Shoulder the Responsibilities

"Em, are you ready? We are getting late!" Simon shouted from downstairs as he urged his little sister to hurry up.

"Just a moment, Moni," Emily shouted back as she double-checked all her assignments and projects.

Simon cringed at the nickname that his sister had suddenly found for him. He knew that she was deliberately calling him by that name so that he would stop telling her to hurry.

He just sighed and decided to patiently wait for the girl. 

The holidays were over and her school had reopened, bringing a lot of assignments and projects for the students to finish.

It was almost the end of January and Emily had spent the entire month in the company of Jackson, Rylan, and Shane at the SA to complete their assignments and also so that she could continue her defense classes. She barely got any time to focus on the thousands of books on supernaturals that were sitting in the library of SA and were waiting for her.
