ROSALYN
"Why don't you join them?"
I asked Nicholas who was busy on his phone and was lazily sitting on the couch.
"I'm lazy to play right now."
I wonder is he always not in the mood? as in every day? Or it's just he don't want to talk to me. Maybe that's it.
"Oh... Nico, can I borrow this one?"
I almost burst into laughter but I manage to calm down and just pointed a book out of nowhere. He looks at me and nods.
"You can read anything. You said that studies first, right? Then you can borrow that encyclopedia."
"I didn't know that you can joke."
"I'm also surprised at what did I find out about me last month. When I reach on my conclusion, I just laugh it off."
Huh, what is he talking about?
"What is it?"
I look at him and hug the book. He frowns for a second and nods his head like he just realize something.
"That's a secret."
"That's a shame. I wonder what is it?"
There is a long silence between us so after that, so I focus on the book. After reading two pages of the book, he called me.
"Rosalyn."
"Hmm?"
"Did Allen ask you to go out with him?"
I change my sitting position and look at him. Why is he suddenly being curious about me? I started to read the book again and asked.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Forget it. I think I'm not myself today." Then he stands up and...
"But do you want to know?"
He looks at me and I smirk. Why are you being curious right now huh, Nicholas?
"An honest answer or not?"
"Rosalyn, Nicholas?"
We both look to Aunt Kat who suddenly showed up. She looks at me first then look at Nicholas.
"Are you two fighting again?"
"Huh? No Auntie we are just having a plain conversation."
"Yeah, we are not fighting. What's wrong, Mom?"
"Oh, Rosalyn, Jeff was calling you but you're not answering your phone."
I immediately get my phone and saw five missed calls. I scratch my head.
"I didn't notice, I'm busy talking to Nicholas."
"Hmm. Text your daddy okay? He must be worried about you. He called me just a while ago telling me that they won't be able to pick you up. He was having an important meeting, Alvin too."
"Thank you, Aunt Kat. I'll text Daddy now."
"Rosalyn, is your Daddy acting weird in your house?"
"Nicholas already told me that the last time we do met but my daddies were cool in front of me. I can't say that they do have a problem since they still act the same."
"I see, I think I just misunderstood everything. I must leave you two now, sorry for disturbing you two can now continue your talk."
She then smile and my eyes widened and I shake my head.
"We're already done talking."
"Oh, okay. There is still pepperoni pizza there feel free to eat it when you get hungry."
"Yes, Auntie."
When Aunt Kat left I cleared my throat so I won't feel the awkwardness between us. I really can't tell why he is acting like this. After texting Daddy Jeff, I receive a text that I should be home at 7.
"I want to know."
Nicholas suddenly said it out of nowhere and I was shocked that I made it like I forget our conversation a while ago.
"What?"
I remain my gaze on my phone and sighed. What is he being like this?
"Did you already forget the question I'm asking a while ago?"
"Oh, that one."
I nod and I suddenly realize something. I look at him with wide eyes while he was just there sitting calmly.
"Who are you? I bet you are not Nico."
"Tsk."
"Just kidding. As for your question yes, he did. I don't know what got to him. I still haven't talked to him since that day. And why did you want to know?"
I said and opened the book once again. When I saw him in my peripheral vision he was also reading a book.
"Well, I just notice that you're occupied at that time. After meeting with Allen, I already had a hunch. That's all."
"Hm. Okay."
"Are you done reviewing for the entrance examination?"
"Nope, what about you?"
"Yeah. So, did you already give a thought if you'll still continue studying at Flinton?"
"Still thinking."
"Come to think of I'm still not done reading one subject..."
I look at him and was waiting for him to say the next sentence.
"Yes?"
"Would you like to study together?"
I then I suddenly heard Allen's voice telling me that I like him. Calm down Rosalyn, you don't have feelings for him.
"Sure,"
I said plainly and bite my lip.
"Since the entrance examination will be next Thursday let's meet tomorrow. What do you think?"
"I'm okay with that. You won't try to exams at other universities?"
"Nope, since I'm pretty sure that I'll be accepted in St. Blaire."
"Yeah, I forget that you were one of the three students who got the highest honor. The entrance examination in St. Blaire was earlier than Flinton."
"Then that's good you can take both exams."
"Should I?"
"It's up to you."
"Hmm, maybe I should try."
"Rosalyn!"
I look at Jasmin who called me.
"Let's play."
"I'm not good at online games."
"Are you sure? Aren't you bored there with Nicholas?"
"No, I'm reading a book."
"I see. Come here when you want to play."
"Yes."
When it was already six I already bid my goodbye to them telling them that I need to go home before 7. Aunt Kat then packed three slices of pizza so I could eat it in the car. She even packed some food telling me that I should give it to my Daddies.
"Thank you for today, Rosalyn."
"Thank you too, Auntie."
"Text your daddy that you're on your way, okay?"
"Yes. Bye!"
"Bye, take care."
"Take care, Rosalyn."
"Yes, uncle."
I wave my hands to them.
"Bye, Jas."
"Bye!"
When I got home I didn't eat dinner since I'm already full because of the pizza I eat. The next morning when I woke up I was told by our maids that my daddies left early. It was a boring day for me all I did was eat and sleep the whole day. I wish Thursday will come soon.
"Why did I think that?"
"Rosalyn, where are you?"
I get up and look outside my room and there I saw Dad.
"Thank goodness. Good Morning, Darling."
"Morning Daddy."
"I will go now. I will be coming home late later so eat your dinner and go to bed early."
"Daddy, I want to join Anna she told me that she'll be going to shop for groceries."
"Okay. Just text me when there is a problem."
"And this upcoming Thursday I'm going to the café again. Gotta study my remaining subjects with Nicholas."
"Mm. but I don't want you to go home late, okay?"
"Yes, Daddy."
When he left, I go then realize something. Aunt Kat was right, there is something wrong with them.
"Ma'am, is there anything you would like to add to the list?"
"Let me see."
After checking it I shake my head and gift it back to her.
"Let's go now."
"Yes, Ma'am."
While I was checking the snacks section, I saw a tall man who did drop his wallet. I immediately get it and he still didn't notice that he drop his wallet.
"Uh, Sir."
"Yes?"
When he finally look at me, I smiled at him. He's so handsome like Nicholas. Handsome but likes to frown.
"You drop your wallet."
He looks at it and gets his wallet. He didn't even bother checking the inside of it and just put it on his pocket.
"Thanks."
"No worries. Be careful next time you might not retrieve it."
"Yeah."
"Ma'am are you done?"
Our maid suddenly showed up and look at both of us.
"Miss?"
"Ah yes. Let's get going."
I look at him once again and said my goodbye.
"Is that your friend, Ma'am?"
"No, he just drop his wallet."
"Ah, but he kinda looks like someone."
"Maybe you saw me in him since he has the same features as me. Black hair with blue eyes."
"Right. Yeah, you two look like each other."
"Anyways, let's keep going since the list was long."
I said and she just nod at me. I look at the list once again and started to look for it one by one.
"Hehe, this is sure fun."
