My dear little broccolis

So let's get back, and discover a short story that was written a long time ago. The chapters are short, but I know you will enjoy them a lot.

💚 Cadets 💚

Christian is what people call a problematic teenager. So his parents put him in a military school, specialised in reforming rebellious teenagers. He's been here for two years, and things are going fine ... Until the day, a new cadet arrives.

Chapter 7: The Cruelty Of Girls (1.3K)

Jack's PoV

"I'm going to ask you this only once, Grey!" I growl between my very clenched teeth.

I can't believe I got fooled like that by Ana! I should have known better than to trust her over my instincts. When she started blabbering about Christian being gay, I should have ignored her shit and listened to my reason. Christian is as gay as I am. Meaning, far from it. I mean, he did spend many nights trying to sneak out to go clubbing so he could get laid. With girls.

But stupid, confusing Ana said that it was all an act. And that Christian just did his best to act like a manwhore so no one would know his secret. And then she started pointing out stuff. Like the way he's obsessed with his hair. Or the way he always gratifies his looks. Or the way he takes ages to get ready.

But now, I have the undeniable proof that he's straight. And that he's going to end up six feet underground as soon as possible. Really? I tell him that Ana is my sister, and he can't wait to bang her? I'm going to kill him. Bring him to life. Then, let my Dad kill him before I reanimate him and kill him all over again.

"Did you have sex with my baby sister, last night?" I ask, looking straight in his eyes. Okay, I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he is gay, and they just talked all night long, like Jose does every once in a while. Maybe it's just that. Maybe I won't have to go to jail for homicide.

"No," Christian simply says, and I can see the truth in his eyes. But still, I put his words to the test, because my instincts are so telling me that there's something going on between the two of them. But maybe my instincts are broken. I mean, if Christian is gay, there's a whole big thing that had been just before my eyes and that I never noticed.

"Then, what are you doing in her bed?" I question, and Christian rolls his eyes, being as cocky as usual. For someone about to die, he seems pretty relaxed. He even smirks as he says:

"I was too lazy to go back to our room."

"And what's wrong with the extra bed?" I point out, because what need did they have to share the same bed. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit.

"Are you going to find a come back to everything I'll say? I already told you, I didn't have sex with Ana, last night," Christian snaps, and at this very moment, Ana emerges from the bathroom.

She looks at me with her eyebrows up, and I decide to ever ruin it for Christian, in case he has a relapse of non-gay-itude

"He knows who you are," I tell Ana, hoping she will throw a tantrum at her new GBF for not letting her know. But she only shrugs, walking to her closet as only a towel is wrapped around her.

"Of course, he does. You have a big mouth who can't keep a secret," She accuses, and I can't blame her. The word surprise doesn't exist back home because I always ruin them. It's not my fault, it's just that my mouth doesn't have any filter.

Ana starts to dress in front of us, in that secret way girls always do when they're in public. Girls are so ingenious sometimes. I look back at Christian who's looking everywhere but at Ana, and I can't help but remember the first time this situation happened upon her arrival. Christian checked her out. Or maybe he just pretended. This is so confusing.

"What do you want?" Ana snaps at me, clearly annoyed by my presence, and I growl as I remember what Dad just told me:

"Dad told me who you wanted to invite for Show&Tell."

"Yup," She shrugs before putting a threatening finger on my chest. "Touch him, and you'll have to trade your name for Jaqueline."

"I don't want to see his rat face near you," I simply reply, no longer scared of her threats. Well, officially at least. She threatened my testicles so many times that I should be a medical miracle by now. "I already have to put up with Ethan, I don't want to do it for that rat, too."

"I broke up with Ethan," Ana simply states with a shrug. I open big shocked eyes, surprised that she didn't wait for Dad to really explode on her on that matter.

"When?" I ask, and she looks at her watch, fingering me the seconds passing by before she says:

"Now. Ethan?"

Ethan enters her room, and shock washes over his face as he sees Christian and me on her room. I notice from the corner of my mind that Christian is no longer in her bed, and then I have to watch my baby sister tiptoe herself as much as she can so she can kiss Ethan on the lips. I'm sure he would have bent down if he wasn't so busy looking at us.

"It's over," Ana says as if she's talking about the weather, and Ethan wraps his hand on her smaller back as she gently taps his chest.

"Okay," He says, clearly not aware of what she just said. But then he snaps his attention away from us and looks at Ana with disbelief. "Wait, what?"

"You heard me " She shrugs stepping out of his arms. Ethan looks like he's about to bury his favourite pet, and he cries out to Ana:

"Why?!" I can't help but feel bad for him. It's clear that he was starting to like her quite a lot, but Ana is not to be liked. She's my baby sister, and that's it.

"Because you're not that interesting, after all. Because I'm stupid. Because I like someone else. Because Daenerys Targaryan and Jon Snow will never end up together. Because you think Jack's in love with me. I don't know, take a pick," She says with a shrug.

She's my sister, and I love her. But sometimes she can be so cruel. She could give him a real reason so he can move on. Or, I don't know do something. She's really cruel sometimes.

"Can we talk about it?"

"Sure," She kindly says, waiting for him to whimper like the baby he is, and Ethan looks back at Christian and me as he grits between his teeth:

"In private."

"Sure," She concedes to him, and then she turns to us to shoo us outside: "That was your cue to leave, guys."

Christian and I leave and when I close the door, I can feel awkwardness grow between the two of us. I mean, ever since I learned about Christian, there's been this thick cloud of awkwardness between us. I should probably try to dissipate it.

"Christian?" I say, and he cautiously looks at me. God, why does it have to be so awkward? Let's use images and metaphors. He's gay, he must love those. "You know how I like … chocolate ice cream?"

"Yeah?" He warily says, and I can't believe I'm using ice cream flavours as a comparison for genders. I feel like I'm back in kindergarten.

"Well, I think it's okay if you don't. I know you like vanilla better, and it's okay with me. Chocolate isn't your thing, I get it," I quickly stutter. Mostly because I don't want to drag this subject on more than we already are. Let's just stop the awkwardness right here, in front of Ana's dorm room.

"Cool. Same for you. Vanilla isn't your cup of tea, I get it."

"Cool. I'll go check something with Jose," I say, happy that we killed the elephant in the room. Christian nods, and I know that the awkward will be less awkward from now on.

"Cool," He tells me.

"Cool," I repeat before going to Jose's room.

Your thoughts and opinions are always welcomed

Well, Ana seems to be playing with both boys, announcing things that aren't apparently true. Hahah.

What did you think of Ana's little game between Jack and Christian? How did you feel about the end of 'Ethan and Ana'? Well, let me know what you think.
