Small Talk

Days passed and now they give each other a wierd sassy, their kind of smile when they pass each other. They don't talk much but here and there they have their chit chats

Catherine PoV.

It was time for me to choose my stream for the next year. I was sure of one thing that I will never take science. To know about streams Andrew suggested to talk to Jeffrey.

We talked about it and I understood the core subjects are pretty hard and the supplementary subject he took needed understanding more than grasping.
I was a little happy to have a conversation with him.

Jeffrey PoV.

Andrew's sister had talked to me on what all streams are there. I forgot her name but never mind, she was talking in a very low voice as if she was nervous. I told her what I know. It felt like she was mt little sister who's asking her brother  advice for the first time.

Months passed they continued to give each other wierd smiles.

Jeffrey PoV.

She once gave me shock on how she never called me by my name yet clearly asked me what Joe (my elder brother) was doing. Its turns out my elder brother and her elder sister are batch mates.
Its funny how we never really introduced ourselves.

I smiled to myself seeing Jeffrey's cute shocked reaction because I knew his brother's name

Jeffery is my crush and I admit it, but sometimes I feel a little more than crush like... love. I know I shouldn't but it just feels like he has stolen my heart for little reasons like maintaining friendship, smiling face, good in studies and sports, loves music even though we don't have similar interests, his way of attracting people, loving sleep, respecting but also being friendly to teachers.

A million tiny things that you have never known
It all gets tangled up inside
Tell you
A million little reasons I'm falling for your eyes
I just want to be where you are

But it hurts me every time when he calls me his sister with the justification that I am Andrew's sister therefore his too. I am not supposed to be sad but honestly it hurts being sister- zoned by someone you like/love more than they think they know.

I call him Brother out of respect that he is elder  but him calling me sister doesn't justify the feelings my heart holds for him.

A/N- Its my  first time writing so it contains its own flaws but please note that:
the emotions of Catherine and her side of the story are raw and true
but
Jeffrey's is purely fictional
