Little Divine

23 - False Alarm

DIVINE'S POV

"How did you get that much scores?" Eros was looking dumbfounded when he snatched my science notebook to see how much grades I got.

I'd be lying if I said that I actually know half of the elements of the table, but I do hope someone relates to me. This is my first time of the year that I attended school yet my brain can already remember the topics we've learned these weeks.

To be fair, I was never also good at the other subjects and I know I'll never be pro at getting high scores. I do have superstitious beliefs to get good luck and there is nothing to do with that being religious.

I only know is that you don't have to give up that easily, because you'll also succeed, even if you get low or average scores sometimes. I'm also at the same page as that situation sometimes.

I shrugged my shoulders and grinned, "I don't know. I just go and study, then I try to remember without stressing myself too much. That's it!" My dumb brain could tell how he was still shocked and frustrated on me and I only laughed at his reaction.

I turned around and I slightly jumped to see my older brother Enzo with Antonio, our cousin. I've completely forgotten how our relatives will have a one month vacation at our house. So basically, chaos will eventually spread louder.

Enzo had a calm and relaxed face while Antonio was looking giddy and excited to see me again. "Tony, you're scaring me."

My older brother slapped the back of Tony's head but he only kept smiling, although there was a tinge of annoyance.

"That's yo cousin?" Eros looked at me with wide eyes before looking back at Tony. I nodded my head. "Yeah. His name is Antonio but I call him by Tony."

I heard Enzo cough out loud before speaking. "This was your friend that you were talking about last week?" He raises his one eyebrow with a question and I gave him a thumbs-up.

"Ya. Isn't he very cool?" Eros looked at me after with his cheeks flushing a but red, but immediately turned his head away. Of course, I didn't know what it meant but Enzo and Tony were surely glaring daggers towards him for no reason.

"I guess so, sweetheart."

"No."

Both replied at the same time and I didn't know what to say next. Well, Enzo agreed to me except for Tony.

My friend had his expression now with a frown and looked at my older cousin with puppy eyes. Antonio was annoyed and frustrated at him but Enzo was clearly amused by their first interactions to each other.

"Fine! He's great. Just a bit." I yipeed in joy before hugging Tony with a happy face. He also smiled and chuckled. "But that doesn't mean I'll be friends with your little boy boy friend."

Enzo sighed before rolling his eyes, "Just let them be. I'm sure he'll behave around Divine. Am I right, little sir?" He snapped his head to my friend and they quickly nodded my head. They seemed nervous though and I'm not sure why.

I don't think Enzo and Antonio are scary though. Maybe, not really. Just sometimes?

"F— YOU B—!" Is the first thing that I heard when we got inside the mansion, but everyone eventually became silent when I was now here with Tony and Enzo.

"What does that mean?" I tilt my head up to Enzo and everyone panicked when I asked a simple question. Can a simple question make one person overthink? It might be possible, if it is.
