“Um, ok, but please take these. That way if you want something later, it’s there you know,” I suggested.
She nodded.
“Thanks Calix,” she said.
“It’s from Alex and Felix too,” I admitted begrudgingly, trying to be fair.
“Who’s Alex and Fe…oh wait. I met Felix earlier. He’s the grumpy version of you. I think I saw Alex. He’s the quiet one,” she said.
“Um, sorta, yeah,” I said.
“Which one am I?” I asked quickly before she shut the door.
She smiled slightly.
“You’re my one,” she said and then she closed the door in my face without a goodbye but I didn’t care.
I could not stop smiling. I would probably smile forever. I practically inhaled my food. There was a double knock on my door. Probably Mom.
“Calix, honey, I brought you up something,” she cooed.
I stashed the two half-eaten plates of food under my bed and collected a third plate.
“Thanks,” I said.
Mom handed me a bottle of water.
“Where’s Chasity’s?” I asked.
“Right here,” she said, showing me a plate.
Hers had way more vegetables and much less meat and potatoes. She had the same bottle of water.
“Why is hers different?” I asked.
“Hers is healthier,” said Mom. “Less calories. Girls have to keep slim and trim. In case her parents don’t come back for her, we’ll need to find her a wolf to marry her off to when she’s of age,” said Mom with an airy laugh.
I didn’t understand any of that but I suddenly felt extremely angry at the thought of them finding Chasity a husband even if it was years away.
“Chasity is so good looking she can afford to gain weight. She’ll look good either way!” I said.
I didn’t only learn stuff from Alex. Sometimes, I unexpectedly learnt stuff from Felix too! Mom was not amused. I had never seen her look so angry. She could not even speak and her face and neck turned bright red. It was a good thing I had left out the junk in the trunk part. Mom rapped loudly on Chasity’s door a couple times, placed the tray on the floor and left before Chasity opened the door. Chasity saw the food and water.
“More?” She mouthed at me, noticing me peeping from my door.
I grinned at her, not bothering to tell her this last one was from Mom. I was still mad at Mom. She was being so…not motherly all of a sudden. I wondered if she would continue being mean to me if I continued being nice to Chasity.
The next morning Chasity refused to come out of her room for school.
“Ungrateful child,” muttered Mom as she banged on Chasity’s door. “If you don’t come out, you’ll have to walk to school!”
“In the snow?” Asked Alex, appearing behind Mom.
“Isn’t she sick?” Asked Felix, confused.
“Sick?” Said Mom.
“Yeah, she’s not feeling too well,” I said.
She cried a lot last night. She wouldn’t stop no matter what I said or did. I even fell asleep by her door for a bit with our pinkies linked. She wouldn’t let me in her room. I kinda wanted to sleep in there even though the cot was small. That way I would be close enough to sniff her hair.
“And you were busy prowling around her door last night?” Said Mom, horrified.
She put her hand against my forehead to feel my temperature.
“I’m fine, Mom,” I insisted.
“He already had it,” said Felix.
“Had what? A fever?” Said Mom.
“Chickenpox,” said Alex.
“Chase brought her here with chickenpox, knowing my three boys are here,” growled Mom,
“Did you give her the calamine lotion and mittens?” Asked Alex, shrugging into his huge backpack.
He carried every single textbook every single day whether he had that particular class scheduled for today or not. Felix had his floppy, half-empty school bag over his shoulder. Mine was somewhere in bet**en.
“Yeah, she’s all set,” I lied.
I had a problem.
“Well, good, no need for any of you to be anywhere near her until she’s no longer contagious,” said Mom. “I don’t recall seeing any spots yesterday but I’ll take my baby’s word for it,” said Mom, ruffling my hair.
She was somewhat back to her old doting self.
“Well, Chasity seems like you’ve got yourself the week off school!” Yelled Mom.
Chasity was silent. I was worried.
“When you vacate that room, you’re to use the downstairs bathroom,” called Mom.
I frowned.
“School time,” cooed Mom.
“Aren’t you gonna leave breakfast for Chasity?” I asked.
“She didn’t eat any of the dinner I gave her,” said Mom indignantly. “She left it outside the door earlier almost completely full!”
That was because she left the two plates I gave her earlier half-full so she was stuffed. I had carried those two down to the sink and left the only one Mom knew about.
“What if she’s a breakfast person and not a dinner person?” I asked.
“For the umpteenth time, I don’t want any of you three fraternising with Chasity,” chastised Mom.
I hid Mom’s car keys and when she went to search for them, we ran downstairs and Alex began filling a plate with breakfast stuff for Chasity. The current chef was amazing. I wanted her to try everything.
“Put both pancakes and waffles,” I said excitedly.
“Put the two kinds of syrup, regular and exp**sso,” said Felix.
“Put…” I began.
“I’m putting everything guys,” said Alex quickly.
He handed me the finished plate. I took it upstairs and wrote on the napkin.
Good morning Chasity!
Bon appetit!
From grumpy Felix, quiet Alex and yours, Calix!
Calix
Chasity wiggled her way out of my arms. Her skin was sl*ppery in the water so she managed to escape me for just a moment. She had seemingly forgotten we were still at the deep end. She went under the water’s surface instantly. I grabbed her and pulled her back up. She was spluttering and coughing up water. No sooner had I plucked her from the watery deep than she tried to wriggle away again.
“Take me back to the pool’s edge please now! I want to get out!” Shrieked Chasity.
I could feel her going into panic mode. I was not sure how to salvage this moment. Everything had been going so well up until this point, up until the very moment I had revealed the secret Alex had explicitly told me not to reveal while we were on vacation. I had done just the opposite and now Chasity didn’t even want me touching her.
“Take me back!” She shrieked, snapping me out of my rumination. “Calix!” She yelled.
I tightened my grip on her. I was scared to let go of her now. If I did not reassure her right away, she might withdraw from us emotionally for the rest of the trip.
“I just want to talk to you, ok. Let’s talk about this!” I pleaded, trying to calm her down.
“Let me go!!!” She screamed.
Suddenly, a memory hit me out of nowhere.
I reached the ice fishing hole just in time to see Felix dunk her into the freezing cold water. She was kicking and screaming as he held her under the water. Alex had been on board at first but now he looked like he wanted to put a stop to this. He demanded that Felix hand her over. When they pulled her out, she was motionless. I felt like throwing myself into the ice fishing hole. Why was I such a coward?
