Chapter 14 First Day of School Part II (1/2)
Kyle took another towel and started to wipe his chest and then his hair. Kay completely ignored what he was doing as she shouted happily, ”Kyle!! KYLE!!”
She made one twirl in the bathroom, the skirt billowing along with her movements and flowing down naturally when she stopped. She then smiled widely at him, asking, uniform, ”How do I look??”
”Very beautiful,” he answered honestly as he hung the towel he was holding around his neck.
Kyle looked at his sister, and pursed his lips. With her dark hair in twin ponytails, her red lips parting in a dazzling smile and her fair skin glowing, she looked like she was wearing a party dress rather than a boring school uniform.
Sure, one could hardly say that the Retsu Primary School uniform was boring. In fact, it had one of the better styles in the country even though it was a simple design. All private schools appeared to be competing about it or something, Kyle thought wryly.
The school uniform that Kay was wearing was a white collared blouse with intricate lace designs on the collar and sleeves, matched with a dark navy blue skirt that flared a little around the knee. There was also a small blue ribbon tied around the collar, held together with a silver emblem which was embossed with the school logo. A name tag was pinned on the left side of the blouse, just above the heart. It was white name tag, with silver borders and her name, ”Kayla” embossed on it in silver.
Kay smiled happily and handed him his school uniform, which was on a hanger. The male version was a simple white collared shirt, dark navy blue pants and a navy blue tie with the school emblem sewn in silver right at the bottom of the tie.
Kyle took the uniform, thanked her with a kiss on the cheek then shooed her out. She turned around and skipped out, and Kyle locked the door this time. He reached over to the drawer under the sink and pulled out his underwear. At least he didn't need to go out again just to get it.
Kyle looked at himself in the mirror, and sighed. Seven years old. Luckily he occupied his time with so many things. Otherwise, he would have been bored to death or feel like killing himself having to act like a toddler. Even now, the thought of entering school with screaming kids and going through the syllabus made him shudder.
He took a deep breath and began putting on his school uniform. At least, Kay was excited about it, so he would latch onto that. Initially, he thought he would form some ties during primary school days but he quickly brushed that thought aside.
People tend to change, somehow, after puberty and he wasn't going to risk forming a bond only to have it crash and burn for some stupid reason. It wasn't to say that one couldn't form a close bond, but that the risk of failure was quite high. So, taking that into consideration, the Allies Plan would only begin once they started secondary school. For now, it was focus on strengthening their foundation. Skills and money.
He took one last look at himself in the bathroom mirror after he dressed. Running a hand through his hair, the pinned his own name tag on before walking out of the bathroom. Kay gasped at the sight.
Kyle may be her brother, but she wasn't blind to the dashing figure he cut out for himself, even at 7 years old. His hair was cut short from the back and sides, but he had slightly more hair on the top. He parted his hair on the left, and had a slight wavy fringe that covered a part of his forehead just above the right eyebrow. His eyebrows were shaped well and dark, while his strikingly blue eyes were clear and sharp.
He had skin that any girl would be jealous off and a dimple that would be seen on his left side whenever he smiled. That added to his charm even more, and Kay was glad that he didn't smile often. Otherwise, he's going to cause lots of heartbreak or something.
Kay giggled to herself and Kyle raised an eyebrow at that, ”What?” he asked.
”Nothing,” she said as she took his hand, ”Let's go have breakfast”.
”En”, he grunted, walking with her as they headed off to the door.
Just as they reached it, the door opened to reveal their AuPair, Ms Sophie. Upon seeing them, she put her hands at her mouth and exclaimed with tears in her eyes, ”My oh my,” she exclaimed with tears in her eyes, ”Ma petites are all grown up now.”
