"I can't love him..."
"I can't love her..."
Elena is a collegian. She passes her day reading, studying and listening to music like a normal teenager would do. Love is so important to her but she never had the experience of having a boyfriend eve...
"Finally finished." I said closing all my books that were scattered on the table of the kitchen.
"Want some help mom?"
My mom was shaking the pasta that were boiling on the cooker.
"No honey, I'm okay."
I smiled and took my phone to check if I've received any notifications, but nothing (as usual). Twenty minutes after, my mom said:
"Can you put the table Lena?"
"Sure!"
I took the plates and placed them on the table. It wasn't so difficult, we're only three in the house. I've always wondering what it would be like to have a big family. Some people find that it's really tired, but I think that it brings happiness and an atmosphere to the family. I've always seen myself with a lot of children when I'll grow up. Like the proverbe say: The more, the merrier.
My father came when my mom yelled that the table is ready and he kissed me on my forehead.
"How was your day?" He asked while we were sitting around the table.
"Pretty good."
"Cool!" He simply answered. My father is always working on his office upstairs when I come to the house after school. It's the reason why I don't see him a lot.
I take a mouthful of the delicious pasta that my mom did.
"I just remember that! Kate Williams has invited us for dinner this Friday. It's been a long time since we didn't see them because they were in California for one year so I thought why not accept?" Said my mom.
At that moment, I choked myself with the pasta.
"I need.." I coughed. "Water."
My dad gave me a glass of water that I've drank within a second. Us, eating with the Williams?Must be a joke obviously.
"Yes." Added my dad. "It has been a long time since I didn't see Luke Williams. Ahh, this man was so funny!" He began to laugh alone.
I must be dreaming. In fact, I must be having a nightmare! As if it isn't enough to go to the Williams 2 times per week is already a big deal for me, but eating dinner with them?! Never.
"I won't go." I proclaimed.
My parents began to laugh. What was suppose to be so funny?
"And what is the motivation?" Asked my father.
"I...I have a lot of homework." I lied. What a bad lie!
"You have all the weekend to do it Elena." Said my mom. "Plus, it would be impolite from you to refuse this invitation.".
Oh mom. If you only knew that Hayden is the one that I don't want to see. Especially eating with him.
"Okay, you won." I said already regretting my words.
Mom did a little weird exciting dance that made my dad laughed and I sighed. I present to you my dear (crazy) mother.

Friday
"So 4/2 equal 2/1 so 2." I said to Nathan. After he wrote the answer, he asked me:
"You know that the Barbie is with my brother again? Stupid little witch!" He said with a cute child voice.
"Oh...I think I saw them in school... " I lied trying not to think about Monday nor to look at Nathan. He reminds me of his brother and it bothers me, I don't know why...Maybe because they have the same look.
"They passed the week together. It's really incomprehensible, isn't it ?"
I finally met his blue eyes and said:
"Love is imcomprehensible."
He nodded- as if he understood me- and close his books.
"Do you have a brother?"
"Nope, I only have an older sister, but she lives in London with her fiancé so I don't see her a lot...'' I said missing my sister Kristen.
"Can I be your brother then?" He asked with limit stars in his eyes.
His question made me laugh at first, but had me astonished. Weird question that can means a lot. I was really surprised about it. Never thought of the idea of being an older sister: my parents told me that they only wanted two children and they're happy with it. When I was young, I would always imagine a little me playing around the house, asking me help when they needed it or defending her/him if someone woud intimidate my sibling.
''It's a weird question, I know...'' He said checking the floor, sign that he was shy. ''But I would really like to have a cool sister like you in my life even if the possibilitiy would be 0.'' He added.
How can I say no to this angel? How?
''Okay...Brother Nathan.'' I accepted and gave him a little punch on his tiny shoulder.
He simply smiled and I checked my phone to see the hour.
''Oh. You're mother...'' I paused not knowing if I must say 'my' mother, but continued: ''Will be here in a minute. Do you want to wait her with me downstairs?''
''No, it's okay. I'll play with my cars.'' He answered, pointing his cars' s collection.
I smiled and left his room, but just as I was going downstairs, I heard a little: ''Bye bye sister Elena!'' And that made my heart melt.

I was really anxious right now, my hands were litteraly shaking as I try my best to look calm like my parents. I took a lot of time to look a little bit 'presentable' as my mother say. She told me to take the skirt we bought last week and I add with it a simple T-Shirt, long socks and a jacket with a scarf because the weather outside was pretty much cold.

For my hair, I simply curled them.
''Elena? Don't stress for nothing. I know you didn't see Mr.Williams, but you're gonna see, he is really kind.'' My mom said.
And when I was going to reply to her that I'm not stressing for that reason, Kate Williams opened the door.
''Oh, hi! God, it's been a long time! Come in!''
Someone kill me now. Please.
<< I can't make you love me, want me, or understand me... All I can do is hope that someday you will>>>
