M-me? Then I realized my red eyes that I had forgotten about for almost a week. Things were too peaceful and no one cared about them
"A-a-AHH!!!!"the child screams and Trisha and Veronica enter the room quickly.
"What's the matter?"
I back away towards the door and exit. I'll leave this to Trisha and Veronica.
When I walk out, I'm greeted with King's (cute but) worried face.
"Is he ok?"
"Yeah, he freaked because of red eyes…"
"Oh…"
King comes and hugs me, "It's fine."
I smile sadly.
"Hey! What's up…"Justin jumps into the scene, "Oh, sorry to disturb you."
He backs away as King's face and my face turns red with embarrassment.
I quickly retract from the hug, "Ahem…"
Ryan walks out right behind Justin, "Hey! Oh…"
He pulls Justin and runs.
I grit my teeth, "I swear I'm gonna kill them one day…"
King hugs me from behind, "It's fine, ignore them."
It wouldn't be a surprise if we had mutual feelings, but I was still unclear if it was just King being nice.
"So, do you love me?"
King whispers in my ear, "Do you love me?"
I turn and look him right in the eye, "Yes"
King smiles, "I love you too."
I almost cry tears of joy until I hear a rustle in the bush.
I turn and spy a blur of yellow and red.
My face turns red with shame and hatred, "...you guys…"
I raise my fist.
"Whoa, whoa we didn't do it on purpose."
"Yeah, calm your girlfriend, Kyle."
"It's fine, they would find out sooner or later," King whispers in my ear.
"Yeah, but they didn't have to see tHaT."
He hesitates, "Fair enough."
And we start chasing Justin and Ryan. It's a joyous experience as King and I teamwork. We run around playfully until Veronica stops us forcefully.
"Well they were -" Justin tries to explain to Veronica, but I shut his mouth in time.
"...nothing, Nothing happened. Anyways, how's the boy?"
"Uh-I-i'm sorry," a small voice peeks out from behind Veronica.
"I-i didn't know it was you who saved me."
"It's fine. I'm not bothered," I respond.
"R-really?"
"Yes. If you still feel uncomfortable, then you can stay with Veronica, Trisha, Justin and Ryan."
Justin pops into the conversation, "Hello, little boy, what's your name?"
"Uh-Bryan…"
"Wow, what are you doing in the forest alone?"Ryan asks.
"Well… there was a big monster… and I ran… but it picked up and threw me…"
"Oh my god, are you ok?"
"Yep! Because Sister healed me!"
"Sister?"
Is that me? I wonder… Bryan comes up to me and hugs my leg.
"Thank you sister!"
"O-oh, your welcome…"
Trisha comes out from the house, " Food is ready!"
We all rush in excitedly for Veronica and Trisha's cooking.
"Mmm!" we savour the food in our mouths and finish every last bite.
