That morning Isabella woke up early after saying goodbye to her sister Sarah, the girl with one dimple was waiting for her two cousins outside the gate of her house.
"Why did Mr. Cho take so long?" She muttered slowly turning right and left trying to find the figure of the cold young man and the young man who had a stupid smile while occasionally sighing, once again for the umpteenth time she looked at her watch.
"It's already this hour I could be late" She mumbled again.
But not long after that the sound of someone pedaling a bicycle was heard approaching her, when she lifted her face to see who it was the bicycle stopped right in front of her and a young man with a gentle smile on his face extended his hand to Isabella.
"Let's go" Gabriel stretched out his hand which was then greeted by Isabella and the girl got up and stood on the bicycle footing located behind the bicycle. Isabella cautiously went up and tightly gripped Gabriel's shoulder.
"I didn't know that Mr. Cho was using a bicycle today, has it really been repaired?" asked Isabella, who was already riding on Gabriel's bicycle.
After that Gabriel began to pedal his bicycle, smiling slightly glanced at Isabella. "Actually, the bike was repaired a few weeks ago, I was just lazy to take it and wanted to sit next to you on the bus" Gabriel replied as he continued to pedal.
Isabella smiled and nodded in understanding, before long it sounded like the sound of wheels rubbing against each other trying to catch up to Gabriel and Isabella's bikes.
"Yoo~ Cold Prince and Sweet Princess~" A brown-haired youth with a stupid smile on his handsome face was next to Gabriel and Isabella.
"Kiki is it really hard for you to wear your skateboard to school today?" Kiki smiled gently at Isabella "Just wanted the princess~" He said while blinking one eye.
Gabriel who was pedaling and Kiki who was using his feet to push his skateboard, suddenly the brown haired youth reached out his hand to Isabella.
"Take my hand, princess~" Kiki said with a smile and stretched out his hand.
"Why?" Isabella asked, tilting her head. Gabriel then glanced at Kiki for a while and said "Just take Miss Kim" He said then focused back on the road ahead.
The girl just shrugged nonchalantly and welcomed Kiki's outstretched hand, then the brown-haired youth and the cold-faced youth both showed their grins and then suddenly the speed of the bicycle and the skateboard seemed to increase. Isabella glanced at the bicycle pedals and the skateboard. Neither of them were run manually, in other words Gabriel didn't pedal and Kiki didn't push the skateboard either.
"Whoa? But why are the bicycles and skateboards so fast?" Isabella asked confused.
Seeing Isabella's face and expression made the two youths smile and chuckle softly, Isabella who heard it became annoyed and then pouted.
"What the hell are you guys annoying you know" The little girl with dimples puffed her cheeks and her face turned red with embarrassment and anger. She forgot that her cousins' bicycles and skateboards were special because they modified them to run on batteries or electricity.
Gabriel smiled softly "For a moment Miss Kim?", while Kiki was still laughing softly at Isabella.
"How old are you? 60 years?" The brown-haired youth chuckled cheerfully and made Isabella annoyed, she released her hand for a moment to Kiki and then pinched the brown-haired youth's cheek.
"Ouch~ It hurts princess ~ Yes, I'm sorry." Isabella kept pinching Kiki's cheeks until they were red.
Gabriel's voice made them stop. "Watch out, be careful there are stairs in front, stop it." Isabella immediately released her pinch to Kiki. The unexpected shock made Isabella immediately hug Gabriel's neck for fear of falling.
While Gabriel and Kiki controlled their bicycles and skateboards to prevent them from falling, the three of them seemed to fly for a moment in the sky past the descending stairs and soon they landed on the asphalt and resumed their journey. For Gabriel and Kiki they were used to it while Isabella, who was not used to it, even though she had often done it with her two cousins, still had that fear. The dimpled girl still hugged Gabriel's neck tightly.
"Miss Kim even though I'm very happy with this but if it's too long I can't breathe" Gabriel choked a little slowly, Isabella who woke up immediately let go of her hug and held Gabriel's shoulder.
"I'm sorry Mr. Cho" Isabella lowered her face in shame. She was like that for a long time until an outstretched hand in his and a gentle stroke of her hair made him lift his face.
Currently Gabriel is holding her hand on his shoulder, while Kiki is smiling while gently stroking her hair. Isabella slowly smiled gently at the two cousins. After that the three of them continued their journey with Gabriel who was focused on looking ahead and Kiki and Isabella who were holding hands then Isabella also hugged Gabriel's neck with her other hand and smiled at him. Seeing her Gabriel also carved a soft smile on his face as well as Isabella's tighter grip on Kiki which made the young man smile cheerfully too.
On the way Isabella accidentally heard a kitten's voice, and she asked Gabriel and Kiki to stop for a moment.
"Wait I think I heard the sound of a kitten over there" Isabela pointed towards a narrow alley on the side of the road.
"We don't have time for . ." Before Kiki could finish his words, Isabella had already come down and ran towards the direction the voice came from. She walked slowly and as the sound got closer she saw a kitten crying and beside him she could see an older cat had died.
"Oh my God, what a pity you dear~ Is that your mother?" Isabella covered her mouth and her teary eyes were ready to cry at any moment or she had already cried.
The kitten approached Isabella and meowed at her, and looked at the older cat. Like asking for help for his mother.
"Oh dear~ I'm sorry but your mother is dead dear~" Isabella cried as she gently stroked the kitten. As if understanding Isabella's words, the kitten meowed even more and approached its mother. Seeing that made Isabella's tears flow even more.
Not long after that Gabriel and Kiki came to where Isabella was, "Wow, looks like we have to be funeral attendants and bury her" Kiki looked at the cat mother and glanced at Isabella and patted her head lightly.
"Don't worry princess we will bury her, and princess please take care of the kitten okay?" Hearing this, Isabella immediately nodded her head and immediately carried the kitten while Gabriel and Kiki brought the mother cat to a place where she could be buried. Thankfully, near a narrow alley not far from a park, they decided to bury her under a tree in the park.
After the mother cat was buried Isabella who was holding the kitten was still crying and hugged the kitten tighter. Gabriel and Kiki who had cleaned themselves up first approached Isabella.
"Miss Kim, don't cry anymore, we have buried the cat mother." Gabriel gently wiped the tears from Isabella's beautiful face. After Isabella stopped crying Kiki stepped forward in front of Isabella and then "Hey look at me princess! My nose is red like a roadside clown" Kiki showed his nose which was painted red "Oh look again I look like a clown grandfather~" Kiki continued like that until finally Isabella smiled slightly.
"Not funny Kiki stop it" Then Isabella took her handkerchief in her pocket and cleaned Kiki's nose. "Where did you actually get this red paint from?" Isabella laughed softly.
Then they decided to take the kitten to their school. "When it arrives, leave the kitten in the infirmary to Miss Emily and we'll pick it up when we get home from school." Gabriel started his bicycle again and Isabella who was beside him nodded slowly.
"Yes Mr Cho." Isabella hugged the sleeping kitten tightly in her arms.
Not long they arrived in front of their school gate, Isabella got off first then Gabriel also got off his bicycle and Kiki who got off his skateboard and carried it with one hand. For some reason the three of them became the center of attention of all the students who were there. Or maybe it was Gabriel and Kiki who became the center of their attention at least that's what Isabella thought. No wonder because the two cousins were so handsome, Isabella was so used to it.
"Let's take this cat to Miss Emily's place." Gabriel walked quietly to Isabella's left.
"Wow~ This kitten really feels comfortable in your arms, princess~" Said Kiki who walked beside Isabella's right while looking at the kitten sleeping in Isabella's arms.
"I guess so, he's so cute but it's a pity that he's alone." Said Isabella who then gently stroked the kitten in her arms.
"He's not alone" Gabriella's words made Isabella turn to him.
"What?" Isabella asked
"That's because he has you now~" Kiki said cheerfully and Gabriel nodded slowly. Hearing this, Isabella smiled at her cousins.
After leaving the kitten to Miss Emily, who will gladly take care of the kitten until they comes home from school, Isabella, Gabriel and Kiki feel relieved that they are quite worried if Miss Emily doesn't allow it but it turns out that Miss Emily has an angelic heart. The three of them decided to return to their class, but before that Gabriel and Kiki would take Isabella to her class first.
"I'll take you to the front of the class, okay?" Isabella was surprised to hear Gabriel's voice from beside she turned to Gabriel and saw Gabriel's handsome face smiling gently at her. Isabella could hear the voices of several girls who were mesmerized by his smile.
"Then I'll also take you princess~" Kiki put his arm around Isabella's shoulder and then blinked one eye and smiled widely and so sweetly at Isabella. And at that time, Isabella could hear several girls screaming hysterically at Kiki's smile.
'What the hell are these guys trying to do? They just smiled and so hysterically, weirdo' Isabella sighed tiredly but even so she still nodded as a sign of agreement that her two cousins could accompany her.
"But remember don't do anything bad - no, I'll be mad at you if you do something that makes me angry," Isabella said firmly to her two cousins.
Gabriel and Kiki glanced at each other briefly and nodded their heads.
"Hmm, ok"
"Alright princess~ I promise". Seeing that made Isabella smile and take Gabriel's hand and hold Kiki's hand that was wrapped around her shoulder.
"Okay then let's hurry before the bell rings" The three of them walked together and tied to each other until in front of Isabella's class.
