Zire's Little Sister

When our class ended, Brian, Shakira, Zire, and I together with X went to the cafeteria. Zire ordered some ice cream, frappe, and pizza. It made Shakira and Brian shocked

"You're a good guy! I mean it!"Brian said and took some pieces of pizza and began to eat her ice cream strawberry flavor. X ordered only coffee and silently drink it. The seating arrangement is like this...

Xean/Shakira/Brian

------------------------------

------------------------------

Zire/ Me

"This is so! Amazing!" said Shakira and take a bite of her ice cream. I took a piece of pizza together with the chocolate ice cream.

"What is this?" I asked Zire, looking at him.

"You don't know what your holding? It's ice cream! An overloaded pizza!" he answered while taking a bite of his mocha ice cream.

"What she meant was, why are you treating them by this lots of carbs and sweets" explained X while drinking his coffee. Zire looked at him and I nodded then turned back to me.

"Because it's really hot, and instead of saying THANK YOU, you keep asking questions," he replied with an irritated face. I looked back at my food then goes to him.

"Well, thanks for this treat, " I said. I take a small glance at him and I saw him smiled.

"Ugh! So cold!" said Brian.

"Brian, you got Brain freeze hahahah!" laughed Shakira.

"Oh, really! Then you've got a face freeze!"

"What a corny joke!" said Zire while eating. Brian glared at him, then she took a small amount of ice cream in her finger then instantly put it in Zire's face. X still drinking his coffee silently, is he always like that? So serious.

"The fuck, Brian! Don't fucking play your food!" said Zire irritated while pushing Brian away.

"I'll go now," said X and stood up. Shakira looked at him.

"Where are you going?"

"I still have my practice.." he said and walks away.

"Okay, take care!" said Shakira but I guess X didn't hear it so she became sad and bit her lip. We noticed it except Zire. So Brian cheers up Shakira.

"Hey, why with a long face? There's a lot of foodies here waiting for you!" laughed Brian to her while putting her right arm to her shoulder. Then Shakira smiled.

"He's always like that, so don't mind him. Maybe because he's tired hearing your loud mouth, Monkey" said Zire to Brian while he's wiping the strawberry ice cream on his face.

"Are you calling me Monkey?" she asked and put her hands in her hips.

"Of course because yo—Hey!" he yelled when Brian put some strawberry Ice cream on his face again that made them laughed except me and Zire. To be honest, some people inside this building are looking at us but I think these two don't care about it.

The strawberry Ice cream on Zire's cheek made him looks like he blushed. I took my phone without hesitation and take some pictures of him, with strawberry Ice cream on his face.

"Wha—? Sapphire?!" said Zire, Brian laughed also Shakira.

"What? You're so cute with that Ice cream so I decided to take some pictures of you" I said then put down my phone.

"No, no, no! Give me that! Delete it!" yelled Zire and instantly came near me just to get my phone, I lifted my hand with the phone to the air. His chair is not quite far from mine, but it made a little slide to the right just to get closer. So I slide my chair on the right side too so that he can't reach it.

"Why? It's really cute" I don't know why he can't get it even though he's tall. Ahh right, I slide my chair so that he can't grab it.

"I said no! That's my order!" he said order? What does he think I am? His slave? He grabbed my left shoulder and stretch his right arm to reach my phone I looked at him, I can even smell his perfume Acqua Di Gio, Giorgio Armani perfume, he nearly gets it when he stopped. My heart stops to beat when I lifted up my head a little, his face only inches away from mine again, I know it's already happened before, but still, I'm not getting used to it.

Maybe this is the reason why He stopped when he realized our faces are so close to each other. I looked at him with no emotions but he looks at me like his examining my face. His eyes are different from mine because his eyes have so many emotions while mine is blank.

Why my heart is not pounding? Isn't it bad?

But there's something weird in me, I can't understand this kind of.. whatever you called this thing inside of me. My heart stops for a sec but later on, I heard it's pounding so hard, so fast, I want to hold my chest to stop it from pounding and to lessen the noise but my body especially my arms won't move.

"Brother Zire!?" we both looked to someone who called him. There's a person who's standing in front of the door. A girl at the age of 12, with blonde straight hair who gives us a shocked face, raising her left eyebrow.

Zire instantly moved away from me stood up and went near to the girl, wearing a school uniform just the same as us but the only difference from us is her necktie is not black, the Juniors wear a greyish ribbon tie. She's a junior high student.

They talked a little and I can't hear them, then Zire looked at us.

"By the way, I need to go! See ya!" he said and rush to the girl and both leave. But the girl keeps looking at me until she is out of sight. Wait, did he already paid this? Well, I don't remember he paid this though...

"Oh my god!" said Brian while showing her shocked face. Maybe she remembered that this food is still not paid for.

"What Brian?" asked Shakira. I was going to say something when Brian speak...

"That little girl called him Brother Zire, so it might be her, Zire's little sister! YES, IT'S HER!" explained Brian. Shakira made a confused look like asking How did you know? Okay, they still didn't realize that these foods are still not paid.

"Remember Zire showed me the picture of her younger sis? That little girl from before an—"

"Ohh, Ohh, I get it!" said Shakira, and Brian nodded. I looked at both of them and they looked at me.

"Did Zire already paid this?"I asked. They both looked at each other until the waiter came and showed us the bill.

{Meanwhile at Zyna's POV}

"Who's that girl?"I asked my older dumb brother while replying to my friend on my phone about our presentation in science tomorrow. We are now inside our Red Limo heading to our home. I really make sure that Zire will join me here in this limo because I don't want to be used to sitting here alone with my driver only.

"Just my friend.." he replied. Psh, friend? Hell no, seeing him so close to that girl. That's a no, no friend only. Maybe friends with benefits.

"Really? But why are you blushing?" I teased when I saw a strawberry ice cream in his cheeks look like he blushes.

"I'm not blushing! It's just an Ice cream.." he said and wipe his face to remove the Ice cream.

"By the way, why did you pick me up?" he asked.

"Nothing, I just want to show you our limo"

"I already saw it! I can't remember when is my last time riding in here–"

"That's the point!" I yelled to him put down my phone above my lap and looked at him with my angry face.

"I want you to know that you have a Limousine that helps you come home instead of walking alone! But still, you chose to walk instead of riding inside our Limo!"

"What is it to you?" he asked angrily too, well I'm used to it, we're always like this. I can't answer him because of my anger filling my head, I just looked at him straight to his eyes.

"Señorita't Señorito, please calm down," said our driver. I just went back to chatting with my friends on my phone and ignored him.

Honestly, I loved my older dumb brother that I usually called Nobita, but sometimes I mean always he is so cold especially in me since dad married a new girl. He became so far from us, during the welcome party he was always inside his room locking himself, then I decided to be mean to him so that he will notice me. That's the only thing I knew... being kind is not my thing, clingy, or etc. I just usually showed it than saying it.

I want us to be back again. Happy liked before even though Mom's not here. I loved my dad and I tried to be good to his new wife because he begged me to call her Mom. I don't know what her attitude is because since our businesses got some problems they decided to come home once a year. And if ever my new mom decided to stay here Aunt Six always take me before she arrives and I stayed in our rest house not far from here but only me, Zire and mom and also Aunt Six knew about it. But when I turned 11 years old, it stops, whenever she's home I decided to stay there with her and my brother, she's not usually staying too long. And she's not bad towards me, but they always fighting with my brother.

I loved my brother, I always do. But I'm not a showy person to tell him that.

{Going back to Sapphire's POV}

"Geez! That bastard! He made us paid that food! And it's really expensive" said Brian while wearing an angry face. We are now walking on the sidewalk, as usual Shakira was picked up by his father. And yes, we almost got broke after paying that.

"I thought, I heard you said he's a good guy, and you really mean it."

"I changed my mind, he's a total bastard and it will never be changed," she said.

"By the way, tomorrow I'll help you find some part-time job"

"Okay, but if you are busy, it's okay for me"

"No, I'm not, it's really boring in my house, so tomorrow I'll pick you up at your house," she said and we are now at a crossroads, it's not hard for us to find a job because after all we're 18 and turning 19. My house is straight ahead while Brian's house is on the left, we separated our ways and say goodbye. I still can't forget what happened earlier, about me back then. Recalling all the details, his face who's so close to me. It made me feel the world stops and every people stops for what they're doing, just like when Shakira sang a song on the rooftop. But this heart of mine.. acts weird.. and it's the very first time that it functions like that...

What is this?
