Lia was painful the entire day. She felt it when she got up and moved. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead."It's all your fault," She yelled at Chris."How?" He asked back. "If you didn't run like champions, we wouldn't tried running more to prove ourselves. This is Peer pressure."Chris snorted."You know that you have to gradually increase your endurance. Run daily and you will form a habit and also your stamina will increase."Lia knew but they had made a really and choice today. So the future was painful for her and also her brother. They both were hurting and to top it, they had to write."I don't wanna write."Lia yelled now."If you don't, what will I submit in five days? Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be for the festival. One day will not be enough. Please, Lia, write one for me today. Please. Then I will write one. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I can complete the other two. The last day for the last one. Please. You are my favorite sister. My fav

Ray left and Aster took Asher to paint. At least they could play with colors. "Come, let's see what the gift is."Asher followed Aster and then they read the instructions."It says you can paint on each paper and then tear it away to frame it. So let's paint on one. What do you want to draw?""I want, I want, I want, I don't know."Aster understood. "Let's just draw something."They painted together. The mix of colors looked like the sky while the background was something where colors vomited. It could make a good phone wallpaper. Aster took a look and found Asher looking very proud. It was good. Because they just threw colors and that was not exactly painting something. If they were asked to draw a landscape or portrait, they would be very painful.Aster decided to frame it as a memory. Otherwise, no one would cherish it. Lia discussed with Marvin all about Prank Day and they were about to have one soon but her mother stopped it.She and an excellent reason."There are only four

How would you feel if you went out on a normal day and met your idol? Not your bias but a pretty close one? The one you idolize as your friend. You would need a missile to shoot you down from the sky, right?Lia felt the same.She was stunned and froze. And the other side also froze. August came face to face with his cousin and felt she was cute. His younger sister was so cute. It's a pity that he couldn't meet her when she was a kid. She should be a doll then. They would have become revolutionary comrades. He loved playing with dolls and he would have a partner then. Too bad, his brothers had no interest in dolls or playing games not to mention, they were older than him. So he had to play by himself most of the time. He had two perfectly younger cousins and he missed them. Ah, so wrong."Lia, this is my youngest brother August."Lia nodded mechanically. Then she reacted. Her idol was standing before her and she was waiting her time by gawking. Now gawking at a close distance was

The days were happy. At least for Lia, it felt good. She didn't experience anything bad. Something like this would relieve someone's mind. Lia acted so hard that she managed to now not to fall in front of Aster and inadvertently get hugged. She couldn't make a mess when she had to perform in reality.She now hummed songs and enjoyed herself. Who knows when this kind of calm will last?This particular day, she had a chance to go with Jake and Asher to a dentist visit. That was very cool, right? For her, yes. But for the two boys, it was not.The place was spotless and surprisingly had a calm feel. Again, for her. But for the boys, it should be equal to a horror house.They were checked by a young lady. Lia read her name- Bhavya. A cute name. Angel in white. DefinitelyLia liked this lady instantly. "Hey, we both have names ending with the same rhyme."Bhavya smiled at that and Lia felt an arrow piercing her heart. She was cute. Jake and Asher had no problems and just got their teet

The day went in a blur and the evening was here. Lia had to go out. She had a readymade reason."Mom, my professor is taking me to Aster's dinner. He wants to meet some investors."This was what she had told her mother earlier and she got the permission to come late at night. Because she couldn't stay that late without informing her mother.Her mother went wild with imagination if she couldn't see her. And she didn't want her to worry about her. Parents always worry."I'm ready."She left there and met Aster outside. He was in the car and he didn't get out."This is an important event. Don't be nervous. Those people look like monsters and are monsters. But we are not nice people. Treat them as game levels. If you clear them all, you get a gift."That was a good incentive. She loved that. And she felt that her nervousness was gone after the morning opening ceremony. It's like you get the feeling of being in charge once and you get addicted.It was scary but also refreshing. "I will.
