Was it weird that I didn't feel anything?
A girl around my age had just kissed me on my cheek, but nothing. No emotions whatsoever. Now that I think about it, I've never felt any feelings toward girls my age like Serena or Flora. I looked towards mom and lady Beatrice. I didn't feel anything towards them even though they were the perfect age for me. Well, a little since I died much older. I just feel nothing. Yeah, they were beautiful, but not enough to make me fall in love with them.
I guess I won't feel anything since I didn't hit puberty yet. I might develop feelings later then. I guess Aaron doesn't feel anything towards Ami, but I'm not too fond of the sight of it, especially when she is older. What if she likes this kid more than me?
I noticed everyone staring at Flora and me. I guess it was a shock to them since they didn't expect that. I looked at Flora to see her face flushed red. I wonder if she already started crushing on me, but I didn't want to get ahead of myself. Even if she does have a crush, it was completely understandable since I was handsome. I guess this would be a problem in the future, but it was not like I mind it.
"You-" I turned to Fawn's voice and saw his fist coming in to punch, but for what? How was this my fault? I grabbed his hand right before it made an impact with my face and flipped him over. Fawn fell right onto his back and opened his mouth as he let out a painful groan. I heard another room full of gasps. It was mainly reflex. I meant to only just block his punch and that was all.
"Brother!" I saw Flora run to Fawn and kneeling beside him. She looked at me without any anger present on her face. Instead, there was an apologetic expression on her face. Lord Evander rushed over and checked if he was alright. He slowly helped Fawn up. Fawn shot me a glare. Well, now I know I wasn't going to make friends with him.
"Alex!" It was mom. She looked angry. She turned to Lady Beatrice. "I'm so so-"
Lady Beatrice and Lord Evander begin laughing, which all confused us. Fawn looked at his mother and father that was laughing even though he had just been flipped over. They were definitely a weird family.
"It's fine, plus it was Fawn's fault for starting it. I didn't think that he would get flipped over like that. That was a surprise." Lady Beatrice put a hand on mom's hand. "Besides, doesn't a friendship start with a fight?"
I don't think it might happen, but I wasn't going to say that out loud. I just hope we will be friends sooner or later since I didn't really like making enemies out of children. Throughout the whole time they stayed, Fawn wouldn't let Flora even come to me. It was like he had some kind of sensor whenever Flora is less than six feet from me. Ari hung out with Flora. She loved Flora. I wonder what was attracting Ari to Flora. She wasn't that chummy with me.
'Ari, are you having fun?'
'Yes, baba!' Talk about total defeat. I didn't feel like talking to her for the rest of the evening.
Ari was paired up with Flora and Arthur was paired up with Fawn. Everyone else was paired up and talking. I guess I had to find someone and the only one left was Aaron, the three-year-old. I looked around to see if I can find him. I didn't have to look much since he was beside Arthur. I might as well try. I raised up a hand with a smile and walked towards him. All hope dropped when I saw him picking his nose. He looked around to see if anyone was watching. I guess he missed me. He put 'it' into his mouth. I made eye-contact. He was staring at me. I was the first one to break it off and walk out of the room.
It was unbelievable I had a hard time talking to someone. People usually come to me and casually talk in my past life. I let out a sigh. I definitely felt abandoned. I wish I was back in my old world. I slapped my hands on my cheeks. I had to stop. I was happy here, even though it was hard. I had to learn how to just accept this and stop comparing it.
Should I just train?
I know it was rude to just ditch a guest, but I was tired. I didn't want to face Fawn or his weird sister complex.
"Alex!" It was mom. I went back to the living room that I decided to ditch. Mom smiled when she finally saw me. "They are going home. Let's walk them out."
That was fast. I just got out like a minute ago. I joined my family and walked right next to Arthur. When I reached the door, I decided to open it for them. The carriage was already there, waiting for them. Flora turned to me and gave Ari to me. I gave her a small smile that was returned with a bunch of awes from the parents. I can't believe them.
"Can I come tomorrow? Please?" I nodded my head in approval. I heard a small growl from Fawn. Was he an animal or something?
"Just make sure you come with Fawn." I gave him a smile. "I want to be friends."
Fawn looked taken back for a bit before he pouted. He let out a grumpy 'fine' and walked to the carriage along with Flora and Aaron.
"Sorry about that Alex. Fawn just admires Arthur so much." Lord Evander put a hand on my head and ruffled it, making my hair go everywhere. Good thing my hair was short.
"I don't mind. Like lady Beatrice said 'friendship usually starts with a fight'." Lord Evander gave me a smile.
"I'm glad you understand." I actually like the couple. We said our last good-byes and the family left.
