Chapter 4: Normal

*Jasmin's POV*

While we are resting in our room, I decided to get down and help Sara to anything I can help.

"Where are you going?" Dylyn asked when she noticed me.

"I'm just... I'll just check Sara." I quickly go out our room because I don't want to hear them complaining about how kind I am. I'm really not that kind tho, I just want to help cause we already made enough bother to them.

While I was walking I'm studying every detail of the house's design. Every part of it is covered in vintage style carve.

"Wow, this so detailed." I said to myself while tracing my fingers on it.

"I'm glad you like it." Someone said and I got surprised. I didn't hear anyone approached me.

When I looked who's the one talking, a handsome guy is in front of me. It's Elliot.

"A-h.. hello." Is all I can say caused I'm still surprised.

"Oh. Sorry if I surprised you." He said and worry is painted in his face.

"N-no it's okay. I just didn't noticed you were there." I said shaking my hand gesturing a "no"

"So.. what brought you here? Are you bored in your room?"

"Huh? No, of course no. I'm just wondering if I can help your mother with the cooking? I'm not a good cook tho but I can help in slicing ingredients." I said explaining myself.

"She'll love that." He said giving me a smile.

"I hope so."

"Then let me escort you to her. She's in the kitchen." He said while gesturing me to go beside him and follow him.

"Thank you." And I followed him.

When we are walking, I noticed that he is looking at me.

"Umm.. is there a problem Elliot?" I asked confused

"Oh sorry. I'm just familiarizing myself to you. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable." He said, shyness is painted in his face.

"I see. Then... it's okay. Just make it not too often." I said smiling

"Okay. Sorry again." And with that we walked again.

Honestly I don't mind him looking at me. I hate being looked at but what's the harm? We'll be gone by tomorrow.

Drowning in my thoughts I didn't realized that we got in our destination.

"We're here." Elliot said and he walked inside so I followed.

"Mom? Jasmin is here to help." Elliot yelled taking his mother's attention. When Sara looked at me I greeted with a smile.

"Hello again ma'am Sara. Can I help you with the cooking?"

"My! You're so thoughtful Jasmin. But like I said earlier I can handle this. I really love to cook some foods for all of you. Please don't take it badly." She said giving me a sad smile.

"Oh sorry." I apologized looking at the floor embarrased.

"Don't be my dear. I'm really thankful to you. Do you want to do something?" She asked.

"Well, if I can help with it, yes."

"Can you play with Ethan? He's a loner boy. I want to have him a friend even it's for a short time."

"Of course." I said giving her a bright smile.

Ethan looked like an adorable child. He may be tall and almost reach my height but still he is a kid.
