First In The Grade

"It's..."

"Aditi," Jayden's voice called as he entered the kitchen, "Your brother is here to take you home."

"Oh, he's here?!" Aditi's eyes lit up as she wiped her hands with a towel. They had already finished the dishes by now. She pulled Leila into a hug, her excitement momentarily making her forget their conversation.

After saying thank you and goodbye, she dashed outside, beaming.

"Brother!" She leaped into Vincent's arms. "I've missed you so much."

Her brother had been away for around a week on a business trip and it was an understatement to say she had missed him.

"Oh brother, you know, I took a test today. Guess how much I scored?" She blinked secretively.

"How much?"

"A whopping 800!"

"You did well," Vincent said, patting her head with a smile that made him appear even more dashing. The woman passing by even stopped to admire him properly.
