Wishing Wish

The Twins

“Wish, are you still not talking to me?!” Matt asked me sadly, glancing at me from time to time as he drove to my house.

Matt’s mom did not let us go until we had breakfast, so we headed home later than I anticipated. Aunt Lina talked like we’re not going to see each other again. After what she did for me, and the dress that she really gave, I would never not want to see her again. Really.

During the whole breakfast though, I did my best to ignore Matt. Even how much he tried to talk to me or get my attention. I just can’t get myself to.

I mean, I know it’s not his fault what happened last night. It’s mine. I’m the one who got all so not me and ‘attacked’ him. Just thinking about it makes me so ashamed of myself. This is Matt. The Matt. The guy I’ve been ogling for– Wait, what am I talking about. I’m not–! Augh! If it were Haru or Sora, I wouldn’t feel as worse.

“No!” I answered to the window of the passenger’s seat dully, refusing to even glance at him.

He sighed. “You're so moody, Wiwi. This morning you kept on ignoring me; not even a ‘Hi’ or a glance. And just as we left, you declared that you won’t ever talk to me again…makes me wonder if last ni–”

I whipped my head towards him so fast I thought I’m gonna break my neck, and glared at him fiercely. “Nothing happened last night!” I growled.

“But last nig–”

“NOTHING!!!”

“R-Right. Nothing…” He agreed as he reluctantly gave me a glance. I rolled my eyes at him and looked back outside the window again, angrily.

How dare he even mention about what happened last night when he chickened out himself! He should just forget that it ever happened, to save his face for chickening out…and to me for even starting it. Aaahhh!!! I’m the one who just wants to forget it the most already…

Next time I get sick, I’ll make sure I’m at home with Aunt Marry…Haru and Sora are okay since they’re already used to me; but definitely not Matt. I can’t be with Matt when I’ve got no control of myself. That’s just like throwing all of my pride through the window. It’s suicide!

“Wish?!...”

When I didn't give any sign of responding, as if I’d ever, he groaned and just kept quiet until we finally arrived.

I felt so relieved when I finally got out of the car. Although at the same time feeling nervous about something.

I shook my head. What could possibly go wrong today?! I mean, worst case scenario, Matt decides to hang around. But I could easily avoid him by saying that I want to get more rest.

Speaking of rest, maybe I’ve dragged this vacation too long?! I felt somehow guilty being the only one to get a proper summer vacation when Haru and Sora are dealing with Jackson’s case. I should call them when I get back to my room and ask how things are. There must be something I could do to help.

When I turned to get the paper bag where the dress was, Matt already got it.

I frowned at him and wanted to snap at him and take it back, but decided against it. Let him carry it if he wants, I’m still going to ignore him.

I led the way to the house, and was about to open the door, when someone already did from the inside. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw who it was. I was rooted in the spot and just stared at him in panic. “S-Sora?!...”

“We’ve been waiting for you.” He said hardly as he took my wrist and tried to pull me inside, but not before glaring at Matt.

“W-Wait Sora…I can explain…” I said desperately, trying to pull my wrist free.
