The sun started to raise, the rays hit my face, and I slowly open my eyes and prompt myself up, I look around for my brother, and I remember that today is the day.
I laid back down and sleep.
Before sleep can knock me out, the door swung open loudly, I grumble and tightly wrap myself in the blanket. Then the cocoon world I made shook, shaking as if the globe's rotation became speedy like the wind it inhibits. It's irritating, I flip the blanket and burst out a shout,
"What!!?" I shouted angrily, with a mean stare and a pout
"What do mean what? School!!" my brother exclaimed, taking off an oil stained apron full of patches. "Eat first, I will join you on the first day"
"I don't wanna go" Doing a double roll on the blanket making it like a soft canon.
"You have to go, do you know how much your tuition fee is?" my brother said in front of the mirror brushing his fluffy dark hair.
I slowly stood up, yawn, and walk to the bathroom…
After bath, a set of clothes were placed on the bed, a white shirt with a yellow flower, then a jumper dress. Wearing the shirt and slip on a black cargo shorts. I run to the kitchen table where my brother is standing by the window, I went in closer and stare at the same direction he is facing, it was the garden, then he notice me.
"uhhh, why did you change it?" he asked
"Why shouldn't I?" I snicker and went to eat for breakfast
I was eating on scrambled eggs, then my brother suddenly brush my hair.
"I'm eating, my hair is fine" I shouted
"no, be at least presentable on the first day, you never been to the town" then his tone went serious "they can be a bit hard on people, especially those who are a bit quite different, as long as you follow the crowd you can survive the day, ok?" he continues to brush my fuzzy wuzzy wavy hair and braided it down.
I nod
He sat down across my seat and peel an orange, after a while there is a knock on the door.
I didn't bother moving because I'm busy chewing, but my brother stood and answer, I follow his with my eyes. The door open and a man taller than my brother appear, with a long sliver hair tied behind his back. I slowly hide behind my brother.
"Aiden, sup" my brother spoke
"Good morning Len" he spoke
I sense slight danger, I emerge from the back and shout
"You're at the wrong house, no one is Len here"
He just smile, and kneel down to my height "I apologize" then stood up and said "Good morning Galen" and looked at my smiling politely. But I know those smiles, it has something hidden behind it.
"Zia get your bag on the table" my brother said
I retreat into the house, but my eyes keep close on the man named Aiden, I know he's danger, a danger to brother, I pick up my bag and stood beside my brother's side.
"Will be out for a while, just keep everything in place and keep those with are outside at the um… outside" my brother spoke to the man named Aiden.
I still have my eyes on the man named Aiden, then my brother pushed me out of the house. He stop and said.
"Help yourself with anything" and continue moving on.
We went past the man named Aiden, but I turned my self and watching him carefully.
"oh come on" my brother can't push me anymore so he just carried me and grumbles "stop staring Zia it's just a friend"
I see, but he can be anyone but a friend. I keep my eye on him, the man named Aiden just stood outside waving until the house is out of sight.
