Love Magic: Two Different Hearts novel Chapter 18

Glen's POV

I slowly wake up and saw that grandma was already gone and the book was lying on the nightstand.

I slowly get up and stretch my hands up in the air, to the left side then to the right and end it with a deep sigh.

"Damn that feels so good" I mumble still half asleep then I suddenly yawn.

I then look at the book and reach for the it and bring it near me. I opened it and I trace my grandma's writings.

"Even though it looks old. It's still the best stories I've ever heard" I mumble while looking at the words.

(By the way if I didn't tell you that she wrote this one then I'm telling you now. That's why I can't find it in any library but maybe I might find it out at the new school)

I stand up and went to my drawer. I opened my secret compartment then place the book inside that grandma gave me along with the rest of the important things that I own.

(I always keep my secret belongings here so don't tell anyone because I'll find you and dispose-- joke I will just throw you in the river)

I closed the drawer and prepared for the day.

I went to the bathroom that is connected to my room. I prepare the bathtub and took a bath then did my rituals.

After I finished my rituals I changed into my clean clothes. I just chose a simple one like a white shirt and a black jogging pants then end it with a rubber shoe.

"OH SNAP That reminds me.... where going to get our uniform this Monday" I thought while looking at myself in the mirror for the final touch.

"Would the uniform look good on me" I mumble while looking myself on the whole size mirror I made my parents bought.

(Well I need this mirror to make sure at least I am properly groomed... Who wouldn't-- right? Even thought were not that attractive still let’s make ourselves one) I chuckle at my thoughts before taking a final glance at myself on the mirror.

When I think I'm already done I open my door just as the time my brother closed his door.

I look at him in surprise and I was really shocked. I scan at him up and down and then look at his face.

"What" he snaps making me look away at him.

"Nothing it's just that... wait" I said while still analyzing the situation before taking it in.

"Something's wrong" I mumble in confusion before I look at him again in disbelief.

"Why are you keep on looking at me" he complained and I ignored him.

"Something is really not right" I mumble again then I sigh.

"MOM WHAT DID YOU GIVE TO ACE HIS ALREADY DRESSED IN CLOTHES" I shouted making my brother scoff and frown at me.

"NOTHING I DIDN'T GIVE HIM ANYTHING" mom shouted at me.

"Nope she definitely did something and I need to find it out" I ranted while assessing my brother.

"THEN YOU SHOULD DO THAT OFTEN SO THAT WE WON'T BE LATE" I shouted and think of what did she do.

"Did the food last night affected him? Or the--"

"JUST GO DOWN AND EAT ALREADY. I'M GETTING ANNOYED HERE ALREADY. TALKING AND RANTING AND SHOUTING" my brother said hitting my head making me groan and chuckle nervously.

"Well who would think that you will be early and already dressed" I said teasingly while massaging me head.

He then headlock me and tried to dragged me to the kitchen.

"HEY DON'T TOUCH MY HAIR" I shouted at him when he ruffles my hair making me groan and get angry.

He just chuckled and continued to ruffle my hair while I complain my annoyance.

I hit his side and he immediately let go of me and groan in pain while glaring at me.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR" he shouted and I just fix my hair again and look at him groaning in pain.

(Serves you right) I thought while grinning at him.

"I said don't do that to my hair" I said in annoyance and he glared at me.

(I really didn't expect this. His already dressed and prepared just like me. And I'm surprised that he already chose clothes moreover just a simple one. I guess he followed my advice) I thought while looking at him.

I immediately went downstairs when I saw Ace charging towards me.

"DAMN YOU COME HERE AND I'LL FIX THAT HAIR OF YOURS" he shouted making me run for my life.

"SHIT" I cursed as I run down the stairs and he followed me also trying to catch me.

I run to the living room and went behind the couches to try and escape him. He followed suite and we played catch the thief.

He is the police and I'm the thief. We run around the house until dad stopped us.

"Time to eat already or you'll be late" dad snicker when he appeared in the living room.

"Your slow Ace. You can't even catch me" I snicker and tease Ace while we were both panting but Ace is more tired than I am.

He is panting like his already going to fall down so he went to sit down on the couch and catch his breath.

"Dad did you have him when you were having an exercise cause damn, he sure can run" Ace snorted making me look at dad and I was frozen.

He looked uncomfortable with the subject and just went away to the kitchen making my eyes wide open.

(D--on't t--ell me t--hat Ace was-- FUCKING RIGHT) I screamed on my head while looking at dad in shock.

I look at Ace and he was also wearing the same expression as me.

(WHAT THE FUDGE.....) I cursed in my mind while he also looked like he's cursing too in his mind.

"I KNEW IT... DAD" my brother shouted making me just laugh in realization.

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT" my father shouted at the dinning.

"DAD YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE IT WHEN I WAS-- YOU KNOW SO THAT I COULD ALSO RUN LIKE HIM" he shouted making me laugh even more.

"Damn I knew it something was really fishy and now I know why" he said looking damn shocked making me just laugh.

"Now you know" I teased and he look at me in annoyance before looking away.

"I need to know how so that I can make my kids run like you" he said and I nearly choked. I look at him in wide eyes as I see him looking like his about to confront dad.

"Wait is this guy serious" I mumble in disbelief and he looked at me seriously.

We look at each other and then run to the dinning where my father is hiding.

He was sitting on the other end of the table while reading the newspaper and a glass of water beside him.

Food was already on the table and I think mom is still on the kitchen.

Ace went to approach him and I just sit on one of the chairs and look at them.

"Dad tell me the truth" Ace said interrogating dad when we entered the kitchen and I was eyeing them in amusement.

He was trying to ignore Ace since you can see that he was uncomfortable and acting awkward making Ace to pester him even more.

"Come on dad. I want also my kids to run like him" he snorted and I saw dad choked on the glass of water he was drinking making it spill on the table.

He eyed Ace and then ignored h and try to wipe the spilled water on the table.
