Falling in Love with a Ghost

Chapter 16

Kylie's POV

I wonder why Kris reacted like that. Oh, well. Maybe he just remembered something awful.

But now, I am happy that Crystal and I became friends. I thought I'll never get one because I am not that friendly. She's very nice and all.

And I wish Mark will be fine by tomorrow. I'm going to introduce him and Crystal to each other.

I heard a knock.

"Come in." Who is it this time?

Jake entered the room with a worried look. What happened to him?

"Hey. Can I ask you something?" He asked, walking towards me.

"You already-" I was about to give him a sarcastic answer when I saw that he is serious.

"I don't want a sarcastic answer. I asked you properly." He said with a straight face. He even had this I'm-your-older-brother-so-have-some-respect tone.

"Okay, okay. Fine. Ask me anything." I gave him a Go-ahead-ask-me look. He seems reluctant.

"Did something happen between you and Kris?" He asked while sitting on the bed beside me.

Hmm..did something happen? I don't think so. Wait..is earlier counted?

"Why?" I answered his question with a question. He glared at me. What? Is it wrong to ask why before answering?

"Don't even remind me." He sighed.

~A few minutes earlier~

Jake's POV

"I'm home!" I saw Kris sitting on the sofa alone.

"Hey, Kris. How are ya?" I waved at him.

He didn't even look at me. And I noticed his eyebrows are knitted together. Did something happen?

"Yo, my bro~" I tried to get him out of his reverie. But it didn't work. I was completely ignored. I must not give up.

"Kris~" I patted him on the shoulder.
This time he looked at me. Wait, no. He glared at me. His eyes are cold and full of hatred.

I was caught off guard and before I knew it, he's already gone.

~Back to the present~

Kylie's POV

"Full of hatred? Are you sure?" When I saw his eyes earlier, it was only cold. Does it mean if your eyes are cold, it is full of hatred?

"Yeah. I'm worried."

"Don't worry. He's okay. Isn't he like that everyday?"

"I don't know. So, did something happen between the two of you?"

"Nothing in particular." I shrugged.

"I don't believe you."

"Okay. I just told him that I have a new friend in school, and I admire her."

"Oh, I get it. He's jealous. I smell love here." He wiggled his eyebrows teasingly.

"Huh? What do you mean?" What is he talking about? Smell love?

"Haha..nothing. So, who's this person you admire?" He lay down on the bed, still having his smirk.

"Hehe..her name's Crystal Peige." I smiled happily.

His smirk was completely wiped off when I looked back at him.

"What's wrong?" I furrowed my eyebrow. He also reacted negatively when he heard the name. What's wrong with Crystal's name?
