Chapter ten: Miana's new friend, part 3
Jonah was lying on his bed, fuming. He didn't want to see Miana.
'She ALWAYS get's all the attention! She's constantly with Big sis, and Big sis is always with Eren and Armin, so they pay attention to her too! She always get's Mom and Dad's attention too! I hate her!'
Suddenly, Jonah heard somebody fidgeting with the handle.
'I bet that's Miana. She can't get in though! The door's locked!'
As soon as he thought that, there was a loud click and the door opened. Mikasa stood there, a key in her hand.
Jonah let out a irritated sigh, and pulled his blanket over his head.
"Jonah…" Mikasa said, shutting the door behind her and walking over. She sat by Jonah on the bed.
"C'mon, Jonah. Get out from under there," Mikasa said.
"No! Now go away!" Jonah shouted, his voice muffled from the blanket.
Mikasa then grabbed the blanket and pulled it off of him. The two stared one another down.
"Talk to me," Mikasa said.
"I told you to go away!" Jonah said, reaching for the blanket, but Mikasa held it up higher.
"Big sis! Give it!"
"Not until you tell me why you snapped at Miana," Mikasa said. Jonah folded his tiny arms, and despite how upset he looked, he was still absolutely adorable.
"Fine! She gets all the attention! No one even knows I exist!" Jonah said, and Mikasa took his small hand.
"That's not true. I'm sorry that you feel like that…but you haven't been very nice to Miana. Miana is outside crying," Mikasa said. Jonah bit his lip, a guilty look on his face.
"Is Rachel with her…?" he asked bitterly.
"Yes, she is. The reason she's there is to try to cheer up your sister, the very one you snapped at," Mikasa said, and Jonah looked down.
There was a minute of silence before Jonah stood and ran out of the room.
Mikasa smiled slightly.
'I'm glad that I have such mature siblings…they're so smart for their age.'
Jonah rushed down the stairs, right by Eren and Carla, and didn't stop even though they called his name. He swung the front door open, and ran out, not even bothering to put on his shoes or shut the door behind him.
"Miana!" he shouted, his small voice echoing in the yard. Rachel turned, and so did Miana, her small eyes locking with his. Her eyes were rimmed with red from crying.
Jonah ran up to Miana, and embraced her.
"Jonah…" Miana muttered, surprised by his action.
"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have yelled at you!" Jonah said before letting go, and a smile painted Miana's face.
"…It's okay!" Miana assured. Suddenly, Rachel ran up to Jonah, her face red, and handed him a piece of paper.
"Gomen'nasai for not inviting you to play with me and Miana! This is my apology!" Rachel said, bowing cutely in apology just like they do in Japan. Jonah smiled, looking down at the paper. It had a picture of Miana, Jonah, and Rachel all in front of a rainbow and it read 'I'm sorry! Let's be friends!' Jonah looked up and smiled at Rachel. "It's okay! Of course we can be friends!" Jonah said, and Rachel beamed. "Really?" "Really!" Little did Jonah know how life changing that decision was going to be. Hey guys! Sorry, this chapter is rather short. I really haven't been feeling well. I can promise a new chapter every other day, so be expecting one in two days. Thank you for understanding, and for sticking to the story. It really means a lot to me.
