Marco's POV

3 hours ago...

"Marco, let's go! I want to go shopping!" Cara squeaked and threw a pillow at me. "But it's boring!" I whined and threw the people back at her.

"For you, but I'm a girl! We're scientifically proven very different!" she said, but I just ignored her and her mega genius mind.

"Ugh, I'm telling Mom!" she shouted and ran, immediately making me nervous. I quickly stood up and ran after her. "Cara, wait! I'll do it!" I shouted with desperation.

Oh, God knows how much of a monster my mother is when she's angry, and to make things worse, it's Cara's fault that I'll get in trouble.

"Cara, wa-"

What the hell.

"Oopsies." she said and wickedly laughed.

Oh, nothing happened. It's just that my sister tripped me and my face kissing the floor, note the sarcasm. I lifted my swollen face and glared at my sister.

She knelt down and brought her face closer to mine, teasing me with a smile. "I think I heard my older brother say that he'll come and help me with my shopping, am I right or am I right?"

I rolled my eyes and stood up. "How did I even become your brother?" I annoying whispered. "Well, the only logical explanation is that Mom and Dad saw each other and fell in love. Then when they felt that "moment", they went to the bedroom and-"

"Stop!" I quickly exclaimed while breathing heavily. "How did you know these kind of stuff?" She shrugged and and answered: "Jonathan. He says the most craziest but interesting things."

Remind me to kill that Jonathan later, even if it takes me to kill all those pigs in this world. "Now, quickly dress up within ten minutes or else I'll dress you up myself." she said seriously. "I'll meet you downstairs, toodles!"

After she left, I immediately ran to my closet and took the first thing my hand grabbed. The last time she dressed me up, it didn't and never turned out pretty. I cringed when I remembered the thought.

God, wearing a tutu on the school's dance was my mistake, but letting my sister to fix my clothes was the greatest mistake I ever had.

"Five, four, three, two, one! Tutu, here I come!" she shouted and opened the door. "Marco, you slow-" her smile instantly turned into a frown when she saw me fully-dressed.

"Sorry, sis," I laughed and messed up her hair. "But no pink and short tutus today." She rolled her eyes and walked out of my room. "Whatever, let's just go, you jerk." she said, as I followed her out.

"Mom, I'm going to the mall with Marco." Cara casually said and kissed Mom's cheek. "Okay, stay safe and make sure you don't forget anything!" Mom shouted. "And Marco, you better look out for your little sister. Remember, you're older than her, you should know better."

She's telling me that "You're older so you're responsible" thing again. I secretly rolled my eyes and kissed her cheek. "Yes, mom. I'm gonna go now." I said and followed Cara.

"What took you so long?" she asked in an annoyed tone. "Mom just gave me "the talk" again." I replied. "Oh, that... that sucks." she said, but I know that she's celebrating on the inside for a petty reason.

"Whatever, let's just go." I said and put my arm over her shoulders. She surprisingly squealed and pushed me away from her. "Marco, ugh! How dare you put your stinky underarm at me!"

I smirked and decided to tease her. "Oh look, it's Jan!" I said and pointed behind her. She smirked back and intertwined her arms over her chest. "Huh, did you really think-"

"Hey, Marco."

My smirk stretched when I saw Cara stiffened. I winked at her and mouthed, "I told you so." I walked towards Jan and man-hugged him. "Hey, man. Glad you came." I greeted him as he nodded.

"Is that your sister? I heard you call her sis earlier." he asked. I nodded and pulled my still shocked sister. "Jan meet Cara, my sister. Cara meet Jan, my best bro." I said teasingly.

Jan held out his hand and my sister slowly shook it. She's probably "feeling" the moment. "Hey, I'm Jan, with the A." he said. "I'm Ca-Cara, with th-the C." she stupidly stuttered.

"You guys make me barf. Let's just go to the mall." I said and pulled them both as we head our way to the mall.

"Why didn't you tell me Jan was coming?" she asked quietly. "Well, if you knew, then I'm the one who's gonna wait for my sister that spends most of her time looking for the perfect makeup." I said, straight to the point.

"Touche," she laughed. "But really, do you really want to embarass me that much, to the point you brought the boy I stalked for since the beginning of time?"

"Touche." I said and we both laughed. "Marco, you guys go. I'm just gonna go to the restroom." Jan said and left. "Cara, go and shop or whatever you want, just text me where you are." I said and she nodded.

"Wait, I'm coming with you!" I said as I catch up to him. When we entered the restroom, I asked him: "So what do you think of my sister?" He looked at me briefly and shrugged. "She's good, I guess." he answered.

Oh, Cara, you totally owe me your life.

After we do our business, I went first since he got a phone call to answer. As soon as I got out, I instantly saw Cara... talking to a boy and a girl. I walked towards them, and got the full view of who she's talking to.

Ethan hugging Olivia.

What a beautiful sight.
