----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The school bell chimed, marking the end of her junior years, leaving behind the familiar hallways and echoing laughs and cries of friends in the hallways. Graduation day has brought a lot of emotions as she paved her way for senior high school.
As she walked home, the bustling energy of the town faded into the background, replaced by her own thoughts.In the middle of the streets, a familiar sight caught Raziah's attention at the neighborhood gas station. Memories from junior high surfaced, and her heart quickened as she recalled the enchanting encounter that had lingered in the back of her mind.
It was there, surrounded by the hum of cars and the scent of gasoline, that Raziah's walk would come to a stop, There she was, Lyney Mae, admiration that had played softly in her heart since those junior high years. Still fresh from her memory of which is Lyney's face that day that continued to make Raziah's heart raise to this day.
"She was the most beautiful even when she wasn't even in her best," Raziah whispered to herself, her words carried away by the breeze.
Her private moment was suddenly interrupted by her playful twin brother, Ralph, who had overheard her musings.
"And who is this most beautiful person you're talking about? Is my sister finally showing emotions of love? Raziah? The one and only devil of a person I call sister?" Ralph teased, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Raziah's hand's flies at Ralphs face at an unseen pace.
The slap echoed in the air, Leaving a momentary hush between the siblings.
"Call me a devil again and you'll see how much I can be one Ralph" Raziah scolds with a smirk.
"Alright alright, why do I even have a sister like you which just constantly abuses this poor old little brother" Ralph teases with a grin
"Because without me, you would be a weird person that would just be a social outcast in this school," Raziah teased, a playful smile on her face.
Ralph, mockingly offended, responded, "Oh, really? I think I would be the life of the school. But really, who's the lucky guy, or gir I won't judge, Especially Victor he would like to know as well." Ralph added teasingly, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
"Maybe I should tell Victor, He can help me with her. But yes it's a girl and her name is Lyney Mae." Raziah admitted, as she rolls her eyes from his teasing.
"Lyney Mae???, The canvas charmer Lyney Mae? The shutter beauty Lyney Mae? That Lyney Mae??" Ralph utters in complete shock, his eyes widen in shock
"Exactly that Lyney Mae she's probably the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life." Raziah admitted with full confidence.
"You really have a good eye, sis, but have you ever talked to her? I would like her to be my in-law already anyway," Ralph jokingly stated, a mischievous grin on his face.
"Well, it's too late now. Since this graduation, I didn't even get to talk to her for the whole junior school year, and it was just me admiring her from afar," Raziah stated with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
