Is This Love?

Chapter 2

Book Guy

"Stop it!" I shouted frustratingly to my two brothers who keeps on bugging me since this morning.

"Nah! She doesn't want us anymore bro." Clark chuckled while standing at the back of the sofa where I'm sitting annoyingly. Clark is my older brother and he's so damn ugly. I don't know why there are so many girls falling for this ugly jock. I just don't get it the more I look at him the more uglier he gets.

Clarence walks toward me and sits at the sofa beside me. Clarence is my twin brother, but since I'm the first one to meet this world so I'm older than him. Make sense right?

"Stop it and I mean it." I rolled my eyes and reaches for the remote control.

"You really like this Harold guy right?" Clarence mocked at me and they burst into laughter when I glared at them, what the hell? How did he know?

"I really really like Harold, but it's wrong because he's my best friend huhuhu. What to do?" he imitate a retarded girl and he really looks like a stupid person right now. It's not my voice and it's not funny.

"Damn! Did you just read my diary? You retarded brothers!" I can feel my blood boiling up and I can feel my cheeks are burning but I don't care what I looked like right now. I'm freaking out! They did read my diary!

I'm not overreacting. But as a girl having a diary is really private. It is my treasure. I don't want anyone to touch it, but they just did.

"s**t!" I saw their eyes widened in fear as they take a step back when I stood up.

"Get ready you morons!" I shouted. I can also feel my throat soar. It's really really hard to have these two annoying brothers, they really love to tease me.

"Run!" my two year-old cousin looks happy when he saw my two brothers running in the house like lunatic. He was still eating his chocolates, so that's why he's covered with chocolate on his face and shirt.

They ran outside the garden where mom's drinking her coffee. While running towards them Snow followed us. Snow is our cloud dog, a Samoyed breed that's why he looks like a walking cloud.

"Catch me if you can!" Clarence shouted while twerking his ass to make me more furious. How dare he? My twin really is a gay.

I ran towards him at knocks it down. I sat down at his abdomen while pulling his hair off. Instead of crying he just laughed, while Clark starts to tickle my neck. Snow joined too and my cousin Olly. Snow keeps on barking while licking Clarence's face.

"Wait—, I want to puke." In just a glimpse I took something on my pocket at covers my mouth.

Clarence face became worried while looking at me. "Are you alright, sis?"

I shaked my head. You're a dead meat my twin.

I can feel Clark's presence behind my back while massaging my shoulder to make me relieved. I forced my self not to laugh, they're really worried.

I exaggeratedly faked to vomit and I dropped 'that' thing right into his face.

"Ah! f**k!" he screech like a girl and I also heard Clark's gasped.

I stood up and ran. Good job Corine!

"Corine! Come back here!" I heard his loud and thunderous voice came from the garden. Oh, he's mad.

Harold and I went to the mall last week. We bought a fake vomit and it's really effective. Just look how Clarence reacts, it's epic! The fake vomit we bought, it is a small colored white wrap in a plastic bag. It's disgusting because it has a small pigment of rice sticks on it. It's really cheap! Effective for pranking.

I came back at the living room and sat down at the sofa and starts watching the TV. I stretched out my feet on the center table. This is life. Netflix and me.

"You are not our princess!"

I looked Olly who is standing beside the sofa. He pointed at me.  He's not filthy anymore, maybe mom dressed him up?

"What?" I asked while laughing. "I'm not really a princess."

"Get her!" he yelled. My eyes grew bigger, what does he mean?

I was about to stood up but someone covered my mouth and held my hands at the back. s**t!

"You've been caught!" Clark is laughing like a demon while holding my both hands tied at my back. I saw Clarence smiled like there's something else that he want to do with me.

I tried to kick them but they we're fast to avoid it. I almost shrieked when they lift me up the ground just like a bag of rice.

Both of them starts to tickle every part of my body. I tried to push them away but they are strong. I may looked like a worm that has been thrown by salt.

"Stop it!" I screamed when Clark's hand slips away from my mouth. Olly joined my two brothers while Snow keeps on barking like he's enjoying what's happening right now. "It's not funny anymore!"

My life is really miserable!

I lied down at my bed while having a staring contest at my ceiling. It's really boring! But it's a good boring, no more brothers.

I felt my something vibrated. I reached my phone and read the text.

5 new message:

Harold Jiminez

Why is he texting me?

FROM: Harold Jiminez

Where are you? I'm already here.

Shoot! In just a glimpse I ran to the closet to pick some clothes. I don't even know what I picked, but really Corine? Did you just forgot?

When I got to the mall, I already saw Harold seating near the Bookstore.

I smiled while walking towards him at sat down.

"I'm really sorry." I lowered my head while biting my lips.

He looked at me smiling like an angelic person. Even though his hair is messy he still looks good. He messed my hair while smiling handsomely.

"I know, you forgot. You're always like that, that's why I keep asking you to pick you up." he said while smiling.

My face turned red while looking at him.

"Let's go!" I stood up and enters the bookstore to avoid his gazes that keeps my heart beats faster.

While looking at some random books in the store, he points at the painting department. I smiled and nod my head as he went there happily. I know he loves art, just like me.

While looking at the books and took a gaze at the stranger beside me. I noticed we are reading the same book.

"Uhm, do you like it?" I asked the stranger.

My jaw fell when I saw the stranger beside me. He's tall and has a fair skin. His hair is pure black and it's long just like some Korean idols the Jen really loves to talk about. His eyes is very dark and mysterious, it is so deep and he has a narrow nose and thick pink lips.

I'm being star struck! I noticed he's wearing my favorite band too! 

"Yeah." He said in a baritone voice as he looks at me intently.

I swallow a big lump of saliva because of his stare . But he looks familiar?

"Corine, do you like that book? Let's go!" Harold's head pops out on the book shelves, he's tall too.

I blinked twice and took a glance on the stranger beside me but he's already walking away. I puffed my cheeks and clings on Harold's arms as we bought some books.

We went to the Ice cream parlor. Our favorite spot!

"Hey, you know what? That stranger back there? He's really familiar." I said to Harold while eating his favorite ice cream flavor matcha.

"Hmm." He just nod at me while eating his ice cream and busy pressing on his phone.

Seriously? I'm really curious. What is he doing? Why is he so busy always?
