chapter two: ashamed

While I was reading on our journey to school, my sister was being quite dramatic.

"You know sis,those girls in front of our neighboring school, their really annoying.!" She had a frown on her face.

I asked, "Why?" while focusing on the book I was holding.

I was reading a book during the trip because if I didn't, I would get dizzy from Aya's gossip. Like now, even if you're not interested, she just keeps talking.

One fact about my sister: she is a gossipy being.

When you're talking to her, it's like you have an instant newspaper because she knows all the news. I couldn't help but laugh when I realised how much of a gossipy she is, even dragging in those from the other school with her gossip.

"Their so flirty,what? does she think she's beautiful.?!!!" Her tone of voice was so annoyed, so I laughed.

" Why would you be annoyed when they're from the other side? And how do you know they're flirty, huh Ayana?"My tone of voice became serious.

She turned to me with and pouted." I'll pull that mouth of yours if you won't answer me, you know."

"Because they're flirting with my crush,"she said with a sad tone.

I raised my gaze to her. I became interested in what she said. She's just a friendly, but she doesn't easily like a guy, especially one from a public school.

Because she's quite the drama queen. Since she became aware of the word crush, she only had two crushes.

"Really? You like someone from a public school?? It's hard to accept." I raised my eyebrows as I asked..

The fool's lips pouted again and she even grimaced.

"Wow!, just wow!.. So what if he's from a public school?" She said sharply. "He's good-looking and quite charming. Plus, he's nice." She is clearly getting excited thinking about it..

"And how did you come to that conclusion, huh?"

"Of course!, I see him every time we go out!" it's like her excitement is overloading, she's about to faint from excitement..

"You mean, you saw him outside of school once and you said he was nice?? What is this, a joke?"I said in disbelief.

She give me a stink eyes." Of course, not! What I meant to say was that I see his handsomeness and how yummy he is when he walks by. You really annoy me, sis. When the time came that you have a crush, I will tease and mock you without stopping, even if you beg."she pouted and said

"He's nice because he once saved me." I suddenly found myself staring at my sister, who's feeling an unending excitement.

" And what kind of trouble did you get into that he saved you, Aya?"My voice became somewhat serious.

She adjusted her seat because she knew my question was serious. And she also knew that I absolutely hate it when I find out she's in danger.

"Uhm because... Uh... "I could see on her face that she didn't want to confess the truth.

"Aya, you know I hate it when you keep secrets from me. If you don't tell me and I find out from someone else, I will tell Mom and Dad."i said with a threatening tone.

And she knew it was serious, and she also knew what will happen if our parents find's out.

"Oh, come on, sis."She pouted again.

I was about to say something when our driver interrupted me. So I ended up looking...

"We're here, Ma'am.. "

"Yesss!!"My sester whispered to herself, which I heard because, let's face it, her voice is really loud even when she's just whispering.

So I gave her a disapproving look..

"We're not finished yet. We'll talk again when we get home,." I said as I got out of the car..

I was about to walk away when I noticed my sister is still standing still like a statue beside the open door of our car where she got out of..

she was staring off into something, and when I follow her gaze, I realised she was so focused on the group of students gathered near the gate of our neighboring school..

Yes, the public school she mentioned while were inside the car talking, where her crush studies..

I approached my sister because she's almost drooling, and I didn't want that to happen.. As I got closer, I nudged her arm to get her attention.

"Aya! Stop drooling!"

She came to her senses and frantically wiped her lips with the handkerchief she pulled out from her bag..

When she realised she wasn't actually drooling, she faced me with a scowl and was stamping her foot like an annoyed child..

" You're really frustrating, sis! So ugh!"

"What are you even looking at that you forget your still alive?" I ask while slightly laughing,Pretending I don't know what she's staring,..

She's so ridiculous. She hasn't even replied, but she already looks as if she's swooning over someone and shes about to melt. Hahaha

" My crush is right in front, sis."She whispered, blushing, and then hit me on the arm.. And hit me again. It hurt! Huhuhu

" Where? There doesn't seem to be anyone handsome and yummy in front." I pretended to look at the group gathered outside, but the truth is I was looking at her.

"How did I manage that? She's looking in front, not at me."

She glanced at me and rolled her eyes..

"Just wait there and don't move!"she said sharply, then ran off to the school across the street..

" AYA!!! Be careful."That silly girl completely ignored me and hurriedly cross the street as if she wont die if she got hit by a car.

I'm about to die early because of her.

Not long after, she returned with some companions.

There were four men and one woman with her. When she comes back, her smile was so wide, as if she had seen an angel.

" Ahm, Liam, this is my sister Quira. Sis, this is Liam, my friend." In situations like this, when your sibling introduces their crush to you, your first instinct is to raise your eyebrow and scowl, but since that's not in my nature, my reaction was different.

I instinctively touched my thick, large glasses and adjusted them. "Hi! Nice to meet you," I replied casually and gently. I didn't extend my hand because even though I'm a nerd, I'm not overly friendly.

I glanced at my sister and the woman who was dressed in what looked like a swimsuit.

Ahm she might be poor; maybe they can't afford proper clothing. Next time I do charity, I will make sure to provide plenty of clothes. They might get hypothermia if they go out in winter dressed like that.

"And that's Mela and Dean, his friends." She pointed to the underdressed woman and the shortest man in their group.

Yes, he is short because I'm taller than him. He has a slightly flat nose, a round face, and slightly toned skin.

"And his brother Jake." She pointed out to a man next to the women who's name is Mela.

His height is average. Fair-skinned, with a beautiful face, slightly sharp jaw, a well-defined nose,he has a deep,alluring gaze and kissable lips. In short, he has the face of a womaniser.

"Nice to meet you Quira." said Jake as he approached me, extending his hand in front of me.

Although it is not in my nature to shake hands because I am not friendly, it is also not in my nature to be rude, so I accepted his hand for a handshake.

I was greatly surprised when, instead of a handshake, he took my hand to his lips and kissed the back of my palm. It felt like I was on fire as quickly withdrew my hand. I felt my cheek became hot, and i know I'm blushing so i looked down.

While my gaze was lowered, I heard giggles, so I looked up to see who it was.

It was Mela,she's chuckling with a mocking expression directed at me as she scanned me from head to toe.

"I thought all rich people had class!" she said with ridiculed, again looking me up and down before glancing at my sister. "Are you sure that's your sister?"

Because my sister is born with a feisty attitude and she knows I would just let that pass, she responded her.

"Do you know that those tacky t-shirts of my sister are even more expensive than your fake boobs? You should be thankful I even introduced you; you're not even my friend!"

" I'm just speaking the truth. It's like you two aren't siblings. You're beautiful and she's ugly. Right, Jake?" I glanced at Jake, and only now did I notice how she was wrapped around the guy's arm like a snake.

When she looked at me again, I felt embarrassed about my appearance, which has never happened before, so I hurriedly say my goodbye.

" I need to go. I might be late" I didn't wait for their answer and immediately turned my back on them and enter our school gate.
