"Are you ready?"Roxie gives her youngest niece Tilly a competive look.
Tilly gives the sameone back to her auntie, with a much more determined facical expression"I was born ready!"
"Good, ready...set...GO!"Roxie turns to the television as does Tilly as they hold onto their game controllers ingaging in a racing game.
It was the weekend, meaning no school, no nothing really. Though it did mean that your auntie and sister would be on the game system pretty much all day, challanging the other in what they call "Video Gamers Olypmics" a sport they came up with all on their own to see who was best gamer out the of the two of them. They had tried to get you to play or at least be one of the other's cheerleader, you just turned it down. Not a big fan of what they did, though at times they would find a way to get you to join with them.
While they started their weekend, you where in the kitchen getting some snacks prepared because your auntie had informed you and your sister they the three of you would be having guest. Someone from her job who she was over would be coming here, along with another. Seeing how your auntie was more into her games then being a good host. You took it upon yourself to get things together, you had already cleaned up the house, orgainzed everything and now you where making the snacks. You were not sure if the company would be staying till lunch you had it ready anyway just incase. You set a nice place for your auntie and her worker to talk and work. You even had her clothes set out so she would at least look her part, but your auntie did not even bother to change. She was in her comfortable, as well your sister. Those two where the same, your auntie rubbed off on your sister much more then you. Though you loved them both, they could at times give you a headache.
You hear them all the way from the kitchen really turning it up in there, neither one was backing down. As you icied some cupcakes, the doorbell rang. Knowing your auntie she was to busy or to say to invested into her game to go to the door. Sighing to yourself, you wash your hands straighten yourself up, before you go to the door. The doorbell rang once more, you hurry to the door.
You put on a welcoming smile as you open it up"Hello, and welcome."you smile at the guest.
"Serena?"a too familiar voice calls to you.
You look and see to your surprise Guren standing at the front of your door, along with man whom you assumed was his father. Guren was a bit surprised to see you here, as where you.
Mr. Nash looks at his then to you, he just smiles. He steps in breaking the stare you both had on eachother"Hello, I'm looking for your auntie Miss Smith."
Your auntie who was so invested in her game, some how heard what Mr. Nash called her. Her ear twitches at that. She groans loud enough for everyone to hear, as she marches her way over to the door. Pushing you out the way, as she angerly looks at Mr. Nash who felt it coming from her, as he backed away.
"I told you, don't call me that!"she snaps at him with a low growl"I'm not my mother."she agressively grabs him by the collar of his shirt"Call me either Roxie or Big B!"
Mr. Nash just nods his head with a weak smile"Yes, of coruse, sorry Roxie."he tells her.
Hearing that, your auntie lets him go and changes her attitude to her normal overly friendly one"Much better."she smiles big at him"I'm glad you came, I was starting to get worried."
"Your welcome, I brought the schematics, like you asked."Mr. Nash tells her, holding up the long rolled up papers he had under his arms.
"Wonderful,oh"Roxie looks at Guren, she gets to his level"you must be his son. He talks about you, hello I'm Roxie Smith. Serena"s auntie"she introduces herself.
"Hello, I'm Guren Nash"Guren holds out his hand respectfully to her, with his infamous smile.
"Well, aren't we the gentleman."Roxie goes and shakes his hand, she come back up"Well come on in."she tells them as they come in, you shut the door behind them. Guren and his father follow Roxie to where Tilly was"You two just came in time. Oh, this my other niece Tilly. Tilly say hi."
Tilly turns and looks at them, she was still dressed in her pjs a big blue shirt with a kitten face on it. Tilly smiles at them"More players!"she quickly grabs some controllers and thrushes them into the hands of Mr. Nash and Guren. Catching them off by surprised."The teams are even now! Your on me team!"she pulls on 's arm, dragging him with him. He quickly puts his schematics down. He could tell she was just like her auntie.
"Great then, you're with me."Roxie placecs a hand on Guren's head. He jumps a bit, as he looks up at her, her friendly face wasn't there any more. It was more deadly with a grin to match."We're going to crush them, in the ground."
Hearing those words Guren just smile fearfully"No, we will crush lower then the ground!"Tilly tells her auntie sticking her tounge at her. Roxie gets in the face of her niece, as they butt heads, sparks fly from their eyes.
"..."Mr. Nash and Guren just stand there.
You come over to them as you place some snacks down on the coffee table, Guren notices you out of the corner, even if you where trying to be quiet as possible.
"Hey, Serena are you going to join."he asks you.
You jerk up and look at him"No, I don't play."you tell him as you avoid his look"Here are some snacks...enjoy"you tell him and , you then go and retrive Mr. Nash's items and take them elsewhere. Guren just watches you, but Roxie called his attention back, as she pulls over to him and Tilly did the same, to his father.
As the others played the game, you made your way upstairs back up to your room, not your room but a library that your auntie had built for you that was stocked with up books, along with a picture of your parents that was set on a nice stand right next to your window couch that was also built for you. It reminded you a great deal of your father, in your old home years ago your father use to read to you in his study on his window couch. IT was one of the best times with him, he would read all kinds of books to you. Which is where you recivied your love of books from.
As you indulge yourself in your reading, time always went by fast for you. Your mind always wondered greatly, no matter what. While you read, it was so quiet something you liked. Though one thing was missing from your library, it belonged to your dad. You just sigh to yourself.
"Is that a good book?"Guren asks, you jerk up from your reading as you see him standing there at the door he gives you a small wave.
You sit up from your spot"Do you need anything?"you asks him.
He shake his head no"Can I come in?"
You nod your head yes, he comes over to you as he looks around the library"You really like to read. Have you read everything in here?"he asks
"...Almost..."you tell him"Reading...is something I like."
"I can see, your auntie and sister are pretty fun and funny. And a bit crazy."he admits to you.
"Yes they are. I didn't know your father worked with my auntie."you tell him.
"Small world right, you look nice today. I'm so use to see you in your dress. I've never seen you outside of it."he tells you.
You flush at his comment, it was true you where not wearing your normal attire, instead it was a simple floral tank top with your yellow ribbion still tied on the strap of the of shirt with kapris pants and sandles, your hair was clipped up. It was the weekend as well you where having guest coming over.
"Oh...thank you"you tell him, you didn't know really what to do with him being over at your home. Never have you had people over your home, from anywhere. And now you did, you knew how to be a host, having read up about it as well when Tilly had her birthday parties. Something you never had, due to how you where. Now the tables had turned with you having someone from your school here.
"So what do you for fun?"he asks you.
"...Nothing...really"you tell him.
"Really? There has to be something you like to do?"he asks you. He turns and looks around at your backyard, which was just as equally as nice"Let's go outside?"he thumbs over his shoulder.
"I..."you clam up. Not sure what to say, but realized hew as the guest and it was the right thing to do"Ok."you agree with him. You go and place your bookd back, while Guren looked around, when his eyes landed on the picture of your parents, your father had your hair color while your sister had your mother's but both you took your mother's eyes. They looked lovely together and very happy. It was a sweet picture of your parents.
You come back over to him ready, he looks at you"Alright let's go."he tells you.
"We can go out, this way."you tell him, takaing him over to the door that led to the back. He follows you, outside.
"Oh, wow your yard is so nice."he tells you looking at the lushes colors that allumiated all around. He couldn't help but smilel at everything around him, it was like nature itself painted a picture of itself or he had found the lost garden of Eden. Everything was so rich here, and smell was just so heveanly, the animals seem like something out of a fairytale."Who did all this?"he asked you.
"Oh, well...me and my sister."you tell him.
"Your just full of surprises. There's more to you then others say."he tells you.
"Really?"you look at him.
"Sure there is"he tells you"You're really talent"
You couldn't help but smile at what he said"Did you know that most of these planets can make really good tea."
"..."Guren looks at you smiling"No, I didn't know"
You go over to him"Rose petals can be used for tea making, as can mint. They taste really good together"you tell him
"Have you made tea before?"he asks you intrested.
You smile nodding your head"Yes"
"I would like to try some one day. If that's ok"he tells you
"...Really?"
He nods his head"Yes, it sounds really good."
"...ok"you tell him"Now these plants over here make really good medicane and remdies."
"Really?"
"Yes, there have been times I've used them for Tilly when she was was sick or injured herself."
"Who would have thought nature was filled with a lot."Guren
"Everything is"you tell him as you bend down and smell a flower"Over there is a bee's nest."you point to it.
He looks and sees it hanging on one of the trees"Do you get honey from there?"
You shake your head"No, but it's nice to watch the process with the bees."
"It's nice to hear you talk, Serena"Guren tells you
You look at him, he just looks back at you with his smile, you go red"..."as you look away.
"Oh, no there's nothing wrong with that, I like hearing you talk. It helps me to get to know you much better."he tells you placing a hand on your shoulder, you tense up from his touch. You drop your head, he saw this"Hey are you ok?"
"...Guren..."you call to him
"Hmmm?"
You bit the lower part of your lip"What is it?"he asks you.
"...A-are we really friends?"you asks him.
"...Y-"before he could say anything, something started to beep and glow from his pocket, you noticed. It was strange to you.
"What's that?"you asks him, as you curosity took over as you go over him.
He knew what it was as he steps back from you"It's nothing really"he tells you defenseivly."But, I've got to go." With that he takes off back into the house, leaving you outside.
After Guren left, you just went back to reading, you stayed away from the others only coming to make sure everyone was fed, by that time your auntie had stopped playing her games, Tilly was sleeping, while Mr. Nash was able to get started on what he came to show and talk about with your auntie. He stayed until lunch, which you had prepared for them, he was amazed by your cooking, and apologized to you for Guren just leaving. Though you brushed it off saying it was ok.
Mr. Nash left around late afternoon, your auntie decided that she would clean up, while you went upstairs and worked some more on your group project, you where drawing the details of what you would really want the booth to look like as well what the guys would like. Tilly though came into your room, with Pocky in mouth, she always just let herself in your room. Spoting you over at your desk, working she slowly goes over and pops her little head over your shoulder.
"...Is that your booth?"she asks
"Yes, what do you think?"she move over to show her, she bites down on another Pocky.
"I like it, but where is something you like? There is nothing that shows things about you."she noticed, as she huffs.
"A good friend puts others wants and needs before their own. Chapter four explains that. So it's ok really."you tell her.
She gives you an annoyned look, using the Pocky in her hand she points right at you"That makes no sense!"she uses the Pocky stick to point at your design"You should have a say in it as . Sometimes you're way too nice. It's not fair."
You give her a pleasent smile, even though she can be blunt your little sister just wanted the best for you."Thank you Tilly, but it's alright really."
"It makes no sense you have to do all this just keep friends. Bad that Mr. Nash's son left. And he seem to really like you. That is not a friend, he should have taken you with him. Friends don't leave friends behind."she crosses her arms frustrated.
You just laugh a bit at her reaction."He better say he's sorry."
"...Tilly"you go and tackle her to the floor as you hug her tightly. She started to laugh, and you joined her.
Your auntie who was still cleaning heard the two of you laughing, she smiles to herself as she puts the dishes away.
The weekend came and went, your auntie dropped you off at school and you just went to the library only to be surprised at who was there. It was Guren. He was here early, as he stood with his back on to the wall. He heard your footsteps, and turns to look at him.
He had guilty all over his face, he stands up straight and meets you before you reach the door."Serena, I'm soo sorry I just left like that yesterday. I wasn't board at all with you, I just had something really important to do, and that's why I left. I didn't mean to leave you alone. I really did enjoy our time together."he tells you in one breath, as he exhaled in and out. He then quickly grabs both of your hands in his, which startled you"I really meant it, I'm really sorry..."he looks at you straight in your eyes, which projected how he felt. He waited for you say something, his eyes where searching your eyes. You didn't know what to say, no one has ever done this before to you. You where use to saying sorry not having someone else saying it. His grip on your hands grew tighter as he waited for you say something.
So you just nod your head slowly yes"..."
"Thank you."he tells you embracing you in a hug,which also took you off guard. He let's go of you as he looks at you, he had on his normal friendly calm face. Your's reture back to normal as well.
"Did you...really come to school...this early to...tell me that?"you asks him.
"Yeah, I did. I couldn't sleep last night after what I did. So I wanted to make it up to you. Infact I was wondering if I can make it up to you after school. What do you say?"he asked you.
You search his face to see if he was lying, but he wasn't his anwser was just as sincere as his words, he asked you snapping you out of it."...Ok"you agree to it.
His face lights up"Great"
You then look down at your hands which he was still holding, he realized this and let's go."Sorry"he tells you sheepishly."Since I'm here really early, I was wondering how about we go outside instead. You never did get to finish telling me about nature."
You nod your head"Sure"you give him a small friendly smile.
"Great then."he tells you, as the two of you walk away from the library.
