“How could she just leave, She could have told us to follow her” Flora said as she bit herl-ip.
“Hey, Just let her be… I’m sure she wanted to be alone. She just pretended to be okay… She’s having it tough in there” Lizzy sighed.
“Oh well, I’m ashamed to be a fan of Ethan now, He just disgraced his fandom!” Flora whispered
“Sssh, Gurl… No one knew the reason. There’s always a reason for everything, There is even a reason why we have shadows” Lizzy said and Flora scoffed loudly. Their eyes met with Eric who was coming from the changing room. Flora rushed to him.
“Eric, Goodness… Did you forget I was your cousin or–
“No… Geez, Why would I?” Eric cut in with a quic-k short laugh.
“Maybe it’s because you are now famous unlike me… Just take a look at me, I now look like a rotten pumpkin”
“No, You don’t… Seriously, You still look pretty” Eric said with a smile.
“Whatever, I still envy you though, At least your dream c@mÂŁ true. Mine didn’t,, It’s quite sad. Anyways, Is that how Ethan really is? He’s so annoying”
“No, Don’t mind him… We will talk later, We’ve got to go”
“Wait… You guys aren’t going to perform again?”
“Geez, Cousin! Why would we? We were messed up! See you later, And oh… Your friend is damn beautiful”
“Who?”
“Your friend!” He win-ked as he ran hurriedly trying to catch up with the rest.
“I know, I mean which of them? I’ve got two friends!”
“The one wearing black!” He yelled as he ran out of sight.
“Aissh! Who in p@rticular? Both of them wore black” Flora whispered as she looked on curiously.

That morning, Alexa was so tired and sleepy. She managed to walk to the kitchen. Her mum was busy preparing breakfast.
“Mum, Good Morning” She said stretching her arms as she yawned.
“Morning to you, Lazy Head… St©p yawning like that, What if you swallow me?” Mrs Lynn joked.
Alexa was angry alre-ady, She hated the joke. It really made her sad and feel bad. But she knew her mum too well, Her mum would nag and nag because Alexa wasn’t that good with studies. Yeah, Alexa has written the University entrance examinations 5 times and she failed. She wasn’t granted admission. She hated herself for that, She wished she was brilliant so she would be able to get into the University, Bright Axis University. It was one of the prestigious and best university in the whole city. It was also expensive, Alexa dream was to get into her dream university and make it big so that her mother would hail her.
“In my dreams” Alexa snorted loudly waking up from her deranged thoughts.
“Food is re-ady!” Mrs Lynn yelled as the others c@mÂŁ into the room one by one. Mrs Lynn placed the big pot of food on the table and some utensils too.
The family members all sat on the chair with the big table in the middle. Let’s Meet Mr Lynn, He is the father and bre-ad winner of the family, He’s the original restaurant owner of “Lynn’s Delicacies”…The Restaurant is known for its best food, Be it Modern or Local. The restaurant is also hvge and contains a lot of customers. Every night, The Restaurant would be so bright allowing Customers to be in comfort. It was always busy both morning and night. Most People would order for delivery and Alexa would be right up at your place.
Mrs Lynn, Yeah… She’s the as-sistant manager of the Restaurant. Without her, The resturant wouldn’t have made it to were it was. Like they said, In Every Successful Man, There’s a woman. When the restaurant was still growing, She would go to the market, And cook the Restaurant Meals. Now, That it has grown… She hires people to do so. She never allows anyone to do deliveries for her except her first daughter, Alexa. Maybe, She does that to keep her busy rather than lagging around with her best friends.
Alexa Lynn, We all know her. She’s a Tomboy, A big Time One! She has never thought herself to be a lady. She really hates when she’s being called a “girly”. Sometimes, She lies about her name saying she’s “ALEX!” and not “ALEXA”. She wears Boys clothing, From shi-ts to t©ps, From p@n-ts to trou-sers, From Boyish Sandals to Shoes, From Caps to Hats. Though, Her family knew of her style. They respected it and never once thought about it again. It quite didn’t bother them anymore like it did before. They were alre-ady used to it.
Alexa also loved food. Any kind of Food was her favorite. She would eat and eat like there no tomorrow and she didn’t actually care. Upon everything, She never added too much weight. Eating was simply her hobby. re-ading and Studying was much of her thing and that was why she failed her exams in 5 different years. She decided to give up alre-ady, Who were you kidding? She was 22 alre-ady. She decided to remain the Tomboy Delivery Girl forever!
Meet Collins Lynn, He’s the quiet and Shy type. Infact, He is so gentle and loving. He’s cute too. He’s 19 and still a last grader in college. He’s very opposite to his elder sister, His Noona (Nonna; This is used to call Elder Girls or Sister and can only be used by Younger Males…On the other hand, Unnie is the opposite; This is used to call Elder Girls or Sister and can only be used by Younger Females). Collins is very smart and good with studies. He’s a book worm. He spends time in his room studying all night which Alexa find exhausting to do and watch.
Collins is also a light eater. He drinks a lot of water too. He hates Noises and Distractions. That’s when he shows his Real other self.
Meet Alicia Lynn, The Last child and youngest daughter. She’s just like Alexa. She’s also a sharp mouthed human and quite disrespectful too. She loves anything green! Cash!. As Little as she is, She can ruin you with her annoying speech. Sometimes, It would be very ha-rd to believe she’s actually 8 years old. Alicia is also wise and smart. She’s average when it comes to Studying. She loves food too but not like Alexa.
“Alexa?” Mr Lynn called silently as he landed a spoonful of food into his mouth.
“Yes Dad?” Alexa answered sweetly. Her Dad was her favorite. She just loved him because he was so caring and loving. They also seemed to be closer than the rest.
“Do you want to try again this year?” He asked almost in a whisper as the others turned to face him curiously
“What?” Alexa returned back the question curiously.
“School….Do you want to write another exam?”
Alexa looked at him without blinking, She swallowed ha-rd speechless.
“No,I don’t want to…. Aissh! Dad, You just made me lose my appetite!” Alexa said as she stood up angrily.
“Wow? Did you just say lost your appetite?” Alicia asked
“Wow? Did you just say “Wow?”….Even Someone hungry who hasn’t eaten for days can lose appetite after hearing or seeing what they shouldn’t have…. Anyways, Mum… Who called in for delivery?” Alexa asked leaving the table.
“Check the counter, Seems someone dropped a message” Mrs Lynn said as Alexa began to walk away.
“That’s my wish, Alexa…Do it for Dad! Who knows, Things might go well?” Mr Lynn said
“Dad! St©p alre-ady, I think you are just being too annoying… That what’s you said every year? It never worked out! Why am i different? Why am i born this way? Why? Why? I don’t even have any talent,I’m not smart either…. I’m scared Dad! What should I do if I fail once more, I would just be a big disgrace… So let’s just st©p this till I find what I want, plea-se!” She yelled as tears poured from her eyes.
“Oppa! Unnie has to do something about her eyes….She cries way too much despite being a Tomboy” Alicia whispered to Collins.
“Just Mind your Business, Little one” Collins whispered back with a stern look.
“She’s owning me money though, I wonder where she even went last night… I’m going to let the money p@rt slid till tomorrow,, If she doesn’t pay up…I’m going to have to report to Mum” Alicia thought as she watched Alexa who took the food delivery box rushing outside.
*************************
Alexa placed the Delivery box at the back seat of the motorcycle and locked the metal cage meant for it. She went to the seat, Sat down and wore her helmet. She started the engine and took off immediately.
Arriving at the hvge house, She st©pped. Alexa checked the address and looked at the house again. “Wow… It’s so hvge” She thought as she gently c@mÂŁ down from her motorcycle. She took off her helmet and took the keys. She also took the delivery box and walked down to the house. It was Upstairs. She went into the elevator which took her straight to the place. It was room 189. She knocked but no one responded. She knocked again and again but it remained silent.
“Is anyone in? You made a delivery?!” She shouted still knocking.
“Am I in the wrong house or something?” She thought as she placed her ears against the door. She heard loud Sounds of Water coming out of The Shower. Seems the person was bathing. Suddenly, The door opened due to her unintentionally push.
“Seriously? Well… Here we go” She whispered as she went in. She closed the door behind her and dropped the box on the table. She opened the box and took out the food. She quic-kly placed the h0t plate of food on the table. “The person should be quic-k! I’m going to be late for other deliveries, The person should have just placed the money on the table!” She whispered to herself as she looked around the whole room. The room was big and beautiful but it was in a mess, It was disorganized and quite dirty.
“Oh my, This person is quite funny! Look at the mess here? Well… I can’t just watch, I should just help and do a little charity work since I’m still waiting” She said to herself as she bent down. She picked all the trash and threw them in the bin. She arranged the whole room and everything in it. She dusted and Cleaned the whole room till it was sparkling clean.
“Uurggh! I’m tired alre-ady, Anyways… That’s more like it” She whispered with a smile.
Suddenly, The door flunged opened and a man who seemed to be in his late thirties c@m£ in. He wore glas-ses with black suit. His shoes were polished black, He held papers which looked like important do¢v-ments.
“Who are you?” He asked suprisedly
“Huh? Didn’t you order sir? I’m the–
“Oh yeah, He must have ordered alre-ady, plea-se have a seat… Well, I’m their Manager, You know?” He introduced with a smile.
“Their Manager?” She asked puzzled
“Yeah… Manager, You know celebrities got to have Managers?” He replied.
Alexa was still confused, but waved it aside. She just wanted her money and his signature.
“By the way….Huh? Before I left, This room was in a big mess, How come it’s–
“I did it sir!” Alexa interrupted smiling like she was some sort of superhero.
“Wow! So Wow! Seems you c@mÂŁ from the heavens!”
“What? What heavens? No… St©p flattering me, Sir” Alexa smiled.
“No, I’m not… Do you perhaps want to work here, As in a job?, I’m going to give you the job in an instant as far as you are a guy!”
“Huh? Guy? If I were a girl, You wouldn’t give me the job?”
“No, It’s not like that, But we are talking about celebrities here, A lot of things will get out of hand and they might be caught up in scandals…you get me right?”
Alexa nodded quite un-derstanding his point. “I see….So to avoid things like that, You have to hire just males?”
“Yeah… Sure” He smiled
“What job is that then?”
“House Keeper?”
“What? Did you just say House keeper? No… Aiish! No, No, No”
“No… plea-se, Don’t get it twisted… The Pay is going to be good! I might even pay you 15 bucks! The Celebrities I manage are quite dirty, You could help in ma-king things okay”
“Wow? Really? 15 bucks? I’m going to think about it then”
“Nice, plea-se do and I hope you answer positively–
He was interrupted by the bathroom door creaking sound.
“Yes… He’s done right?” Alexa asked
The man nodded with a smile. Suddenly, so-called celebrity guy c@mÂŁ out from the bathroom and went directly to the room where they were. He was just wearing a white clean towel around his w@!st.
Immediately, Alexa saw him. She g@sped and turned back. She refused to face him.
“Huh? What’s wrong with him?” His voice asked puzzled by the sudden act of the delivery tomboy.
“Darn it, What’s this? Why is Ethanfu-cking here? I’m doomed! Aiish!” She thought with a nervous and frightened look on her face as she bit herl-ips ha-rd .
