Episode 5

" Deethra~, lets eat lunch together~ " said Nathan.

We were walking in the hallway. Preparing for lunch.

" Nathan, am busy now... " I replied.

" Huh? 🥺 " his face... weird. " What will you do? "

" I have some paper works to do... and besides, I already ate this morning. " I said.

" But what you ate was breakfasts... you'll get thin if you dont eat lunch. "

" I promise to eat lunch right after I finish my job okay? "

" sigh... Okay fine. But when your free, lets eat lunch next time. " he replied.

" I promise. " And raised my pinky finger.

His face flushed like a tomato when I raised my pinky.

" Come on... it's my promise okay? "

" Okay... " He replied...

And made yet another pinky promise.

I knocked on the office door.

" Excuse me, coming in. " I said.

Next to the table of our teacher is the guy number 30.

" Oh, seems like you've been called too. " he said.

" Uhmm... yeah. Hehe. " I said nervously. Am really not used talking ro strangers huh?

The guy stood up and offered me his seat.

" A beautiful lady like you mustn't stand next to a man sitting. I dont like to look disrespectful to you... " he said.

" Thank you... " And sat on the chair he offered.

" Mr. Shane and Luna... " cried my teacher.

" Yes ma'am? " We both asked.

" You two will be leading the sports event. You two will be responsible for the event. " she said.

...am not used to things like this...

" Yes ma'am... " I said.

" Are we clear Mr. Shane Guzman? "

Shane Guzman....

Do I know him? Why... is the name familiar to me?

Brother? ....

" Yes ma'am. " He replied.

Our teacher left, left the two of us in the office.

" Well, since were partners... Im Shane. What's your name? " he asked.

" Deethra... Crus. " I replied.

Papers fell on the ground.

" Deethra? " he asked. " Do I know you? " he asked again.

My tears fell... a word came out my mouth all of the sudden.

" Nee-chan... " I said

My long lost step brother. Side of my father's mistress. Although things are not clear, my step brother and I, were close.

He opened his arms and leaned forward to me.

We both hugged each other tightly. Tears falling...

" I did not expect you to be back in town. I taught you will stay in Japan and never come back. " I said.

" Well, since I left, things have been hard to me and my mom. We both miss dad and... I also missed you so much. So when I turned 15, I planned to go back and hope to see you again at my next birthday. "

He said.

" Oh, I remember that next Friday is your birthday! " I exclaimed.

" Hehe, I did not expect my little girl to still remember my birthday for such a long time. " He said, patting my head and wearing a big gentle smile on his face.

This smile... only few people in this world, gave me that kind of smile.

Someone shoved Shane's hand away from my head.

" Im sorry but Deethra is not used to physical contacts. "

It was Nathan.

He pulled me and we went to somewhere private.

" You told me you have works to do thats why you dont have time tl eat lunch to me right? " He asked.

" Well, yes. " I replied.

" Then what was that? Who was he, and why did you lie instead to tell me that you'll meet someone? " His face feirce.

" Actually... uhm...."
