Brave enough

Cap. 6: Lost girls

I wake up nearly at noon, crap we came back too late. "can we get out of the bed my dear body?" "nope" "we have tons of homework to do" "I know" "maybe 5 minutes more"

I get out of the bed and make my way to the kitchen. Oh no, my mother is already cooking lunch...wait who is she talking to? NO, not him, not today.

Mom: "Good morning, look who came to spend the weekend with us!"

Leo: "Hey little one!"

I hate when he calls me that way

Me: "Leo"

I reply coldly

Leo: "Mom told me a friend of yours brought you to the prom yesterday"

Me: "Yeah"

Leo: "But you don't have friends except for Susan, so who was him?"

Me: "A new one I think mom told you about the drama laboratory"

Leo: "Yeah, she told me, and how is drama? Are you having fun?"

Me: "Oh stop it, if you want the ps5 for Christmas you have to lick another ass"

Leo: "Well I tried"

Me: "Good boy!"

Mom: "Stop it!"

She tries to interrupt us

Mom: "Time for lunch"

Me: "Fine let me change my clothes"

Drin. Who's at the door now? I listen Leo is going to check. Mmmm...male. I can't tell what they are saying. I put my head outside my bedroom...hoodie...forgot...fuck is Nik! I run downstair to take him out of Leo's clutches.

Me: "Thanks Leo you can go"

Leo: "So it's him little one?"

Me: "Fuck off Leo, and go to the kitchen to help mum, maybe she will agree for the ps5"

Leo: "Fine no need to growl so lowdly"

Leo walks back to the kitchen still eyeing us. I hate him!

Nik: "Hem you forgot your hoodie yesterday"

Me: "Thank you, you didn't have to come"

Nik: "No worries really"

Gosh this is so awkward, especially because Leo can get the worst side of me out

Mom: "...you must be the guy that invited her at the prom, nice to meet you"

Where the fuck are you coming from??

Me: "Yeah he is and he is also going home now he brought back the hoodie I forgot at his place"

Nik: "Nice to meet you Mrs, yeah I was going home now, hem I'll text you later"

Me: "Fine, *whispering*escape now"

Mom: "Are you sure you don't want to remain for lunch?"

Nik: "Oh no thank you madam, I have lots of homework to do"

Phew Nik's gone.

Mom: "He is nice, and polite from what I see"

Me: "Yeah...gotta wash my hands"

I go back to my room throwing the hoodie in my bed. A blue-green envelope slides out of the pocket as the hoodie lands on my bed. It must be from Nik. I take the envelope and carefully open it. Two tickets pop out: circus. A little paper with the tickets.

Hope you'll say yes, good afternoon milady

Stop smiling! I have to go to lunch stop it or they will tell you're hiding something.

Mom: "So how did you meet...what's his name?"

Leo: "Nik"

Oh, shut the fuck up!

Me: "Drama laboratory, I thought you knew already"

Leo: "No she didn't know, perhaps I'm still the favourite one"

Mom: "I don't have a favourite son! Leo, apologize to you sister"

Hihihihihihi

Leo: "Sorry little one..."

Me: "Oh, the ice prince showing a warm side I'm impressed!"

Leo: "We were talking about Nik, weren't we?"

You are the worst!

Mom: "Yeah, so how did he asked you to go to the prom?"

Drin drin drin drin drin. Thanks phone!

Me: "Wait it's Susan I have to answer"

Mom: "Oh finally!"

I watch the phone just a second: breath in breath out. Clik.

Me: "Hey Su"

Susan: "Hey...hem would you like to meet in an hour at the park?"

Me: "Sure, are you ok?"

Susan: "Yup, I think we have to talk"

Me: "I know, see you later"

I hung up watching the screen, I was waiting so hard for this moment! Mmm...I'm far enough to send a message to Nik without being noticed.

"Sir Nik, milady found your letter. She is glad to let you know she agrees coming with you next week"

Drin. Oh, so fast

"Sir Nik thanks milady looking forward for their next date, treats"

He is so nice.

I'm so glad she finally wants to talk. I run out of my house, heading to the park. In the end everything went alright dear brain! Let's put on some music. Same album obv: "Lost girl" as I felt without Susy.

I can see her on our bench with her sunglasses and a hood on her head: she is surely in hungover.

Me: "Hey Susy"

Susan: "Hey you"

Me: "Do you want to talk?"

Susan: "Yeah...I have to apologize: you were right about Chris and everything"

Me: "...I tried to warn you"

Susan: "I know I was blind. You were always there to help me and guide me through the wrong choices of my life. Instead, I let my stubbornness win and I almost got raped by that asshole...do you think we can start again?"

Me: "Sure, thank you"

Susan: "No thank you to save me, I think I'll never catch up"

Me: "Don't worry, you're still my sis"

I can tell she is happy behind her glasses

Susan: "So do you think you will come to the drama laboratory again?"

Me: "Maybe..."

Susan: "Good, so I can make you approve the guy I want to date!"

Me: "Uwu, tell me about him"

Susan: "I know you will kill me but he is Chris's brother. He is totally different from him tall, brown curls, brown eyes, super kind"

Woah so close to Nik

Susan: "Oh wait maybe you know him you worked with him last time"

No Susan, NO!

Susan: "Nik! I like him a lot!"

Me: "Oh yes I remember him"

FUCK!
