I stood there awkwardly until I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. I turned to its direction to check who it is, "why are you not home yet?" my brother asked in concern. "Oh, they left me." I simply answered then he told me to come with him in his motor and we both exited out of our school.
*minutes have passed*
We are almost home, sun was burning up and leaves were rustling as my brother's motor gained speed. Then I heard a dog barking and Selka's loud voice filling up the entire house. "they're home!!!" I heard. My brother then ordered me to get off of his motor and open the gates for him. I obeyed and ran inside our house after.
"mooooom! why did you leave without me?" I whined and went to the kitchen where several delicious scents were smelled. "Selka and Halvey told me that you are going to ride home with your brother, why?"
what? I didn't tell them that? Oh they are dead.
"nothing, just a little misunderstanding between me and those rats-."
"Karmina..." a serious tone came from her voice. "oh I mean cousins, yea cousins. Im going to head upstairs now mom, thank you!"
I stomped my feet as hard as I can while taking each and every step of the staircase. I am sarcastically reminding them that I am home and that they left me at the school. "soooo? where is my thank you?" Selka cheekily smiled. "what thank you?" I gave them a confused look.
"we heard the boys of the other team talking about you with that number 24 guy while you were heading to the bathroom, soooo we turned into cupids. How did it go?" Halvey said while fixing herself on the cusions ready to hear my story.
"long-story short, he bumped into me causing my knees to bleed and I was so embarrassed until he came to me and started treating it. It looked like he is an expert in treating wounds." I told them all in one go.
"what a beautiful love-story.." they had their heart eyes popping out of their faces. "let me see what he did to your bruise."
I carefully unrolled my leggings and started to unwrap the roll of bandages that he applied. "woah, that's cute. He used his bandage to treat your wound." Selka gave a look at Halvey, "that's what bandages are for Halvene.."
aish these two.
"Look! a note." Halvey pointed at something. "huh?" I picked it up and it was facing the other way so I turned and read what was written on it.
Always treat your wounds even if you're used to having it, ok? -matthias,24
