2: Proud but worried

June's POV:

I throw my bag onto my shoulders and put on my shoes, I glance back at my mom one last time before heading for the door. I turn the knob, opening it and taking a step Outside

Outside waited my dad with my stepmom in Their little family trunk, She isn't mean or selfish no she is actually a nice woman which is probably the reason I pity her,

I had a younger step-brother, Kyan. He is about 6 years old. Who didn't seem to be in the car

I get myself onto the back seat and put my bag beside me, I look over at my father and stepmother and smile softly,

"Good evening" I greet them, not that I have meant it though.

"Good evening darling..." My stepmother smiled back as my father began the car,

The whole car ride... Seemed silent, yet the tension in the air was visible to even a child.

"Where's Kyan?" I finally ask my stepmother, she is well... A nice friend to have,

"He's at kindergarten dear, he's having a little sports festival there" She says, looking out he window as if to avoid my gaze

"You guys... Didn't go?" I ask out, surprised.

"It's not important" My father now speaks

I fall silent, understanding the situation... Same old controlling man. I had no energy nor any motive to argue with this man,

"Dad, could you stop the car? I was thinking of maybe meeting a friend" I smile at him, a fake masked smile with disgust and hate.

"Sure honey" He smiles and stops the car,

I quickly get out, and close the door, allowing the car to leave.

I walk to a nearby taxi stop, waiting for a taxi

He was always like this, always chasing the academic value and never caring about his children. But I as an older sister have my responsibilities, And I will not let my little brother face the things I faced... no never.

After a few minutes I couldn't find a taxi, no not at all.

Now what do I do?! I maybe just have to ask for a lift from a stranger.

I look around the road and to my luck... I spot a cycle! There was a girl around my age by it, I make my two her and smile.

"Hey... I was wondering if I could get a lift?" I ask her, awkwardly

"Oh! Actually I have classes now, but my brother works here, he can help you!" She points at a nearby bakery,

"Thanks" I smile and walk to the bakery, I enter and look around.

I spot a well... gergous black haired man, I felt like I was looking at an actor from Hollywood. I shake my head, No June! It's not the time to simp for men, it's time for responsibilities!

"Hey uhm" I suddenly realize... I didn't even know who is that girl's brother nor did I get her name...

"Oh hello miss, How can I help you?" He asks politely, turning to face me,

"Oh uhm I was wondering if I could get a ride, a girl with a cycle told me her brother works here, and I could actually get a ride from him" I explain, smiling softly,

"Oh, Your talking about Lloyd? One second miss, His shift is over, I'll call him." He smiles and goes inside, after a few minutes he comes out with a Blonde man.

The man had tan skin, blonde hair and soft sage eyes... I felt myself soften as I meet his gaze, Its officially crush season.

"Hello…!" I smile at him, In which he returns

"I heard everything, please follow me" He gestures me to follow as he began walking, In which I immediately did,

He led me towards his car and opens the front seat beside the driver's seat for me... I immediately get in and wait for him to as well

He gets in and starts the engine, This car is I think a Toyota chaser? I look at him as he begins driving,

"Where to?" He asks me, glancing at me with his soft gentle gaze,

"Cardio Kindergarten" I tell him,

"oh and! Is this by chance a Toyota Chaser?" I finally ask, shy if I am wrong

"Yes" He replies, smiling

After about 17-18 minutes

"We arrived" he says, stopping the car.

"Thank you so much! I will repay you when ever I have to chances to, I promise" I say quickly, hurrying out of the car and entering the kindergarten

The place was crowded by parents, I squeeze to the front and look around, in hopes Kyan's part hadn't ended. And to my luck, it didn't! Right after a few minutes Kyan's name was announced.

After a few moments I could see Kyan running, my expression softens at the sight but quickly changes as Kyan falls down, brushing against the concrete, injuring himself.

As he slowly gets up, teary in pain, his eyes fall to me. He seemed surprised to see me, but I could see a little light in his eyes as he quickly got up and started running again though help was already on the way.

I could feel everyone a little surprised as a little kid didn't cry but instead ran again, and so was I! This kid is always trouble! He... He is hurt so badly but look at him go, is he running for me now? I couldn't tell, but felt worried about him.

I waited for this running part to end, so I could talk to him, and take him home... "I am proud of you though Kyan..." I mutter to myself, proud of him as well...
