My Star

Chapter 4

(POV: Astra)

The sun was rising for another fall morning, it's light shining onto my face, waking me up. I turn to the other side of my bed and to my surprise, I see Kindra sitting next to me, smirking... What would she want?  I thought.

"Did you go out again?" She asked me. I hesitate and say "At night?". Kindra then nods, still giving me a smirk like I just kissed a boy. "Then, yes?" I answer. She gets hyped and proceeds to interrogate me, if you would call it that. "Was Amadi there??" Kindra questions. I nod again. "Did you kiss him??" She then asks. I think my skin turned into a shade of pink and yell at Kindra to shut up as she laughs at me. "Besides," I continue. 

"How did you know I talked to him?"

Kindra then walks towards my desk and gives me an envelope and then gives it to me. "At about Midnight, I heard you coming upstairs to head back to bed." She says. "4 hours later I hear another feet of stairs and to my surprise.. it was Amadi.." My eyes open up as she spoke the words to me what happened. "I saw him holding this.. What do you think it is?" She then questions.

I gaze at the envelope, wondering what could be in it. I couldn't believe it. An envelope, from a guy! I slowly open it trying not to rip anything inside then pull out a piece of paper with writing. Of course!! It was a letter from Amadi!

I could tell Kindra was trying to keep her cool together as I read it to myself...

Dear Astra, 

Remember when you asked me if we can hangout again soon? At about 8:00AM,  I overheard your father telling your mother that on the 21st he'll be hosting the "Grand Ball" downtown. He wants me and Obi to help serve the guests there. I was wondering if you and I can go, together. Not as a date but that so we can be friends and get to know eachother. If you want to, meet me by the garden behind the building when we're there.. 

-Amadi

P.S.                                                                                                                                                  Bring Kindra too...

I looked up at Kindra and just smiled with some pink in my cheeks. She knew what the letter said just by that face.. "No way!" Kindra said. "Yeah.." I say. "And he want's you to come too!" "Wait. Why?" She asks me. "I don't know." I respond.  "Maybe because of Obi?" Kindra's face changed to a red and she looked away from me. "No.." I giggle.

 All the sudden, Kindra's face changes to a whole different person. "I better go get dressed for today.." She said with a serious tone.. "But we don't have anything today.." I claim. "I...I know.." Kindra goes on to say. "I just want to.." I start to get suspicious.. "Ok..?" I say "Bye Sis.." Kindra walks out closing the door behind her.

What happened to her?? 

(POV: Kindra)

I walked out of my sisters room ashamed of myself. Father told me to keep Astra away from them. How did I let myself do this!?! I look like I have a crush on Obi!! 

I need to stop her...

She's falling in love with a slave...

I start walking downstairs to tell father what had just happened. I don't care of my sister gets punished, I don't care if Amadi gets hurt, I don't care if...  

I stopped in my tracks and thought about Obi. I feel like he loves me... If he does, I don't wanna tattle on him making him think I hate him..Do I love him too?? Should I go with Astra and Amadi at the Grand Ball??... I sigh and walk back up the stairs to my room. I need time to think..
