Isla's Ways

From the way the girl looked at Ethan, Arthur could tell she liked him.

However, she might not be that brave talking to someone she doesn't know.

Her gaze towards Arthur was still filled with curiosity, but she didn't dare speak to him.

"Maria, the show will start now," Ethan told her.

The girl called Maria nodded. After that, she and Ethan went behind the counter where the birthday cake was. The latter took a small microphone connected to a small speaker.

He cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for coming, I'm Ethan, Isla's younger brother and I will be the host."

Seeing the little boy, all of Isla's friends looked at each other, thinking that even if they weren't siblings, their qualities wouldn't differ much.

On average, when they were the same age, they still cried asking for cellphones or game consoles.
