Chapter 8 : an unexpected morning

  (Niko,s perspektive)

  After a long sleep I slowley gain back my consciousness and turn in my bed. Still a bit tired with my eyes closed I immerse into what in the morning always seems to be the most comfortable bed. But back in mind I knew that soon my personal enemy the wakemaster 3000 would terrorize me out of my bed. So I just leaned back into the pillow and enjoyed the moment before I get woken up. Moments pass but no sound seems too go off from the arm maybe I just woke up really early I thought and stayed in my bed. So more time passes and now I was almost sure the arm would have gone off by now but it was quiet. Then suddenly I felt small little pulls at my arm slowley opening my eyes i see my sister at the foot off my bed lightly pulling my arm. And as our eyes meet she says with a bright smile

  "Good morning big brother"

  Surprised I say "ehh your already awake ?"

  "Yeah I thought I'd wake up today"

  She said in an surprisingly energetic way. Looking behind her I couldn't believe my eyes all the trash that had accumuted over the summerbreak was gone the room was completely clean.

  "So I'll be waiting in the Living room I made us some breakfast today" she said

  "But didn't we both agree that I do the breakfast for the item you gifted me ?"

  "Ah don't worry about that"

  And with that she just left leaving me in my bed. Was I dreaming or something like is this real shutting and opening my eyes multiple times i just made sure. But the room was still clean. After 2 and a half years this is the first time I have seen her so active in our living space it felt odd but I couldn't really pinpoint why she was like this out of the blue. Standing up with an kind of strange feeling I change into my clothes and enter the livingroom. Opening the door I see my sister sitting at the dining table. On the table where 2 ptes of food with some bread sausages and fried eggs. Wait she actually cooked food without me having to ask her. Sitting down at the table I look down at the food on my pte it actually looks good. But everything just felt off it was such an odd unusual change from her normal behavior. Looking up at my sister i just see her throwing me a smile.

  "Is something wrong ?" She asked

  " No no it's just really strange why are you doing all off this all off a sudden?"

  "Well I just wanted to be nice to my big brother that's all"

  " Sureeee and there's no other secondary motive why you're doing all of this ?"

  With a slight smile she said " no"

  There definitely was something off about her or so it felt to me. Then she would usually never do something around house without something to gain from it. But on other hand I welcomed the change then it felt like it was about time. And so I started eating my food. It was good and it tasted great actually. And I thought she didn't pay attention when I tried to teach her cooking. Halfway through my meal I again noticed something off about my sister this morning shifting my focus from my food I noticed that my sister just sat there watching me with an almost cold look in her eyes practically staring through my soul as she sat there on the otherside of the table she hadn't even touched her pte yet. It felt like she was frozen in pce staring at me. And so I asked her

  "Hey ah everything alright you haven't touched you're food yet you're not hungry ?"

  And as I asked her that her warm expression in her face returned. And as if nothing unusual just happend she responded.

  "Yeah I'm alright ... My mind is just a bit busy at the moment thinking about a lot of stuff .. I think I will eat ter"

  " Oh okay what's on you're mind "

  " It's fine I think I'll soon have it figured out " she smiled brightly and then added " but for now I don't think I'm ready too talk about it"

  Responding to her i say " that's okay if you ever wanna talk about I'm always here for you"

  And so i continued eating and as I finished i stood up to go my room and grab my schoolbag. But as I headed towards our room my sister called out to me

  " looking for you bag ?"

  "Yeah" I responded and as I look back at my sister there it was. She standing in the livingroom held it up into the air. Looking at me she said "everything is already inside you just need to grab it"

  Walking over to her i grab my bag and I say "thanks"

  Smiling at me she responds "always a pleasure to help my big brother"

  And as I go towards the door too put on my shoes my sister standing beside me asks " hey brother will always be there for me "

  "Of course" I reply closing my shoes.

  And as I am about to open the frontdoor I hear my sister's voice quietly saying

  "Then why don't you just cut out Touka ? you don't need her"

  I Turn around to double check what she just said and ask

  "What did you say ?"

  But she just said " I didn't say anything but brother I wish you a good day at school" she said with warm voice

  "Thank you" I said and with that I left and made my day towards my school. But at the way to School I couldn't help but think about my sister almost completely different behavior this morning. Normally she always feels like she doesn't care about anything. But today was different it felt unnatural to me compared to her usual self. But I sweept those thoughts away focusing back on getting to school and today's subjects.
