Suddenly Beloved

Ch2: fast paced yeah

Penelope's POV

I was cooking breakfast as usual, the rice is cooked and in just a minute the egg and sardine is finished, I looked at the time and sighed, Didi's gonna be late, and it's the first day of the first semester of G11, I know how much Didi value her first impressions.

But I can't blame my sister, she suffered a lot of bullying from the neighbor kids just from having no mother or father.

'and I know I can never fulfill these roles for her...'

"Dianne! You brat wake up! Don't you have classes today?"
I called gently to wake her up.

I sighed once again and put what I cooked in a plate when suddenly my younger sister came to me running from upstairs and suddenly hugged me tight, her face full of tears.
"Dianne don't run around-- why are you crying?"

Oh no what happened?

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Didn't I teel you to stop watching horror movies before you sleep?"

'If it's them neighbour kids again, Im gonna write a strongly worded letter to their moms and get their asses spanked.' I thought to myself as I wile her tears.

"I love you sis." She said out of nowhere, my heart felt touched, she hadn't said those words since she's a little toddler, I nearly cried, but still it worries me, did something happen?
"You want something don't you? Or did you do something again and you want me to clean up your mess?"

She shook her head and continued hugging me, so I took out my wallet and gave a hundred pesos as her pocket money.
"Here. Go buy some Ice cream."

Suddenly she cried harder, and I kinda panicked, this is not her usual pouting, my Didi is actually crying. So I took out more and gave it to her. I was actually gonna buy some new underwear cuz it's full of holes now that it's breezy, but no worries, my payday is near.

What's important is for my little sister to stop crying, what if she get dehydrated from crying all the water from her body? ....Medicine is expensive nowadays.

My sister looked at me with determination and I don't know why, just that she looked like a protagonist in those second chance at life dramas.

....

Dianne realised from her sister's words that today is the first day of class as a Grade 11 and it must mean she's 16 years old right now.

Dianne cringed at her memories, at this age she should already be able to help her sister, but nope what she did was dating delinquents and going to places, it's not as if she's an achiever, nope, she was barely hanging with a GPA of 81, once again Dianne felt ashamed.

"Sis, how about you quit one of your jobs?" The returner said while Penelope's drinking water, she frowned and looked at Dianne with a questioning look.

"Can't do, we need money to pay them bills girl, I also have to save money for your college."

"I can work too! I'm at the age where I can find jobs." Dianne defensively said, her sister died from overwork and it's because of her, her sister had to juggle 3 jobs to sustain their needs.

"And get overworked for minimum wage? No is a no, young lady, you want to help? Then better your grades get a scholarship or something."
Penelope said sharply pointing the spoon at her, Dianne quiets down and pout.

Indeed she's too impulsive, there are other ways to earn money more efficiently.

Penelope ate her food while staring at the pouting Dianne, she playfully rolls her eyes and asked, "Why suddenly anyway?"

"I had a bad dream, you died from overworking and it's all my fault."
'and I left you behind' Dianne guiltily said in her heart.

Seeing the heartbroken look on her Didi's face, Penelope was confused whether to laugh or cry.
"Is this why you came to me crying?"

Dianne nodded.

Penelope sighed and rubs Dianne's head, She guessed that it's time to take care of herself, because if she collapsed what would happen to Dianne?
"I'll send my resignation paper today, you're right I need to take care of my body too."

Dianne beams like the sun and smiled happily at her sister, "Thank you sis!"

Penelope laughed and the two ate their breakfast.

...

Ever since that promise Dianne has worked hard to better herself, she now actively listens to her classes, does her best at every performance at school, ace every fucking test and exams, she even started a little business.

Teenagers her age tend to be more inclined to do things they want at the moment and procrastinate on their school works that's why Dianne offers to do their projects for them for some cash, anyway Dianne even earned 600 pesos in one go so the moral of the story is if you're lazy but have money in school you'll still do well because someone will do it for you, but if you're lazy AND broke, ha... May god save you.

Dianne intended to give her earnings to her sister, but Penelope refused, so she bought new underwear for her sis because she knows how much her sis needs it and throws away the torn panties so her sister have no choice but to accept her gift, she also used the money she earned from other side jobs to sneakily pay the electric bill and water bill sometimes when she have enough.

One of her side jobs is tutoring languages, like Nihongo, Spanish, Italian, Hindi, French, Tamil, and Russian, among the languages she can speak those are what she's most fluent with. The languages she most asked to tutor for is Nihongo, because of her first client which was her neighbor's granddaughter and now is in Japan for her job, it took her lying about having a Japanese father who travels a lot and died to a plane crash for them to bite.

Penelope also started glowing up, probably because she can now rest, and get massaged by Dianne a every night can take care of her body together, the Langres sisters even exercise together in the morning, and also how Dianne was now helping financially and doing chores around the house.

"Are you sure this side jobs of yours are not affecting your academics? You tell me not to overwork but then you overwork yourself..." Penelope said over dinner one time, Dianne assured her and showed her older sister her report card, Penelope heard the neighborhood teacher complimenting her sister once and she is amazed by the grades she saw, all of the where not less than 95.

Long story short, Dianne had her nose up in the sky that night, beaming at the compliments Penelope throws at her.
