Missin 10

WEEKENDS means no school. If other students are having their good day now, well I'm not. So many things to do. It's very busy here unlike the usual. It is going to happen here today. We are here in the garden, we are busy putting the table and foods.

Good thing the weather is good today. The sky is blue and it is not that hot. A perfect day indeed to have a family reunion.

When 9o'clock came, there were some people coming over. I'm smiling and greeting them, others greet me back but others will look at me with an eyebrow raised and roll their eyes to me. I'm kind of offended but it's fine as long as they don't say or do anything that can harm me.

I giggle when I see Elizar faking his smile and laughing whenever a relative is greeting. I can see it through his face. Well, I guess no one noticed it because, maybe one of his aunts, even pinch his cheeks before going in.

Without even noticing where I was going, someone bumped into me and accidentally spilled her tea on me. I heard her chuckle, I didn't mind it but when I heard her call me 'ugly' and 'idiot'. I wanted to glare at her yet I didn't do it.

I almost puke when she pretends to be worried and asks me if I'm alright when she whispers it right through my ears that I'm ugly and an idiot to her.

I manage to smile and say "I'm okay."

I saw her lips tremble as she stopped herself from laughing at me. She tapped my shoulder before she walk away from me. She didn't even say sorry to me.

"Are you alright?" "You okay, Kia?"

I flinch when two guys approach me and ask me. I looked up and found out that it was Elizar and Dominic. Why is Dominic here? I thought it's a family reunion?

"I'm fine," I said and gave them a reassuring smile. I saw Elizar glared at my back where the girl went after she left me. Elizar scanned my whole body as if he was checking if there was a scratch or bruise in my body. Why would he do that?

"Dominic-"

"No more talking. Go upstairs and change your clothes," Elizar commanded. I bid my goodbye to Dominic.

AFTER CHANGING MY CLOTHES, I almost had a heart attack when Elizar suddenly appeared in front of the doors.

"That girl didn't hurt you or said anything to you?"

Her voice echoed inside my head. I bow my head a little to avoid his gaze before answering.

"She didn't do anything. We bump into each other and her drink accidentally spills into me," I explained. I look back at him to see his reaction but his stare is clearly telling me that he doesn't believe what I've said.

"It's true," I added and avoided his gaze again. He nodded at me before leaving me here without saying anything. I bit my lower lip and went downstairs.

"KIARRA!" I look around to find who is calling. I smiled when I found out that Dominic is the one calling my name.

"Why are you here? This is a family reunion," I asked when he got closer. He smirked and answered, "Maybe Roshiela is inviting her future husband here."

I rolled my eyes. What confidence he got there.

"Oh, it's nice to know that you already knew each other." We both looked at who spoke behind us. It's Roshiela.

I saw Roshiela blush when Dominic casually called her name and asked her how her day was. It looks like the feeling is mutual.

"Roshiela, why did you invite him here? I thought it's a family reunion." She blushes at my question. I bit my tongue to stop myself from laughing at his reaction.

"My m-mom and dad want to meet him." I tried my best to stop myself from laughing. Both of them are blushing!

"Rosie!" The three of us look behind. It is a woman, she looks young. She might be a friend or a cousin.

"Mom!" Mom?! Wait, are you serious? She didn't look like a mom at all!

"How old is your mom?" She looked at me and thought a lil bit before answering my question. "She is 42 or 43, I think?" She chuckles and runs to her mom. No way. That woman looks like in 20's. How can she maintain her young posture?

"Kiarra, right? I'm Ivy. Rosie and Ej's mom," she introduce herself politely. I nodded at her and introduce myself as well.

"Kiarra Zen, Ma'am Ivy. Nice meeting you." She giggles and pinches my cheeks.

"You are so cute. I'd like to talk to you later but for now, goodbye. Let's go, Dominic and Rosie." I can't laugh at Dominic's reaction when he got called by Roshiela's mother because I was nervous talking to that woman. Even though she brings a light aura. I feel something's off.

I'M WATCHING PEOPLE the whole time until it was time for them to go home. Some wanted to stay but they couldn't. I even hear Dominic and Roshiela talking.

"Thanks for inviting me, Roshiela." It was Dominic's voice. I can feel the sadness and disappointment in his voice. I don't want to listen to their conversation but I can't move my feet.

"I'm sorry. It's a disaster." Disaster? I was surprised when someone whisper in my ear. It is Ma'am Ivy.

"You doin' somethin'?" I shyly shook my head and smiled at her question. "Good. Let's talk?"

I gulp as I nod again. Her smile is so sweet but it gives chills to me. What are we going to talk about?
