The Tragedy Of Brothers

CHAPTER 6

Alice had a long day. After playing pranks and teasing their mathematics teacher today in school, she went through her usual routine. Everything became boring and it really started to piss her off. She's used to people around her chatting, playing pranks and even fighting. She never imagined being alone could be like hell. Feeling all lonely, she decided to go to bed early. She glanced at the wall clock, its ten in the night. She closed her eyes tightly trying to force herself to sleep. Abruptly, she heard the sound of the doorbell. She jumped out of bed and realized she was wearing short and crop singlet.

"Darn!" She cursed. "Must I fucking wear something descent?" She mumbled and grabbed a blue plain gown and pulled it through her head. At least she looked presentable.

She unlocked the front door and saw Raymond standing, his hands inside his pocket. He looked strikingly handsome as always and the sight of him made her heart melt.

"Hello," he smiled awkwardly. Raymond had trouble sleeping and his thought kept drifting to the fun they had with Alice earlier. On their way back home from school, they kept making jokes and laughing at their school teachers. She's fun to be with but she's got this attitude. Some how bossy and snobbish. He liked her personality. No girl has ever behaved this way towards him. They have always treated him like another specie; like he was made of gold. And of course he likes the way they treat him but Alice behavior towards him was something new - a challenge he wants to accept. He adores Alice because she doesn't look at or treat him differently.
He decided it would be fun if he spends some time with her. He's sure she isn't asleep.

"Hi", Alice waved her hand awkwardly. "Did I do something wrong? You know, like destroy one of your books or forgot to return them to their bookshelves? I'm somehow fun of doing that", she smiled sheepishly. She sounded so pathetic.

"No", he cleared his throat and pushed his way into her apartment.

"I'm spending the night here", he smirked and sat on the sofa crossing his legs playfully.

"What! You surely know that you have no fucking right to barge into my apartment and without my permission? So cut the crap and get your fucking ass out of my darn apartment, boy!" She yelled furiously without thinking about it.

"You got to stop being a snob. Chill girl", Raymond laughed amazed with her attitude. "Join me, will you?" He grabbed her hand and wretched her closer to him, making her seat next to him. "Let's watch a movie. You wouldn't mind, right? Its not like I'm a gangster or a serial killer? He turned and stared at her. She looked awkward; like a gun had been aimed right straight at her head.

Raymond laughed, "You sure you aren't scared of me? You don't need to worry, its going to be fun".

Alice rolled her eyes, "Why'd I be scared of you? This is such a crap".

"Um, let's watch a movie", he muttered and grabbed the remote control. He switched it to a vampire movie on M movies zone and Alice had to hold him tightly when a vampire was about to bite the main character in the movie. Alice unconsciously buried her face on his chest out of fear.

"Um sorry", she whispered awkwardly and pulled away.
Raymond smiled. "Is this how you usually behave when watching a scary movie? You are behaving like a kitten. Its not like the vampire was budging out of the TV to bite u?" He tease her.

"Back off. Will u?" She snorted rolling her eyes.

"You sure possess some attitudes", he said and focused his vision on the TV. They sat silently but Raymond wasn't paying attention to the movie. His interest on the movie was long lost and now on Alice. He watched Alice from the corner of his eyes. " she's cute", he thought then looked back at the TV.
