Little Crush

“THAT WENT FASTER than I expected,” Ezekiel said, trying to ease the silence.

The process had gone smoothly—papers signed, fees paid, and everything set for the twins to begin their studies.

Vivienne nodded, her gaze shifting around as she scanned the area.

"Yeah, but where's Vince?" she asked, realizing only Vera was by her side.

Vera, always full of energy, perked up.

“I’ll go find him!” she said excitedly, already dashing off before her parents could respond.

Vivienne sighed softly, giving Ezekiel a small smile.

“I guess we should’ve expected that.”

Ezekiel chuckled and nodded, “We’ll give them a few minutes. Vince will turn up.”

Meanwhile, Vera weaved her way through the school grounds, her eyes sharp as she looked for her twin brother. She was halfway down the courtyard when she saw someone familiar standing by the school fountain. It was Genesis, the boy she had met at her dad's party.

He seemed to be waiting for someone, and when their eyes met, he gave her a small wave.
