A fated redemption

" Winks, Wiinky, Twinkle-Star Salvador, get down here else we're not gonna make it to your interview"

Pinky called her sister, they were meant to be on their way to an interview for Twinkle's enrollment into an advanced programming school that morning but the girl in quote was unnecessarily stalling.

" I told you already pinky, I went through their curriculum, and the areas they hope to teach are areas that I am already vested in, I don't want to waste time going over things I already know when I can be learning new things instead."

Twinkle replied as she walked down the stairs. For someone who had an interview that morning, she seemed almost unconcerned.

" It would be better than you whiling away time all alone and bored at home, I already feel terrible that I can't spend enough time with you so please don't add to my guilt Twinkle."

" And whoever said I was bored at home?"

" All you do is type away on your computer all day every day, how fun is that ?"

" Alright, alright, I'll enroll at the damn school although typing away on my computer is amazing."

" Ugh... finally."

Pinky sighed she was going to say something else when they heard a knock at the door.

" That should be your boyfriend Andrew."

Twinkle commented in the most unamused voice she could muster.

" What's your issue with Drew, you're always so unexcited to see him."

" I don't trust him that much."

" It's because you're just meeting him for the first time, when you know him you'll get to like him more."

" That's what you said last week pinky, it's been two weeks now and I still haven't settled around him."

" Well, that's cause I want you to be okay with him, you know he's the man I plan on settling down with."

" Don't push your luck too far with me Pinky, just be grateful I pretend to like him when his around."

She answered as she walked into the kitchen to get herself a glass of milk. She was feeding a slice of bread into the toaster when she heard her sister giggling at something Andrew said.

" Andrew, what a pleasant surprise."

Twinkle greeted with such enthusiasm that one would feel she adored him as much as her sister Pinky did. Her mother had always insisted she would go far if she joined the entertainment industry and it wasn't a wonder as she understood why.

" Winks, how did you sleep?"

The tall blonde man before her asked with a hint of a smile bon his face.

" Very well thank you and you?"

" Perfect.... Pinky said you were going to enroll in the advanced programming school."

" You don't say."

She replied as she glanced at her sister, it seemed the girl could not keep her mouth to herself whenever she was around him.

" Yeah, I told him and he offered to drive us there and support you."

" That's so nice of you Andrew, you shouldn't have."

" Ohhh it's nothing, as long as you're someone that Pinky loves I'll make it my duty to care for you."

" Wow Andrew, you must love my sister dearly isn't it?"

" You can't even imagine."

He replied as he dropped his face to kiss the starstruck lady in his arms, causing Twinkle to make a puking face at the both of them.

" I think the both of you should take it somewhere private, get a room some people here are trying to eat."

She said while shaking her head, in as much as she didn't trust the man she was happy that Pinky had found someone that she felt happy around, someone who treated her just like their dad treated their mom, someone who treated her like a queen like a queen and for that very reason, She was ready to pretend to like him for as long as her elder sister was happy.

The drive back from the programming school was a quiet one, with the other two people in the front seat in their world and Twinkle silently resting her eye behind. She was grateful they were quite as she wasn't in the mood to answer questions. Just as Twinkle had thought, the programming school was not as advanced as Pinky had believed it to be and She ended up too qualified to be in the class. The proprietor had even ended up offering her a job there but she declined nicely as She had told herself that she was only ever going to accept remote jobs to avoid going out much. Her quiet and comfortable ride was short-lived by her noisy sister who couldn't bear to keep her curiosity to herself anymore.

" How did you get so flawless at all those codes twinkle?"

" While at school?"

She replied and Pinky glanced back at her with a face that said 'You're not being clear enough '.

" I gained admission into a university that teaches only mathematics and computer science."

" And?"

" And it's a given I'll be skilled at programming."

" Twinkle I'm aware of that part of the story, don't you think you should be telling me about the part where you become a you prodigy?"

" I'm not yet worthy to be called a prodigy, I still have a lot of learning to do."

" Fine, just explain how you became so famous, I mean immediately after the man knew your name he was willing to offer you a job."

" I have an outstanding name duhh."

"Twinkle?!?"

" Fine, fine, so let's just say the school I got admitted into admits only the best ten students in the continent for each session?"

" Shit!!!"

Andrew blurted with surprise lacing his voice. Turns out he was quietly listening on their conversation.

" And you were picked?"

He asked with heavy disbelief all the while watching her through the car's side mirror.

" Why else would I be in the school if I wasn't picked?"

She replied, like being among the ten best students in a freaking continent wasn't much of a big deal. The whole time she was answering Andrew, her sisters mouth was hanging open and she had even turned fully to the back seat so she could stare at Twinkle comfortably.

" What position were you?"

Pinky asked and Andrew looked at her like she had two heads

" She made it to the first ten in the continent and you're still asking her for her position? I mean what do you want to hear?"

" That she emerged first."

Pinky replied seriously and Andrew let out a throaty laugh.

" What's so funny?"

Twinkle asked him not liking the way he was laughing at her sister's words. In her opinion, her sister was asking a very valid question.

" Your sister, she's impossible."

" Why do you say so? She asked a very valid question and even if it wasn't valid, it doesn't matter because everyone is free to ask questions as long as it doesn't harm anyone."

" Well if that's the case then tell us your position."

"I was the second best during my admission into the school but I graduated as the best, you know we're usually always the best at what we do in my family and I despised coming second best at the initial level."

She replied seriously, earning a chuckle from Pinky and a little ' that's my girl ' cheer at the end.

" I noticed though."

" What did you notice?"

" I noticed how great you sister at acting, I mean she won two awards in just one year of being in the industry, your mother was an A-list supermodel before she retired and your dad was One of the Best hackers in the military has ever seen. You aren't wrong, your family is a family of geniuses."

Andrew replied with amazement in his voice.

" It's the more reason why you need to hold on tight to my sister, we have strong genes and it would be a shame to lose such don't you agree Andrew?"

" Twinkle??"

Pinky whisper screamed before moving her focus back on the road, a light blush painting her cheek."

" She's right though... But thankfully, I'm never giving up on your sister, it's going to be pinky today, pinky tomorrow, and pinky forever."

Andrew replied as he stared at her with longing in his eyes.

" Pinky swear?"

Twinkle asked breaking the moment as she noticed that her drama queen sister was about to throw in the emotional flare.

" Pinky swear."

Marcelo replied earning another of those heart-squeezing emotional looks from Pinky. Twinkle looked out the window as She sighed, they were still kilometers away from their home and she couldn't wait to get there so that she could finally get out of the car because it seemed that the two people in there were planning on making her blind with all their silly romance. They continue on their journey with Pinky filling in the space with stories about the set she was currently working on, it was mostly gossip about how messed up some of their acting skills were and Twinkle couldn't be any happier because she lived for Hollywood gossip. The humorous air was broken when a call came in and Pinky excused herself before answering. The call was from her manager, she had insisted that she hurried over as their CEO had graced them with a surprise visit that morning and was not showing any signs of leaving. Pinkie told Andrew to drop them off directly at the set and thankfully, she suggested that Twinkle would stay on set with her for the day, despite how much Andrew told her to relax and let him help her out by dropping Twinkle at home. It seemed Pinky understood that her younger sister would kill the man before he even got the chance to propose to her. At the end of the day, she was just looking out for him.
