Chapter 1: Two New Housemates

TIMMY

"So someone's gonna move in with us?" Brandon asked. "That's why you renovated the house for two more rooms?"

I'm Timmy Andrews, a soon-to-be second year college student. Because our parents are business partners, they put us in a mansion after we graduated from High School.

I live here with nine other people: four girls and five boys. They are Bloom Willows, Stella Gomez, Layla Danforth, Musa Pierre, Sky Jones, Brandon Gil, Riven Erickson, Helia Steve and Nabu Khan.

Four months ago, our parents renovated the house without telling us why. We are still enjoying our vacation and we have a month left before school starts.

We are at the living room with my parents at the moment. They said they'll explain why they renovated the house.

"Yes, Brandon. Timmy's cousin from London will joining you with her friend," Dad answered. "They'll be here the day after tomorrow."

My cousin?!

Silence took over us. It must be because I never mentioned I have cousins. Only Riven knew.

"Timmy's cousin? You mean?" Riven asked. "But she's in Canada! They moved there a year before we move here."

Riven and my cousin share a brother-sister bond. That's probably why he's excited. The last time we both saw her was vacation before we entered Middle School. The three of us went back to London back then.

"You know her, Riven?" Musa asked, with a little jealousy.

"Yep! She's like my sister," her boyfriend smiled. "I always protect her and Timmy from bullies when we were kids. There's nothing for you to be jealous of. She and her sister treats me as their older brother."

From her reaction, I believe what he said relieved Musa.

"Yes, Riven," Mom answered but sighed. "Actually, you and Timmy are the reasons why she wants to come here."

"Wha"- Sky was cut off by someone's phone.

We all looked at Helia who apologized and excused himself to take the call.

"What do you mean, Mrs. Andrews?"

"Riven, Timmy, Flora's suffering from amnesia," Dad said.

"What?!"

"We're sorry for hiding this from you but during the semestral break, she and Rhodos, her dad, got into an accident," Mom explained. "Her father's still in coma in a hospital back at Canada with his sisters looking after him. However, Flora woke up with no memories of her Middle School, High School and first semester in her first year in college. Her latest memories was when you three spend your vacation before entering middle school back in London."

"We consulted her aunt, and we came up with the idea to send her and her sister back to UK to your grandparents. Miele, her younger, sister is attending a girls-only boarding university. Flora attended the second semester there but she didn't like it. She only made one friend," Dad added. "When we asked her what she wants, she told us she wants to be with familiar faces that's why we told her to survive the semester while we prepare here."

"How's Uncle?" I asked. "And how did Miele take this?"

"He's still in coma. About Miele... she wanted to stay at Canada but she gave in after many attempts of convincing. But whenever she wants to visit Flora or their father, one of our private planes is always ready for her," Mom explained.

"If you don't mind me asking... where is their mother?" Layla asked which made Riven, Mom, Dad and I flinched a little.

"Aunt Alyssa passed away when Miele was two," Riven answered.

"I'm sorry," Layla apologized.

"It's okay, Dear. So, can we count for you guys to look out for her?" Dad asked. "Based on her friend, she usually have headaches when a memory hit her."

I looked at everyone and they agreed.

"Their things will be delivered tomorrow morning. The boxes with flower stickers belongs to Flora so please take them to the room with nature green walls. The boxes without flower stickers belongs to her friend, please take them to the room with lavender walls. I was told that their things are fragile so extra careful on them," Mom instructed. "Don't worry, they'll unpack themselves. And be sure to have someone to fetch them in the airport. Their flight from London will land at 2 pm the day after tomorrow."

"Anything else we should know?" Bloom asked as Helia entered the room.

"She's a vegetarian," Dad responded. "Hey Helia, asked them for the instructions. We'll be going now."

"Wait!" I exclaimed making my parents stop. "You never told us about her friend."

Did mom just... smirk at me?

"You'll meet her the day after tomorrow, son," Mom said. "Bye kids!"

They all bid good bye.

"Okay people! I suggest we throw them a simple welcoming get together!" Stella said. "Four of us could fetch them at the airport while the remaining six prepare the house. What'd ya think?"

"Nice idea," Helia said. "Well since it's Timmy's cousin he should be one of those four."

"I'll go with him. And you and Musa's coming with us, Helia," Riven said.

"OKAY!"

After that, we went to our personal businesses. For me, I went to my room and review about machinery.

RIVEN

They all left except for Musa and I. We were still at the living room.

"Riven, you okay?" my girl friend asked me. "You have been frowning since earlier."

I sighed. She can literally read me like a book. I guess I should tell her the truth.

"I'm sorry, Babe. It's just that I feel so... useless," I admitted.

"If it's because you weren't there when your sisters need someone, it's not your fault for not knowing," she made me looked at her. "I know you are feeling worthless because of that but it already happened. You can't dwell on it. Why don't you protect her when she's here? You'll be redeeming yourself as her older brother. And lastly, Babe, I never met her before but I can tell she's a nice person. She won't hate you."

I smiled at her. She's right.

"Thanks for cheering me up, Babe," I pulled her to my lap and gave her a smack. "I love you. I'm so lucky to have you."

She just smiled and returned the kiss. After that she laid her head into my lap and I am caressing her royal blue locks.

"Riven, what about her friend?" she asked.

"Her friend?"

"I mean I know I have nothing to be jealous about you and Flora but what about her friend?" I smirked at her.

"I only have eyes for you, Babe. Besides," she raised an eyebrow. "I have a pretty good guess about her. If my guess is right, I can assure you she's not into me."

"What do you mean? How can you guess? I'm pretty sure they didn't tell us anything about her," Musa asked.

"Aside from saying my sisters attended a girls-only university, Aunt Adriana smirked at Timmy, remember?"

"Yeah... but so what?"

"It means she is sure that Timmy will be shocked when he finally meets her," I smirked. "And there is only one woman who can make Timmy react like that."

"You don't mean?"

"Yeah. If my guess is right, Flora's friend is none other than Timmy's childhood sweetheart... Tecna Lottie."

"Do you really think she's the reason behind Timmy not wanting to be in a relationship?"

"Yeah. Flora and I was there when they promised each other," I smiled at her. "But don't tell him that."
