"Girls~~ get up fast. It's time for dinner. You both have been sleeping the whole day."
Echo's mother came in her room booming but being the heavy sleepers they are, they didn't budge even a little. So, her mother did the only thing which can wake them up.
"Elise~ Echo~ it's gonna rain on you if you don't wake up right now."
.....No response
"Ok then, let it be this way."
She threw a jug of water which awoke them. Elise shrugged off all the water and growled at her. On the other side Echo was still half asleep.
"ECHO STARX, GET THE FRICK UP RIGHT NOW BEFORE I THROW AWAY ALL YOUR BOOKS."
"I'm up, I'm up"
"Good, dry your bed, change your clothes and both of you come down for dinner."
She went back downstairs closing the door.
"(sigh 😔) Let's dry up Elise and go down before she comes up and beats us. Don't worry we can sleep as much as we want from tomorrow."
"Meow~~"
I dried up the bed and changed into something comfy and warm since the temperature has started dropping lke always.
"C'mon Elise."
She jumped in my arms and I went downstairs skipping the steps.
"We're here~ where's Elise's dish?"
"Here it is and how many times have I told you not to jump stairs."
"I don't know maybe a lot."
I said sitting in my place after giving Elise her food. I like annoying her, she has the best reactions.
"My my how much you both sleep. No wonder Elise loves you so much."
"Shut up dad. I have to work whole night and in morning I have school. I need to sleep to regain my energy."
"Hmm, by the way, what will you be doing here alone?"
"I will... work and sleep the whole day."
"What about the boxing tournament? Are you not participating this year?"
"Like every year, I'm participating this year too. What makes you think I won't?"
"Cuz the tournament starts after the vacation. You didn't mention anything about practice."
"Ooooo is that so? There's a lot of time so, I don't have to worry about practice."
"Don't even think about sleeping whole day, i'm going to check on you every now and then."
"My dear mother, if you're forgetting again then let me remind you, I'm a computer genius. I'll hack all the cameras."
I said with a teasing smirk which pisses her off the most. I love her face when she's pissed.
"Ahh, why do I always forget about that?"
"I don't know maybe because you're aging. I recommend you should see a doctor."
"WHAT!!! How can you say that?"
"From my mouth." I said eating.
"Youuuuuuuuuu."
"Meeeeeeeeeee."
"See your daughter, she's so disrespectful.
Dad and Cullen are dying from laughter because of us. Dad controlled himself before answering.
"Oh so now she's my daughter? When she's being disrespectful and naughty then she's my daughter otherwise she's yours. WOW."
Dad said sarcastically clapping and now it was mine and Cullen's turn to laugh.
"Hmph! like father, like daughter. Echo is your xerox copy."
"Oooooo, but grandma said dad is grandpa's xerox copy and I am dad's xerox copy. So this means grandpa would be his dad's copy and he would be his dad's copy and he would be his dad's copy and-
"Ahhhhhh, STOP! I understood that it's pointless bickering with you two."
Before I could say anything else Cullen stopped me.
"Noona please stop before me and dad choke on our food."
"Okay~~~"
"Noona I heard whoever reaches the finals will be fighting against a foreign champion."
"Echo is also this country's champion. She won 8 National Boxing Tournaments."
"If it's a foreign champion then it will be a great chance to get famous internationally and for that you'll have to practice a lot."
"I will try my best. By the way~ who's the foreign champion."
"🤔 Hmm... Yes! I heard people saying it's Clara Celeste."
"WHAT!!!!!!"
"Hey hey, calm down, what happened?" Mum and Cullen asked in unison.
"You can't be serious Cullen. Are you sure it's Clara Celeste?"
"Yup, I'm damn sure. I checked the news to make sure of it."
"OMG!!!!"
"I'm so happy for you. You'll finally get to meet her."
"Wait, will someone explain to us what's going on between you two? Talk in a language we understand."
"Yes, you are again talking in a cryptic way."
"She's in shock right now, so I'll explain. Clara Celeste is her role model since she started boxing. She's finally going to meet her."
"You never told us about it."
"That's cuz she loves me more.😝"
"That's not true."
"Accept it, truth is always bitter."
"Mum dad stop bickering. It's my job."
"Exactly, let's finish eating and then we have to do a final check on our luggage."
"Cullen's right, let's finish up and Echo we'll be leaving at 6 tomorrow. I'll keep you breakfast on the counter. Make sure to clean the house and take care of yourself."
"Hmmm."
"Meow~ meow~ meow~"
"What happened Elise?"
