him and I don’t even know why” she state. “Is it nice to have, you know to be committed?” I ask again.Darn it!

I don’t have any idea about this relationship thingy.

“It depends Sophia, whether you and your partner want to work things out, then yes but if not then maybe no” she smile. “Oh Fantasy, when can I ever experience that love” I pout that makes her laugh. “Yeah, seriously I have a crush on Lyle and I can’t even say that to him” I pout much more. “Well, even though you’ll say that to him your brother won’t allow it” she sighs.

“I just wish for one time I will have a relationship so that my friends won’t left me behind, they keep on having dates while me? I just ended up in my bed studying” I mutter. “I will try to talk to you brother about that” she smiles.

“Talk about what?” we both jump out of bed when we hear Michael’s voice. He’s standing beside the door with Lyle. Did they hear our conversation? I hope not or else I’m going to die.

Chapter Eight

“Ah! That we’re close again but not that best friend thingy” I said. “Y—yeah, precisely” Fantasy added. “There’s really no doubt why the two of you happen to be best friends” Lyle smirks. “Because you two are such terrible liars” Michael added. Fantasy and I stare at each other; giving signals of what should we do next, when. “Look, you caught us; I want to talk to you about Sophia” Fantasy starts and she looks at me but I just nod at her for her to continue.

“Sophia will be eighteen next month and it’s clearly nice if you’ll let her try to be such normal teenage girl” “She’s normal” Michael snaps. “Let me finish” Fantasy snaps back. That’s what you get Michael! I giggle in my thought. “Yes she is but I don’t mean literally, going out with her friends without you being so protective around her is normal too! Let her try to find herself, go out with boys, watch movie, enjoy her senior year” Fantasy said.

“No” Michael said with a tone that you can’t argue “No?” Fantasy and I ask in unison. “Look, I can’t take the risk letting her go out with a dates, she’s my little sister for Pete’s sake. I don’t want her to be hurt just because of an asshole” he said. “Michael, it’s not enough. Yes she’s your little sister but can’t you just try and trust her? You can’t hold her forever!” Fantasy raises her voice.

“Hey! It’s alright, if he doesn’t want then I won’t” I interrupt because I don’t want them to fight over me. “No” Fantasy said and I know that she’s mad. “If you can’t just at least try to be fair to your sister then what the point of us being together?” she added which makes me gasps in horror. “Look, you don’t need to fight over me” I said but I think they didn’t heard me or if they did they just ignore me.

“Hey, Fantasy is that so unfair with my friend?” Lyle interrupts as well. “You know what’s unfair? Michael promised me that if I’ll accept his proposal for me being his girlfriend, he would allow Sophia to go out on a date but he didn’t keep his words!” Fantasy said and which makes me gasps again.

“Am I missing something here?” I said looking both Fantasy and Michael. “Before I agree of being his girl, I ask him if he will let you go out on a date, giving you the freedom you want and he promised he will but in the end he didn’t and he still let me fall for him!” Fantasy said seriously. “Fine” Michael breaks his silence “You can go out on a date, just don’t get upset Fantasy” he said worriedly.

I feel sorry for my brother but on the other hand I’m happy as hell, I can go out on a date, I think. I glance at Fantasy and surprisingly she winks at me and she looks at my brother and said “Promise that you won’t interfere to your sister’s life? I mean going out on a date and hanging out to with those people she wants?” she ask not giving a damn. “I promise, so now can’t you please stop your being so cold?” my brother snap.

I look at Lyle who is looking at me intently, I smile at him but he just look away; what just happen, mate? I shook my head and get caught my attention back when Fantasy started laughing like an idiot. We gave her what’s-up look but she just laugh harder. “Okay, I don’t see something amusing. I’m horrified here, babe” Michael snaps again. Fantasy sigh and hug him “You know babe, you’ve just been prank. Nevertheless, you agreed and promise”

“What?” Lyle and I ask in unison. “Well, it is true that we have some kind of agreement but I lied about making me fall for him because all I know I love him since the day we met” Fantasy smile but Michael is pouting and furious. “Don’t make some damn excuses” Michael grips her hand and led her outside my bed.
“What do you think will happen next?” Lyle mutters. “I don’t know; go follow them if you want but as far as I have now? I am indeed so grateful because I have my freedom to go out on a date” I smile sheepishly. “Just want to give you piece of advice? Don’t date jock guys…” “Like you? Na-ah! I won’t and trust me, guys can’t make me cry” I said.

“Hey, I am not a jock” Lyle protests. “Says who mister perfect?” I said not hiding the sarcasm tone on my voice “I bet you fuck all the girls you’ve been with, you’re not that perfect you know” I smirk looking at his shock face because maybe of what I just said. “You don’t know me, so you better watch yourself” he snaps leaving me behind closed doors.

He might get shot on his ego, and who the hell cares? Yes I like him but I don’t know, maybe it changes now, I hope! Anyway, he already had a girlfriend so why would I bother myself loving him? I’ve decided to take a peaceful sleep for tomorrow is another day.

Chapter Nine

Sea breeze wakes me up from a beautiful sleep, I felt peaceful and happy and I don’t know why. I climb out from my bed and went downstairs, my stomach is becoming silly.

As I arrived, no one is in there and now I’m started wondering. It’s already late and the whole beach house is so quiet. Maybe they’re beside the seashore, I think. So without a second thought I start walking outside only to find out that mom, dad, Michael and Fantasy are having a good time. I roll my eyes and sigh “Hey there sleepy head, good morning” mom greets. I’m not yet used of them, I mean duh! After what I found out yesterday, I need time. “Morning” I respond. “So, you like to eat now?” dad asks. “Nah, I want to take a walk first” I bid.

I was walking on the shore away from my family when I accidentally slip on the rock. Jeez!

I sigh and I can’t even stand up, I was about to call for help when a strong arms grabs me and with that, millions of tiny tingles explode inside me. I don’t need to bother looking at the man because no one can do that to me except Lyle.

“You better watch where you’re walking” he hisses. “I don’t need your help” I mutter. “I have a conscience unlike you” he snaps, I roll my eyes and open my mouth when he swoops me into his arms and carry me like a bride style. “Put me down” before I can’t control myself I mutter.

“You can’t even walk” he snaps and led me to a big rock where I can sit and where the sun can’t burn us.

“I can handle myself, I don’t want to bother you and your girl” I snap and jealousy hit me but he just getting more and more serious. “No one died so cheer up” I mumble “If I didn’t see you there, what will happen to you?” he gazes at me with an angry look. “Can you please stop treating me like a child?” I snap and please go away now!

“So stop acting like one! You need to take responsibilities with your actions Sophia! I’m not always by your side!” he hisses. “I can handle myself Lyle and I don’t need your pity, go back to your girl maybe she needs you more than me” I snap and struggle to stand but unfortunately I failed.

“Nothing will happen if we keep on arguing” he sighs. He’s right though, we keep on barking on one another. “I’m sorry” I mutter. “I’m sorry too” he said which make me laugh. “I know how to admit my mistakes, Sophia” he said and it makes me realize that he called me by my name.

“What happen with the ugly, mean pet names?” I ask. “You told me that I must call you by your name, oh woman! You’re all unpredictable” he raise his brow and shook his head. “Why? You’ve been with so many girls, you don’t know about our first behavior? How pathetic” I scoff in disbelief.

“Who told you that I’ve been with tons of girls?” he asks but now his voice is serious and it’s creeping me out. “I don’t know, but maybe of your looks or things like you being the most popular guy in school and most of the girls would kiss the ground you walk into; I mean you date those perfect and popular girls and yeah, I don’t know” I sigh.

“So I gave you a bad image of myself, wasn’t I?” he smiles. “Sort of” I yank. “Well, I might be one of those popular guys and might most girls kiss the ground I walk into and I might be dating those popular chick but they don’t know I’ve done all of
