61 Star Gazing without the Stars

“You!” Nora and I screamed back as Dan’s face appeared when we opened the door to the lounge. “You cheating rascal!” He directed his gaze to Nora.

Nora quickly hid behind me and stuck her tongue out at Dan. He looked irritated and was about to say something more when Ace blocked his path.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Ace dropped the shopping bags on the floor and cracked his knuckles. “Are you bullying my sister?” He demanded.

“Of course not.” Dan said in a deadpanned tone as he heard Eltur and Darem laughing behind his back. Dan jerked a thumb towards them. “It was your older brothers who were bullying her. I heard they were teaching her things that kids shouldn’t know. I won’t tell you what it is. You should ask them yourself.” Dan smirked when he saw horrified looks on Darem and Eltur’s face at the moment.
