"Hey Hera are you ok?"

I looked at Kierra with a confused look while looking at the beautiful view outside of our school. "What do you mean?" But she just looked at me with a 'are you kidding me' look.

"What?!" I asked as she was looking at me like I'm about to rob someone.

I just plopped into my desk and flashbacks of his face keeps circling in my head. "Since the prom dance, you've been acting so weird". I mean I couldn't blame them, I was suddenly interested in finding out his identity that I totally became a weirdo.

"Come on Hera spill.the.tea". Said Malia who was moving her chair close to me. "What the– is this some kind of gossiping club? Come on move away". I stated as I push the two of them away from me.

"Ok ok no need to give me the sudden attitude".

"You know, your a quiet person but the next thing you know your attitude change".

I just rolled my eyes and thought about him again. It wasn't a while when our Biology Teacher entered the room causing the loud talking to stop.

"Open your text books to page 57".

"Finally class is finished". Malia exclaimed in excitement as she stretch out her arms and yawn, like that was literally felt like 2 hours.

"I cannot agree with you more". I followed. I do love studying but sometimes the way they teach nowadays are so boring, but suddenly i remembered something....

"Oh shit I was suppose to pick up Max today from school". I quickly said goodbye to Malia and Kierra and started to run. By the time I knew it I reached his school.

I went inside but I couldn't find him, I was starting to panic but I saw his figure in the playground. He was talking with some guy and they seem to be pretty happy.

As I got closer to them I could hear their conversation. "So where's your big sis"? The guy asks and patted his head as he smiled.

"I don't know, she should be here any minute now". I went to them and the guy looked at me, Max did the same and hugged me. "Why are you late slowpoke?" He mumbled in a cute way and I just messed up his hair.

The guy stood up and was about to leave when I grabbed his hand causing him to turn around and look at me.

"Wait! Do you wanna come to our house? I mean it's near hear". I offered and it took him a while to answer so Max also pleaded. "Please come, Hera's making delicious food today".

"Hera? That's a beautiful name". The guy mumbled under his breath tho I couldn't hear it at the sound of Max's excitement.

"What did you say something? I asked as he nodded his head no.

The guy ended up coming with us since Max made him say yes. When we got back I quickly changed my clothes, tie my hair up in a messy bun and started cleaning around the house.

I was starting to cook when the guy spoke. "So are you two the only ones living here?" He asked while I stir the stew I'm making and answered. "Yeah our parents are at a different state, they have work there so they couldn't come with us".

He just slowly nod his head and I looked at him again. I never got to catch his name. "Uhm thanks for looking after my brother for a bit". I said as I gave him a warm smile and he just smiled back.

"No worries". He simply replied. I was already preparing the stew I made, and I gave both of them a bowl each and poured the stew.

We were having a great time, eating while chatting. "Mhmm, your stew taste delicious. Your not only cute but you cook well". He complimented and I suddenly got flustered. I just smiled back and thanked him.

"Oh I'm glad that you liked it, well since it's just me and Max I couldn't help but try to be a good cook".

Max suddenly remembered something and got excited again. "Hey didn't you said that your house is near here, why don't you visit again sometime?" Max offered and I got speechless.

"I mean if Hera approves, I could drop by again". He asked permission, Max looked at me with baby eyes again. "I mean sure come visit us anytime". I smiled and got up and started getting the dirty dishes.

He also stood up, bid goodbye and was about to leave while Max went to his room to play games. I grabbed his hand and he looked at me again. "Uhm here". I said as I handed him the packed up stew I made. He gladly took it and smiled. "Thanks, so I guess I gotta go now". I also wave goodbye to him as he went to the door.

"Come back and visit us again sometime Mr.?"

"Call me Alejandro".
