Cherish Love

DYLAN ETHANIEL's POV

"Brother, are you really sure about this?" My younger sister asked that made me just smiled at her while I'm still driving.

"It will be alright. Just trust your brother, okay?" I told them as I saw them nodded their heads. I'm dropping them off first to their school before I go to my new school. Yes, new school because I just transferred school yesterday but I really thought that it was already impossible by this time because it's already in the middle of the school year but unexpectedly, I did.

"Brother..." I heard my younger brother asked me.

"Yes, Darryl?" I asked while I'm still focus on driving.

"Nothing will ever change, right?" My younger brother, Darryl asked worriedly. I took a glimpse of him before I returned my attention at the road.

"Of course… What made you two think that something will change?" I asked seriously because I can really sense their worries and concern.

"Because the girl you choose is from a very well known family…" My younger brother asked. I actually already told them that I'm getting married soon but the only thing that they didn't know is the fact that all of these are just temporary. They didn't know that it's just a contract marriage.

"Darryl… Diane..." I called them as we finally reached their school and parked my car. I turned to look at them who's sitting at the back while worriedly looking at me.

"Chloe is a great girl. She may be came from a family that is hard to reach especially now that our company is facing lots of problems but..."

"Chloe accepted me for who I am..." I said while still smiling at them. I know that what I'm telling them was just a lie but we need to do this because even Chloe herself… She will also lie to her parents about this… That's why I'm very sorry, Diane and Darryl for lying to the both of you…

"But brother---" Diane asked when the bell of their school and also my former school suddenly rang.

"It's time. I will answer your questions later but for now, go and study first." I said as I saw them both took a deep sighed before they nodded their heads.

"Yes, brother." They both said in unison. I just smile at them before I saw them unbuckle their seatbelts while I looked at the time again. It's already 7:30 AM. I should go now or else, I will be late for my first day at St. Alfonse Academy.

"Will you pick us up later, brother?" Diane asked that made me just nod.

"Of course, Diane… I'll be here as usual." I said while looking at them.

"Then can we meet that girl later, brother?" Diane asked suddenly that surprised me. Oh… They really do want to meet Chloe...

"Oh that… I'm not sure about that, Diane..." I said that made my younger sister disappointed. Actually, the time I told them about Chloe, they never stop asking me to meet her but knowing Chloe… I know that she's not ready yet because until now, she's still in shock in everything that has happened to her...to us.

"Then when?" Darryl asked. Geez. They're so persistent.

"Let's talk about this later, okay?" I asked and saw them both looked at each other before they nodded at me.

"Okay, fine. Bye, brother..." Diane and Darryl said that made me just nod.

"Goodbye. Good luck to both of you…" I said as I saw them nod at me before the went out of the car. I waited for them to enter the campus before I started the engine again and was about to start driving when my phone rings and when I look at the caller. It's him...

"Hello? Xander?" I said as I answered the call.

[Hey, are you on the way now?] Xander asked.

"Yes. I just dropped off my siblings at their school. Do you need something, Xander?" I asked because knowing him, he is also a busy person so calling someone this early morning means he has important things to say to you...

[Oh, yes… I didn't attend school today so I can't accompany you.] Xander asked seriously that made me just nod.

"It's all right. I can manage it anyway." I said. It's easy to ask someone for directions so I'm sure I'll be fine without him.

[No. Actually, the reason why I called you now is because there is already someone waiting for you at St. Alfonse Academy.] Xander said that surprised me. Really?

"Huh? Who's that?" I asked as I heard something like machines on the other line. Oh, I think he's in one of their locations sites...

[Nathan is our cousin. He's also a transfer student just like you but he knows the school well because he already studied there before…] I heard Xander said that made me just nod. That's good to hear...

"Is that so? Then how can I find him or how can I recognize him?" I asked him as I leaned my back in my seat.

[Well… He is also good looking like but he is quite arrogant.] I heard Xander said that made me furrowed my brow. What?

"Xander, I am not asking for that. Can you be more specific about his looks? Like his hair or something else…" I said before he becomes quiet for a while. Is it really that hard to describe their cousin?

[Just look for someone with a weird hair.] I heard Xander said. Huh?

"What?" I asked in confusion. Why hair?

[The last time, I saw him… His hair was burgundy red but it's been a week since he dyed his hair so I think he dyed his hair again but I'm not sure what color it is.] I heard he said that shocked me. What?

"Are you serious?" I asked in disbelief. Seriously?

[I am serious because that guy is weird.] I heard Xander said that made me smile. I don't know if this guy is telling me the truth or not but I guess I just have to look for him by myself.

"Fine. I'll try to find him." I said.

[Okay. Drive safely, Dylan.] Xander said that made me just nod.

"Thanks." I said before we ended the phone call. Okay… I restart the engine once again before I drive. St. Alfonse Academy is not too far from Scholastica Academy where my siblings are studying so I'll be there just in time.

I just arrived at St. Alfonse Academy. I parked my car first before going out of the car and just like what I've expected or shall I say, St. Alfonse Academy exceeded my expectation. Oh well, it should be because St. Alfonse Academy is the top school in this country and being a student in this school is really a privilege to all of us.

"Wow… Who's that guy?" I heard someone said that as I walked towards the campus.

"He is so handsome! Who is he?" I heard someone said again. Wait, are they talking about me?

"Oh my gosh! Is he an artist? I want to know his name!" The other said that made me smile as I continue to walk. Honestly, it feels awkward but I'm thankful that they appreciate my looks. Anyways, while I'm still walking… I was stopped when a green haired guy suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Hey!" This guy said as he gets closer that made me move backwards.

"W-what!?" I asked. T-that startled me. Who is he?

"Let me guess… You are Dylan Ethaniel La Flair, right?" This guy asked while still getting closer and closer to me while I also move backwards.

"I-i am b-but can you please don't get too close to me." I said that made him realize how close he is to me now and distance himself to me.

"Oh sorry about that. Hahaha! By the way, I am Nathan Santillan… Charles and Chloe's handsome cousin." This guy said as he introduced himself. Oh, so it's him. Xander is right… His cousin's hair really dyed his hair once again.

"Ah… So you are their cousin. By the way, it's nice to meet you, Nathan. Just call me Ethan." I said as I introduced myself as well and saw him surprised. Huh?

"Oh, our names rhymes. It's nice to meet you too, Ethan. So, shall we go now?" Nathan said that made me just nod before we enter the building.

"Anyways, I heard from Xander that you and my beloved cousin do have a relationship. Is that true?" Nathan suddenly asked seriously as we both walk beside each other.

"Yes, you're right." I said that made his face even more serious. Based on his reaction… I guess, Xander didn't tell him the whole truth.

"Are you serious about her?" Nathan asked that made just nod my head.

"You're not just using her, are you?" Nathan asked. I think he doesn't really like me. I just took a deep breath before I speak once again.

"I know that we did the wrong thing for hiding our relationship for a very long time but Chloe and I…" I said as we reached the second floor where the teacher's office is.

"No… I, myself is serious about her." I said before I looked at him and saw him staring at me. I guess, he's trying to determine if I was saying the truth or not but I hope that Nathan believes me because if I can't do that then it's impossible for me to make their parents believe that we have a relationship.

"Is that so? I thought you're just some random guy who'll just use my cousin." Nathan said as he nods his head that made me sigh in relief. Thank goodness, he believed in me. I just sighed again. I didn't expect that this setup will be as difficult as this.

"I'm sorry for what I've just said, Ethan." I heard Nathan said that made me just nod at him as I smile at him.

"No, it's alright. I understand. After all, Chloe is your precious cousin." I said that made him just nod as he smiles once again.

"Yes, you're right." He said as we finally reached the teacher's office. We both greeted all the teachers there before we went to our homeroom teacher to greet her before we go to our room which is in Year IV, Class A. Speaking of Class A… The entrance exam is so difficult! I actually never expected that their entrance exam is more difficult than in Scholastica Academy but luckily, I passed and was placed in Year IV, Class A which is where Chloe is right now. So, basically, it was pure luck why we ended up being in the same class. Hahaha!

"I'll get in first to introduce the two of you, okay? Just wait here for a while." Our homeroom teacher said that made us both nod our heads.

"Good morning, everyone." Our homeroom teacher said as she enters the room. Okay, this is it...

"This is weird…" I heard Nathan suddenly said that made me returned my attention to him and saw him looking for something in his bag.

"Why? What's wrong?" I asked while he's still looking for something.

"I think I forgot my I.D. in my car." He said in shocked as if he just realized just now. Oh…

"I'll get it first. If the teacher ask where am I. Just tell her that I just go to the comfort room." Nathan said that made me just nod.

"Sure." I said before he left. Geez. That's really troublesome because St. Alfonse is very strict with those things. I just took a deep breath when I saw our teacher called me. I started to walk inside the classroom.

"Good morning, everyone…" I said as I greeted them but for some reason, my eyes started to look for her already when I suddenly saw someone at the back suddenly raised her head up and looked at me in shocked. She's really here.

"Nice to meet you, everyone. I am Dylan Ethaniel La Flair but you can just call me Ethan… I hope that we could all be friends." I said while I'm smiling to everyone that made the girls here squealed while some guys glared at me. Hahaha! It's not my fault for being handsome, okay but… My attention was once diverted to Chloe who is now looking down in a dazed. Pfft. Hahaha! I guess this school year will definitely going to be fun and exciting.
