Ailee gave her a warm smile and then accepted her handshake saying, “Hi Eve, my name is Ailee Sparks and it’s my honour to make your acquaintance,” She did a bow.
Eve chuckled at her gesture, “You know, you’re not what I expected you to be,”
Ailee gasped dramatically, “I’m not? What were you thinking of me then?” she inquired.
“I don’t know,” She shrugged, “Well, I heard a lot of stories about you and how you all come from a powerful family. I thought you would be worse than your brother, Allen. Moreover you didn’t seem to like me initially,”
“Oh,” Ailee was stunned, the girl did discover her cold reception,”Well… ” She scratched the back of her head, wondering what excuse she could come up with. However, the serious look on Eve’s face made her think otherwise.
“I thought you were interested in my brother,” she confessed.
“What?!” Eve looked as if someone just threw shit on her face, “What would you even think that? No offense, Ailee, but your brother is an asshole,”
“No offense taken,” She said and went on,”But you sat beside Allen when you could have taken the seat beside me,”Ailee revealed the truth.
“That’s why you decided you didn’t like me?”
“I just thought you were the same like the others girls who threw themselves at my brother and was jealous over the fact that I lost a potential girlfriend,”
“That was the reason?” Eve laughed at her.
Ailee’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, she never knew how childish her action had been until now.
“Hey, the only reason I sat beside Allen was so my brother could have a chance with you,”
“W-what?” Ailee choked on her saliva. No way, that can’t be true. Eve was pulling her leg right, or maybe she was just saying this to cover up her own motive at approaching her brother.
But then, what if she was telling the truth? Oh God, her heart missed a beat.
The third point of view:
“Tell me you’re pulling my leg,” Ailee didn’t want to admit it, it was too embarrassing.
“Why would I pull your leg?” There was a twinkle in her gaze, “Have you forgotten that the both of twins and can sense each other’s emotion?”
“Yeah, you’re twins indeed,” There was a hint of sadness in Ailee’s tone as she imagined she and Allen could have done so much together.
Eve didn’t even notice the sudden change and went on, “The instant he came into the class, his gaze landed on you and like those soapy scenes in soap operas, he couldn’t take his gaze away – all of this happening in slow motion,” she described dramatically.
“And you would make a good script writer,” Ailee rolled her eyes.
“I’m serous here, my brother has the hots for you or don’t you find him attractive?” Eve questioned her.
Ailee gulped, this girl would be the death of him.
“Well, he’s fine,” Ailee said.
“Really?” Eve was not satisfied by that answer, “Just admit the fact that my brother is hot, Ailee. This face..” she waved her hand over hers, “has got so many men drooling,” Eve hinted that her brother was as gorgeous as she was because they shared similarities.
And did Ailee forget to add, she’s a narcissist as well. A woman who knows her worth, how nice.
“Fine, he’s hot,” she added immediately knowing how proud Eve felt right now, “But that doesn’t mean I like him,”
“A-ha?” Eve gave her a knowing look.
“What?” Ailee found it a bit annoying that her new best friend could read her.
“Really? I caught you staring at him that day at the parking lot,” the girl was not giving up anytime soon.
“Fine,” Ailee took the seat beside Eve and faced her saying in a lowered tone, “Your brother is hot and totally my type and I’m crushing on you. But then I’m a pathetic little virgin who hadn’t even gotten her first kiss and it’s all because of her brothers who made it their life goal to never see her date,”
“Oh, that’s huge,” Eve still didn’t take her serious even after her explanation.
“No, you don’t understand, Eve. My brothers would bully him to no end till he gives up on me,” this was the main reason she had not given the idea of she and Theodore together much thought. She didn’t want to be disappointed like the other times.
However, even with that, Eve only smiled and that made Ailee more confused. She was suposed to be scared and then discourage her brother from chasing after her.
But the girl declared instead, “Then you’re in luck, my dear, my brother can surely hold his own,”
“Eve, you don’t understand -“
“No,” Eve countered and cupped her face, holding it in place as she said, “You’re the one who doesn’t understand. No, you should be the one that’s scared because once my brother has his eyes on you, he can never give up,”
Ailee swallowed a lump down her throat, she was dumbfounded while her heart was beating too fast. This was the first time someone was boldly declaring her affection for her, and this would be the first time she dated – if things went well.
Oh God, she didn’t know what to do. Anxiety mixed with anticipation filled Ailee and she began to tap her feet, unable to relax any longer.
Everything was new to her. She wanted to date immediately but at the same time, she wanted to withdraw into her cocoon where she was safe – and single. Many things could go wrong and yet end well at the same time. God, she was going crazy with thoughts.
“Geez, calm down,” Eve noticed her anxiety, “Just chill, Ailee. It’s not like you’re dating my brother immediately,”
Oh yeah, Eve was right. She was not dating Theodore immediately and there was no need to panic – it was just dating, right.
“By the way, want to sit beside me?” Ailee invited her.
“Sure,” Eve accepted happily, “I failed to sit beside you the first time, I won’t the second time,” she was happy to oblige.
Ailee was happy as she took Eve by the hand and led her directly to her seat. From now on, she had a partner who would stay by her side all the time. If only her brother doesn’t take her away.
“Promise me one thing,” Ailee said out of nowhere just as the girl was beginning to settle down.
