True Friends
1018 Words
"I'm just very happy. It's the first time that I found a true friend like you. Someone who accepted me wholeheartedly," I said while shredding. Then, Sophie hugged me.
"Because you're a good and true friend too," she said but her hugged seems so tight and her arms touches my wound.
"Aaaah!" I screamed in pain and Sophie immediately let go of me.
"I'm so sorry," she apologized.
"Hehe!" I chuckled. "It's alright," I said.
"What if we promised to be honest and keep no secret from each other?" Sophie asked. "It can make our friendship stronger and last forever. That's for sure," she said and I came to think about it.
"We still have a lot of things to know from each other. But I promised not to tell you a lie," I said and we bind our right hand's little finger as a sign of our promises. "I promised" Sophie said and we both laugh.
Then, someone knocked on the door and Sophie opened it. It's the siblings.
"Oh my Glady!" Colin worriedly said and kissed me right cheeks. She sat on the chair where Sophie sat lately while the twins and sophie was standing. "Are you alright now? Did your wound still hurts?" she worriedly asked me.
"Hi!" the twins said in chorus and I just smiled to them.
"I'm alright, Colin. Don't worry, it's just a little wound," I said.
"Little? It's caused by a bullet," Colin replied. "We better bring you into a private hospital so that your wound will be treated better," she said.
"Colin!" I complained. "It's alright, I want to go home now," I said.
"No! You haven't recovered yet," Colin said.
"I can't recover faster when I will just stay here," I replied.
"Sis, just let her if it's what she wanted," Jonas said.
"Alright, alright," Colin said and I smiled at her. "But you will go home with us, in the mansion and not in your boarding house anymore," she said that made me change my mood.
"Colin!" I complained like a child.
"Stop complaining anymore. It's dangerous in your boarding house, you already know the reason," Colin said that's why I can't complain anymore.
"Fine!" I said.
"Good baby girl," Colin said. "We brought some food for you. Eat first," she said and took the paper bag from Johan. "Go and pay the bill for Glady, we will get out later," she told Johan.
"Am I a servant?" Johan asked and shook his head. He then have no choice but to make his way out to the cashier's office.
"HAHAHA!" I, Colin and Sophie laughed.
"I guess I have to leave you now, you're already in a good hands," Sophie said and she come closer to me. "I still have a class. Take care of yourself. Okay?" she said and I hold her hands.
"You too, take care of yourself," I said and she kissed my cheeks. "Bye, sissy!" she said.
"Bye!"I replied and she make her way out.
"She looks so kind. I'm happy that you find a friend like her," Colin said.
"You're right. She is just like you and your brothers, you're all very kind on me. You make me feel that I'm not alone and you're always on my side even the world seems so cruel and never stop sending troubles on me," I replied.
"It's just a test to make you stronger Glady. One day, you will be a great, superhero. Remember that no hero have an easy life but they are very happy to help," Colin said.
"But we are all heroes in our own ways. A simple help to a person is already making yourselves a hero in their hearts. Like you and your brothers, you're my true heroes," I said.
"Oh!" she expressed. "That's very touching," Colin said.
Jonas was here with us in the room but he seems invisible because he is not speaking. I remember how he cared and protected me yesterday. He is very worried of me and even forgot that we have companions that's why we accidentally separated from them. I'm so happy of what he did and I feel like I'm very important for him.
"Do I have dirt on my face?" Jonas asked. I didn't realize that I've been staring on him.
"You seems so quiet," I replied.
"I don't have anything to say," Jonas said.
"Then, why don't you go back to school and attend your classes?" I asked and it made him walked out without any words.
"Moody!" Colin said.
"Did I say anything wrong to him?" I asked Colin.
"Don't mind him. He is just often like that, you have to get used to it," Colin said.
"I know. I'm just curious what made him walked out just like that," I said.
"Why would you care?" Colin asked. "Hey, little girl. Do you have feelings for Jonas?" she seriously asked.
"No!" I immediately replied.
"Joke! HAHAHA!" she laughed at me. "You look so serious. I know you're dating with Johan now," she said.
"Dating? We're still just friends," I said.
"Why don't you answer him?" Colin asked. "My little brother loves you so much. He definitely won't cheat you besides, he will be dead on me if he does that," Colin said.
"I only like him as friend or brother. No more that," I said to Colin.
"Are you sure? I guessed you already have someone on your heart, right?" she asked.
"No one. I don't know," I said because I'm not really sure what to answer.
"Tell me the truth," Colin seriously said.
Then, Johan entered and we fell in silenced.
"Why are you guys so silent?" he asked.
"Is everything done?" Colin asked.
"Yeah!" Johan replied. "The nurse will be there soon. Sis, I'll leave Glady to you now. I'm going to school," Johan said and he immediately went out without waiting his sister to reply.
"Is he like that often too?" I asked.
"No, I guess there's something wrong with him." Colin laughed. "Haha!"
"Do you mean, he heard what we are talking about lately?" I asked.
