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 13: End Or Beginning? (0.7K)

Christian's PoV

It's been two weeks since that crazy confrontation. Without big surprise, Ana went back home with her Mom at the end of the weekend of show-and-tell; and of course, the whole school talked about the fact that Ana is actually the Major's daughter, and therefore Jack's little sister.

Jack and I haven't been speaking since that fateful day in his father's office. I have to say that I am surprised that he did not try to get me at the corner of a classroom, or something. Ever since Ana left, Jack had her dorm reattributed to him, so we don't spend our nights together anymore. Which I think is a good thing, because it would have been so easy for him to strangle me in my sleep.

Honestly, I must admit that I am sad that this whole situation ended up like that. I mean, I do have a positive point in all of this, and it is the fact that the Major pretty much leaves me alone. I don't know what his wife told him, but it had the result of me not ending up as fertiliser for the backyard. But … well, I lost my best friend in the process, and I also lost my girl. Because I haven't had any news from Ana ever since she left.

I don't actually hold it against her. I'm sure that if I don't have any news from her, it is because she can't give them. Probably that the major butts in and stops her from doing so. Or Jack, take a pick. But all of that is to say that I lost everything because I had a big mouth. If I had kept my mouth shut, and kept our little thing a secret, I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be in this situation, right now.

Anyway, all of this is to say that I am beyond shocked when I hear the door of my room knock and open it to find Jack there. It is Friday night, and usually, Jack hangs out in the living room on Friday nights, playing pool or cards, like most of us (I stopped doing that soon after Ana arrived at the Institute); but apparently, Jack has decided to use his free night to set some things clear with me. Probably that he'll try to kill me, and ask his father to cover up the murder.

We stare at each other before he clears his throat and asks: "Are we going to gawk at each other forever, or are you going to let me in?"

I step aside, and he walks in to go sit on what used to be his bed.

"So … Let the awkward begin …" He says, though he does not add anything to that. And honestly, I won't make it easy for him, either. I am not very eager to talk about my relationship with Ana with her big brother.

"To be honest, let's not talk about the awkward. Because really, just thinking about it grosses me out. But … the thing is, I miss my friend, and Ana says I should be the bigger man, and 'stop acting like a caveman'. Her words."

I still don't say anything, but all my attention is on Jack who is looking everywhere but in my direction. This is sooooo awkward! There definitely should be a dummies book for that kind of situation.

"So … Are we friends again?" I ask, feeling like I'm back in first grade. He hesitates a little and says:

"Not yet. I'm still angry that you went behind my back. But … well I never saw Ana being so persistent about someone like that before. So … Like she said, I should try to be the bigger man, and let time take care of this."

On those words, he gets up and walks to the door. But before leaving, he gives a piece of paper, on which is written a phone number, with the name 'Ana' above it. As soon as I'm alone, I dash outside my bedroom, to the communal phone, and compose the number, only to hear the voice I missed the most over the past two weeks answer.

"Hello?"

I smile, almost picturing her in front of me, and I let her know: "Ana … This is Christian …"
