Like the snow

Chapter 15

*Shiroi's p.o.v*

It's 2:30 PM now …

I've just returned from school … I didn't feel hungry so I decided to study a little

As soon as I opened one of my books my phone got rang …

I checked it as I let out a sigh …

It's Keita again …

At first I ignored him but he continued calling nonstop …

I picked it up … "What is it !? If you had anything to say you should have say it at school!"

He answered with a serious tone: "I have a favor to ask you …"

A favor?

"You have lots of friends so why me?" I questioned

"They can't help me with such a thing …"

He sounded troubled so I thought I may help him … just because I don't like to owe anyone anything

"So … what is that favor?"

"Umm … my little sister is sick and I don't know what to do … she refuses to go to the hospital …"

Realizing that taking care of a child is probably not a big deal I said: "… Send me the address"

"okay thanks" I could notice his tone getting a little more joyful

I hung up then headed to my closet picking up a light blue pleated front shirt and a warm gray classic flare jeans

I got out of my apartment thinking about how would Keita's sister look like … she'd better not be as annoying as him …

I decided to walk there since the address wasn't too far from here … 20 minutes later I was right infront of his house

I rang the bell and waited for few minutes then the door was opened

"You're late ~ " Keita stuck out his tongue

Perhaps that was his way of greeting? …… it's not like I care anyway

"Whatever … so where's your sister?"

"In her bed … follow me"

I grumbled: "For the hundredth time don't command me … I'm doing this on my own you know"

"Yeah yeah"

Noticing the silence in here I asked: "So where's your parents? or siblings?"

"My parents are always busy and I don't have any other siblings … it's only me and my little 10 years old sister" he answered continuing his way upstairs to her room

Carefully he opened the door not to wake her up

I take a look at her sleeping baby face …

Her curly blond hair was resting on her face. However, I could still see how pretty she is

I cautiously moved her hair away of her face as I felt her burning …

"Where's the kitchen?" I murmured to Keita

He showed me the way to it as I made her a porridge

I took it and headed back with a towel and some cold water

I placed it on her forehead as she slowly opened her eyes

"Oh … did I wake you up?"

Instead of saying anything she just opened her light green eyes and stared at me …
