Arkwood

Chapter 3

I just stood there. That person looked so dead , lying on the grass. His muddled hair was the only feature of motionless body moving , thanks to the wind. His shirt even got a free dye from the smoke that was still hovering over the entrance of the door. I was just thinking about how much money he saved from buying a black shirt if he needed one.

" Jay , get up already please. "

Within a second , the smokey person started violently coughing , getting up with the support of his own hands. For a moment , it was like Sebastian was a pastor and rose his brother from the dead by just saying those few words. This is quality movie content.

" How many times have I told you to leave all the cooking to me? This is literally the third time this week you nearly burnt down the kitchen. "

" You wanted me to starve to death? I can't believe I actually have a heartless brother. "

" What do you- there's literally bread in the breadbin! "

Then there was an awkward silence.

Then the tall figure's gaze landed on me.

He was totally different. Instead of his eyes being full of warmth and sincerity , his eyes were just blank. Blank. Void of emotion. He definitely looked like he kidnapped a whole guinea pig and managed to get away with it. Instead of a warm smile , his brother casually gives , his lips were pressed into a thin line. He legit looked like the annoyed type of Sebastian , which I hope to never see.

" And what do we have here? Our next target?"

My eyes widened at the words that were just spoken by the figure in front me.

" Elissia , just ignore him , okay? "

Sebastian turned towards me with pleading eyes. The other pair of eyes looking at me couldn't be ignored that easily. So I started a staring contest.

" What? Why are you looking at me like that? You've never seen a boy before? Well , that would be funny because the organism you standing next to is called a boy. And you are called a girl. "

Jay furrowed his eyebrows which definitely spelled out ' I'm annoyed '. And yeah , thank you for the free biology lesson I've just received. It means a lot to me.

" No-no! I'm just-" I stopped , my eyes darting over to Sebastian , hoping he'd back me up.

" Jay , she didn't know I had a twin. So she's still taking all of the news in. She's still...surprised. And you? Why are you acting funny towards her? Of course she's seen a-"

" You've got a crush on her? "

Out of the blue. Out of the Milky Way Galaxy. Out of my blank Physics book.

What a way to go , Jay.

Sebastian stopped talking since he was interrupted. He then looked at me with shock still on his face then his eyes darting back to Jay's form.

" Why are you being so sour? We just started hanging out today. Please respect her. "

I internally wanted to hide behind Sebastian because of this human infront of us shooting daggers through his eyes . Like come on , I just came in pe-

" Hm. So you do like her. "

As much as I would love to hear Sebastian say those words , I wouldn't wanna hear it now. Especially through his half possessed brother , still shooting daggers through his eyes.

" You know what , Jay? You're being a prick. Why can't you just act normal for once?"

Sebastian spat out , looking annoyed for the first time.
