Georgina deeply sighed when she heard knocking at her bedroom's door while she was peacefully laying on her bed watching Vampire Diaries. Who dare interrupt in the middle of the action dammit!
"Come in! " , she shouted.
Matteo opened the door and stayed glued to the doorframe.
"Hey...", he said, smiling.
Her big brother was wearing a black italian suit , a white shirt ,black polished shoes and obviously a black bow tie. It was hard to admit (really hard actually) but he was handsome , and everybody seems to think that. When she goes out with him and meets someone she knows , it looks like the person in front of her is always a way too fascinated by Matteo to even acknowledge her. He went to her high school FIVE years ago and he is still more popular and loved than her sister who is currently studying there.
He is the type of student her teachers always make reference of. On the first time they met Georgina on their class list, they always have had the same annoying speech : "Oh! We're lucky this year! We have miss Georgina Diakite in our class! You're Matteo's little sister , aren't you? Did you know that he was my best student? Always concentrated but at the same time friendly , sociable , sporty and really active in the school life. We never had such a good person like him in this school since then. I hope you're as hard working and reliable as him miss Diakite , if it is the case , I would be really honored to have you as my student. How is he doing by the way? Did he choosed to go to university in science or business finally? " and blah blah blah.
A lot of girls Georgina never really got along with always wanted to know when does Matteo is going to come back from university and when does he is going to pick her up at school. Even gay guys she knows are obsessed by him, some random dude came to see her at her locker once to tell her how LUCKY she should feel to be able to see her big brother shirtless every time he is around. Or even Evan , her digital video partner , has like a billion photo montages of Matteo.
The school is in love with him, the WHOLE world is in love with him. And she couldn't blame them , because her brother is amazing , (almost) perfect as a person, a student , a best friend, a boyfriend... Understanding ,(excessively) caring, hardworking..The list was too long for real. For example , tonight he was all dressed up (and ready to break hearts) because he had to go at this gala at his university where all the hard working and active people in the school were rewarded and received prices and blah blah blah. How can't you like him?
The only thing that was bothering her , was that all the perfection distributed by Matteo only showed the patheticness of her own aura. Which was, to be honest, almost invisible.
"Hey", she answered.
"So?", he asked raising an eyebrow.
"So what?"
"Are you coming with us or not?"
"I'm not coming Matteo, I told you."she responded with exasperation.
He quit the door frame and came to sit down next to her in her bed. And sighed. Deeply.
"What?"
"You should come Little , it will be more fun if you're with us. And you can't let me alone with them all the week end , I'm not use to it anymore I think I'm gonna die after 2 hours" , he laughed.
After the gala, Matteo and their parents had planned to spend the Saturday and Sunday in Chicago at their aunt's. That was the main reason she didn't wanted to go with them : she would have the opportiny to stay alone at home all the week end long, which was quite rare.
"No. Sorry but I'm definitely not coming. And you know that it will be one of rare moments you spend alone with'em this year again. And they really need that I can tell. They barely see you because of the uni so I wouldn't add me in the picture to ruin your privacy ya know." , she said her eyes glued to her lap top' screen.
