Having no other choice, they chose to believe him because he is TWO years elder to me. What the heck!!! And my job is to do treasure hunt having no treasure instead only advice and scolding from them.
As the time went by, when we met our relatives and family members and when they ask about me (cookie Hua), my mom would be so interested and excited in sharing the 'phone story' to everyone. That was like a thorn in my flesh because my childhood was told as a tale till this day.
Whereas Stephen Yang had the worst yet genius childhood stories than me as a little sister, I'm quite happy about the tales of my brother but my story also gets tagged along with it.
'Hateful, hateful, too hateful…' but nothing really changed as they were used to make fun, as years passed I just took it as a joke. But all these incidents happened when I was only 3-4 years old. And he was nearly 6 years old.
But since my childhood, my parents both let me do all the extra curriculums and they encouraged me more in that kind of activities and due to their trust and encouragement, I got lots and lots of certificates, trophies and medals.
I was not that much interested in studies as my brother but I do poke my head on things other than studies. To be exact, I really run away from those big thick textbooks not even to the library in the name of reading.
I usually get dizzy at the sight of books and there was no way for me to absorb the superpower which the books had cause I'm not interested in that kind of powers. But things changed when I was about to complete my junior high.
But lemme complete the little story which is yet to be completed before completing junior high. When I was doing my sixth grade, we had a private van picking us from home to school. And there was one specific boy who was hitting at me.
We had a special celebration at school on one fine Saturday. It was unusual but who cares because teachers are going to make fun for us and we are going to laugh and be happy. That the main theme why we attend schools on Saturdays.
Because during normal days, teachers have a lot of portions to complete and they would be literally begging to other teachers and finally rob all our free periods and we students usually would be sad and angry towards the teachers who were too gracious to lend.
Because this is the fact that the worst teacher of the class would be the one borrowing classes from others in order to torture us. But they do torture us only at class hours and as soon as the school finishes, they would be like lovely white dove making peace with us and laughing around for our stupidest joke.
Sometimes it is hard to believe but that is the school where I studied. I would never forget all those good old memories. But we never know when the teachers have so much time at hand to put a show for us and make us feel happy and less stressed.
Yeah, and there was this day when all the other students of our van had a holiday from their school and we four were the only ones in the van which was usually full with nearly 30 stuffed students. It would be too annoying during Mondays to go to school just because of this reason.
The kids would usually put their bags on their shoulders and they occupy more space the rest would be jammed literally sitting on each other. We would usually fight for our rights to sit comfortably because we pay a lot just to sit on others legs? What kind of logic is this?
Coming back to the incident, there were not many people the driver and my classmate who was a boy, his elder sister who was in the same class as my brother and Stephen Yang we four went to school in silence because we never liked to go to school corrupted with a foul mood.
As usual, we enjoyed the school it was one of the best days because… it is a Saturday!! We thanked all our teachers for the wonderful show and we students had fun together at our class.
But as we returned to our home, me and my classmate were talking about the show and how weird the teachers acted whereas my brother was sitting in the front with his classmate who was a girl as well as the elder sister of my classmate.
And as time passed by my brother and his classmate were too observed that they did not notice us because we were sitting back hiding as we discussed. And the boy who was sitting next to me asked
"Cookie I wanna tell you a secret but you have to promise me that you will not tell to anyone else promise…"
And I said "I don't usually promise to anyone… just tell me… I really won't tell to anyone else…"
this thing went on for nearly solid 30 minutes and I kept on telling the same thing. But he looked at me up and down and said
"But you really don't look like a girl who would keep it as a secret" And I just kept on telling the same old dialogue
"Just tell me… I really won't tell to anyone else…"
Only my mouth was telling them but I really did not mean it. The words from my mouth were simply words. And finally, he told me at one point,
"Cookie I really wanna kiss you just one peck on your lips nothing else" and I was only ten years old I was beyond shock I just shouted saying
"See there... can you see what is there? yeah they are buffalos go and kiss them"
Actually, I was quite angry at the moment and due to my outrange both our siblings turned to us and they were stunned by what we kids were doing.
My brother was not really bothered by it but he was serious about that issue and that was the last day when he spoke to that girl. We were not really close like as we were before and the name of that boy was Rio Long.
We were so close to each other that our relationship now made a lot of difference. We played together, studied together, punished together, we both copied each other as we planned to bring the same lunch to school.
That was the first and last of my relationship thereafter there was no such offers give to me and I am alone even now. I'd really hope to get a good boyfriend no, why boyfriend I really want to get married straight away. I really can't tolerate this kind of loneliness. It's really torture.
But Chrystal the girl same age as me has got married to my brother without me they had the marriage ceremony that was the unbearable thing ever.
"Cookie…. Come over"
called mama Ling Cookie Hua got up from her place with so much difficulty because she did not want to go anywhere without Chrysie. But mama Ling was not going to push this matter aside because she kept an eye the three kids where cookie and Stephen had a war going on through their eyes and every tease from Cookie seemed to be roasting Stephen.
As a mom, she can't really see this kind of weird games her children were playing and keep silent. It was after all not going to help in the end as the innocent girl (Chrystal) did not really know what was going on between the siblings.
When Cookie Hua went away, Stephen Yang did not make any hasty move as Chrystal was a little happy and he did not want to scare her off. Actually, the family planned to sleep outside in their tents but since there were drizzles of rain, they went to their respective rooms to sleep. And as soon as the young couple entered the room, Stephen yang pinned her to the bed not letting Chrystal move.
The tired girl did not plan to do anything other than sleep so she was not really bothered on who was above her as her eyes were too heavy to open. Stephen Yang tried to wake her up but she slept peacefully.
Now he felt that she needs to be punished severely. But looking at her now he felt like his mom and dad fed her a lot since she gained some weight. Her face looked little plump than before. He just placed her in proper position on the bed and slept beside her.
