Capítulo 60: Forget-Me-Not
Emilié and Aria arrived without any further incidents at the Flower dorm and stood in front of the dorm's gate waiting for Jerome.
Leevi did ask Jerome to bring them to the dorm, yet in his hurry he did not give him any details entailing the new students stay.
So he had to make his way to the desk lady and ask which rooms Emilié and Aria were assigned to.
"Five minutes!" Aria was sick of standing and threw his a$$ on the cold ground. "He said he'd be back in five, yet it's already seven. Where is this Jerome!"
"Be more patient." Emilié tried half-heartedly to shut him up. "You are breaking rules." Very half-heartedly.
"Breaking rules.¹" Aria pouted his lips.
"He is the one lying to us, five means five. First he peppers us with his stupid question, where do you cooome from, yada yada." Instead of staying shut, Aria started complaining more and more.
He was hungry and annoyed of Jerome.
What Emilié and Aria found out on the way was, that this Jerome kid could ask a lot.
A lot LOT.
It was comparable to an interrogation. From where they come from, to what their hobbies were, to how they arranged their room decoration; that kid asked everything.
Aria was peeved relentlessly by him and let his bad mood bubble out of his mouth.
"Aria" Emilié called.
"....Why did you guys transfer at this time in the year? blah blah blah.. Ohh~ are you guys from those eccentric rich families who homeschool their kids blah blah.." He even mimicked his voice in a high pitch.
"Aria" Emilié tried again to break in, but Aria was deeply lost in his shit talking, that he did not notice Emilié trying to get a word in.
"...How was your hometeacher? blah blah blah... 'Hmph' After having to listen to his annoying voice snooping in our lives, he just run away abandoning us here. At least-"
"ARIA"
"What?" Aria finally answered back, looking up to Emilié.
Emilié's eyes glowed in mirth as she said, "Behind you" and Aria turned around.
Jerome stood there with two golden keys in his hand, his nose glowing red from the running in the cold.
"Sh¡t" Aria cursed under his breath scrambling up on his legs. "Ahh, Jerome you're back so fast. Ha ha ha... ughh.."
"I fu€ked this up, right?" He whispered to Emilié.
She gave him a cool smiled and went up to Jerome. "Thanks for the keys"
"No problem" Jerome gave an awkward smile and handed Emilié the keys.
"I asked, your guys room is on the first floor, right hallway. Blue Scorpion Grass and Chrysanthemum. Enjoy your stay here." While saying the last part he intensely looked at Aria and went away without another word.
"Heh! You really are fast making enemies here. Should I congratulate you on the first bad day." Emilié mocked Aria.
Aria just grumbled at her and walked in the dorm.
Emilié seeing Aria disgrumble, chuckled and shrugged once, before going after him.
Reaching to their rooms, Aria took his key from Emilié and went in without further ado.
Standing alone in the hallway, Emilié didn't charge in like Aria did. She stood there, tracing with her eyes the door to her room, taking in the marvelous crafting of the door frame.
Finely edged blue flowers coiled around the door frame, glowing like the blue sky. Whoever was the artist of this masterpiece really earned to be praised, his eye to realism was really great.
Lost in her admiring, Emilié muttered, "Forget-me-not²... Right. This year, no one will forget." And she entered her room.
.....
"Infuriating that brat! Not the slightest respect for his older sister." Valentin huffed after Leevi went away.
Chrissy patted Valentin's back to appease her. "Come on now Valentin, be the bigger person. And you know right? You are not the older one here."
'Tsk' Hearing the truth Valentin clicked her tongue. "We are only minutes apart. So who cares if I say I'm older?"
"No one really. However, your birth certificate says you are physically younger than him."
"Okay. Let's say physically I am younger, but mentally I'm hundred percent older than him!" Valentin crossed her arms and raised her chin, trying to make her point more pragnant.
Christine rolled her eyes at her. "Whatever you say Val."
Then they made themselves on their way too, walking down the road Emilié and Co. came from.
While walking Valentin was still mad and huffed and puffed loudly. This encounter with Leevi took a heavy toll on her.
She had enough stepping around on Leevi, because of one stupid problem! One stupid important problem!
"Chrissy, you really need to be harsher with these boys. Let them know you don't want a relationship. It's really hard for me to argue myself out every time Leevi sees us after another failed confession attempt."
What an unexpected turn. It was not Valentin who was confessed at, rather it was Christine!
Valentin changed the conversation flow to a different direction and gave Leevi the impression that she was confessed at.
Leevi was angry at Valentin leading on the guys. Since her word choice weren't the nicest ones, he got that kind of impression.
But, Leevi never saw one of these 'confessions' that was talked about!
The reason why Valentin made Leevi misunderstand, was because of the feelings her brother harboured for her one year younger best friend.
She was not blind!
She knew her brother feelings. And for her defence, she did not pry it out of Leevi! Let's say, someone's love struck gazes weren't subtle at all.
Even Christine knew about his feelings!
Valentin did not want to poke on his heart, that was broken from the failed attempts to win over Christine.
And so it ended with such kind of conversations everytime after a confession; Valentin breaks guys hearts and Leevi is angry at her.
Christine hangs her head down, her hair covering her face. "I know. Im sorry. But you know too how stubborn they can be. Even when I reject them they come back trying again. I don't want to deal with it anymore."
A short silence spread between them and both stopped walking a while ago.
Then, to break the silence, Christine coiled her arms around Valentin's arm. "And.." She smiled at her impishly. "When you're at my side they run away as if they have seen their parents."
"RUDE!" Valentin slapped her hands away.
"Hahaha" Chrissy chuckled, holding her tummy.
"And 'snort' you even said everyone wants to confess to their celebrity-crushes." Christine ridiculed her more.
Valentin's thick face began to redden. What a wicked friend she has. She helps her, and she makes fun of her!
It is not her fault, that the guys crushing on Christine are more of the shy and intellectual sheeps, scared of Valentin the big wulf.
"Chris-syyy, stop it!" Valentin stomped her leg on the ground embarassed.
It took a minute till Christine could hold her laughter in, until getting back to normal. "Ok sorry, sorry. Didn't you want to go to the mall? Let's go."
Christine was about to take a step when Valentin called her.
"Hey.."
"Hmm?" Christine looked at her best friend questingly.
"Why? Why don't you just date him?"
Christine didn't answer and looked away to escape the inquiring eyes of Valentin.
"Leevi I mean." However, Valentin did not give up getting an answer from her.
She wished to know why she refuses everyone and even her good mannered brother, who would be a great boyfriend.
That would also solve this stupid predicament between these two siblings. And she wouldn't have to create more misunderstandings.
"He is a thoughtful guy. Gentle, smart, sweet as sugar, well.. when it comes to me he is not, but that is me and him and not you. Leevi really cares for you and shows it in his dorky kinda way."
All the time Valentin talked Christine did not look at her trying to get away.
Her eyes strayed on the ground and then it froze.
A reddish object catched all her attention.
She completely ignored Valentin, crouching down to scoop the reddish object into her hand.
Valentin noticing her friend not listening stopped.
"'sigh' Fine, I'll stop. You're not listening anyway! By the way, what are you doing there?" She asked, seeing Christine crouched down picking something up.
Christine gazed intently at the reddish thing. "Why... why do I feel like.. having forgotten, something very important?"
