything could happen to me. And how I was supposed to tell everyone where I was going all the time because they easily get worried. That wasn't bad after all. That talk made the ride quite short.

We arrived home to two army green SUVs parked on our front yard. That is creepy because none of our family members here in Brazil are that wealthy to own brand new SUVs of the latest model (no offence).

Mark and I entered and the main TV lounge and there were these two smartly dressed hot looking men sitting with M, Arthur and Mum like they were waiting for someone.

"Gran! Uncle P!!"Sputtered Mark.
