Chapter 6 Chat

Chapter 6    

"Hey, John. Do you know where Ken is? I kind of need to tutor him in trigonometry." I asked John while chewing my halk eaten burger, John bought for me.

I have never seen Ken since like a week ago. Well, after gayly walking out there, he was gay. Kidding. I'm just wondering why Ken is gone all week. He was gone after that walk out of his. Then no appearances were found.

John and I are eating lunch together again and it's been a week since the first lunch that we ate together. Thank God we have no classes this afternoon. I can spend time with John.       

"Nope. He's out with our Father."  John waved his fork then dipped it into his meal. I really think we're dating. Me and my imagination for John. Oh why are we so meant together? Kidding.

To tell you the truth, I don't feel butterflies in my tummy like I did before with John. It's more of like, John is a best guy friend and brother. That's all. It's all what I feel for John right now. Brotherly and bestfriend-ly.

Wait. My mind is drifting and  Wait! Father? Did he just say He's out with our Father.?!

"I'm not being too snoopy but why would you call Ken's father, our father or father or something?" I can be as nosy as who knows but seriously talking, I don't snoop a lot. I'm just curious at this moment of time.

"Well. That's amazing. I was telling you something like that the whole week and now you just noticed my words. Yes! Now, look at me and focus, Elsie." Checking his face structure, he does look like Ken. I haven't noticed that.

"Woah. Woah. Woah there. Information is getting in my brain real fast. Can you please elaborate first?" I waved my hands in the air and dropped my spoon and fork to tell him I'm totally confused. This is just plain unbelievable.

"Kenneth and I are well, you know. Half, brothers." He was saying this so casually and my reaction is like WHAT?!

"You guys are brothers?! I don't know that! But.. but.. You have different last names." WHAT?!     

"Oh. Since you're going to be part of the family anyways. Haha. Kidding!" He dirtied my hair and I gave him a scowl. What a weirdo really. I don't get it. Why is he being so cheerful all of the sudden? My sheezers.

I slapped him hard on his shoulder. "You're crazy John! Bwah!"    

How come, I'm just knowing about this right now? John has been telling me clues that they are brothers the whole time? Anyway because of this, I realized that John can be really secretive and manipulative sometimes.    

And you know, you don't even know it but you're following his orders without even realizing it. Like when John ordered me to get his ball pen on the floor and I rejected the idea but then he kept on keeping me comfortable and talking and making jokes. I never realized that I was already picking up his ball pen when I was laughing so hard. Mind Freak.

"Just kidding!" He gave me the peace sign and continued talking. "Since you have been a really great friend and you showed me your house."  More like he broke into my apartment. Scumbag of an angel he is.

"Its an apartment." I corrected. Now I feel poor when I'm with him.

"It's a home. I like it. It's different with the mansion. The mansion feels like a huge house with ghosts. That's why it's called a mansion and not a home. You're apartment is a home, Elsie" He smiled at me warmly.    

"But you guys are so rich. Woah. I still can't imagine that you guys are brother and all. It seems so impossible. Really." I started to grab my spoon and fork to start eating again. I don't want to think on how poor I am.

"You'll get over it. Anyway, as I was speaking-" Oh wait. He's going to elaborate it. I still need to process. He became quiet for a while and I look like a freak right now.

"Wait!!! Let me process! You're brother is Ken and you live in the same house, I mean mansion?" He nodded. Knowledge OVERLOAD! That is even though the only fact I know is that they are brothers and they kind of look alike.

"Okay. We have one father." He tried to explained but I cut him.

"You have different last names!" I put my spoon and fork down for the nth time. This is shocking! Oh sheezers!    

"Okay. Chill Elsie. Let me explain first before I believe that you're going to interrupt me everytime I say something. Haha. You look like a lunatic and ready to attack someone with a spoon and a fork.

"You look cute." Well that made me shut up. You just have to say cute. Really?  Well, I'm flattered.

" Okay. Just so you know. Can you explain it in a way that I can go with the flow? SO you know. I can process?" I looked intently at him.

"Yeah yeah. Sure. Hahaha. You're so cute. Okay. I'll start." He cleared his throat.

"We have different mothers. My mom was the first wife and she left our father. Ken's mother was the reason why mom moved out. Ken's mother and father had a relationship for about 3 years in my parent's marriage and my mom knew it all along. She suffered for 15 years actually. She only had the chance to file a divorce just 8 years ago."    

Oh my Sheezers! I can't believe someone like John could be a brother to  "Woah. So you mean, you're Mr. Magin Brown's son? And Ken is your brother?! Woah! Impossible!"    

"It's possible. Hehe." He smirked and smiled. It always gets me gooey inside. I smile too. I take my senses in before I drift into my day dreams. Wait! Ken!    

"Hey. But Ken and you are so different! It's like the both of you are you know, heaven and hell?" I raised my eyebrow while my face scrunched with the unbelievable thought in my head.    

"By that you mean, I'm heaven and Ken's hell?" I nodded quietly. "If you get to know Ken really, he's the opposite and a lot like me. Believe it or not, he's a lot nicer than me really." What?!      

"Huh? He's never nice." I rolled my eyes. He can be nice but never nicer than hell.

He smirked at me in a way that he remembered something. "I saw you and Ken almost kiss."    

Oh MY SQEEZERS! SHEEZERS! "No you didn't!" My face turned red. Grr.

He shrugged then his face turned into a serious one. "And by the way, Aunt Therese died when father."John gulped something in his mouth then continued. "shot her because he was drunk and Ken, he saw everything, Elsie. Ken hated both his parents. And I think that's all I can give too you. You have heard so much already."    

That's all? I mean it's information overload but why would Ken hate his parents? "But why would Ken hate his parents? If that's so? Why would he be with his dad right now?"    

It's so confusing. "Fine, I'll tell you. Ken is the heir for everything and I'm just like the next heir if he dies." 

"So it's like you don't own anything but you're the real son, right?" I raised my left eyebrow.

"No. We're both the real sons. I'm just the legal son. Kenneth is the you get it, the black sheep because he's not the real son. Anyways, My parents divorced so I have a huge pocket of dollars right now from my mother." His eyes glittered. What's with guys and money? I don't get it.

"You guys are rich." I can't help but think about Ken. What happened that day in the second grade? Why did he fight me?

John must have realized that I spaced out. "Hey, let's go to the mansion. We can wait for Ken there."    

"Uh... sure. I guess." I didn't realize Ken had a lot of things that he went through. He always looked so carefree and well an ass.

We stood up from our lunch table and John guided me to his car.
