Imperfectly Perfect

Brother

"Yes. I'm coming home.",he said while signing some documents.

"I'll visit her first....no...i'll be the one, no need to send Mr. Greg....."he said in a very serious tone.

"Don't you ever talk ill about her again. She's my sister."his voice was cold, sharp and threatening. After saying those words he hung up and leaned on his chair rubbing his forehead and sighed.

His family is indeed a mess. He can bear all the hardships his parents had given to him, but what about his sister? She may look happy and doesn't care about any words my parents would throw at her...but she's fragile. He once caught his sister in her mini library lying on the ground struggling to breathe..she has asthma... but worse than that her medical records shows that she is having the symptoms of Atrial Fibrillation which means his sister has a weak heart. If he wasn't there at that time he could never imagine what had happened to her...and if such thing happened he will never forgive his parents and most especially himself. He worked hard to be strong, he worked hard to be on top so that soon when he can surpass his father, no one in their family would pressure her again.

"We will be discussing a certain poem written by XXXX. Open your textbooks on page xx and let's all read together the first stanza."their professor in Literature instructed them as he picked up his book and started walking around the class while reading the poem.

Knock! Knock!
The school's vice president suddenly popped out from the door and went inside. Everybody from the class stood up and bowed down and greeted him. He raised his right arm and all the students returned to their seats and behaved.

"What brings you here Mr. Ng?"the professor said politely after bowing and fixed his glasses.

"Is Tracy Su here in your class?",he said.

All her classmates turned their head towards Tracy who was seated at the back.

"The hell...she must have done something serious this time....

Did she violated some laws in the school?

Ahaha....she's so brave...even the vice president came looking for her..

Tsk such trouble maker..."

Her classmates whispered..but could it be called whisper? She coud clearly hear all of them!

She stood up with her legs shaking. She tightened the grip from her chair as support.

"I...im here...",she was so nervous. What is it this time? What has she done? Did she forgot to return some books from the library? Did she not pay her snacks from the cafeteria? Did she stepped on the grass from the school garden with a sign "do not step on the grass". Did she insulted someone? Was she late?

When the vice president noticed her face turning pale he spoke:

"Come. You have a visitor.",the vice president said smiling as an assurance that there was nothing to be afraid of.

She let out a huge sigh of relief. But who could be this person? Nobody has visited her before? What could be the reason?

She followed the vice president and stopped at session hall. The vpresident courteously opened the door telling her to go inside. She gulped everytime she took a step inside. The session hall was the place where the Founders and incorporators of the school would usually stay for some discussion regarding with the school, but this time, there is only one person inside and he doesn't look like the old principal nor the president. She went a little bit closer to the guy who was standing near the glass wall facing the entire view of the school.

As she was about to get a little bit closer, the guy standing in front of the glass wall suddenly turned around facing her with a very sweet and loving smile....

"Tracy!!!",the guys exclaimed rushing to hug her.

"Bbb...brother!?",she was so surprised that it took her a minute to realize what happend and who this person was. Tears flowed from her eyes and she hugged her brother tightly.

"Where have you been all these years..."she said while still crying crumpling his brothers suit.

His brother let go of hugging her, and looked at his sister who was crying while he was holding her arms.

He was so happy to see her again, it has been 5 years since he saw her and now....he finally saw her...personally...he couldn't describe his happiness hugging his very own sister who he knows had been through a lot...had been hurt many times but still remained a smile on her face....there was a part of him that became sad and a part that was happy...

He wants to protect her and he wants to make up from all the absences he had...even for a short period of time....

"Did you miss me?",he asked looking at his sister who looked like the little kid back then who would always cry whenever he gets home.

She nod wiping her tears.

He hugged her again stroking her shoulder length blonde hair. And hugged her tightly kissing her on the head.

"Me too...."

The Su siblings went out of the session hall heading to the school gate. all the students who saw her brother as they pass by on the lobby couldn't help but stare at him. His brother was way too charming that his smile while talking to his sister caught up the attention of every girl in the campus....and soon the lobby was filled with giggling, shouting and girls going crazy.

Meanwhile in class 3A...

"He's here!!!",some of the girls exclaimed with full excitement.

"What's the commotion all about?",Joshua asked waking up and looked around.

"They're shouting their prince is here...ahahaha...bunch of idiots!",Frank who sat behind him exclaimed catching some of the girls attention and looked back at him with fiery eyes.

"Ooppsss..my bad..."Frank.

"Hey, who's that girl?"Girl 1 asked pointing at Tracy.

"Isn't that the nerd from 2A? Tracy Su?",another girl exclaimed who looked confused.

"How dare she! She sure has the guts to get close to guys...first he had Tom (then they looked at Tom who was reading) and now that guy (looks back again at Tracy's brother)." Girl with pink hairband said angrily.

"Hey! Get back to your seats!",a woman with long black hair, wearing black highwaist pencil cut skirt and white longsleeve shouted while standing tapping her hand on the board.

All the students from 3A hurriedly went back to their seats in an instant and no one dared to make some noise.

"You bunch of evil gossipers! Don't you have any dignity! Do you know who you are hitting with?"she said putting both hands on the table with full force that all of them in classroom suddenly felt surprised and scared.

"If you are wondering who is that guy over there walking along with your so called 'nerd student from 2A'..."she paused and stared evily at them with a matching evil smile which made students gulped up their saliva as they watched her with fear. "Well...congratulations...because that guy happens to be one of the founders of this school, Mr. Edward Su."

Hearing this, all the students especially the girls looked at each other.

"It seems like, you finally understood. Mr. Edward Su happens to be Tracy Su the 'nerd from 2A's brother."

When the teacher said those words, they (the girls) felt like an arrow had pierced through each of them.
