Young Love - Chapter 6 - Start of Something New


Jeanne, having finished all of her assignments, laid down on her bed only to hear her phone ringing. She received an SMS.

Hey Jeanne,

It's me, Lyserg. What are you doing there? Mind if we text for a while?

Having no other else to do, Jeanne decided to reply.

Hi there Lyserg,

Nothing, just laying in bed. . . Not at all.

Lyserg was pleased when he saw her name flash on his phone. He immediately read it and replied.

Jeanne,

Great then. So, any topic?

Lyserg,

I got nothing. . . Wait, I do . . . How about your love-life?

Isn't this a bit too personal,though? Jeanne thought , Oh well, Lyserg's nice. I'm sure he won't mind. And with that happy thought, she sent her message.

On the other line, Lyserg blushed, and typed.

Jeanne,

Well, honestly, I like a girl, but I think she doesn't feel the same way.

As she read , intrigued, she smiled maliciously.

Lyserg,

So, who's the lucky girl?

Jeanne,

You know I can't tell you that!

Lyserg's face turned as red as a tomato's. They bugged each other until a notification appeared in Jeanne's phone.

SENDING FAILED. CHECK OPERATOR . . .

Jeanne, her eyes wide as she read, screamed,"WHAT THE HELL?!"


Meanwhile in Dwayne's mansion


"Hey . . . Long time no see," Yoh was busy with his headphones as he laid on the sofa to say much to his big bro.

Zeke's eyes widened and he yelled to his twin," Aren't you supposed to be in AMERICA?!"

Yoh just gave him his usual carefree grin and calmly said," I'm visiting you. Can't you be happy?"

"NO! I couldn't be happy because if DAD finds out you're here, and not there managing the business there in America, then we're both dead!" Zeke, again, yelled to his twin. What else could he do? He was so pissed in the morning with that new green-haired kid and now he's gonna have to deal with his almost-good-for-nothing-twin !

"Why don't you just relax,kuya?* There's nothing more you can do," Yoh said as he got up and reached for something in the table.

Zeke just rolled his eyes.

"Kuya, answer me honestly, are you in-love?" Yoh fiddled with the thing he's holding while Zeke sat on the couch, pulled out his book and, without looking at Yoh, muttered," No. I'm not"

Yoh smiled and shook his head. "Aah. Kuya is lying."

"I'm not."

"Oh yeah? Then who's this?"

Zeke looked at what his brother was holding and his eyes widened with horror. Yoh was holding his sketchbook and what he was showing him now was a beautiful drawing of a girl about 13.

"YOH DWAYNE, GIVE IT BACK!" Zeke charged at him but Yoh was fast. He dodged his twin's attack and ran. And so they played tag like little kids. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Zeke got his sketchbook back.

"So, who's the girl?" Yoh asked wearing his grin.

"Isn't it obvious? My girlfriend," Zeke said smirking, and he turned to leave.


AHCHOOOOOO! Jeanne sneezed as she got ready for bed. Someone must have remembered me, she thought. Oh well, good night! I have a huge day ahead of me tomorrow.


The next day


"Lyserg, I'm sorry I didn't reply last night. I ran out of load. Sorry," Jeanne said with her hands together as if she was praying.

"Hey, its fine. I was actually sleepy then," Lyserg told her.

"Anyways, who's the girl?"

Lyserg's face showed traces of blushing and said," As I've said I can't tell you."

"Come on. Just tell me about her," Jeanne pleaded.

Lyserg smiled and turned to face her. "Okay, she's smart, I think. She's beautiful, lovely, amazing and fun to hang-out with."

"Uh huh," Jeanne nodded," Well? Go on, go on."

"Okay okay. . . Let's see, it's like when I'm with her, I feel so alive. . . " Lyserg told her more and more about this girl he liked. His eyes never left Jeanne and would smile sometimes when he paused. Jeanne noticed that his eyes were sparkling as he talked.

Meanwhile, on the other seat, Zeke was listening attentively. Not to their president's announcement but to Jeanne's and Lyserg's conversation.

" . . . who could ever turn down a great guy like you?" he heard her say. Great? What's so great about him? Zeke thought.

" . . . yeah, you're cute, honestly speaking, and you're also fun to hang-out with." He heard her say while laughing. In his mind, Zeke was thinking hard, Cute? Fun to hang out with?! I'm a million times cuter and more fun than this guy! He shook his head, what am I doing?! Focus Zeke, focus.

But he couldn't focus no matter how he tried. He always found himself listening to their conversation.

Stop it now, stop it, Zeke scolded himself, ah. there's the teacher. Good. Now at least I have a good reason not to listen to that talk their having.

It continued like that for the next few weeks. Until one day,

"Jeanne, wanna go out with me?"
