Point of view: Alexis Rockefeller
"Atom is the basic unit of a chemical element. An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines achemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons. Each electron is negatively charged. The nucleus is positively charged, and contains one or more relatively heavy particles known as protons and neutrons." I thrown my book on my bed. I am reading my book but I can't understand.
"Alexis!! Are you there?" Nanny Chloe knocked on my door.
"Come in" I said in lazy tone.
"I brought foods for you. I cooked you cereals." Nanny said and put the tray on my table.
"Thank you!! I said and smiled at her.
"Oow are you reading book? That's nice!!" Nanny Chloe said while turning the pages of my book.
"We have oral recitation tomorrow. That's why I am reading but I don't understand what I'm reading. Aaaaaaarghh!! I hate reading!" I shouted.
"But you already read. Means you are willing to learn." Nanny Chloe said while smiling.
"But I feel irritated when I'd read." I said.
"Just do it and if you try to understand you will understand." Nanny Chloe said in serious way.
"Okay thanks nanny!" I just said.
"Okay you're always welcome. I'm gonna do the laundry." Nanny said then she closed the door. She is like Roggen, they are always tell me what to do. Actually Roggen is the reason why I'm reading today.
FLASHBACK
"Tomorrow we will have an oral recitation. Review your books and notes." Ms. Agazer said and before she left the room he looked at me. Just like she is wanting me to do review.
I don't care! Ms. Agazer is always do recitation but I'm always failing to pass that.
I'm going to canteen and I shocked because there's a man who touched my shoulder.
"Roggen!?" I asked and I'm shocked at him. He is tall, has white and clear skin. His hair is not messy. Each hair fiber is organized. I hadn't noticed him before.
"Do you amazed at my good looks?" Roggen asked me while smiling.
"Yuck!! Why are you touching my shoulder? Why are you here?" I asked him and we are walking in the field. There are so many students. They are looking at us in teasing way.
"You should prepare for oral recitation tomorrow." He said seriously.
"Do you think I'll follow you? Even my parents I don't obey, so who are you to follow?" I said in rude way.
"I'm not your parents but I'm the man that will soften the heart of lion." Roggen said and smiling like a crazy.
"What are you trying to say?" I asked.
"Nevermind, I wanna eat lunch with you and your cute best friend." He said then laughed.
"You two are too flirt. I won't be surprised if one day you get her pregnant." I said and I laughed. He look at me in bad way.
"Alexis!! Chuks!!" Chalize ran at us. Then she hugged me. Just like before she hugged me and I can't breathe because of her tight hug.
"She released her hug at me then she look at Roggen.
"Hi Roggen you are so handsome today." Chalize said and she is smiling and blushing.
Roggen also smiled at Chalize. These two frogs are flirt.
"Come on eat lunch with us." Roggen invited Chalize.
"Sorry I can't it with you cause my schedule was changed again. I'm just going in now. So I had already eaten lunch." Chalize said and she looks sad.
"Don't be sad Chalize don't worry next time I'll treat you." Roggen said
"Okay thanks" Chalize said while smiling then he hugged Roggen.
"Aren't you ashamed of what you do?" I asked Chalize but they are just laughed.
"What's funny?" I asked in rude way.
"You are so rugged." Chalize said then laughed again.
"So I'm gotta go to my class." Chalize said to us.
"Bye, Ms. cute" Roggen said that's why Chalize shuddered in what Roggen's said.
"Bye Chuks Alexis, bye Mr. handsome" Chalize said then she is running to go her classroom. He can't hide her feelings.
"I don't know that you are also flirt." I said to Roggen. We are eating in the canteen. He didn't answered me, he just smile while eating.
"Do you know what is the motto of Chalize?" I asked Roggen.
"What?" Roggen asked seriously.
"Study first, he is just flirting but she has dreams. She doesn't have plan to enter in a relationship." I said to Roggen. Roggen just smiled.
"Why are you smiling? Are you smiling because you don't have chance to Chalize?" I asked him in serious way, then I laughed.
"That's nice, I love the girl who have ambition and determination in life." Roggen said.
"If you really like her you should wait until she finished her study." I said in serious way.
He just smiled again. Why is he always smiling? Such a weirdo.
"I don't like her." He said in seriously.
"Don't you like Chalize? Wow you are so handsome." I said and I am clapping. He just laughed loudly, that's why I also laughed.
"Because I think I'm inlove with another girl. He said seriously while looking directly in my eyes. His look is like has meaning. My heart beats faster. He is still Iooking in my eyes. I stopped looking in his eyes and look in my foods.
"Tomorrow we'll have an oral recitation. You should read your notes and books." He added.
"I don't have notes, I am too lazy to take down notes." I said in rude way. He just shake his heads. I shocked when he opened his bag and he put the book on the table.
"This is my another book, you can barrow this." He said seriously.
"Who are you to command me?"
"I am yours" He said then laughed loudly.
"You such a flirt!! I shouted at him. I feel that my face heat up.
"No I'm just kidding. Do you remember that I helped you in our dissection? If you wanna return what I did to you, you have to read my book. You should answer Ms. Agazer's question. If you do that I am the first person who will be proud of you. I don't know but I felt his words touched my heart.
END OF FLASHBACK
I read the book of Roggen. I finished to read all the lessons and my head hurts. That's why I go out in my room and went to kitchen to eat some foods.
"My dear daughter!! Alexis" I shocked when my mommy and daddy came to home.
"Mommy!! I ran at her then hugged her. I look at my daddy, I get his hands then I put it on my forehead. It is called "Mano." Mano or pagmamano is an "honoring-gesture" used in Filipino culture performed as a sign of respect to elders and as a way of requesting a blessing from the elder. Similar to hand-kissing, the person giving the greeting bows towards the hand of the elder and presses their forehead on the elder's hand.
I surprise because my daddy smiled at me. He is always serious in me, but now he looks happy.
"Mam and sir!!" Nanny came to my dad and mom then she hugged them.
"You didn't tell that you will arrive today." Nanny said.
"Because we just wanna surprise you." Mommy said.
"We have gifs for you nanny." Mommy said then she gave dress and foods to Nanny.
"Wow thank you very much!! Mom and sir!!" Nanny said while jumping in joy that's why we laughed at her.
"Alexis my dear daughter here are your gifts." Mommy said then she gave a lot of gifts.
"That's all for you." Daddy said.
"Thank you mom and dad." I just said. After that we went to our table and we are eating together.
"Alexis, your dad is agreed to cancel the case against to your best friend Jhomar." While we are eating mommy opened the topic about Roggen.
"Thank you Dad!! I exclaimed.
I did that because I understand that Jhomar can't do that to you. Aside from that your adviser said your are doing great in you studies. That's nice to hear." This is the first time that Daddy praised me. His words touched my heart. I didn't notice that my tears dripped from my eyes.
