I woke up to Amaranth still sound asleep.
My body automatically wakes up at a certain time.
'its probably still too early for mara to get up...' I thought
Normally Amaranth takes some sort of cab to school.
When I mean some sort of cab.
I mean Felix driving his car.
I took my phone which was at my bedside table and checked it for any notification.
'Looks like there nothing going on...'
I placed my phone at the side then proceeded to go shower.
'Take the white hoddie and the grey cardigan over the white hoddie. And the white sweat pants.' My second voice chose what I wore.
I checked my phone again after I finished my hot shower.
1 message.
Felix
Athanasia, sorry but me and lily will be busy today.
Can you take Amaranth to school?
I have already notified Claude.
'If both lily and Felix are unavailable... I'll need to prepare a lunch box for Mara too...' I thought.
Sure. I'll take Amaranth to school.
'Take a white mask too.' my second voice said.
I took my white mask and stuffed it into my pocket.
I went into Amaranth's room and opened her white wardrobe.
I took out her school uniform and put it at the corner of my bed so that when I call her to wake up she'll not need to spend extra time going to her room.
'Normally Lily would make something cute... Sometimes she makes heart shaped cookies... But I can't bake...' I thought going down the stairs and into the kitchen.
'I can cook some rice... Take some seaweed and make a panda shape...' I taking ingredients from around the kitchen.
'Can I try and cut heart shaped cucumber?' I thought taking the knife from the rack.
'When did we buy this?' I thought holding a heart shape mold.
'There are two different sizes... I can use this for the cucumber...'
'I should put more cucumber to make sure this is somewhat balanced...'
'This is perfect!' I thought finding a container that was separated into three sections.
One sections being two times the size of the other.
I put the cucumber in one of the smaller sections and the 2 panda rice ball in the other small section.
'I should prepare some meat...' I thought opening one of our fridges.
'I remember lily made me sausage octopus before...' I thought taking one of tue sausgaes and letting it unfreeze.
'I can make Mara some bunny apples...' I picked up some apples in the fridge and cut them.
I cooked the sausage and cut them into a octopus like shape.
'I think I made too many apples...' I thought seeing that I can't fit all my bunny apples into the container.
'Ill just eat some later.' I thought taking another container.
In the end I managed to make two panda rice balls, three bunny apples, a stack of heart shaped cucumber and around four sausage octopus.
'That should settle Mara's lunch break...' I thought.
'What should I make for breakfast...' I saw some eggs at the side and bread.
'Should I just make scrambled eggs and bread?' I thought picking up the eggs and bread.
'maybe along with a sunny side up?' I got to work on breakfast!
'Ok! Now to call Mara...' I thought.
I walked up the stairs.
"Mara... It's time to wake up..." I said walking up to my bed.
"Hm...? Why isn't Sissy at work yet...?" Amaranth asked rubbing her eyes.
"Jennette is still unable to act as of now so we have post phoned the acting." I replied supporting Amaranth into a sitting pose.
"Okay..." Amaranth crawled off my bed.
"Mara, I already have your clothes here. You can shower on your own right?" I asked.
Normally Amaranth does everything herself.
"Yes mara can do that..." Amaranth was half awake.
'You forgot her bag.' My second voice reminded.
I went into Amaranth's room.
Knowing Amaranth she would've already packed her bag.
So I just grabbed her light yellow bag and went downstairs putting it on the counter.
To my surprise father came down from the stairs.
Base on how he looked he probably was going to a meeting.
'Pass him one of the sandwiches and say "Father, would you like one?"'
"Father, would you like one?" I asked handing him one of the egg sandwiches.
He looked confused but wordlessly took the sandwich and left.
I knew why second voice did that.
We needed to be nice to father to avoid getting scolded.
And from experience we both know that he is more likely to be mad when he didn't take breakfast.
"Mara is done!" I heard Amaranth from behind me.
"Felix and lily aren't here today. So sissy will take their place." I told Amaranth while sitting down.
"Really!? So sissy will bring me to school!?" Amaranth's eyes lit up.
"Yes." I said eating my food.
"Yay! Sissy will be making my lunch too right!?" Amaranth cheered gobbling down her food.
"Mara, don't talk and eat. You will choke. Also. I did prepare your lunch box... It isn't as nice as what Lily makes but I hope you'll like it." I told her finishing my food.
"Mara likes everything that Sissy makes!" Amaranth said still eating her food.
I grabbed a white bag which was quite big and put everything I needed for today.
The lunch box of extra bunny apples, A pencil case, Notebook, Phone, Power bank, Personal Identification card, Wallet and Water bottle.
"I'm glad. We still have sometime before you go to school so take your time eating." I told Amaranth going to the front door to get our shoes.
"Yes sissy." Amaranth replied as I heard her out her plate in the sink.
"I thought I told you to take you time?" I asked.
"But Mara wanna go school early to meet with her friend!" Amaranth said wearing her shoes.
She already put on her backpack which I put her lunch box in.
"You've really taken a liking to Kiran haven't you." I said.
"Yup!" Amaranth replied bouncing on her feet.
"Do you know why he calls you Ara?" I asked opening the house door.
"I don't know. But Mara thinks it's cute!" Amaranth said as I locked the door behind us.
"Does Sissy know what Mara can Call Kiran?" Amaranth asked me as I put my hood up and wore my white mask so all you could see were my eyes.
"Try calling him Kira?" I said semi holding in my giggles.
"That sounds like a girls name." Amaranth said.
"It fits him. It means strong women and dark haired... Plus his hair is long enough to be tied up." I replied.
"Kiran does seem strong.... Ok! I'll call him Kira!" Amaranth cheered.
"Tell him the meaning of the words too. I can't wait to hear of his reaction..." I said as we approached a traffic light.
I didn't think of driving Amaranth there.
The school wasn't so far away anyway so.
I can walk her.
"Sissy... Your hand..." Amaranth whined.
I didn't notice I was holding her hand way to tightly.
"Sorry. Just... Don't run ok?" I said.
"Okay." Amaranth replied as we crossed the road.
"Is your hand okay?" I asked.
"Yup! Mara's hand is fine!" Amaranth replied.
It's lucky Amaranth called me or I would've probably held her hand so hard that it will bruise.
"Kira!" I heard Amaranth call.
I didn't even notice we were already at the school gate.
I saw the look of pure confusion on Kiran's face.
"Ara? What did you just call me?" Kiran asked.
Amaranth let go of my hand and wet towards Kiran.
"Kira! It means strong women and also dark haired!" Amaranth said.
"Miss robber did you suggest this?" Kiran asked me.
'I guess he saw me in this kind of attire before and guessed that it was me...'
"It's cute! Plus! I think you would look adorable if you tie your hair up." I said.
"No! No way!" Kiran denied.
"Kira is like a doll isn't he Si-"
'Cover Amaranth's mouth.' my second voice said and I acted quick.
"Hm. Hm?" Amaranth said.
"Mara, if you call me sissy then our cover is blown... Mara doesn't want people following her around right?" I whispered into her ear as her eyes widdened.
Amaranth nodded and I let go.
"Secretive much?" Someone else asked.
I didn't notice Lucas was standing there right beside Kiran.
He's eyes were red.
I guess he forgot his contacts...
"Um... Shouldn't you settle... Them?" I asked pointing to behind Lucas.
"Shit! I thought I already lost them! I need to go. Kir do not make any trouble! I'll see you at the library athanasia bye!" Lucas said dashing away from the paparazzi.
"And there goes my brother..." Kiran sighed.
"Mara, you should go in. It's about time." I told Amaranth.
"Ok bye!" Amaranth replied avoiding the word sissy.
"Come on Kira!" Amaranth called.
" I hate you for this..." Kiran told me and ran after Amaranth.
"Ara! Don't call me that!" I heard Kiran's voice from outside.
'I should try and tie up his hair one day...'
