Time Machine Chapter 2: So Into You

The cheeky kid walked into class like every other morning and greeted any of her classmates who were earlier than her, even Jake. After that he made his way to his seat only to find the one behind him empty. He turned to his seatmate.

‘Morning, Fany. Where’s Sica?’ he cocked his head to one side.

‘Morning! Sica caught a cold so she’s not allowed to come to school for a while.’

The cheerful expression on Ty’s face fell a little but it wasn’t very noticeable.

‘Oh...hey, wanna go see her later?’ Ty beamed at the idea

‘After school? I can’t…I got flute lessons today…’ a disappointed Tiffany pouted.

‘We can always go again tomorrow..but I’m still going later’

Ty’s driver dropped him off at the Jung’s residence after school.

‘Oh? Tyler, what brings you here?’ Mrs Jung greeted the child with a warm smile.

‘Fany said Sica has a cold and I didn’t see her in school today…I miss her’ he looked down and mumbled softly the last part, but Mrs Jung caught it. ‘…so I’m here for a visit’ Ty played with his fingers while explaining to Mrs Jung.

Oh dear, isn’t this kid precious?! Haha

‘Jessica’s room is the first door on the left. Why don’t you go up first and I’ll come later’ Mrs Jung gave Ty a push and up the stairs the child went.

Knock knock knock

A soft ‘yes?’ was heard and Ty opened the door to see a little lump on the bed with a lot of tissue laying around on the bed stand. The lump sat up and a little head popped out from the blanket.

An ‘Oh? Tyler??’ and a sneeze followed. ‘You shouldn’t be here…you’ll get my germies…’

‘I don’t mind. I didn’t see you in school today..I miss you’

‘Jessi, let’s just sit down and think this through…when did is start? When did he start to avoid you?’

‘Tiff..you have me tied down to my chair..i don’t have much of a choice but to sit….’

In a desperate attempt to get her cousin to sit still and talk, Tiffany had used all her strength to pin the latter down on the chair and swiftly, used one of her scarves to tie Jessica to the chair.

‘Like I had other choices, Jess. Now, can we talk in peace?’ Tiffany sat cross legged on Jessica’s bed with her arms supporting her weight as she leaned back and cocked her head to the right.

Jessica simply looked at her, amused really, and Jessica was rarely amused. With a sigh, she planted her feet firmly on the ground and stood up as far as she could, given her situation, and was about to walk out the door. Tiffany saw it coming and quickly scrambled off the bed and pushed the chair down, hard.

‘TIFF!! IT HURTS!!’

‘Why can’t you just sit quietly and talk?!!’

‘Why can’t you leave me alone to pack?!!’

The two cousins were gritting their teeth and glaring at each other.

‘Why won’t you tell me why you want to leave?!!’

‘Why are you so nosy!!!!’

‘Because I am your cousin!! That’s why!!’

Jessica broke the staring contest first and sighed.

‘Fine…’

‘Excuse me?’

‘I’ll talk. Now please untie me’ but Tiffany didn’t budge ‘I’m serious. I. WILL. TALK. Untie me.’
