Chaper 3 - New Girl and Advice!

I gaped at my reflection. “This is…I’ve never…” felt pretty before. I turned to Louis, “Thank you. I’ve never felt this pretty before” he smiled, “your welcome. Have a good day at school alright?” he said waving as he left. I grabbed my stuff and went downstairs and saw yusuke, ema, Tsubaki, azusa, and Wataru all gathered at the table.

Ukyo was in the kitchen cooking. He smiled when he spotted me, “ah, reiko-chan good morning. Would you like some breakfast?” he asked. I nodded and took the plate he handed me full of food. “Thank you.” I went to the table and sat on the end away from the others.

“Rei-chan why are you all the way over there?” asked ema pausing from eating her meal. “Eating.” I answered simply. That’s true but really it’s cause I can feel those guys’ glares. They don’t want me near them nor ema. Whatever not like I care. I was still a bit ticked off at her.

Tsubaki’s eyes narrowed at my response, “But why not come sit with us?” she asked pointing at the seat beside her. I ignored her and kept eating. “she asked you a question” said Tsubaki glaring at me. At first I thought they would just leave me alone if left them alone. But whenever it involves ema they get all defensive and start glaring at me. Especially Tsubaki and yusuke. I’m starting to hate it here more and more.

“I heard her, I just don’t feel like answering.” I finished eating and stood up, “Wait, rei-chan are you leaving already! Let’s go together!” ema said reaching a hand out to her sister. I glared at her you’re the reason I’m getting so many problems. “I have stuff to finish before school starts” and with that I left.

Ema frowned as her sister rejected her again. No matter what she did reiko seemed to dislike her more and more. “Am I a bad sister?” she muttered sadly. Tsubaki frowned and patted her head, “No, that robot with no feelings is. Ema is the bestest sister in the world.” He said with a grin trying to cheer her up.

Ema frowned and pushed his hand away, “Reiko is not a robot! She does have feelings! Why are you so mean to her!” ema yelled at him. Everyone’s eyes widened. Ema had never raised her voice like that before. She looked at the table her hands clutching the fabric of her skirt,

“I…I really want to be closer to reiko-chan. Mama said that when she first met reiko she seemed lonely, remember? Maybe…maybe reiko is rude because she doesn’t know how to interact with people! Maybe she’s just shy so she lashes out so she won’t be put in situations she can’t handle” ema said and looked up at them hoping they understood.

“Precisely what I was thinking, baby sister~”

“Kaname-san!”

“I agree with you, imouto. As a skilled people reader I can tell you that reiko is just uncomfortable around people. At least that’s what I think.”

Ema smiled brightly at him, “You think so too! Then how should I approach rei-chan so we can be friends?” Tsubaki sighed, “even if she is like that I’m still not interested in her. I only want you, imouto~” Tsubaki said embracing ema.

Azusa slapped the back of his head, “it’s too early for this Tsubaki!” he groaned. Tsubaki pulled away with a pout on his face. Kaname got ema’s attention again, “well, first you have to get her to relax.” He said holding up a finger.
