My New Life

CHAPTER 26

AMMELIAS POV

"Melly!" Luke called when I reached the bottom of the stairs after unpacking all my clothes.

"Nice to see you Luke." I smiled brightly when I met his eyes and started hurrying towards him.

"You too. It's been a while." He said hugging me which startled me but I hugged him back anyway.

'Don't the people in the medieval era feel all bashful once their hugged by someone of the opposite gender?' I tried to recall. 'Oh well, this isn't the medieval era anyway since there's superpowers and familiars here.'

"Let us go?" Caspian asked while offering me his arm and smiled threateningly at Luke who just looks like nothing happened.

"Sure." I said while accepting it.

Luke, Caspian, my two brothers Trisia and I started walking to wherever we are walking to.

"Where are we headed?" I asked.

We're going to the... canteen was it? Nicholas asked Luke.

The two had gotten closer through the years whenever Luke visits our house.

"Yes." He answered excitedly. "And I'm telling you, that place is awesome! It's like a café but it's much more awesome, you know. It's just... awesome."

"Yes, I know it's awesome." Nicholas answered back tiredly.

'Heh, his vocabulary is awesome.' I snickered to myself.'

Luke turned to look at the snicker sound I made.

"Hey." He nudged Nicholas. "She just insulted me didn't she?" He glared at me playfully.

"Hm? I have no idea what you're talking about." I replied innocently then turned my head to talk to Trisia.

"Hey, Trisia, where did you go?" I asked when I saw her walking towards me when she was supposed to be beside me.

"Oh, I just greeted some people I know." She shrugged.

"Nice to meet you. I am Lukas Davis." Luke greeted once Trisia went back beside me.

"Nice to meet you too. I am Trisia Mountine Sir Lukas." Trisia said looking a bit intimidated.

"No need for formalities. You can call me Lukas. A friend of Melly is someone we will welcome with open hands." He said with a proud smile as if he's so proud to what he just said.

"Thank you Lukas. You may call me Trisia as well." She replied still looking a bit uncomfortable but more relaxed than how she was before.

"How was your room Mel?" Brother Tony asked appearing behind Trisia and I.

"It was beautiful." I answered back with a big smile.

"Heh, Melly can finally get her exercise whenever she climbs the stairs to go to her room." Luke teased. "All she do is read books and eat sweets through the years. It makes me wonder why she isn't fat yet."

'Is he calling me lazy?'

"Lukas." I started with a bright smile but with a threatening gaze. "Would you shut it. The only thing that is probably running around your head is how to make more muscles. You probably just stab or slice all your books with your sword."

He gasped, "Hey, muscles are much cooler than brains so I focus on it more."

"Huh? Why do you say that?" I asked.

"Because you get more attention if you look awesome." He smirked proudly as he flexed his muscles.

I stared at him, gobsmacked. "Don't you know, a guy filled with muscles but doesn't have a brain is just totally unattractive." I told him.
