Chapter 1Chapter 2: The family

The specific situation of the rest of the family is quite clear to me but rough to others.

Clear to me because eventhough our family is made up of 6, I have 2 brothers and a sister, both my sister, Cassandra also known as Cassie and my older brother, Alexander also called Xander are not with them because Cassie is already married and currently staying in the city with a family of her own. On the other hand, Xander is both studying and working in the city center.

But for others, it's unclear because even when I was at school in my past life, people often thought that I only had one sibling, my brother Vincent aka Vince. Maybe because other people don't often see them often here in our town that is why they had that idea.

The first person I saw when we went home is my father and seeing my father, with no white hairs and no old injuries. I was happy for the chance to change her father's fate is still on my grasp.

My father, Arthur was a carpenter. Father can be said to be famous in our town eventhough he can be said to be a foreigner for he was not born in their town. He came here after hsi sister, Helen was married to someone here in their town.

My parents met when they were at school. In high school, my mom, Cynthia was an academic bully. She often ranks first in their school. And my father, Arthur was a member of the basketball varsity. It may seem quite romantic for others but for me, who knows the true story of my parents has a different view.

My parents married young. My mom became pregnant when in high school with my sister, Cassandra. They named her after a protagonist in a radio story my mother often listened to when she was pregnant. My parents had many twists and turns but they still lived together for a long time.

I looked at my father and said, "Pa, you're already here. You even came first before brother. "

Arthur was a little bit surprised with her tone. Since she was a child, his youngest daughter was often clingy and close to her father. She was like a little tail always following wherever she goes. But Arthur didn't voice out his surprise and answered, "Well, your brother might be playing with his friends again. It might be late when he goes home later."

Cynthia was also surprised because she knows how her daughter loves to follow his father around. Even when Arthur was drinking with his buddies, Carmela accompanies him like a tail at his back. But she was a little bit relieved because nothing good comes out of her daughter following her husband in his drinking sessions with his buddies. She might even think it's good to drink so as early as possible, her daughter needs to be following her mother, watching and learning the responsibilities of being a woman of the house.

I noticed the way both my parents are surprised with the way I was acting but for me, the past her is different and the person I is now is mature and independent. I am not a real child after all. I have all the memories and experience of a woman who already knows the reality of life. And it is not always a pleasant experience. And I decided early on in my musings that as early as possible, I had to make my family get used with the way I act because I had to prepare for the future especially when I had to learn a lot of useful skills and do some unimaginable things. I had to enjoy some of the things and enjoy the experience but I also had to be prepared for the future.

After that short exchange, the people in the house soon does their own activities. Cynthia was cooking, Arthur was watching television and I was with my father watching. Ever since I was a child, I was influenced by my father in the hobby of watching movies especially Hollywood movies which I was glad I did early on because I was able to improve my English skills.

A little bit later, My second brother, Vince arrived. He went straight to the living room and watched television with me and my father. My family is used with the antics of my brother. Performs average in school and has a lot of friends he often went with to play after school. He also likes to tease and bully me but I also made sure I am not at a disadvantage. I also fight with him and never lets him get away with it.

Cynthia soon finished cooking and said,"the food is cooked, come and get the food served in the table."

I stood up and went to help my mother. After the dinner was served, the men of the family went to the table after. But before we can eat, my brother didn't forget to tease me. "It's a miracle, the piglet volunteered to serve the food and didn't tell me to do it. It's seems like the world is changing, " he said teasingly.

I was not the same as my past self that gets angry easily from being teased. I have grown past that stage and I won't fall for the tricks of a child. I thought eventhough I am also a child, well technically, I am a child but sometimes I forget that I am in my younger body.

However, I won't back down and answered wittingly," It's not a miracle if it's me, if it's you it would be. If you're the one who did the serving, it would seem like the world is falling."

Vince was about to answer me when he was interrupted by our mother, Cynthia who said,"Okay, okay, stop the quarrel. We are in front of the food. What you do is eat not quarrel."

And both of the siblings complied and focused their attention on the food. After eating, I took a bath and get ready for bed. But as it's the first night of my rebirth. Sleep does not come easily. As a reborn person with the knowledge of the future and who can change the fate of some important people in her life and especially change my fate, succeed and accomplish my goals and dreams in life.

I was a fan of rebirth stories in my past life. I often read novels and fanfictions about it, with various themes like entertainment, apocalypse, historical and other versions but I also read some things that can somehow be related to my experience. As such I had an idea on the things I have to do. I also researched on some stocks and companies that would make it rich and even remembered lotto numbers. I did that on a whim for a just in case scenario it would happen to me and I often laughed at myself for my stupidity and getting that crazy idea. But then, my rebirth happened and what happens in the future can only be determined with my actions that would definitely change something in my life.

"Hey! Why did you undress?" I said without glancing at him, only to perceive his genuine and humorous laugh. "What happened to you? Why do you look so scared? Oh come on, don't you dare think nasty of me". Again, with his joyful and teasing laughter. I just shut my mouth and ignored him. I focused my glare on the floor, shivering cold in my sopping wet dress. "Didn’t you say you wanted to stay for a while, and that you don't want to go home yet? It's not good for you to stay in your soaked dress for very long. I'm serious, and I don't want you to get hypothermia. So, you better slip off that gown and hang it on the railing to dry a little. Doesn't it feel heavy?" He looks serious, delivering his point. He's probably right, but that seems uncomfortable. Disrobing in front of Ziggy while ogling over his naked body, it feels so awkward to me. He is my best friend, my hero and if there is something that is most important in my life, it is to not lose him. I tried hard not to fall in love with him because they say relationships are complicated, and being in love with your best friend and failing hurts double time. What if it's too late for me to realize that he is more than just a best friend, but really my first and only true love?

He asked as his eyes widened in shock. "I said I like you, Sky, and I want to be your girlfriend," Selena answered, trying to control her emotions, and he laughed. Then, his face turned dark, and she could feel her blood drain from her veins as she looked at the disgusted look on Sky's face. "I thought you were different from other girls; I don't like you more than friends, Selena. Don't expect I have feelings for you because I treat you nicely; in my eyes, you are only my brother's best friend, nothing more, nothing less." Sky replied and walked away from her without taking a second glance.
