Rana stared at the spot that Fei had just occupied mere moments ago. The whole meeting seemed like some sort of weird dream. But what was weirder was the squishy mud that was now coating her black boots. Rana's mind ran at a million miles per hour as she tried to comprehend what had just happened in the brief encounter and logically sift through it.
"Rana!" A relieved voice broke through her thoughts. She turned around and her face lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Zac!" She called out in excitement before barrelling straight towards him. She flung herself into his arms and deeply inhaled his scent.
A cough from behind them caught Rana's attention as they awkwardly broke apart. The girl put a brilliant smile on but Rana could see the jealousy in her eyes.
"So you're Rana." She said after a moment. "I'm Vanessa."
"Nice to meet you." Rana replied warily.
Vanessa stared at Rana for a few more moments before turning her gaze on Zac, her face instantly became 'seductive' as she laid a hand on his arm.
"Anything else you need handsome?" She purred, red hair flowing around her face as a soft breeze blew by.
Zac smirked at her, glancing at her lips.
"How about you meet me after school and we can have some fun, gorgeous." He replied, his voice dropping an octave as Vanessa flushed a soft pink.
Rana stifled a laugh as Vanessa gave Zac a chaste kiss on the cheek before leaving.
"You're such a heartbreaker." She teased as Zac grinned.
"Takes one to know one." He joked as Rana whacked his arm. His smile melted and a worried look overcame his features. Rana could feel her stomach sinking.
"Why did you really come back Zac?"
"Can't I just be here to see my little sister?" Zac said innocently.
"Nice try. Now spill."
He sighed and stared at the ground, as if unsure of how to word his thoughts.
"Something happened while I was out of town."
"Did you knock someone up?" Rana guessed.
"What? No!" Zac cried out indignantly.
"Then what's wrong?"
Zac bit his rosy lips and ran a hand through his already messy hair. He tugged on the hem of his white undershirt before sticking a hand in his leather jacket pocket.
"You know that feeling you get when something-" He began.
"Cut the cryptic crap and get straight to the point." Rana cut him off as she bore a hole into his face with her specialised death glared reserved only for her three brothers.
