“No, thanks. I have to get to bed. Early class,” she says, sauntering off towards her room, bronze legs clad in blue plaid pyjama bottoms.
If she were in school, wouldn’t there have been signs? Textbooks, for one. She might keep those in her room, but either way, I’m not sure I can just drop this now that my mind has latched onto it.
I push my body forward, going through all the normal motions, and once I’ve eaten and the girls are off to bed, I slip my usual response note under Adhira’s door, adding an apology. I check my phone one last time, setting an alarm before switching off my notifications.

Does this shade of pink make my toes look fat?
Jelani
Yes, luv. Did Noelani tell you it did?
I didn’t realise you had a girlfriend.
Nakoa

Jelani

Jay loves kids, and my sister is obsessed with him. She would replace me with him if she could.
Jelani
Look at those dimples! How could anyone resist her cuteness?
Nakoa
This is why she had to get three cavities filled. Jay keeps sending her candy.
Jelani
Don’t blame me because your four year old sister doesn’t know how to brush her teeth properly!
To be fair, what four year old CAN brush their teeth properly? My little sisters definitely couldn’t at that age lol.
I smile down at the image of the little girl dressed in traditional Hawaiian lu‘au attire with long, wind-swept curls and a gap-toothed smile so bright it might outshine the sun.
Can confirm, she’s adorable.

Your sisters are too freaking cute, mate! Send me your Mum’s address and I’ll get a box of cavity causers shipped right to them!
It’s a wonder how both of your parents managed such ugly mugs out of the two of you. Mine and Letty’s children are sure to be adorable though.
