Our beloved youth

8: She is crazy

Elina stopped running and spoke, "Thank God!! I thought I had to give money to him~" She then tried to wipe her sweat but realized that she had his helmet in her hand.

"Freak!! What am I going to do with it!?" She groaned, wiping her sweat as she started walking, thinking about what to do.

She was walking but suddenly stopped, her eyes widening. "No no no!!! WHY HIM??" She cried as she saw someone way too familiar standing a few feet away from her.

"One problem isn't over and another arises!!" She continued. "I will have to escape from Kevin at any cost," she told herself. She was about to think of a plan, but her eyes went to the helmet in her hand.

I hope he doesn't look at me!!

She tried to pass by him unnoticed, but then her packet of batteries fell.

Wrong timing.

"Excuse me, miss," Kevin said as he handed her the packet that fell. Elina tried to get a hold of it and finally caught it.

"Thank you," Elina said and was about to leave but slipped and fell.

Gladly I have my helmet on...

Kevin forwarded his hand to help her. Elina widened her eyes inside the helmet, already sweating from wearing it.

"No no, it is okay!!" She said, pushing his hand away and standing up quickly before running off.

Kevin just stood there, looking towards her as she ran away. He squinted his eyes, looking at her weirdly, but then remembered something.

"Her voice....? Is she that girl from school?" he mumbled, thinking, but then immediately shook his head. "Why would I even think of her?! But this girl is as crazy as that girl; she's wearing a helmet and running," he shook his head, looking at her weirdly before walking away.

Elina soon arrived home, exhausted and drenched in sweat.

"I am home~," she said lazily while placing the helmet on the table and heading to her room.

She saw her sister already home and reading something. She felt chills as she entered the room and looked up to see the AC working. Her jaw dropped.

"What the hell!!!! How is the AC working!?" Elina shouted, throwing the batteries on the bed.

Her sister just put her book down and looked at her uninterestedly. "Why are you shouting in my ears??"

Elina came near the AC, waving her hands in the cool air, then faced Sia. "How come it's working? It didn't have any batteries, right??"

Sia raised both her brows, speaking in an obvious tone. "Yeah, it didn't, so I put batteries in it."

"But Mom said that Dad forgot to bring batteries, right?" Elina questioned.

"Oh!! That... Yes, he had forgotten the batteries, but I had an extra pair on my shelf, so I used them." Sia indulged back into her book.

Listening to this, Elina faked a cry as she lay on the bed, half her body hanging off.

"Elina, freshen up first!! You stink like hell," Sia said, closing her book and holding her nose, pushing Elina away. Elina frowned.

"Am I?" She asked, smelling herself and turning her face away as she realized how bad she stank.

"Hell!!! I stink like your socks," Elina said, pretending to puke. Sia gasped, throwing a cushion at Elina, who laughed and went to clean herself.
