Chapter 11 - Sister-In-Law Fan Club
Emilin chuckled a little. With the appearance of two people she didn't have to be nervous around, she quickly forgot that she was still in her classroom surrounded by her classmates that were now in a state of disbelief.
Some of the more common thoughts running through these people's minds went something like this:
'What the hell…'
'They're all siblings?'
'Why the heck are they all so damn good looking.'
'Did they win the genetic lottery or was it their parents. They probably just all won one after the other.'
As for the girls, it went something like this:
'No way. I can't be like this. Theodore is supposed to be my crush… I can't do this to him. I can't jump ships now. F*CK IT. Imma jump!' Multiple girls looked at each other in mutual understanding.
They were already huddled up while waiting for Emilin's snack opening, what they hadn't expected was for such premium eye candies to show up. They glanced at each other one last time before taking out their phones one by one. Going to their own group chats. One of them being the Fan Club. The higher-ups, however, had their own chat. These were the people who first founded the club because they greatly appreciated Emilin's help.
Some were from her class and there were also some who were not.
They were also people who admired Theodore's looks, but the majority weren't crazy enough to think that they actually had a chance with him. It was more like a fan club for idols.
Sister-in-law Fan Club Higher Ups Group Chat:
'Lolita': [I'm so sorry Theo. I might have to leave you. I don't want to I swear, but I think I have found true love today. On another note. DID YOU JUST SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL THE GODESS WAS JUST NOW!]
'Kylester': [Yes, I'm with you. Rest In Peace people who were on the Theo ship… the ship has sunk, it was unfortunate, but it had to happen.]
'President': [Wait. Wait, let's all stay relatively calm. We don't have to jump ships just yet. The group is a sister-in-law fan club, we didn't specify which sister-in-law. This isn't jumping ships, we are just adding a new member to the ship.]
'Vice-President': [What are you guys talking about? Did something happen?]
'President': [Our goddess has another brother. Well I'll send a picture; it will speak for itself]
'President': [*Picture*]
'Vice-President': [Holy Shmoly]
'Ave': [He looks so familiar.]
'Lolita': [Girl, you can't use lines that are that old to call dibs. Remember no dibs here.]
'Ave': [No I mean it, I think I've seen him somewhere, maybe on the news?]
'Ave': [HOLY SH*T!]
'Ave': [IT'S HIM]
'Vice-President': [I thought Ave never swore]
'Ave': [He's the one who won the national Jujitsu Championship two years in a row. It was the 18+ championships and he was just a newbie back then. Then, last year, during his interview, he said that he wasn't participating anymore.]
(Ave also participated in Jujitsu and was a part of the school's team, but she didn't do any other sports and so she was only familiar with the news about Jujitsu.)
'Kylester': [No way. No wonder he has such muscles. *Wipes Drool*]
'President': [You guys will have to make do; I can't waste more time texting.]
'President' went offline
'Lolita': 'Bye, I have to go to eat. With my eyes.'
'Lolita' went offline
'Kylester' went offline
'Vice-President': [F*ck you.]
Back to the classroom, Emilin had let go of both Nathen and Theo who had both pulled chairs up to her desk and sat down. She had just realized that everyone was looking at her, making her nervous again. She lowered her head and put her poker face back on.
Both Nathen and Theo were already used to this and so they didn't comment. They also didn't want others to see how adorable their little sister was. They did however worry about how troubled she was when it came to making friends.
She was able to talk normally to just about anyone, but whenever it was implied that she was either going to become friends with someone, or she thought of someone as possible friends, her nerves would spike.
She was scared to say something that would scare people who she wanted to befriend away.
"How come you came to our classroom?" She asked, but not in an accusing nor annoyed voice. Just pure curiosity.
"I'm hurt. I already informed the teacher for your next period and he said that he would give us some time, I told the principal I was coming too." This was one of the perks of being a good kid.
Nathen had also gone to this high school and won multiple awards for various sports teams he played in. Actually, they even hung his jersey along with the cups he helped win, but they only used his initials on those and so most people wouldn't know it was him.
Those who bothered to ask would only be told that it was from a senior who had already graduated. Those who weren't at the school at the time he was, just wouldn't know who he was, even if they saw him.
Nathen kept talking, "We have a soccer game with a University nearby in the afternoon and I didn't want to delay celebrating even further. You might misunderstand and think that we forgot about your birthday." He explained with a teasing tone which Emilin missed.
"I thought you stopped all of your other sports to concentrate on basketball and volleyball." She pointed out.
"I did. But I asked them to add me as a sub so I could come here today."
"And they allowed that?" Emilin was doubtful.
"Of course not. They pushed me as a starting player, but I already told them that I'm was not going to be able to come to the after-party. The captain said that it would be good if the newcomers were able to see a real game, so they agreed to take turns to sit out. That was before I could even voice any objections." Nathen blinked twice to show his innocence in the matter.
"Well good luck then." Nathen would sometimes forget how useless these tiny tactics were on his little sister. It didn't matter because she was just like him. No matter what happened, family always came first so there was no need for small actions.
"Let's cut the cake already." Theo interrupted with a pout before he was forgotten again. He would only act in such a childish manner when he was talking to his family. Both Nathen and Emi nodded in agreement
Theo cut the cake while Nathen gave the pieces to his sibling's classmates.
Some of the boys who had also recognized this big sports idol were looking at him in awe. They saw him on the magazine covers from the competitions he went to after high school.
The girls were drooling. Over the cake. Yes, the cake.
Nathen soon reached a couple of girls that were looking at him with eyes that he was all too familiar with. The 3 girls were part of the higher-ups of Emilin's fan club, who were also conveniently Theo's fans, and now Nathen's too.
Lola 'Aka. Lolita' took the cake that was handed to her and said 'can I touch your abs' to Nathen... in her mind. She froze a little.
Phoebe 'Aka President' was actually able to get some works out. "Hey, are you our goddess's brother?" She asked which led Nathen to let out a chuckle, that she didn't understand.
"Yeah, I'm Nathen. Thanks for taking care of my sister." He said with a smile.
"Oh um. It's the goddess that is always taking care of us. She's probably the only reason why all of us will be able to go to our dream schools." She started to mumble a little and had to try really hard to get her words right. She definitely didn't want to get her words wrong right now.
Kylie 'Aka Kylester', on the other hand, was relatively calm, starting to eat with her mind completely empty until the moment Nathen said his goodbyes and left.
What soon followed was Kylie's frustrated grunts. "What just happened. Did I really just do that? I can't believe it. No way, that was so embarrassing. I couldn't even get a word out."
"Hey what did he say?" She added. She just completely blanked and had an 'Emilin' at that moment.
"Frick. I think I was worse off. I'm pretty sure I sounded like a weirdo back there." Phoebe retorted ignoring her last question.
"I want your abs," Lola said before realizing that the hot guy had already left, leaving her with awkward silence, which wouldn't last long.
Not that it would have been less awkward if he had still been there.
"Darn. He left." Actually, the ones that were having an awkward moment were Lola's friends that were looking around to see if anyone heard her. That would be the moment in which they would have to pretend they didn't know her.
Lola herself didn't feel awkward at all.
Nathen who had already passed the cake around came back to his seat next to Emilin.
"Your classmates are quite interesting you know?" he commented.
"If I knew, then I wouldn't be sitting here right now." She snorted. Knowing that her brother was finding amusement in her plight.
"Really now, I think we'll never know then," Theo added, not hiding his mirth either. They would be happy if Emilin was able to make new friends, but they wouldn't push her past her limits either. She needed some space to grow and coddling her all the time wouldn't be of any help.
Though it was quite interesting seeing their all-knowing little sister being ignorant for once.
