1404 Words
Cindy diverted her gaze away from her brother.
"I'm not going to give you my notes till you say hi to Kylie"
Jackson exhaled deeply and took off his sunglasses.
"Hi Kylie, I'm Jackson" he gave a sudden smile and it faded away quickly.
"Happy now" he asked his annoying sister.
Cindy brought out her note and handed it over to him
"thanks" he said and left.
He wore his sunglasses back as he stepped out of the Cafe.
Kylie found herself staring at him as he left.
Cindy snapped her back to reality.
"So, you should hang with us sometimes. It's so fun"
"No, I ha be somewhere now. I mean, I have to study. Catch you later guys" Kylie said and left.
"Guys? I thought we were babes" lily furrowed her eyebrows.
"Shut it girl. There's something special about her" Cindy said sipping from her juice.
.
School hours was over, the students ran out of the school.
Some grabbed their bikes, some entered into the bus. Some used a scooter while some entered into their parents car.
Kylie stood outside waiting for her mom.
Cindy and lily walked pass her.
"Want us to drop you off?"
"No thanks, mom will be here soon" she replied.
"Okay, bye!"
.
Kylie saw her mother waving at her from distance.
She sighed and walked towards her.
.
.
Kylie explained everything that happened to her mom.
She didn't miss a thing at all.
"Why didn't you introduce yourself in the classroom?" Her mom asked as she set up the dinning table.
"It wasn't necessary" she replied brushing her fingers into Moon's fur.
"Well, I don't have a problem with you getting a boyfriend"
"Okay. What's a boyfriend?" She asked.
Sarah sat down staring at her daughter.
"This what I get for keeping you away from the modern lifestyle" Sarah mumbled under her breath.
"I mean you can date whoever you want to" Sarah added to what she said earlier making Kylie confused entirely.
"I don't understand but don't worry, I'll look it up" Kylie said.
Sarah scoffed and continued eating.
.
.
Kylie went to school on her own the next day, she didn't want to stress her mom.
She decided to walk to school, to take a look at her new environment.
.
.
"I'm going mom" Cindy yelled as she ran downstairs.
Jackson was in the dinning room eating cereals with his phone on his left hand.
Cindy walked towards her brother and checked his legs.
"Great, you remember to wear your shoes"
"Shut up Cindy" he yelled at Cindy without diverting his gaze away from his phone.
"You both should be useful for once"
They turned and heard their father's voice.
"What is it father?" Cindy asked angrily.
"You both should be watchful. We need the demigod already. I know she is alive"
"Whatever dad, that's Jackson's thing. Not mine. I'm waiting in the car" Cindy left the house and slammed the door hard.
"Don't worry dad, I'll try look for her. Even if I don't know her f*****g location"
Jackson grabbed his bag and left the house.
"Don't worry too much, I'll talk to him"
His wife came and kissed his cheek.
"Bye hunny"
.
.
Cindy came down from the car with her sunglasses immediately her dad pulled over in front of the school.
As Jackson opened the door, his father stopped him.
"Jackson, if you want to live. Find the demigod and bring her to the head"
"I'll try my best dad" Jackson put on his sunglasses and left the car.
.
Immediately Jackson left the car, the girls started screaming and running after him.
He shook his head and continued walking ahead.
Madison, the cheerleader ran to him and hugged his arms.
"Hey Madison" he greeted without staring at her.
"Hey my love. I just don't get why these ladies will still be clinging themselves to you"
"Well, you are one of them"
Madison stopped walking as she heard that from Jackson.
"Hmmmph"
She scoffed and returned to her friends.
.
Kylie stood in front of her locker arranging some things.
She brought out some chemistry textbook which was heavy.
One of them fell down from her hands.
"Argh" she groaned.
She returned the books into her locker so that she could take the one on the ground.
"Here"
She saw Jackson with the textbook.
"I think you dropped this"
"Yeah, thanks" she said and collected the book from him.
She brushed her hair to the back of her ears and faced her locker.
Jackson left and went beside her.
His locker was close to Kylie's.
He kept his bag and grabbed some textbook.
He slammed the door hard which frightened Kylie.
He left her there smirking.
In class Kylie concentrated, she never knew that Jackson was her seatmate.
She sat in the middle of Lily and Jackson.
"Now, pass this sheet around. You are to submit on Monday. You have less than a week to do that assignment" the teacher announced.
.
"Lily, what does it mean to have a boyfriend?" Kylie found herself asking.
"Boyfriend? It's just like dating someone. Just like David and Tara. Yvonne and Jess. We have a lot of them"
"Ohhh, that's cool" Kylie replied staring round the Cafe. She was looking for Jackson but doesn't know why.
The bell rang, everyone quickly stood up.
"What is it this time?" She asked Lily.
"It's sport time. You should go grab your P.E" Lily stood up and grabbed her bottle water.
"I don't have that" Kylie replied standing up.
"Then go to the principal office"
.
.
"Kylie, you are to join one sporting activity. We have basketball, soccer, long tennis or even the cheerleading group"
"I don't know which to choose" Kylie shook her head.
"It's not a problem. You can go round and check the one of your choice. Next time, you will tell me which one you choose"
Kylie stood up.
"Thank you"
She said and left the office.
.
Kylie found herself on the field. She slowly walked towards the team playing on the field.
She sat on the bench and watched them play.
She never liked soccer. She wondered why twenty men will be chasing after a ball.
"Tch.." she scoffed and left.
She arrived where some students were playing tennis.
"Hmm"
She doesn't like it either.
She heard some screams in the other room.
"Why are they screaming?" She thought and went into the room.
It was the basketball court!
"Seemed like there was a competition"
Kylie murmured and sat in the bench, watching them.
"Welcome students, there is a competition between the female team and the male team. Good game. Sit back and enjoy!"
A man with whistle announced and left.
Both team ran into the court and stood in order.
Kylie sighted Cindy. She smiled and waved at her.
Cindy winked, she seemed prepared for the competition.
She wasn't calm at all. She kept on bouncing and stretching her hand.
Kylie saw Jackson in the male team.
A smile crept on her face.
Suddenly, the cheerleaders catwalked into the court and also stood in order.
Madison walked towards Jackson and kissed his cheek.
Kylie frowned and folded her arms. She leaned on the bench and enjoyed the game.
.
Her gaze met with Jackson's. She swiftly diverted her gaze elsewhere.
The coach blew the whistle and the game started.
The cheerleaders started dancing and cheering. They were cheering on the male team, obviously.
Kylie snorted and cheered on Cindy.
She started laughing when she saw Cindy dribble her own brother.
They played for a very long time.
The female team won!
Kylie ran down and hugged Cindy.
"Wow, you played really well"
"I'm the boss" Cindy replied proudly.
Kylie just smiled in response.
"I'll be back. I need to tease my brother"
Cindy left.
Kylie turned and saw Cindy laughing at her brother.
"Stop it Cindy"
He grabbed his sunglasses and left the court.
"Let's go Kylie"
.
.
As they walked down the hall, female students have Cindy gifts.
"I need a date with your brother this Saturday" the girl said.
"I'll try my best" Cindy grabbed the gift and walked away.
Kylie was confused.
"Is your brother some god that everyone wants to hang out with him?"
"All girls in this school cling themselves to him. They adore him"
"Tch.. not me"
