Invisible Lines Between Us

Prologue

Kairos 's POV

As I headed going out from our house, the gleaming Aella promptly directed her gaze towards me. She sits upon the wooden bench nestled within the confines of our verdant garden. She engages in this routine nearly every day, thus my lack of amazement is visible. Nearly every day, we embark on our joint journey, only to be seized by her obnoxious behavior, rendering me utterly unable to stop her. I simply allowed her to pursue whatever she wanted.

Furthermore, the bond between her family and mine is undeniably strong, making it utterly inappropriate for me to display any form of rudeness towards her.

 In spite of residing in close proximity to one another, our parents share a bond of friendship. Once a month, we partake in a delightful dinner with their family. We have spent several New Year's and Christmas holidays in their presence. 

In brief, there exists no means of escaping her clutches.

She rose from her chair and made her way towards me.

"Good Morning Kai!" With a smile, she greeted me. Once more, a smile graced her lips. Her smile was a constant source of irritation to me. I am filled with uncertainty about the root cause, yet it frustrates me greatly whenever I lay my eyes upon such a sight. I am feeling quite uncomfortable, I must admit.

"Good morning," I greeted her with a lightness in my voice. In an effort to display my lack of interest towards her existence.

Aella and I, two young souls, find ourselves in the final stages of our high school journey. Fate has brought us together, as we both attend the same school conveniently located near our houses. It is fortunate that she is not a part of my class, for if she were, I fear I would be driven to madness by her constant obnoxiousness.

However, when it comes to taking breaks and indulging in lunchtime, I consistently find myself in her presence, as she extends her happy invitation to accompany her wherever she may go. 

I cannot decline. I know rather than the reason, perhaps I truly do not desire to be considered rude to her for the sake of our family.

I grasped hold of my trusty bicycle and moved it away from the confines of our humble house, going forth onto the open broadens of the road. Instantly, as I traversed the path, my eyes beheld the sight of her bicycle, gracefully placed nearby.

We simply pedal our way to the school, for it is conveniently situated in close proximity to our current location.

"Kai, have you eaten breakfast?" Aella inquired of me as she grasped hold of her bicycle. I gazed upon her form, my eyes fixated on her silhouette from a distance.

"Yes, I have" I responded with lack of detail.

"Indeed, Hmm, I have not yet eaten any meal. Might we make a short stop to the convenience store, perchance?"  She uttered, her gaze fixed upon me, as though her eyes were pleading with my obedience.

I refrained from uttering a single word as I mounted my trusty bicycle.

We stopped at the closest and somewhat sufficient convenience store in this near by.I came to a halt in the vast expanse of the parking lot, my chest pounding with nervous.

Aella, too, came to a sudden stop, her eyes meeting mine in an instant. A radiant smile graced her lips, illuminating her face with a warmth that mirrored the sun's gentle rays.

"Thank you, Kai," she smiled sweetly at me. "You are truly generous towards me, showing genuine concern," she uttered, her delicate fingers tugging at the edge of my shirt.

"Go ahead, buy what you need to buy, I'll wait for you." I merely conveyed that to her. She is excessively attached.

With a determined gracefully, she entered a small convenience store. As I gaze upon her through the transparent pane of the shop, I catch sight of her engaged in the act of exploring the merchandise, contemplating her impending buying it.
