I think... my brain will explode. OTZ.
There are so many things to do! I need to finish my three assignments in Science, one essay in English that needs to have a five hundred words minimum and one in P.E., Mr. Abel wants us to search some terms in Basketball. Fortunately, Ari is here to help me and he explained some things I didn't understand. I helped him too, although it's not much.
We four; me, Ari, Riri and Cal, had a group study in my house... again this week, everyday so we can be prepared and have an answer when the exam is here. We will start it tomorrow because we are busy today.
I am still worried about Riri and the contents of their chats to have her frown... I never seen her like that. I know I said (thought) that I will wait for her to tell me about it but... curiosity plus worry equals I NEED TO KNOW NOW. Sigh, I really need to tone down my curiosity.
"Oh what's this?" I asked our gardener, Alfred. He is in his fifties but he is still really strong.
I am at the garden looking at these pompom-like, dark red flowers. it is just newly planted by Alfred.
I touched one of its petal, it's soft and smooth.
"Young master, this flowers are called Chrysanthemum. It is a symbol of loyalty and devoted love." explained Alfred.
"Ohh, I didn't know that there is a meaning about flowers. What is it called? Laaa, no, hmmm, I know there is a flower in there..."
"Do you mean Language of Flowers, young master?" Alfred said.
"Hmm, maybe?"
I stared right at the...what again? Chry... Chrymum? Let's just call it Mum-mum!
"From now on, you will be called Mum-mum! Welcome Mum-mum to your new home!" I exclaimed. "Oh, you should say hi to Rosé, wink wonk." Alfred smiled and shake his head, continuing planting the rest of the flowers.
I heard laughter behind me. "I didn't know you will set the two flowers up, you silly boy."
I turned my head. Gasp!
"Papa!" Papa, he's here! I walked towards his direction then stop right in front of him.
He spread out his arms, inviting me to hug him...and so I did.
"I miss you sooo much papa. Why are you always not home? It's like your home is your office and not here."
"Aww don't be like that my boy. Everywhere is my home when you are there. It's just that, I became so busy that I can't go home." Papa said.
"You are always busy." I complained.
We separated and then messed up my hair, which is like more messy because I don't have the time to comb it.
"Papa no! My hair is messy enough, I don't want it to be more messy." I swatted his hands and tried to fix my hair into not so much messy.
"How's school? Is there anyone who tried to hurt you?" His eyes narrowed and his voice turned called at that question.
"No one! Papa, there is no one so please don't worry and uhm, oh! I got a new friend his name is Calvin, you know Calvin right? He's a quiet guy but he is good at anything, although I only saw two or more of his talents but he's good. We had a project at Math where we have to made a music video about it being fun, Ari made our song with the help of mine and Riri's poem, Ari is Adrian's nickname then we shoot the video here then we act and Cal is our director, see? He can do anything! Then, then we won!" I excitingly said. It's so fun telling what happened to me this week.
I looked at papa who is smiling at me, "I don't understand the half of what you are saying. What I do know is that you are happy."
"I am papa... Thanks for agreeing to my wish." He chuckled. " I just thought that, your are old enough to fly and how could I resist you in your birthday" Papa cooed, pinching both of my cheeks then he released me after I complained that it hurts.
He said that he couldn't resist me but that's my wish three years ago. Hmph! Liar.
"Before resuming your story-telling, let's head inside first. I am tired of standing and we should have Norvyn bring us food what about that?"
Papa is right, he needs to sit because I still have to tell him some stories that I didn't get to say...and I'm hungry too so I nodded.
We went back to the house and Norvyn made a dark chocolate cake and a freshly squeezed lemonade with double the sugar, requested by me. The cake is delicious and papa like the lemonade, it's his favorite.
I told papa, well, complained about my assignment in Science and his reaction is not so good...Sigh, I shouldn't have said that.
"Who is your teacher in Science? I need to speak to her! Giving an assignment is good but three? I need to cancel my appointment tomorrow. Cooper, what time is that subject?" He took his phone out of his pocket and looked at me.
Papa... sigh, it's fun chatting with him but he can be so overprotective even though he doesn't have to. Lesson learned, Think first then filter anything that will make papa worried.
It's okay papa, Three assignments is not a big deal. Besides, Ari is there to help me if there is anything if I am stuck with something." Psh, lies. Who said it's not a big deal?~ Of course it is a big deal! A very big deal! But I don't want papa just dash in there like a bull.
"Cooper don't lie to me, tell me the truth." he said in a stern voice.
Ugh! Why face?! Why do you have to be so honest?!
I can say half the truth and half a lie, that work before.
Before I can proceed, papa stop me, "Don't you ever said a single lie." I gulped. He is really serious.
"It's kind of... a big deal. I need to finish it today because the deadline is tomorrow and I still have an assignment in English and P.E. then there's an exam next week."
"That's it." he called a number then he said, "Cancel my appointment tomorrow, I need to visit my son's school. I can't? I am the CEO, why can't I?! ..., Okay, I get it. Sigh." the call ended and I think it didn't end well.
"It looks like I can't go in your school, there is an investment with the King's and they are a very important investor so I am the one who needs to be there." Yes! Papa will not come, no disturbance, no ruckus, no anything to my school life.
"I know what you are thinking, Norvyn will go to your school in my stead." Oh meeennn.
"Let's forget about that and let's have a bonding, we don't know when will have a time where I am not busy. Now my boy, what do you want to do?"
"Hmmm, movie marathon?"
And then we have a movie marathon. Hmmm, I think I'm forgetting something...Oh well!
