103 Siblings 1 (1/2)
The cherry blossom trees bloomed in the courtyards in the campus.
Instead of meeting Shelly and Ellen in our usual café, we ate some deli sandwiches on a soft mat under the lovely trees that had the most beautiful flowers bloom in shades of blue.
”This is Miele,” Ellen showed us some pictures of her newly born younger sister.
Miele was wrapped with many blankets like she was inside a cocoon.
”She's so cute,” I observed her soft features.
She had the same gentle silver eyes as Ellen as she brightly smiled in the picture taken by Ellen when she visited her parent's house.
Did 'Rika' have any siblings?
When I visited my parent's house last time, I noticed the house was way too big for just a couple to live in.
There was no way that a middle-aged couple would need four bedrooms in one house unless I had siblings. Especially when I almost never visited them as my room remained undecorated and bare.
”Do you want to visit my house next weekend?” I asked them.
”Don't you have to ask Luke first?” Shelly reminded me of the necklace around my neck.
Fortunately, Luke made some adjustments so that we would be able to have some fair distance between us on campus. However, it meant that I couldn't leave campus on my own without Luke or Alex following along with me.
”I'll just drag him along,” I confidently claimed.
I had my ways to bring Luke along the visit. I planned to push him into the teleportation gate with me as I pretended to inquire him about the functions of the gate for 'studying purposes'.
”Sure!” Shelly agreed.
”I've never been inside a regular house before in the third district,” Shelly anticipated visiting my house.
”Same,” Ellen agreed with her glittering eyes.
We lifted our tea cups at the same time as we glanced at each other knowingly before laughing.
”You're back?” My mom opened the door to find the four of us that waited for her to let us in.
”Yea,” I changed into a pair of slippers near the doorway.
It wasn't hard to convince Luke to come along with us.
”Luke,” I called his name as I interrupted his sword practice with Alex after separating from Shelly and Ellen as our picnic finished.
