Chapter 2

~~He's Coming~~

"Why is he calling you all of a sudden?" Aisha questioned, raising an eyebrow at her.

Musa and Helia were best friends since childhood and knew each other even before meeting us in the middle school. Their mothers were neighbors and friends and because of that their friendship had started but he hadn't called anyone in 3 years,so why now? Why was he calling her after 3 years?

"To know that,I'll have to listen to him" Musa rolled her eyes and answered the call."Hello Helia." She said,venom lacing her. Yup,She was angry.

I leaned closer to the phone to hear what he was saying and shock washed over me when I listened to what he had said.

No no no no no.

It can't happen!

This can't be true.

My heart beat increased and my palms became sweaty. Butterflies danced in my stomach from the mere thought of that. I felt extremely nervous.

What would I do?

He was coming.

Helia knightly was coming.

He was one of the close friend of my brother and because of that I would've to face him but I didn't have the guts to do that but maybe he would ignore me like he used to do in the middle school.

A part of me wanted him to come but a big part didn't because I was afriad of the ignorance. He was my crush and I was scared that he might ignore me. I regretted praying every night for his arrival.

Stupid me.

I wanted to smack myself at the moment.

"Okay ,bye" Musa cut the call and looked at all of us, her eyes dancing with happiness.

"What did he say?"Stella asked curiously.

"He's coming"Musa exclaimed and jumped in the air. And now she was wouldn't be angry? But he was his best friend.

"What?" Again everyone cried except Musa. I winced at their high pitched voice. They were shocked like me but a little less than me. He was my crush for Heaven's sake.

"So,he has finally decided to grace everyone with his arrival" Aisha scoffed.

"C'mon Aisha, you weren't even close to him that much" Tecna defended him.

Why was she defending him?. Aisha was absolutely correct and I was with her. What type of person call their best friend of childhood after 3 years. Was that her importance in his eyes?.

We all started walking out of the and Tecna were walking really fast and behind them were Aisha and Stella who were fighting over something as usual, I may add. Bloom and I were in the end, lost in our own worlds.

Bloom placed her hand on my shoulder,giving me a heart attack. "What are you thinking about?" Suddenly her concerned expression turned into one of amusement. "If you're worried about your crush, Helia Knightly, I assure you that he'll certainly notice you this time-"

"-and I'll make sure that happens" Stella cut in ,out of nowhere. Her eyes shone with mischievous and a huge grin at her lips.

"huh?"I looked at both of them,shocked.

How the heck did they know?No one knew except Riven and he had promised me,he won't tell anybody else but If he had blabbered it, he is dead meat.

"I don't have crush on anyone" I averted my eyes from them and glared at the poor ground. I knew my cheeks were burning from embarasment by now.

"Yeah,yeah"Stella bent down,hands on knees and looked up at me. Her piercing gaze forced me to look at her.

"Now say that looking directly in my eyes" She made a gesture with her hand. My blood rushed to my cheeks, making me look like a tomato. "Flo,I'm waiting".

"Shut up,Stel" Bloom pulled her back by her waist. "Don't tease her" She laughed a little. I was so embarrassed but I'd to ask them how did they know.

I mustered up the courage to look at them and ask that question.I didn't want others to listen that,so I slowed down a bit.

I cleared my throat and started "How do you know?"My voice resembled to a lost toddler.

"Well,We know that because we over heard your conversation with Aisha" Bloom told me,sheepishly.

Oh great.

I forgot my conversation with Aisha which I had last year when me and Aisha were playing truth and dare with Bloom and Stella at Bloom's house, I had to Secretly tell Aisha about my crush and I told her about Helia but I never thought that they would eavesdrop. Thank God Musa and Tecna weren't there but maybe Stella had told them.

"So,you were eavesdropping that day?" I pointed my finger accusingly at them and narrowed my eyes. My best friends had eavesdropped on me. Just wow.

"Sorry,but it was Stella's fault, it was her plan"Bloom blamed everything on Stella.

"Oh,Shut up!You gave me that idea"Stella put a hand up. "Now, where was I?"She said with a sly grin and wiggled her eyebrows at me.

"You were nowhere" I rolled my eyes at her. "We're now in the parking lot and I don't want others to know about this, so can we please drop this topic?"

"But they know already"Stella said innocently,batting her eyelashes.

I started choking on the air and stared at her wide eyes. Bloom also looked at her in shock "You promised me that you won't tell anyone"

"I'm just joking,Bloom. I don't want to die young"Stella winked at us. I relaxed a bit. Stella slang an arm over my shoulder. "But I'm still working on that noticing thing" Her voice changed into a whisper when we reached near our car,where Tecna,Aisha and Musa were standing.

Oh God.

What have I done wrong?

"Mom,I'm home"I said,tiredly opening the main door of my house.

After locking the main door, I stumbled towards the living room where I found my parents watching t.v with Brandon. I dragged myself towards the couch and plopped down next to Brandon.

"Hey",I mumbled,leaning back on the couch and closing my eyes. I was so tired that I could sleep on the floor.

After shopping, Musa took us all to a concert because she was too happy that her best friend was coming back. He was a good friend of other girls (winx except Bloom and Me)too but they weren't that muchclose. Musa then took us to club,where she made us dance like a 's why,I'm hella tired.

"Hey sweetie,Do you want to have something for dinner?"Mom asked. I opened my eyes and looked at her with a small smile.

"No, give me a pillow,please. I'm so tired that I can sleep here on the floor"

"Awww sweetie,Brandon will take you upstairs,right Brandon?" Mom said looking at Brandon.

"Maa,He's not present in this world" My eyes felt really heavy,so i didn't fight much with my consciousness and closed my eyes. I let myself get comfortable on the couch.

Oh my shweet shweet couch. You're so comfortable. I felt like I was in Heaven. It was so comfortable and heavenly.

I was almost asleep when Brandon's word rang through my ears and made my eyes flutter open. "Anything for my baby sister".

What did he just say?

Anything for me?

Really?

was I dreaming?

For the confirmation of that,I pinched myself. I wasn't dreaming but why why was he saying that?. Why was he buttering me?What had he done?. I wasn't feeling sleepy anymore thanks to my brother.

I sat up straight and turned around to face him. I examined his facial expression and I could tell he had done something big this time. "What have you done,Brandon Linphea?"

"Ahhhhh...ummm...it's just..." Brandon stammered but then his eyes fell on something behind me and he became silent.

I arched my eyebrow questiongly at him. He jerked his head to side and mouthed'Mom and Dad'. Oh Snap. I forgot that they were there too. I forced a chuckle to escape my mouth and turned my head to look at my parents, who were both giving us questioning looks.

Great.

"Mom,Dad-"I started but my Dad put a hand up to silence me. I obeyed him and zipped up my mouth. No one wants to mess with an angry Dad.

"Brandon Linphea,fancy telling us what you've done?" Dad asked, his voice low and firm which made me shiver.

"Dad,I've done nothing wrong. I just wanted some help from Flora in my Chemistry test"Brandon told Dad, putting on the most fake obedient expression.

"You sure you haven't made any girl pregnant or something big like that?" Dad eyed him wearily.

Mom gasped loudly and Brandon jaws dropped open.I stifled a laugh at him. He looked so terrified.

"Brandon ,I'm not ready to become a grandmother anytime soon" Mom told Brandon,firmly.

"Mom and Dad,I assure you that I've not that done anything like that and now can we please drop this topic?" Brandon composed himself. He stood up from his place and looked at me. I stood up and leaned at him for support.

"Alright,but stay alert cause I'm going to keep an eye on you from now" Dad warned him. He always get serious.

"Good night ,kids and don't worry about your father,you know how he is"Mom giggled.

Awww. I loved my Mom.

"So,you're trying to tell me that you've ruined Stella Solaria's make-up?"I yelled at him.

Was this guy crazy?He could get killed for this.

I really wished that I could chop him into pieces at the moment. Didn't he know that how overprotective and conscious was Stella about her makeup specially the one which was of her favorite brand?

"Flora, I swear it's not completely my was involved in this too" Brandon ran a hand through his messy hair, pacing around my room.

After we came up from the lounge, Brandon took me straight to my room and when I opened the door of my room, I really wanted to beat the living daylights out of him. Every single corner of my room was covered Stella's destroyed makeup. My heart almost came out of my mouth when I looked at it. Stella, the idiot of a girl forgot to take her stuff with her and look what happened now?.

"Stop pacing,idiot and find some solution " I pulled his hand and made him sit next to me.

"She'll kill me, help me" Brandon pleaded,his hands clasped did he do that in the first place?.

"Where's Riven?Don't tell me he run off and left you alone in this"I stood up to clean up the mess of my room. I was so tired but I couldn't sleep in mess either.

God bless my brother.

"He went to buy new stuff for her and I stayed behind to cover up if Stella came but he hasn't come and it's been 3 hours now" He said,handing me stuff to place them at their the heck were they doing in my room? Brandon had his own room then why did they decide to ruin my room?

A smile formed at my lips. Why don't take some advantage of the situation. "I'll call him and tell him which stuff to buy and in that time can you please give my shoulder's a relaxing massage?" I batted my lashes and sat down on my bed.

"Why not? anything for you but please...just do it fast" He went behind me and started massaging my shoulders.

I dialed Riven's number and placed the phone against my ear. He picked up just after a single ring "Thank God Flora you called,me. Please help us. Brandon and I've done a big-"

"I know everything, tell me at which store you're and what are you buying"I sighed.

"I don't know where I'm.I don't know which makeup to buy and I forgot to bring the broken make-up with me.I'm completely lost" He cried into the phone. I brought the phone away from my loud could this guy speak?

"Listen to me carefully,I'll tell you what to buy and from where to buy but just stay silent" It was going to be so long.

"Thank you Flora,you're the best sister ever"Brandon said,hugging me. I grinned at him.

We covered up everything I guided Riven,he brought everything in 2 hours and gave them to placed her new things in her bag and hid away her broken makeup. I asked them what they were doing in my room and they simply replied that they were going to pull a prank on me but then they noticed Stella's thing and Riven suggested that they should play catch catch with her things and in that process they broke her makeup. They could be so childish sometimes.

I really wanted to kill them and tell everything to Stella but Brandon and Riven promised me that they would buy me plants, take me to shopping, buy me ice-cream and take me to the Carnival.

He stood up from the bed and went to the door of my room. I placed my phone on the night stand and laid down on my bed, looking at him. He opened the door but then turned around suddenly. I furrowed my brows."Good night"He didn't wait for my reply and closed the door.

I switched off the lights and closed my eyes, thinking about all the things that happened was a crazy and long day.

All the thoughts started to blur as tiredness started taking over my body but one thought got picked on by my conciousness. It was about Helia Knightly. He was coming but I didn't had the strength to thought about anything, not even him, so I let myself get pulled in the blankness with the thought of him as the last thought of the night.
