"My baby, I thought you have forgotten about me." Aria complained to her daughter childishly.
The two sat side by side on the white sofa of their living room. Aria is peeling the skin of grapes on the table, putting one on her mouth, then another to Sorcha's.
"How could I, mom?" Sorcha smiled while chewing the fruit casually. It tastes sweet and fresh. "I'm just a bit busy that's all." She said in a cute voice, trying to coax her mom.
"Hmph. Your father didn't even give you a break!" Aria included Anthony in her complaints.
"Mom, dad only wants the best for me." Sorcha defended her dad.
"Hmph! Hmph!" Aria just snorted twice. She then looked at her daughter and asked with obvious concern, "Lil Sorcha should be tired right? You should eat a lot okay? Here open your mouth."
Sorcha accepted the grapes once again in her mouth then said, "Mom, I miss the taste of the food you cook."
"Really? Then mommy should cook later for dinner!" Aria smiled happily after hearing her request.
~~
Sorcha entered her room smiling. She was able to survive her mom's long nagging.
Today is Saturday, and since her uncle said that she didn't have to train this evening, she has time to do something else.
"But what should I do?" She sighed. She's no longer used in the feeling of having nothing to do.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw Luke calling.
"Sorcha!!~" Luke's loud voice was heard.
"Mm. Why did you call?" She answered.
"Hehe don't you miss my brother?" He said playfully.
"Bye." Sorcha pretended to drop the call so he'd stop with his useless teasing.
"Heyheyhey! Don't end it! Do you want to come at my house? I invited Edmund and Rica. Mr. Ryan is here too!" Luke hurriedly said.
"Oh? What's up?" Sorcha asked.
"Nothing. I was bored and since big brother Ryan is here, we thought that it'd be fun if you guys are here as well."
Sorcha thought for a while. She's always trying to go home as soon as the class ended, so she wasn't able to spend more time with her friends too these days.
"Okay, I'll go there." She decided.
"Really? Haha good! I'll wait for you!" Luke happily said then he ended the call.
Sorcha walked towards her closet to change her clothes. She picked up a plain white shirt, a light blue knee-length skirt, and then she paired it with white sneakers.
She faced her reflection in the mirror. She tied her hair up in a simple bun and smiled, feeling satisfied with how she looked.
After that, she went outside her room to look for her mom.
"Are you leaving baby?" Aria asked.
"Yes. I'm going to my friend's house for a bit." She said.
"Okay, have fun there." Her mom kissed her on the cheeks then added, "Go home early, I'm cooking dinner."
"Mm. I will, mom." And after a while of further nagging, she then finally walked away.
"Bye sweetie!" She heard her mom's shout before she entered the car.
She smiled and then waved her little hands to her mom.

Thanks for the PS yesterday too AILAMEI.
Can someone help me by giving this novel a review?
A four story house could be seen a few meters away from the car Sorcha was in. It has the shape of a tilted letter L. The roof tiles are colored black, and the walls are painted, clean white. It was surrounded with a fair amount of pine trees, and other different kinds of plants. It really looks simple, but it still has the aura of elegance.
When they neared the gates, it was automatically opened, allowing them to enter freely. Sorcha went down the car, and Luke was waving his hands impatiently at her from the second floor balcony, motioning her to go up.
Sorcha couldn't help but to pinch her temple with how this kid acts. Shouldn't he come down first to get her? She sighed and just allowed one of the maids to take her there.
The inside of the house was really neat. It has a minimalist style, with only a few furnitures placed. A four meter wide stairs greeted her. The steps are all white, while the handle is painted with gold.
The second floor has bigger space than the first. The maid led her to the room where Luke and the others are, before excusing herself.
When she went inside, she instantly heard the boisterous laughter of the group.
"Sorcha!! Come here!" Rica shouted.
She smiled, then walked towards them.
"Ha-ha Luke and Mr. Ryan's been playing chess. It's the fourth time Luke has lost." Rica explained.
Sorcha looked at the messy chess board, then to the smiling Ryan, and the childish Luke. She laughed when she saw the defeated face of Luke. 'So that's why he didn't come for me downstairs.'
Sorcha looked at everyone. Ryan, today is wearing a casual blue polo shirt and black pants. Luke wears a printed yellow shirt and shorts. Rica is wearing a pink dress, and the quiet Edmund wears a moss green buttoned down shirt and pants.
"Little sis, wanna play with me too?" Ryan asked her.
"No thanks big brother." She replied politely.
Then all the gazes of Rica, Luke and Edmund shifted from Ryan and Sorcha.
"Since when did you two get close? Even calling each other little sis and big bro?" Luke on the side commented.
"I was asked by her father to come to their house to tutor Sorcha before. We became closer then." Ryan patiently explained.
"Ahhh that's why! We didn't know that." Rica on the side said while drinking a glass of juice.
Edmund also nodded after hearing that.
"If you two also like, you can call me big brother too, of course only during when we're not in class." Ryan with a gentle smile added, and looked to Rica and Edmund.
While on the corner, a disregarded young, handsome man instantly frowned upon hearing the things they said just now. He stood up and removed the innocent Luke from where he is seated, then he said to Ryan while arranging the chess pieces, "Let's play."
Everyone curiously glanced at his sudden action. Sorcha on the other hand was a bit shocked. She knew there was another person inside, but didn't know it was Luke's older brother- Marion.
Ryan looked at his friend then nodded his head and said in a playful tone, "Go easy on an amateur like me."
"Let's start." Marion coldly said.
