Lucian the Healer

Chapter 3

"Guess what happened today" I said.

"What?" Dad asked.

"I sprained my ankle and Lucian fixed it."

"What! Is he a doctor?".

"No dad, he just put his hand on my ankle and the pain disappeared."

"Wow -- that's kinda strange".

"No dad-- It's a miracle?".

"A really big miracle?" Dad replied.

"Your boyfriend really loves you eh" Mike said coming downstairs.

"He's not my boyfriend." I said blushing.

"Liar! you guys are an item?" he said--

Mike is my older brother, a fresher in the university studying architecture.

"See what your son is saying" I said to Dad.

"He's your brother, Lily?" Dad said.

"Yeah sis and I love you" Mike said.

I scoffed standing up.

"I'd rather love the kitchen and food".

"Gotta accept that as a 'I love you too'," he said.

I hissed hopping into the kitchen. I want food

Lucian's POV

Kelvin slapped the water with a paddle, he laughed as the drops splattered into my face.

"Stop!" I hissed.

"You need to calm down," he said.

We were sitting at the river bank, a little far from home.

"How about you and Lily?" he asked.

"What about us?"

"She's sweet,"

I rolled my eyes. "So?"

"I'm just saying."

"How about Lara?" I asked him.

"Oh her! She's a past history."

"What happened?"

"She ended it and I was kinda happy," he replied.

"Oh!" I mouthed.

"But there's a girl in my school, she's hot."

"Hot?" I asked, staring at him.

"Yeah," he said.

"Like, she looks good," he said.

"Good for you," I said.

"It's getting dark," I said, standing to my feet.

"Yeah - let's go."

We walked home, slowly, each lost in our own different thoughts.
