Chapter 6
I waited in my class alone until school ended. I didn’t see a single person around me nor in the class as if the teachers were too celebrating her victory, making me look like a pathetic character here. As the school ending bell rang, I went outside to wait for dad but he was late while brother was nowhere to be seen.
"He must be gone to meet her as she said", I thought, but I still waited. I waited for fifteen minutes but when I still didn’t find him I went to the place Freya told my brother to come to. I walked toward a narrow road which led to the back of the school, but the moment I saw both of them standing, I hid.
"So, why did you call me here?" the brother asked.
"Umm, can’t you guess why I called you here?" Freya said.
"I don’t, so hurry. Ayla must wait for me and she is scared of being alone", he said, making me feel relieved, but I didn’t know it was not for long.
"Ok let me tell you", she said.
"I fell in love with you the moment I saw you, so will you go out with me?" she said, making my heart beat faster, but some of my feelings saying brother won’t say yes. He is going to refuse her confession, but I still waited.
"Oh is that so? OK let’s go out", he said, making my tears come out.
What just happened? Brother, what have you done? You ruined everything, brother. I kept scolding him inside while a pair of hands let me hide my face in his arms. I didn’t know who it was. I don’t have any idea if there is someone who cares for me and has enough courage to pull me and hold me when I cry. I don’t know, but the way he is gripping me in his arms sure makes me feel safe. It’s warm.
But the moment I came to my sense I ran without looking at his face. I didn’t wait for dad or Jace but booked a cab and left for home. I don’t think anyone is even going to worry about me even if they see my dis shelved face. I don’t have any idea what the cab driver is thinking about, either. Is he too going to sympathize with me? Don’t know, but I kept looking outside when suddenly he asked.
"Did something happen to you?" he asked, while I looked at him with my teary eyes.
"Huh!"
