Fake it till you make it - Lucathy

Bouns chapter- Ara

  'Shes going to recognize me as Lucas brother immediately...'

  "Kiran." I replied.

  "Oh!"

  'Here we go again....'

  "Your names pretty!" She said.

  'huh!? I seriously thought she was going to say Lucas brother.' I was silently pleased that for once I'm not being compared to my overly narrsesistic brother.

  "Mara's name is Amaranth! But just call mara, mara." She told me.

  She talks in third person...

  I wonder why...

  "I'll call you Amaranth." I replied.

  "Eh!? Noooo! Call mara, mara! Or some other name!" She whined.

  "Do I have to?" I questioned.

  She nodded.

  "Fine. I'll just go with Ara." I said.

  "Ara? Okay...." She nodded.

  "Then what should mara call Kiran...." She mumbled.

  "Please just call me Kiran and don't give me some weird nickname." I begged.

  "No! Mara needs nickname for EVERYONE!" she said.

  'Im not going to argue on this...' I sighed.

  "Mara, thanks for helping me the other day!" I heard someone say.

  I looked up and saw Amaranth waving to a janitor.

  "It's no problem Sir Robert." She replied.

  "Would you mind helping clean mara classroom? Someone spilled water all over the floor...." She said pouting and acting cute.

  "Eh? I just cleaned it! Sigh... Okay I'll go clean it up in a moment..." The janitor sighed.

  "Kiran should get to class soon. Break is almost over." She told me.

  I nodded.

  "I'll meet you tomorrow." I said leaving.

  As I walked back to the classroom I found myself delighted.

  'Miss robbers right... She's a little bit different.' I thought.

~Amaranth POV~

  I walked back to my classroom smiling.

  First of all I was proud of how I handled the situation.

  Second of all I think I made a new friend!

  "Why were you with Kiran?" A girl came up to my table and asked me.

  "Is there something wrong?" I asked.

  "Yes. He is Lucas brother. You don't fit by his side." She told me.

  I sighed.

  "Kiran is Kiran, Lucas is Lucas, it shouldn't matter who Kiran is related to." I replied

  "B-"

  "Class! Please go back to your seat!" The teacher yelled.

  Lucas ....

  Sounds familiar...

  Wonder who he is ...

~Time skip(Like a few days after...)~

  'Mara is too short!' I thought jumping as my classmates behind me laughed.

  They had put the lunch box that sissy made me above the white board so I can reach it.

  This is height discrimination!

  I would take a chair but there's a good chance they wouldn't let me.

  I don't think I can get a teachers attention either...

  Mara is so annoyed!

  "What are you doing ara?"

  Kiran!

  "Kira! You came." I said.

  "You didn't come to our spot so I can to look for you." Kiran told me.

  I smiled.

  "But seriously, what were you doing?" He asked me.

  I pointed up.

  "Mara is too short to get it." I told him.

  "And what are all these people doing?" He asked me throwing a side glare at all of them.

  "Kira, ignore them. Mara just wants to eat her food with kira...." I told him.

  He sighed and helped my get my lunch box.

  "Let's go." He passed it to me and then started walking of.

  "Kiran! How are you?" One of my classmates asked him.

  "I'm fine, but I don't think you'll be if you keep doing this to Amaranth." He replied with a smile as I followed behind him.

  I giggled.

  "What's so funny?" He asked me.

  "Kira is just so cool!" I told him.

  "Whatever, let's go and eat." He said as we walked.

  Our spot was just a corner in the canteen.

  And no one else touches it since Kiran is Lucas brother.

  "Does kira mum cook for kira?" I questioned seeing as he also has a lunchbox.

  Sometimes he has it sometimes he doesn't.

  "Yes. What about you?" He asked me.

  "Normally auntie lily makes mara lunch but today sissy made it!" I cheered.

  "Your mum?" He asked me.

  I quieted down and my smile faded.

  Silence fell.

  My eyes stang a little bit.

  "Ah."

  I looked up.

  Kiran was holding a fork with a heart cucumber piece at the end.

  "Are you just going to stare at your food or actually eat it?" He asked.

  I took the cumber that he gave me.

  "Your so lucky I always bring tissue paper." Kiran told me taking out a packet of tissue from his pocket and passing it to me.

  "Thank you." I replied.

  "No problem. Now I suggest you wipe your tears or else your going to have to explain to teacher why you were crying." Kiran told me.

  I nodded.

  I felt a slight smile stretch on my face.

  'He's nice....'
