My first love

Chapter 5

"Sweety what happened to your skirt?" She asked.

"Nothing mum just some guy hit my tray and spilled my food on it. It's no big deal." I answered. Seriously...I don't even know why I just say that. Of course it is a big deal, the same guy also spilled my coffee on me.

" So you didn't eat anything. I'll fix you something then." I said

" No thanks mum, I ate something at Tasha's I'll just wait for dinner." I said. I kissed her on the cheek and shuffled my little brother's hair as I ran upstairs. He's only 8 years so he comes from school really early.

" Alex, what's that note you dropped on the steps?" My mom asked.

" It a letter from her boyfriend." Mike teased.

" Shut up Mike" I said and answered my mom, " It's just a note Tasha had left in my locker."

I got to my room and jumped onto the bed so tired. I took out the note and read it again. I felt I should just lay off the boundary and forgive him. I typed the number into my phone and texted him;

'I forgive you... I hope you know who it is' and pressed send.

I then took off my clothes and went to have a shower. When I came back, there was a text from Jake 'Thanks so much...See you tomorrow.'

See you tomorrow? Seriously, I'm not even longing to see him. I just forgave him not said it was a beginning of friendship. I decided not to text him back and went back downstairs. I snatched the remote from Mike and put my favorite program.

" Hey, can't you see I was watching," He complained.

"Go play your videogames in your room." I said

" Why can't you go watch the T.V in your room then?" He asked

"Because it doesn't have this program." I answered.

" Go talk to your boyfriend in you room then." He mocked.

"Shut up Mike or I'll smack you now. You know I don't have a boyfriend" I said.

" What about the guy who brought you home the other day and slept in your room. Or you think I didn't notice?" He said laughing.

" Come here," I said while pulling him to my lap and smacked his butt playfully as he laughed. " Next time I'll do it real hard" I said while continuing.

"Okay...I'll not say that again." He said and I let him go.

"Good...now go to your room I wanna watch this." I said.

" But seriously, who was he?" he asked.

" He's just a friend. I felt sick that night so he and Tasha brought me home." Whoa...did I just say 'just a friend'? I don't know what came over me.

"Ok then." He said and ran to his room.

It was dinner time just when my dad came back home. We sat at the dinner table and ate while chatting. Mike told us of how he finally got a good grade in his math test. After dinner all of us went to bed. When I just finished putting on my Pjs, I heard a knock on my door. When I opened it was Mike.

" What do you want?" I asked.

"Come go read me a story." He said.

"Go tell mom. I'm tired and I wanna watch a movie."

"Please Alex... I watched a scary movie and I'm scared. Can I stay here then?" He asked.

He never sleeps alone when he's scared so I just let him stay.

" Why didn't you wanna go sleep with mom and dad then?" I asked him as he got on my bed.

"I miss you. You barely stay home coz you're always with Tasha every time. I wanna spend more time with you." He said sadly.

" Awwww... I'm sorry mike. I didn't know that's what you wanted. I thought you were always tired of me." I replied.

"No. Why would I? You're always nice to me and you've never shouted at me or call me a bad name except when you're teasing me." He said.

I've never noticed all that until now.

" Ok then don't worry. You can sleep here if you want to. And I'm sorry for making you fell that way." I said as I hug him.

"Thanks sis, you're the best." He said.

Ohh... That was the sweetest thing I've ever been told.

" Did you brush your teeth" I asked as I walked to my bathroom.

"Yes" he shouted back.

When I came back he had put a kids movie that I also used to love when I was a kid.

"I used to like that movie when I was almost your age. Are you gonna watch it?" I asked.

"Can I?" he asked back.

" Sure..." I said as I got beside him.

He crawled to my side and put his head on my chest.

"What are you doing? I asked.

"Nothing" he chuckled.

We watched half the movie and he started feeling heavy.

"Mike move to the other side. You're hurting me." I said but he didn't move. I almost shook him when I saw that he was already sleeping.

I covered him and put off the lights and TV then also slept.
