Daisy:
it's been very late, why isn't he here?
I remember the moment when I got the call, the call was from the girl, her name was Luciana, her soft voice, I didn't know why she called here, I used to get the calls from the boys only so I was shocked by her voice.
"Hello, this is Daisy Brown," I said
"Uh… Hello, my name is Luciana, I'm a friend of your brother Francis"
That was not expected, the call was for Francis, it never happened well the last call he received was when he was in 10th standard, from his friend Joe but until then, I sometimes wonder what happened between Joe and Francis, they were very good friends but still, I was very happy, happy because of knowing that he has a friend now, he's not alone anymore, and even his friend is a girl,
"Yeah, this is Francis house but he's not home yet"
"What? The school's over almost one hour ago"
"Yeah he always goes to the river so that's why he's late"
"Okay so I called there because I want to invite him to a party"
My eyes wide opened "Whaaaat? Francis got invited by a girl, is she his girlfriend? Am I dreaming? This isn't real" I was shocked, he's an introverted type, how he could get a girlfriend but I was happy for him too.
"Okay so where's the party, I mean address?"
"Umm I will send you my address, it's in my house and please do send him, I think he's very alone, he didn't talk to anyone in school"
"Yeah that's how he is"
"Okay so let him know"
"Yeah yeah I will tell him yeah okay"
I hear the sound of the gate opening, he's here standing, sad and depressed as usual, caring the empty bag, he never took his books to the school, he's never been into the study things, from his face it's not like that he has a girlfriend, does living alone fun? I don't know, I have never been alone, right now I'm living with him, my brother, our parents lives in London very far away from us, I have graduated last year and still looking for a job, I enjoyed my school days and I want him to enjoy his school life too but now he has a girlfriend but why am I in shock?
"Whose phone was it?" He asked, my mind is still full of shock, don't know why but I have some tears on my eyes, I'm very happy for him and I know that he notices my tears too cause soon he asked
"What Happened Sis?"
"You have been invited to a party, the call was from a girl"
The air around our room turned colder, his face got drenched with sweats, "Why is he confused? Isn't she his friend? I thought they were dating" my thoughts are very confused too, he turned his mouth wide open
"What happened? She's your girlfriend right?" I asked
"No dammit, she isn't even my friend" I'm not shocked to hear that, I knew that something fishy there.
"Then why did she invite you?" I asked
"How should I know?" I knew from his face that he's hiding something but I went with the flow
"You know what? She's very worried about you"
"I don't care, I'm not going to the party"
"Why? You should go"
"You know me, I'm not the party type guy"
"That's why she's worried about you" I saw his face, there is shining in his both wide-opened eyes, he's happy and sad both at the same time but I have decided that I'll take him to the party
"Yeah you're going to the party, I'm going to take you"
"I don't want to sis, don't force me now"
"You've got a very good chance, go and make her your girlfriend, I know you like her" his face turned red, I knew that he likes her, "Ain't going to leave this golden chance" my mind is saying to help him
"Look I know why she invited me, I know very well, they will make fun of me there"
"It isn't going to happen, believe me"
I want him to be frank and get a girlfriend for himself, "He should enjoy his teenage life"
"So you've any good clothes?" I asked, he seems very confused, happy and sad.
"Okay, so you wanna tell me everything?" I said I want to know the whole story, he's my brother, my mind and heart wanted too, at first he hesitated but soon he started talking
"She wanted to be my friend, but I always ran away from her but she hasn't talked to me like for 2 weeks so I don't know what's in her mind"
"So what's wrong? She wants to be your friend, go and make her your friend and then your girlfriend"
"Sis please don't get your hopes high, she has a boyfriend but I know she doesn't like him at all"
"Yeah She likes you brother" he started laughing, he wants her to be his girlfriend for that I am sure, the air felt warm and hot, "He seems happy now"
"So you wanna go now?"
"No"
"What? Why?"
"He should enjoy life, the life of a teenager, he should be pumped up till now by the only name of the party"
"You're going there"
"I guess I have no other choice"
"I knew he wanted to go there, I knew from the start"
"Okay so the party's tomorrow so be ready"
"Yeah yeah, whatever" his expressions are very confused, at first he seemed shocked but then he was happy and then sad and now He's annoying? I didn't know that I'm doing the right thing, once again he went outside, "I know he's going to the river again, he should make some friends, he thinks that it's cool being alone but it's very depressive"
