CHAPTER 21
TOGETHER
Gavin
It's six thirty in the morning right now and were searching Kris and Lou because when we woke up, they are not around. The housemaids said that the two of them woke up early and Lou wants to help preparing our breakfast. I came out of the house to search them on the backyard where the pool area is located and it is overlooking onto the veranda. They are not there maybe because it's too early to swim and it's cold.
I contact the security guards guarding on the gate to know if they came out the gate yet they said that they didn't. I also look for them on the gazebo yet they aren't there also. There is one place left to look for them which is the garden. I went there then I saw our friends and groupmates keep looking on the benches in front of the garden. I immediately went to their direction to see clearly what's they looking at and then I saw the two talking with each other happily while sitting on the bench together.
At last, I saw my cousin Kris smile again. When we were young, he is a happy and bubbly kid but when we became a high student his attitude changed. He became emotionless and distant with everyone. Also, he become cold even at our own family and that's the reason why I transferred at their school.
I went to different school on high school and went to all boys' school that's why I can't forbear to blame myself for it. I keep on thinking if I didn't go to different school would it happen to him. Maybe this time were still best friend that's why I can't blame him to be closer to Gio. "Who would think that it's Lou who will make him smile again" Miks said with a teary eyed.
"From the very beginning, I know that she will the one to bring back his smile. His stare from her is different" I said while looking at them. "She isn't still our friend before, when I notice his stare at her is different yet I just shrugged it off" Gio said seriously. "I really like her to be our cousin-in-law from the start" my elder sister said with a giggle.
"Let's get back inside the house and act as if nothing happens. You didn't see anything guys, huh?" I said with a smile at them. When were already inside the house I called nay Minda to called the two to eat breakfast. Our group work is done early at lunch because the sketch of drawing in the cartolina is done already few days ago by Joseph. That's why he only does the digital art of our group work to be put on the PowerPoint presentation. Lou and I revise the group work done with our hard work and after that she made our presentation.
She decides on how we can present our presentation. Also, she gives us some pointers that can help us to present our presentation better because she wants us to attain a high grade so we can answer the questions of our prof and classmates smoothly. So, it's the reason why everyone is so glad to her groupmate because she will make sure that her members will attain high grade and she don't let her members down.
"Thank you very much Lou for giving us some pointers and to everything that you do for our group. You're a good leader because you don't let any of your member down" Joseph said with a smile. "Yeah, if we have a different leader for sure she will just let us down coz she will think of us an useless members and she will do the group work alone" Macy said with a glint of happiness in her eyes. "You don't have to thank me besides I didn't do it alone and our group work is done with our hard work" Lou said with a genuine smile.
"Actually, you've done a lot from this group besides almost half of our group work is done by you and as good leader you give us some pointers that can help us present smoothly and in able for us to understand our certain topic easily" Angelica said with a teary eyed. "It is done with the help of each and every one of us besides I can't do it alone. That's why you don't have to think that you've help a bit because the truth is it is a big help. Five group members with a great skills and intelligence have a much better work than a leader alone. It's like this combining every little pieces of paper and you can create a wonderful artwork. The sketches that you've done and the bright ideas that you suggest are much big help in able for us to finish our group task" Lou said with a bright smile.
We decided to swim on the pool before they go home. I ordered the housemaids to cook us a snacks. The ladies are changing clothes to wear a swimwear yet we didn't allow my elder sister, my cousin, and Lou to wear a two piece nor one piece. We didn't allow them because they are other boys here aside from our friends.
After fifteen minutes they came here and three are wearing t-shirts and shorts while the two ladies are wearing a two piece. While we wear board shorts and started to swim on the pool because at four o'clock in the afternoon they will go home. After almost an hour our snacks came so we sit on the lounger to eat the snacks.
I notice that two were together again siting on the same lounger while talking so happily. Kris is the one to get their snacks and we all knew that he never gets along with any woman. On the second thought Lou is very different the other women that he hates. Even though he treated coldly the people around him and emotionless, despite that he has a lot fans and admirers that I can't even understand.
When we were about to bring them home we use our van and Arch is the driver while I'm seating at the passenger seat. While the two are inseparable which are seating at the back having their own world. Even though we want to confront them yet we chose not to because we want them open up on us willingly.
