My Bestfriend's Sister

NIKKI "Please please, Nikki. Please help me. I need you to be-friend Faye, and then ask her if she likes me too. I really need to know, so I would know my next move." I stopped reading and looked at my little brother blankly. Is he serious? Does he really want me to be-friend his nerdy best friend? Is this the end of the world? "Excuse me baby brother? Let me just get this straight. You want me to talk to your best friend and ask her if she likes you too?” Is he out of his mind? That’s freaking absurd. Why would I do that? He smiled and nodded. Again, I gave him a disgusting look. “No way! Never!” I answered. Hello? I am Nicole Fernandez, the queen bee. Does he really think that it’ll be okay if I would be seen talking to a nobody? What would my friends say? And my fans? What about the social ladder?   I didn’t know how to react when he kneeled down and gave me a puppy eyes. "Please Nikki, please do it for me. You love your baby brother right? You said that you would do anything for me.” Oh wow. So he’ll seriously use the ‘you love me’ phrase, so I would do what he wanted me to do?   I’m trying not to look at him because he knows that that I couldn’t resist that puppy look. Maybe he’ll stop this stupidity if he sees that I am not interested in helping him. I love him, yes. But I can’t risk my social status in our school. I looked at him, and he’s still kneeling and looking at me like a cute little puppy. “Oh for f**k’s sake. Will you stand up, Miguel!” there! I gave up and helped him stand. "Miguel Fernandez, are you really that desperate that you will lower your pride and kneel down, just for me to help you with your nerdy best friend? Do you love her that much?” I asked again while shaking my head. He gave a serious look while standing up. "Yes Nikki! I love her so much.  And I’m not sure if it’s okay to tell her how I feel because I don’t want to ruin our friendship because of this stupid feelings! And if friendship is the only thing that she can offer for now, I’m okay with that. What’s important is that I am always with her and she makes me happy.” he said and walked out of the room. Oh wow. I never thought that my little brother is deeply in love with that girl. I thought it’s just an infatuation or something like that. I sighed. I know that this will be hard and I’m not sure if I can make it, but for my baby brother, I will try to do what he wants me to do. I just hope that no one will notice how stupid will I look when I talk to that nerd. So if I were you, Nikki Fernandez, I’d try to be nice tomorrow. UGH! Goodluck to me!
