Chapter 4 School is never my thing

"How could she just leave, She could have told us to follow her"Malia said as she bit her lip.

"Hey, Just let her be... I'm sure she wanted to be alone. She just pretended to be okay... She's having it tough in there" Elle sighed.

"Oh well, I'm ashamed to be a fan of Newton now, He just disgraced his fandom!"lia whispered

"Sssh, Gurl... No one knew the reason. There's always a reason for everything, There is even a reason why we have shadows"Elle said and Lia scoffed loudly. Their eyes met with Blaze who was coming from the changing room. Lia rushed to him.

"Blaze, Goodness... Did you forget I was your cousin or–

"No... Geez, Why would I?"Blaze cut in with a quick short laugh.

"Maybe it's because you are now famous unlike me... Just take a look at me, I now look like a rotten pumpkin"

"No, You don't... Seriously, You still look pretty" Blaze said with a smile.

"Whatever, I still envy you though, At least your dream came true. Mine didn't,, It's quite sad. Anyways, Is that how Newton really is? He's so annoying"

"No, Don't mind him... We will talk later, We've got to go"

"Wait... You guys aren't going to perform again?"

"Geez, Cousin! Why would we? We were messed up! See you later, And oh... Your friend is damn beautiful"

"Who?"

"Your friend!" He winked as he ran hurriedly trying to catch up with the rest.

"I know, I mean which of them? I've got two friends!"

"The one wearing black!" He yelled as he ran out of sight.

"Aissh! Who in particular? Both of them wore black"malia whispered as she looked on curiously.

*************************

That morning, Sam was so tired and sleepy. She managed to walk to the kitchen. Her mum was busy preparing breakfast.

"Mum, Good Morning" She said stretching her arms as she yawned.

"Morning to you, Lazy Head... Stop yawning like that, what if you swallow me?" Mrs Brooklyn joked.

Samantha was angry already, She hated the joke. It really made her sad and feel bad. But she knew her mum too well, Her mum would nag and nag because Sam wasn't that good with studies. Yeah, Samantha has written the University entrance examinations 5 times and she failed. She wasn't granted admission. She hated herself for that, She wished she was brilliant so she would be able to get into the University, Stanford University. It was one of the prestigious and best university in the whole city. It was also expensive, Samantha dream was to get into her dream university and make it big so that her mother would hail her.

"In my dreams"Samantha snorted loudly waking up from her deranged thoughts.

"Food is ready!" Mrs Brooklyn yelled as the others came into the room one by one. Mrs Brooklyn placed the big pot of food on the table and some utensils too.

The family members all sat on the chair with the big table in the middle. Let's Meet Mr Brooklyn, He is the father and bread winner of the family, He's the original restaurant owner of "Brooklyn's Delicacies"...The Restaurant is known for its best food, Be it Modern or Local. The restaurant is also huge and contains a lot of customers. Every night, The Restaurant would be so bright allowing Customers to be in comfort. It was always busy both morning and night. Most People would order for delivery and Samantha would be right up at your place.

Mrs Brooklyn, Yeah... She's the assistant manager of the Restaurant. Without her, The resturant wouldn't have made it to were it was. Like they said, In Every Successful Man, There's a woman. When the restaurant was still growing, She would go to the market, And cook the Restaurant Meals. Now, That it has grown... She hires people to do so. She never allows anyone to do deliveries for her except her first daughter, Samantha. Maybe, She does that to keep her busy rather than lagging around with her best friends.

Samantha Brooklyn, We all know her. She's a Tomboy, A big Time One! She has never thought herself to be a lady. She really hates when she's being called a "girly". Sometimes, She lies about her name saying she's "SAMUEL!" and not "SAMANTHA". She wears Boys clothing, From shirts to Tops, From Pants to Trousers, From Boyish Sandals to Shoes, From Caps to Hats. Though, Her family knew of her style. They respected it and never once thought about it again. It quite didn't bother them anymore like it did before. They were already used to it.

Samantha also loved food. Any kind of Food was her favorite. She would eat and eat like there no tomorrow and she didn't actually care. Upon everything, She never added too much weight. Eating was simply her hobby. Reading and Studying was much of her thing and that was why she failed her exams in 5 different years. She decided to give up already, Who were you kidding? She was 22 already. She decided to remain the Tomboy Delivery Girl forever!

Meet JOSHUA Brooklyn , He's the quiet and Shy type. Infact, He is so gentle and loving. He's cute too. He's 19 and still a last grader in college. He's very opposite to his elder sister, His Noona (Nonna; This is used to call Elder Girls or Sister and can only be used by Younger Males...On the other hand, Unnie is the opposite; This is used to call Elder Girls or Sister and can only be used by Younger Females). Joshua is very smart and good with studies. He's a book worm. He spends time in his room studying all night which Samantha find exhausting to do and watch.

Joshua is also a light eater. He drinks a lot of water too. He hates Noises and Distractions. That's when he shows his Real other self.

Meet Carly Brooklyn, The Last child and youngest daughter. She's just like Samantha. She's also a sharp mouthed human and quite disrespectful too. She loves anything blue! Cash!. As Young as she is, She can ruin you with her annoying speech. Sometimes, It would be very hard to believe she's actually 16 years old. Carly is also wise and smart. She's average when it comes to Studying. She loves food too but not like Sam.

"Samantha?" Mr Brooklyn called silently as he landed a spoonful of food into his mouth.

"Yes Dad?" Sam answered sweetly. Her Dad was her favorite. She just loved him because he was so caring and loving. They also seemed to be closer than the rest.

"Do you want to try again this year?" He asked almost in a whisper as the others turned to face him curiously

"What?"Sam returned back the question curiously.

"School....Do you want to write another exam?"

Sam looked at him without blinking, She swallowed hard speechless.

"No,I don't want to.... Aissh! Dad, You just made me lose my appetite!"Sam said as she stood up angrily.

"Wow? Did you just say lost your appetite?"carly asked

"Wow? Did you just say "Wow?"....Even Someone hungry who hasn't eaten for days can lose appetite after hearing or seeing what they shouldn't have.... Anyways, Mum... Who called in for delivery?" Sam asked leaving the table.

"Check the counter, Seems someone dropped a message" Mrs Brooklyn said as Samantha began to walk away.

"That's my wish, Sam...Do it for Dad! Who knows, Things might go well?" Mr Brooklyn said

"Dad! Stop already, I think you are just being too annoying... That what's you said every year? It never worked out! Why am i different? Why am i born this way? Why? Why? I don't even have any talent,I'm not smart either.... I'm scared Dad! What should I do if I fail once more, I would just be a big disgrace... So let's just stop this till I find what I want, Please!" She yelled as tears poured from her eyes.

"Oppa! Unnie has to do something about her eyes....She cries way too much despite being a Tomboy" Carly whispered to Josh.

"Just Mind your Business, Little one"josh whispered back with a stern look.

"She's owning me money though, I wonder where she even went last night... I'm going to let the money part slid till tomorrow,, If she doesn't pay up...I'm going to have to report to Mum" Carly thought as she watched Samantha who took the food delivery box rushing outside.
