?Elsa POV?
“For starters, she said I looked cute and I took it as a compliment__”.
I cut him off. “Just get to the point”.
“She asked me if I consider her beautiful and hot”. Tristan said.
I raised an eyebrow. “Beautiful and hot?”.
He nodded in response. “Isn’t that weird?”.
“Just ignore it”. I replied facing my clothes on the bed.
“So have you changed your mind?”.
I turned. “About what?”.
“You know, SpringCity?”.
I crossed my arms. “Why do you care?”.
“You are my sister and I love you, you are so nice and all that”.
I rolled my eyes. “Thats bullshit. The real reason”.
“I want to know if you are in a good mood so you can come with me to the City Park”. He explained. “There’s the really cool girl I wanna see”.
I sighed. “Fine I’ll come. I just need to dress up”.
“Okay. I’m outside”. Tristan said walking out.
I shoved the remaining of my clothes into the duffel bag and threw it on the bean bag.
I wore a light white T-shirt and black jeans with white sports shoe.
I went out the door. “I’m done. Lets go”.
We ran downstairs and I went to go meet Mary in the Kitchen.
“Elsa, darling. Do you need anything?”.
“I’m off to the park with Tristan. Just wanted to let you know”. I told her.
She faced me. “Okay but please try to take Beverly along”.
I smiled. “Sure thing”.
I went back to the living room to meet Tristan standing impatiently holding his skateboard.
“About time. Lets go”.
“Wait, I need to go check up on Beverly”.
He groaned. “Just do it fast”.
I ran up the stairs and went over to Beverly’s room. I pushed open her door stepping in and met her staring at her reflection in the mirror.
“I’m too beautiful for him anyways”. She mumbled.
“Hey”. I said.
She turned immediately. “What are you doing here?”.
“I live in your house, remember”.
She rolled her eyes. “Not that, why didn’t you knock before you come in”.
“I never knock, Beverly, you know that”.
She sat on her bed. “What do you want?”.
“Tristan and I are going to the park. Do you wanna tag along?”.
She scoffed. “Seriously? Elsa, I’m not a ten year old”.
I furrowed my eyebrows. “Ten year old? Beverly, we are not going there to play. I just wanna__”.
“Elsa, I have better things to do”. She said interrupting me.
“What things?”. I asked.
“I’m a cheerleader, Elsa, I need to keep myself fit and all that. You wouldn’t know since you are not a cheerleader”. She replied.
“Beverly, you are acting kinda not like you. Whats going on?”. I asked concerned.
“Nothing okay. Its just stress”. She answered.
“Stress? Come on, Beverly. You can tell me”. I persuaded her.
“Its nothing. I’m just trying to get close to Sapphire and Kimberly because I have a crush on Carl, the Captain of swimming team”.
I raised an eyebrow. “Thats all?”.
“Thats all. I don’t need to tell you everything okay”.
The door opened immediately and Tristan came in.
“Do you people not knock?”. Beverly asked exasperatedly.
Tristan ignored her. “Elsie, you coming or not?”.
“Hey Tris”. Beverly called twirling her hair.
I held Tristan’s hand and led him out of her room as we went downstairs.
“I told you she was weird”. Tristan said as we walked out of the house.
“Stop saying that”. I warned him.
He rolled his eyes and got on his skateboard.
“What are you doing? I’m driving”. I said.
“Elsie, we are going to the park, no need for a car”. He said.
I sighed and walked along with him as he propelled his skateboard.
“So who’s this hot girl you wanna see?”. I asked curiously.
Tristan smiled. “She’s really beautiful and quiet but she is not a ne.rd. Just an introvert”.
“And you know all this when you saw her for the first time today?”. I asked amused.
He laughed. “Lets just say it was an observation or maybe I stared at her throughout class”.
“How do you know she’s gonna show up at the park?”. I asked as we walked down the curb.
“I kinda peered into her bag while she wasn’t looking. She had a drawing of a roller skate so I definitely know she will be skating at the skatepark”. He explained.
We arrived at the park minutes later and Tristan kept looking around.
“Have you seen her?”. I asked him.
He didn’t respond, he scanned the whole park searching around.
While searching around, i noticed Bryan at a park bench and he was seated next to Carl. Wait Carl?
The same Carl who was nice to me in Biology class. Why was he here with Bryan? Both of them were talking and It really seemed serious as Bryan was frowning.
“She’s there”. Tristan popped into my thoughts bringing back me to reality.
I trailed the direction of his eyes and noticed he was staring at a girl sitting on one of the park benches.
I guess She was drawing because there were pack of brushes next to her and also pencils. She had brown hair which was swept over her shoulder, she looked up and I noticed she had eyes that reminded me of Bryan.
I turned to see Tristan staring at her.
I nudged him. “Go talk to her”.
“I cant. I’m so nervous”.
“Come on, Tristan”. I urged him. “You can do it”.
He took a deep breath then began walking towards her then immediately he came back.
“I cant do it, Elsie”.
I sighed and held his hand walking towards the girl.
I tapped her. “Hey”.
She looked up. “Hi”.
I nudged Tristan to say something but he didn’t, he continued staring at her intensely.
“I know you, you are that boy who went through my things”. She frowned at Tristan.
I gawped at Tristan. He went through her things? Gosh!! I have a cr@zy brother.
“He came to apologize for what he did”. I said.
“Yeah I actually came to say sorry for what I did”. Tristan said still staring at her.
“You know its not cool going through people stuffs”.
I liked her voice, it was really smooth, Tristan was right, she was really gorgeous. She may be around Tristan’s age, i think, 16 year old or maybe 15.
“I’m really sorry about that”. Tristan replied nervously.
“Apology accepted”. The girl said and continued sketching on her book.
“I’m Tristan by the way”.
“Victoria”. She answered still sketching.
“You love skating?”. Tristan asked.
She nodded. “Yeah, do you?”.
Then they began talking. And thats how to be a matchmaker. I smiled at what I did.
I walked away giving them some privacy.
I looked back at where I saw Bryan and Carl was earlier and noticed only Bryan was there.
I took a deep breath and walked towards him. It wont hurt to say hello at least.
I walked towards him. “Fancy meeting you here”.
He looked up. “Elsa, nice to see you”.
I smiled. “Can i sit?”.
He nodded. “Sure”.
I sat beside him. “So what are you doing here?”.
“I was here for a while watching how you were so good being a matchmaker but I don’t think i’d let my little sister have a boyfriend yet”. He said.
I gasped. “She’s your sister? The girl my brother is talking to right now?”.
He nodded. “Yep. Victoria Stark. My little sister”.
