Opposite Attraction (NCIS Fanfiction)

Chapter 1 Hung Out to Dry (Episode 2)

Lia smiled when she strolled around the park by herself. She just arrived yesterday coming from her home country to Washington DC for her mini holiday and attending her friends' wedding day. Lia understands that Thea is still a High School student. She needs to attend the lessons in order for her to graduate soon.

"Thea sure is a dedicated student, just like us." Lia muttered as she referred to herself, Steve, Phoebe and Novilene. They worked so hard for them to become a successful professional. Not just only working so hard but also they have high IQ each one of them. "Novilene..." She frowned and started to get worried about the young woman.

Lia is so tempted to go to England and check how Novilene is doing. She tried to call Novilene's mother, Maria, but it ends up voicemail. The Filipino woman decided to call Novilene's half-brother, Alex Hunt, hoping he could accept it.

"Hello?" Lia sighs in relief hearing his voice. She's glad Alex manage to answer her call whereas his family didn't at all.

"Alex, it's me... Lia, how are you?" She asks the teenage boy politely.

"Hey, Cee! I'm alright and you know me... busy as usual for my future." He chuckled and closing down the notes. "When am I going to see you? The last time we met was like 6 or 7 years ago?"

Alex Hunt immediately loved Lia as his own sister despite not being related. Lia has this affection for the love of children especially they think of her as a role model. Alex is not the only one who thinks of Lia as his own sister but it also includes Thea as well. He missed her so much and want to see his sister figure again.

"7 years ago, Alex." She smiled and glad to know Alex remembered her. "Have you spoken to your mother or Novilene lately? They usually replied to my voicemail or an email in case both of them are busy."

"I haven't sis... I'm currently in Scotland today because we have an international football tournament." Alex answered and staring at the ceiling. "I was planning to call them today."

"I see... send me a text if you manage to call them?" Lia asks and not wanting to let this teenage boy panic.

"Sure..." Alex frowned and wondering why his mother and half-sister didn't respond to her. "Have you guys fought?" Asking worriedly and couldn't imagine his family arguing or fighting Lia that much.

"We didn't fight, Alex." Lia assured him and glancing down at her watch. "I'll talk to you later."

"Okay sis, love you."

"I love you too, baby brother." She hangs up and sighs heavily. "I wonder how Thea is doing right now..."

The teenage girl suddenly sneezed in the middle of the library. The librarian glared at her direction where she is sitting, returning a sheepish smile at him.

Ring!

Thea groaned as everyone stared at her as she smiles nervously and leaves the library. She sighs heavily seeing someone called her.

"You better have a damn good reason to call me, Kate." She growled angrily and hated the fact someone interrupted her studies. Thea almost left behind her studies if it wasn't for Lia's helped to offer her suggestions for decorations. Not to mention they called different people because her parents are going overboard this time for her sister's wedding.

"Jeez, did you woke up in a bad mood?" Caitlin 'Kate' Todd cringed for calling her in a wrong time.

"You called me in the middle of my studies, Kate!" She exclaimed angrily and glared at the students who passed her by. "I stayed up late for preparing my sister's wedding and study for the final exams."
