Twisted

The Sibling Fear

Today I didn't struggle to wake up. Instead, I woke up early and went to the dining room for breakfast.

"Hey Dad!!Hey mom!!"

Dad looked up from his newspaper towards me and then at mom. After sometime, he said,
"Honey, you didn't tell me Shawn's friend had come over?? Did you enjoy last night son?? Shawn let you sleep peacefully right?? "

Mom chuckled.

"Dad!!!!" I groaned.

"Okay okay!! But what am I supposed to do when I see my son waking up early in the morning for the first time???"

"I don't always wake up late Dad.."

"Of course you don't son. The last time I saw you sit nicely dressed with us for breakfast was....... was....... Let me recall..... It was..... Never!!!!!! Yes..."

"Oh Manuel, stop troubling my son, will you??"

"Okay, as you say..." He chuckled.

Then mom looked at me with an expecting look and said, "Tell me honey, who is she??"

Whaaatttt????

I parted my lips to say something but nothing came out.

Oh man!!! How does she manage to see everything in my eyes???

I wanted to say that she was wrong but now both of them were looking at me, their eyes full of surety that it was a girl.

"Umm-uh, she's new here. Her name's Karel."

"Oh dear, finally my young man is interested in some girl." Mom sighed.

"Of course!! You know son, if you would have lived just a year more without a girlfriend, then I would surely have suspected that you have a boyfriend!!!!!" He laughed at his own joke.

"Oh stop honey!!" But she was chuckling too.

"By the way, where's Emma??" I tried to change the topic.

"She has already left for school..."

"Oh... So early???"

"She had to complete some project with Isabel."

"Okay.. "

I quickly had breakfast and left for school, this time jumping and smiling throughout the journey.

I reached and the first one I spotted was Karel. I ran up to her and we started talking.

"Oh you came early today!!! I thought you'll be late and we'll get to see you praising the beauty of some teacher again!!!" She giggled.

"I thought I would bump into some better looking girl today."

She pouted and rolled her eyes.

I spotted Emma passing by us with Isabel and said, "Hey sissy!!!"

"Hey bro"

"Bye sissy!!"

"Bye bro!"

She left.

"Was she your sister??"

"Yes, Emma"

"Oh!! She's beautiful!!"

"Can't blame her, her brother is so handsome so she had to be good looking."

"Such a narcissist you are!!!"

"Am I???"

"Of course!!"

"So what about you?? Do you have any siblings??" I didn't want to talk anymore about me being a narcissist.
