Things came back to normal. Papa and I had the 'talk' and we cleared the problems. I now have a peace of mind. Although he still didn't get the chance to apologize to Riri because he's a busy person. If he just let his employees do it then he won't be busy.
Papa gave me my phone back and I kinda complained (more like reprimanded) that it was not nice taking other person's stuffs.
I also told papa that I need to cut my hair because it's long now and we should go to a hair parlor... Is that what it's called? No, I think it's not the name... Hair... Hair... No! Barber shop, yeah... We have to go to a barber shop because if I cut my hair myself it won't look good.
Papa said that Norvyn will come with me and he will be my chaperone. I am not against that. Norvyn is cool... just don't play with the food he cooked because he will be pissed. It's coming from a person who received the consequences and I promise you, you don't want to see a pissed Norvyn.
I got to go to school yehey! But no hey with the exams OTZ.
I kid you not, the tests came like a tsunami. It swallowed me whole!
I am happy that I get to see my friends but, what the H, E, double toothpicks! What's up with the tests?! Wait no, what's up with the teachers? Especially Ms. Science, I won't bother with her name because I am mad with her right now.
Didn't she read my excuse letter? I was sick! Sick! S. I. C. K. Sick! Ugh! My head is hurting with all her nonsense.
. . .
Okay Cooper, breathe in... Whooh... Breathe out... Sigh.
Let's forget all of that. Let the negativity washed away. We don't want that early in the morning.
Yeah... Relax...
"Sigh."
This peace is all I wanted.
"BOO!"
"Gah!" I jumped in surprised. Who's the cray cray person who frightened me?!
I looked behind and would you look at that, it's Riri. Of course.
She laughed. "You look funny doing that in a noisy room. I mean, how can you concentrate? And your face when I spooked you, hah!"
I glared at her. She laughed even more. She even hold her stomach from laughing so hard. It's not even that funny. Hmph!
I rolled my eyes and looked away from her. Way to start my meditation.
I don't bother doing it again because I know that she will interrupt me.
Her laughter died when Ari came in. We were in the cafeteria by the way. Ari bought us lunch.
You may not know but Cal is sleeping, yes sleeping, beside me. We have to woke him up and dragged him here so that he won't missed lunch. He's always sleepy. Maybe it is because of his work? Is he still awake late at night for his job and now he lack of sleep? Or maybe it's the combination of his personality and his work? We will never know... Or can we?
"Cal." I gently shook him. "The food is here."
He grumbled, his eyebrows frowned and he opened his eyes. He sat up, stretching his back.
"Here." I took the bought food to him and started eating mine. My mind was replaying a video of me watching something funny and it made me giggled... The three looked at me like I am weird.
I raised my eyebrows. "What?" I asked.
Riri looked at me, feigning concerned. "Are you okay Cooper? Did you hit your head?" She teased.
"No. I just thought of something funny, is all."
"Oh, good 'cos that's hella creepy." Riri shuddered. Ari just smiled and shook his head. Cooper, well, he's still drowsy and he's just playing with he's food.
"Cal don't play with your food. It's bad." I scolded him.
He stopped and looked at me. He then smirked and continued eating.
What does that smirk mean? Is he teasing me in his mind? I feel that he teased me in his mind.
I narrowed my eyes on him.
"Pfft." I stared at Riri. "What?" Why are you laughing again?!
"It's because, pff, it's because you two look like a mother and son with you as the mom scolding his son but you were shorter than him so it doesn't looks like threatening."
Is it the 'day' for her? ...nahhh, it just looks like Riri ate too many sweets and she can't help herself from teasing me.
At least I still have a normal friend. I looked at Ari, he was halfway done eating his food. He noticed that I'm staring at him and he threw a questioning look. I just shook my head and continued eating my food.
The noises slowly died down as the people exited the building. The three of us were finished eating and were only waiting for Riri to finished so that we can go back to our class.
As I go to school for months, I now know why Riri reacted to me about what I said on the first day. I did say that I am excited to go to school but now, er...
Someone harshly tapped on my shoulder.
"Ow!" It's Cal.
"Why did you do that?!" I asked.
"Because I want to." Asdfgh! This guy!
I glared at him. If my stare could kill, he'll be dead in no time.
Cal just looked at me. "Does it hurt?" he questioned.
"Yes, it hurts." I answered, gritting my teeth .
He sneered. "Now you know how I feel about you tapping any parts of my body."
He stood up and took his bag. "Come on we're gonna be late in class. Kristine dragged Adrian out. If I didn't tapped you, you will be late for class."
"You didn't have to be harsh on it." I pouted and look at him. Feel guilty you annoying guy! Feel guilty about what you have done. MWAHAHAHA!
"Ew, put away your duck face. I don't want to kiss you."
Oh my gosh. This guy had the audacity to call my handsome face a duck face?!
I glared at him. "As if I want to kiss you too. You butt face!" I shouted.
I swiftly took my bag and left.
Don't worry Cooper. He will pay big time. One day. One day.
