Inlove or just admiration?

Miriam, arms crossed, stood her ground, her face a mirror of his exasperation. "Well, we can get to know each other!" she shot back, her voice rising to meet his. "And why are you the one judging me? You dated a man you barely know!"

Ganymede scoffed, a dramatic roll of his eyes accompanying the sound. "We got to know each other! Eventually..."

"That's what I'm saying!" Miriam yelled, throwing her hands up in exasperation. "It takes time, Ganymede! Not everyone's love story starts with a meticulously planned psychological profile!"

"Quit shouting, you two!" an old lady, bent but brisk, shuffled past their gate, shaking her head. "Argue at your house, kids these days... always making a spectacle."

Miriam and Ganymede, caught off guard, watched in bewildered silence as the woman continued her determined walk down the road, her tutting audible even after she turned the corner. A beat of awkward quiet hung in the air, broken only by the chirping of crickets beginning their nightly serenade.

Then, as if on cue, they both turned to each other.

"She doesn't know what she's talking about," Ganymede grumbled, running a hand through his already messy hair.

Miriam scoffed on what Ganymede said, "And you don't either." she replied, Ganymede looked at Miriam with a sharp glare then turned back to look at the sky, the sun was already setting down, "Crap!" Ganymede exclaimed, " mom's gonna be mad!", "Oh shoot!" Miriam replied..

Miriam and Ganymede ran through the woods until...it rained.."Seriously! God Poseidon! Sorry to disrespect you but seriously! At this time!?" Miriam yelled...as she finished saying that, it rained heavier, and the sky got darker, "Great dear sister,Miriam, you made the god of the sea mad." Then, thunderstorms had them appeared after Ganymede said that, "And the God of thunder, good job Miriam" he said numbly(Creator: is this even a word?-) "Oh shut up Ganymede, let's go run before wolves come out!"

...----------------...

After awhile, they FINALLY made it home..their mother,Callirrhoe, was sitting down at a chair..patiently waiting for them and then asked "Where have you two been." Callirrhoe said..in a not so kind..nor worried voice, Ganymede and Miriam immediately looked at their mother and both said a different story at the same time..

Ganymede: " The fruits we bought were rotting and Miriam didn't want them!"

Miriam: "Ganymede met his bf and gossiped!"

After they both said those..they looked at eachother, then they argued,again."You think I'm over reactive!?" Miriam yelled, placing a hand on her chest. "and you think I gossip!? AND taken!?" Ganymede replied..their mother had enough of their shenanigans and just ate her food and went to bed already, not caring if they will hurt eachother, it's normal for her now,it had been happening since they were 5, but they're now 15 and still acting like a child, while, Ganymede and Miriam, they noticed that their mother is now gone, not at the dinner table or living room, they thought she went somewhere else and was lost until..they heard a snore..so they relaxed and stopped arguing(finally),ate and went to bed..
