My bright star ~Xiaoether Story~

13.

Aether pov:

Monday came faster then expected and as this day came every drop of happiness I had in me was rapidly going away, just as fast as the time flew by. As I remembered we had history first thing in the morning, I felt like i wasnt prepared enough to present this in front of the class, next to Xiao, us two, in front of the students. I wasnt ready to show them our project, nor present it.

"I want to stay home" I told my sister, as she was putting on her shoes signaling me to get ready faster.

"Omg, stop complaining, we both know you cant wait to go to school and see your baby boy." she said, making a kissy face after her sentence.

"Lums, stop. We arent even toghether-" she cut me off

"Yet."

I gave her a gaze before i continued. "I really dont wanna go, cant I just call in sick?"

"Nope! Now put on your shoes and lets go." and so I did, both of us running towards the bus station right after Lumine locked the front door. The bus, a place where the dyied hair boys, or the guys i hang out at lunch with, werent in.

"Where are they?" I whispered to my sister, as we found two empty seats and sat in.

"Did you forget you boyyfriend has a car?" she said in my ear.

"Geez stop I can feel your nasty breath in my ear."

"Excuse me?!?" she told me. A long pause .. she then added " Youre the one who stinks."

".." I didnt say anything. instead I gave her a death stare and she chuckled, I smiled.

"Oh Aeth, you silly, a funny little goober." I gave her a small laugh, she then added. " I hope you will fall and he will be your prince and catch you" she whispered.

I blushed. "Can you stop?" I asked her.

"Fine baby boy, ... I bet youd like him to call-"

"Lumi!" I said looking at her my eyes widened at her words.

"Hihi, right, sorry!" she told me as the bus pulled over in front of the school and we both got up and out of the vehicle. If I'm being honest I wanted to bury myself in the ground. I wasnt ready to present this project.

"Boo!" I got scared by a blonde boy, wearing a black sweather with a pair of white jeans and a brown coat on top. To finish his fit, he had a pair of black sneakers and some small circular framed glasses.

"You starteled me !" I said. " I didnt even notice you behind me!" i said, trying to regain composure. He have me a small chuckle, followed by a smile as I added, "Glasses suit you well, you should wear them more often," I gave him a small smile back.

"Haha, thank you." He said smiling. "What have you been up to?"

"OK! Imma leave you two to it! I have to head to class Aeth! Good luck today! Break a leg." Lumi said as i saw her running towards her friends

"THANK YOU, GOOD LUCK TO YOU TOO!" I told her as she was already hugging her friend. She then pulled out of the hug, gave me a smile, followed by a wave from her friends. I waved back, then turned back to the blonde that awaited me pacientely.

"Im assuming that was your sister?" he asked. "She seems nice."

"Yep! She's a great sister. Oh right! I forgot to answer your question, im not up to anything important. What about you?"

"Me neither really." The boy said, his gaze softening.

"Well imma head to class, talk to you later?"

"Yeah, sure.."
