Shock

 

Few days passed and Brandon was as weird as ever! He’s been bugging me for three days on how protective brother he was. I mean hello? Who won’t get irritated if you’ve been stalk by your brother or anyone in general and tell you what to do or not to do? He was being weird as ever! He’s been as protective as he can be. He drops me to class, told my friends to look after me and calls me now and then. Asking me where I am, who’s with me. If I mention some name of a guy, follow-up questions followed.

 

“Brandon’s weird. “ Violett told me as we were having a break in between morning classes. “He’s never been like that as I could remember.”

“Yeah, he’s been running around like Sky.” I affirmed. “Good thing now is that he stops bugging me.”

“Yeah, three days with him like that is totally weird.”

“More like my brother. He’s like that.” Mimi said, butting in to our discussion. “He’s like an NBI agent or something. Every time he sees me talking to some guy, he would threat each one of them.”

“Really?” I asked, quite not surprise since my brothers are like that to me.

“A total moron if I can say. The last time I dated Lucas, he volunteered to be my chaperon which was not necessary. He forced my dad for it! Giving him lame excuses until my mom and dad agree on it!” Mimi complains, totally pissed. I was about to add something on what she said when someone called someone’s name.

 

“Maria Isabella Carita Elena James-Johnson!” Caleb shouted on our side.

“Who is he calling?” I asked Violett and Mimi. Mimi stands up and turn to Caleb.

“How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that?!?” Mimi said pissed walking near to Caleb.

“How many times do I have to tell you that you’re not going to have a date with anyone?” Caleb replied back angrily.

“The two of you know each other?” I asked curiously as I stand up.

“He’s the moron I’m talking about earlier.” Mimi replied to my question, still eyes locked up to Caleb.

“What!?!” I can’t believe this! The freak is Mimi’s brother! HER big brother? How can this be? No one mention this to me? Can someone orient me?

 

We went back to classes as the bell ring. I open up the brother-sister issue as we walked through the hallway.

“You didn’t tell me Caleb’s your brother.” I said nodding and embarrassed. “I keep on yelling and complaining about him in front of you and you were just quiet.”

“It’s nothing.” Mimi said. “I mean, not that I don’t care…”

“Maria Isabella Carita Elena?”

“That’s my name. Yeah, it’s lame.” Mimi said, obviously, she’s pissed.

“No it’s not!” I said, being honest. Violett was just quiet when I open that up. “Why Maria Isabella Carita Elena? Why is Caleb, well... uhmm...Caleb?”

“Yeah, more like saying Caleb’s name is cool and hip while mine is an old age?” Mimi said, pissed of course.

“Your name is not an old age!” I defend. “It’s… unique. Uhmm…What’s the story?”

“Simple, my grandparents was upset on Mom and Dad’s decision in naming Caleb as Caleb without consulting them. So, when I was born, my mom and dad grab the opportunity to let my grandparents decide to name me.”

“So, it’s like you took the burden?” I asked.

“Exactly!” Mimi exclaimed. “Well, not actually a burden, but I got to be the one who would suffer and stuff.”

Okay, so, like it or not, Mimi is Caleb’s sister and Caleb is Mimi’s brother. Either way I look at it, it points to one conclusion: They’re siblings! That’s reality, and again, like it or not, I should accept that.

 

On a moment of time, Brandon finally stops on bugging me and that he and Jacob are cool now. That’s a good start.

 

On the contrary to this unexpected and good news, Weeks had passed and everything went worse. Well, I’m quite exaggerating. Not really worse but hectic. Examinations is up and there are so many requirements that I have to take care of. Starting with Biology wherein I have to compete for the science fair. English is on making short story, History is on Mayan’s civilization, Spanish Oral Quiz, Math quiz bowl and the soccer team is getting ready for the inter-school soccer competition. We’ve won on our first game.

 

“I am so tired!” I said yawning. “I am so sleepy.”

“You haven’t sleep in 48 hours if I’m not mistaken.” Brandon complained, “Are you really that busy?”

“Got so many things to do.” I said as I go back to work. We were at the gazebo at school. Brandon offer to help me in research for my science fair.

 

“Oh-My-God!” I hear someone spelled each word. But I don’t know who was talking. “Kyle!” okay, that’s an alarm. I look up and saw Mimi.

“Hey Mimi, what can I do for you?” I asked, tired.

“I can’t believe what I’m seeing!” Mimi said walking toward us. Brandon look at her as she was about to come near us. She’s with Joanna, Violett and Derek. “Kyla, do you know this guy?”

“Of course. He’s Brandon and he’s my twin brother.” I said with curiosity. “Why?”

“He’s the Math Classmate I’m talking about!”

“She’s the Math student I’m going to tutor at!” Mimi and Brandon exclaim at the same time.

“Oh!” that’s the only word I could say right now. This is a surprise. The guy Mimi always gets irritated at is my brother who is also irritated at Mimi. I’m in between.

“Kyla! Don’t you have anything to say rather than ‘Oh!’?” Mimi said, disappointed at me.

“She doesn’t have to say anything because she’s not interested to this argument.” Brandon butts in.

“I’m not talking to you!” Mimi said to Brandon, still irritated at him. “If only I knew something about this, I can easily keep my distance from you.” She said to me. “I mean... I...”

“I don’t know what to say. I’m sorry Mimi but it’s not that big deal for me right now as how you think it is.” I said. I get my things and walked away from them. I blew her off but I got my reasons. And that reason is that I’m tired and I am busy. With this hectic, I have no time for dramas and arguments.

A/N: I don’t actually know what to say because I’ve been on hiatus and I did not know at least some people appreciate my writing. Like I’ve said during the description (I think), I just transferred this work from my mibba account and this kinda suck and I don’t feel like revamping. I apologize for this one, I wrote it when I was still young (like too young!).

Though, if you have an AFF account, feel free to read my other works there. Thanks~
