Peach and Siren

Chapter Four

"Siren, I'm hungry, how about we go and eat?" Peach said in a whimpering tone while they were strolling.

"Then,eat. Why do you need to brin me with you?"

'I want to go home and be away from this load of individuals.'

"In any case, I don't want to eat alone. Come eat with me."

She moans, settling the score more irritated. "I told you-"

"Oof!"

Before she could even complete her sentence, Peach out of nowhere finds her because of the amazing crowd of people heading the opposite way. The little corridor became so busy and out of reflex, she wraps her arm on Peach's waist as she attempts to cover her on other people.

"S-Siren..."

"Wouldn't you be able to walk quicker? There's so many people, don't stroll like you're at the park." She reproves as she strolls quicker, snatching her all the while. Peach goes calm until they passed the jam-packed foyer. They're currently at the food court.

"That is no joke." Peach remarked.

"Huh?"

She gazes toward her and grins. "I can hear your stomach protesting."

Siren then, at that point understood that she's still and actually embracing Peach so she releases her promptly, nearly driving her away.

'Why did I do that?'

All things considered, Peach can't erase the grin on her face as she never left her sight.

"Where should we eat?" She asked as she glanced around.

"I told you, I'm not-" Her words were halted by the noisy meandering aimlessly at her stomach.

'Really? Now?'

Peach laughed gently. "How about we go eat there." She doesn't have the opportunity to fight when Peach holds her by the arm and pulls her to a cheap food chain.

-

Siren drowsily thuds down on the bed, her energy getting depleted.

'I'm just glad it's finished. I'm so never going out weekends anymore'

She heard the door opening however didn't try peeking to see who it is. It's just her and her sister who lives there, anyway.

"Hey, how's your shopping?" Her sister, Sorelle asks as she sits adjacent to her while smacking her butt as a hello. She just groaned as a reply. She simply feels too drained to even consider talking at this moment.

Sorelle remained silent and began sniffing her. She pivots and drives her face away.

"What's going on with you? Are you a dog? Stop it!"

"Did you... change your perfume?"

"Huh? I don't wear perfume."

"Really?" She inclines nearer again as she sniffs on her shirt. "But, you smell like flowers."

"What..." She sits up and begins smelling her clothe. And it's true, it for sure smelled decent. Like a flower. She then, at that point recollected what she did before, embracing Peach as they attempt to escape the jam-packed shopping center.

Her face lights to fire up as she could only fully understand what she did earlier.

'I... I embraced Peach. That s why her perfume lingered on me.' She covertly smells her clothes once more. 'She smells like a flower.'

"Oof! What was that for?!" She shouted in shock when her sister smacks her in the head. "What's wrong with you?!"

"You're behaving like a moron. It's disgusting."

"What?!"

"We have a similar face so it's irritating to see you looking like that." She then, at that point taps her cheeks delicately.

"What same face are you saying, you're uglier than me!"

She sneers as she stands up and goes after the door. "Really? Then, this ugly will not prepare your food. Go pass on in hunger then."

"As if your food tastes great!" She likely didn't hear what she said as she already left the room. Siren thuds on the bed once more.

And, as if on cue, She remember what she did before. It's as if Peach was still in her arms, embracing her.

She shakes her head brutally trying to erase that idea.

'I should change my clothes'

She goes after her closet and snatches a clothe. She smells it once again prior to removing it.

'I must' ve been crazy'

Monday

Siren lays her head on the table as she pays attention to Lea and Hana talking haphazardly.

She could feel her heart avoiding a thump when she smelled that scent. The scent that never left her memory since last weekend.

"Good morning!" She greeted happily.

"Good morning, Peach!" Lea and Hana greeted back all the while prior to keeping prattling once more.

In the mean time, Siren's pulse settles the score quicker when she felt Peach sitting close to her, smelling her scent much more.

'Since when did she wear that perfume? It's getting irritating.'

"Good morning, Siren." She recoiled in shock after hearing that.

"S-shut up."

As if expecting it, Peach would just snicker at her. She could envision her face at this moment, all smile and happy.

She shuts her eyes and takes a deep breath while her pulse stays as before.

'So irritating. Tsk.'

-

The class has finished yet they all stayed after class to chip away at their plan for the school festival. They all work up in group, with Siren, Lea, and Hana toward the side of the room cutting shapes on the crepe papers.

"How long are we going to do this? I want to go home." Hana whimpered and halted what she's doing. "My hands are hurt."

"Me as well. I want to go home." Lea favored prior to looking at Siren who looks so serious at cutting papers at this moment.

Minutes after that, she stops and drops the paper and scissors. "I won't do this anymore!" She shouts and holds up.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Outside. Call me when you guys are done and let's go home."

Siren was already out of the classroom before they could even voice out their dissent.

-

She smoothly sits at the school building's stairs, at the steps while gazing upward at the skies. She feels invigorated after seeing the sky brimming with stars.

'I want to go home. Until when do they think of doing it?'

'Hold on... That smell again...'

She glances around and sees Peach behind her.

"Amazing, the sky looks pretty this evening." Peach said as she sits adjacent to her. Siren could just gaze at her, her heart pulsating so quick.

'Why is it that every time I look at her, my heart reacts this way?'

It settles the score more awful when Peach gradually pivots, their eyes meeting.

It seemed like the world stopped spinning with just her and Peach moving. She's amazed at how stunning Peach's hair is being gently swayed by the breeze and the manner in which her expressive eyes take a look at her.

'There should be something wrong with me.'

"You're really beautiful, Siren."

"Huh?"

She promptly stands up and attempts to move in an opposite direction from her.

"S-quit mocking me. You just want me to say it back."

"Say what?"

"T-that you're pretty."

"Really? Thank you, Siren." Peach streaks her unique sweet smile that she feels her face catching fire rapidly. She then, at that point acknowledged she became involved with her snare.

She scowls at her consequently prior to pivoting and strolling back to the classroom. Peach gazes at her in surprise.

"Oh, you're truly adorable, Siren." She murmurs to herself as she returns to the classroom as well.
