The next day, a Tuesday morning. I was just about to leave my dorm to head to my class when I heard a ring coming from my phone. I checked it and saw my younger brother calling me.
Elijah

I answered the phone and heard my brother's gentle voice. "Hi Eve! Are you in class?" Elijah asked. "Hi Elijah. No, I was just about to head to class." I said. "Great! So listen, after your last class ends give me a call so we can hang out in your school." Elijah said. "Huh? You're gonna visit me here in school today after my last class?" I asked. "Yep! Well I gotta go now bye!" Elijah said. "What- Uh- okay bye!" I said. "Alright. So after my last class I'll hang out with Elijah." I thought. I left my dorm and went to my class and took a seat.
A few hours later. I was so bored in class and all I could think about was my younger brother Elijah visiting me. I haven't seen him in a while and I was so excited. Elijah is a handsome 17 year old boy. I was only older than him by a month. He's really fun to hang out with. "Alright class, it's time for your test. Keep all your books and sit properly." The teacher suddenly said. "Shoot! I forgot to study for the test! I'm sure to fail this test." I thought while panicking.
Finally after hours, my last class finished. I went back to my dorm and opened my phone. I called my brother and he immediately picked up. "Hi Eve! Sooo your last class is done now?" Elijah asked. "Yep, you can come visit me now." I said. "Okay! So your school is at ******* *********** **** ***** right?" Elijah asked. "Yeah, I'll be waiting on the entrance of the school." I said. "Alright. I'm gonna come now. I'll end this call, bye!" Elijah said. "Okay, bye." I said. Then he hung up the call. I then changed my clothes, ate a few biscuits and went towards the entrance.
A few minutes later he came by taking a bus. I smiled then ran towards him and hugged him. He was a bit taller than me so my head was on his shoulder. He hugged me back and said "Hey Eve! It's been a while since I last saw you." Elijah said. I stopped hugging him, took a step back and said "Yeah, wanna walk on the park?" I asked him. "Sure" he said. As we were walking on the park we talked about lots of things. Things like what's happening on school, if everything was okay, his girlfriend, his friends, my grades and more. As we were walking we saw Samuel, Jade, May, Allen and Polly sitting on a bench talking. They all saw us and for a moment there was just silence until Samuel broke it by saying "Hi Evelyn, who is he?" "Oh he's Elijah, he's my-" I said until Elijah cut me off and said "Friend, I'm her friend" Elijah then touched my shoulder smiling.
He then whispered "Pssst, just play along with it. We'll soon say we're siblings, let's just watch their reactions." "uh okay" I whispered back. "Oh, nice to meet you Elijah. My name is Samuel." Samuel said. The rest then introduced themselves and Elijah said "Cool names. Nice to meet all of you. Now, Evelyn and I are gonna continue our walk. See ya!" Elijah said then grabbed my hand and walked away.
