"Do you like it?" Anthony asked, his gaze glued on his sister's widened eyes.
Joanna stared at the knee-length short sleeve glimmering white dress spread on the table with a pair of white pearl earrings laid beside it.
"Wow… Little rice ball, I never knew that you were such a natural stylist," Joanna said, shifting her gaze to look at the boy at her side.
"Maybe Big Sister should make you her stylist starting from today or what do you think?" Joanna asked playfully.
"Hmmm… I agree," Tony's response made Joanna chuckle.
"And I forgot something," Anthony said as he turned and ran to the shoe racks where all Joanna's shoes were neatly arranged.
He ran back to the bed with a pair of black shiny leather high heels in his hands.
"What do you think about wearing the shoes with the dress?" Anthony asked as he bit down his lower lips.
"Hmmm…," Joanna trailed, frowning. His expression fell on seeing her frown. He couldn't believe he failed.
"They are just a perfect match for the dress," Joanna gave him a thumbs up.
His face lights up in a flash.
[I am so sure he is gonna love the set of outfits you picked for me little rice ball]
Picturing herself in the beautiful dress made Joanna's lips curl into a charming smile.
"Big Sister, I will leave you to dress up now," Anthony smiled. Seeing the beautiful smile on Joanna's face made him so proud and happy.
"Ok, don't worry. I will reward you with a bacon dish treat after I return," Joanna said beaming.
"Yay!" Anthony threw his hands in the air and jumped in excitement.
To Anthony, no other dish can replace a treat of bacon dish. Bacon's dish will always remain his favourite delicacy.
And his likeness to bacon was the reason Joanna called her blackbird Bacon to always remind her about her brother.
"My little brother is full of cuteness. I can't believe he was able to cheer me up with such a trivia thing…. I guess this is why people always say that it's the most trivia thing that brings real happiness," Joanna mumbled, her gaze on the brown door the excited Anthony forgot to shut after dashing out of the room.
The moment Anthony left Joanna hurried to the dressing table kept some distance away from the bed.
Hastily, she blew her hair dry with the pink hairdryer. Still, at the same speed, she brushed her hair and applied lotion to her body.
Despite she was running late for classes Joanna for some reason spared some time to apply light make-up on her face.
A few minutes later a beautiful young lady was seen standing at the entrance of Twilight University.
Her gorgeousness was so great that passers-by couldn't resist turning their necks to get a glimpse of the dazzling young lady.
"I can't wait to see his surprise face when he set eyes on me," Joanna muttered smiling as she looked far ahead of the walkway where students of different backgrounds were trouping into.
Standing outside the campus gate Joanna kept looking out for Amos among the many faces entering and exiting the huge gate.
She started pacing about when he didn't show up at the estimated time.
"I thought he said he was almost at the gate so where is he?... I just have four minutes remaining until the lecture starts," Joanna mumbled stretching to get a better view of those approaching from far.
Joanna was about to give up waiting when she saw him from afar.
"He is coming," Joanna's face lit up as she looked around her. Seeing the white pillar at her right-hand side which was a suitable spot for hiding Joanna hurried and stood there.
Hiding there, for some reason Joanna's heart started pounding hard against her chest.
While fiddling with her nails she bites down on her lower lips.
After a minute Joanna peeped outside expecting to see Amos close to the gate but only for her to see someone she never wanted to set eyes on.
"Why is it her again?" Joanna walked out from where she was hiding with her fists clasped.
Seeing the guy in the grey sweater laugh along with the lady wearing a tight-fitted mini-red gown made Joanna dig her long nails into her fingers.
"I can see the reason he didn't arrive at the estimated time," Joanna mumbled.
In anger, she turned and stomped away.
She didn't take up to three steps when someone jumped out of nowhere and stood in front of her.
If not that she stopped in her track on time she would have collided with the person.
[Gosh, not them right now]
Joanna closed her eyes when she got a wimp of the perfume from the lady standing in front of her.
Her eyes fluttered open almost instantly. Not wanting to get into an argument with the lady in front of her, she avoided her and walked to the right but only for another person to stand in her way.
Joanna grit her teeth as she raised her head.
"Will you leave my path before I do something…,"
"Do you own a path?" Tiffany asked as she stared into Joanna's eyeballs.
"She can't even afford decent clothes and has to rely on others for a living so how could someone like her own something of importance?" Doris replied mockingly.
Joanna, who was in a haste to leave so that Amos wouldn't see her, tilted her head sideways to see whether he noticed her.
Sophie standing beside Tiffany on the right happened to see Joanna acting so suspicious.
Curious to know why she was acting this way instead of talking back at them, she let her eyes scrutinize the faces of those entering campus.
"You girls should be thankful that I am busy because it wouldn't have ended with a few exchanges of words today," Joanna bumped into them, creating a path for herself.
Sophie's lips curled into a sly smile when she saw Amos and the tall slender lady in red dressing talking and laughing with him.
She almost knocked Tiffany wearing high heels off her feet.
"Is it that you are busy or that you are too ashamed to face a certain person?" Sophie's words made Joanna stop in her tracks.
Because of how loudly Sophie talked, her voice attracted the attention of everyone close by.
Looking like a fool in front of the two of them was what she was trying to avoid, she couldn't believe that the girls even stole the right to preserve her dignity.
