It was the 24th of December. The day before Christmas and the government or military hasn't found us so we did the next best thing. Decorate. Around 9 a.m in the morning, we started decorating the summer house. Well.. Christmas house now. Professor Zachary and Daniel were placing Santa on his slay with all his reindeer with Alexa direction. I was there watching them.
Alexa "A little more to the left. Now to the right. back to the left. Back to the right. There... no, to the left, back to the right, almost there boss"
Zachary "I swear, she loves torturing us."
Alexa "Less talking more walking. There! perfect." They came down the ladder. As the reached down the ladder, I hugged the professor.
"You were great professor! You too Daniel! Now, what else do we have to decorate?"
Professor Zachary "Other than the entire house? Nothing."
We had the most fun putting up decorations, mounting up the Christmas tree, and all other stuff that we thought for once, everything was fine. We forgot anyone in the world existed but us.
"Daniel, your suppose to hand the Christmas circle at the door."
Daniel "Oh.. sorry. I thought it was a hat." *hangs it up t the door*
"If you want a hat, follow me." I took his hand and went by the professor. He was there taking out the Christmas orientation from the box. He was wearing a Christmas hat. "Professor! Daniel needs a Santa hat."
Professor Zachary "Then I guess you need elf ears and hat." I got annoyed. I love the professor, but his sarcasm is another thing.
"No. I'll just take the hat. But he needs a Santa hat."
Professor Zachary "Santa and his jolly, own elf. You don't see that everybody. One for the year books."
"I'm noting dressing up as an elf. I'm too tall?"
Professor Zachary "Then be the tallest elf. Although, you didn't pass Santa height so your still short as an elf. Face it, your a cute, little elf."
"No I'm not! I'm not a baby anymore! I don't need to be an elf anymore." I huffed. There was amazing look of his face as he laughed.
Professor Zachary "Okay okay. You'll be frosty the snowman. Or do you want to be Rudolph the red nose reindeer? Although, your cheeks are more red then your nose. hahaha."
"Thats mean professor! Very, very mean!" I hate to admit it but this was getting quite amusing but none the less, Daniel got his Santa hat but I the elf hat.
Professor Zachary "You still took the elf hat? ha.. hah"
"It's the principal of the matter. Besides, it's starting to grow on me. Come on Daniel, we have decorating to do."
Daniel "Oh boy."
Professor Zachary "She never changed a bit."
Later that day, we were in the pool. Daniel was allergic to the salt water in the ocean to tell pool was the best option. The pool was shaped like an irregular shape. Alexa was in a black swimsuit. Professor Zachary was in a swim trucks. I was in a two piece and Daniel was in one of professor swim trucks. Daniel and I were in the pool while the professor sat on a bench chair smoking his fifth cigarette while Alexa sat at the edge of the pool, splashing her feet in the water.
Daniel "We all worked so hard today. This was.. better than the cell I was locked in."
"No! no! no one bad thing! This is relaxation. Now relax. I know, let's have a swimming contest."
Daniel "But, but. I can't swim."
"Do I have to teach you that too? Do I have to teach you everything?"
Daniel "N-no n-not everything.. I know some... somethings." he stammered. "Like how to use a toaster."
Alexa "His studies shows that he can adopt to anything quite frequently."
Daniel "But he can't swim. I say his adaptation failed. Never the less, let's swim."
"What do you want?" Alexa asked coldly, as the professor at next to her.
Professor Zachary"Ouch. I haven't said a word and your already cold. I hope it's the night that's keeping you cold."
Alexa "Shut up! I had just about enough of you!" She pushed him in the water violently. He made a big splash and it caught the attention of Daniel and I. Oh boy. Nothing ever changed.
Professor Zachary "Join in, the water great."
Alexa " No thank you. I'm fine. I'm going inside." *walks away*
Professor Zachary "Alright.k *turns to Daniel and Crystal* "Dont mind me, I'll be under the water." *sinks to the bottom*
Daniel "Well he be okay?"
"Yeah. Well, wanna go inside and drink some hot chocolate and watch some Christmas movies on Netflix?"
Daniel "Together? Um.. sure. Although, I have never been with a girl before so I'll be kind of never. Just a heads up."
"Dont worry. Well just share a blanket. Nothing much will happen."
Daniel "Okay. I trust you."
Inside, Daniel and I watched some Christmas movies while wearing a blanket that my grandfather made. We had a full cup of hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies to eat. We were watching "Holiday in handcuffs" This is the professor favourite movie of a life time but I don't know why. As the movie started, I stayed quiet, a train of thought running through my mind. My mood turned sour and watery, Daniel noticed this.
Daniel "Wanna talk about." i looked at him confused "Is there something on your mind?"
"No. I just trying to remember my family. It's been so long.. I can't remember anything anymore."
Daniel "Hey, you have family now. And me. Even though I'm not considered as family." I giggled at his words. We continue to watch the movie when Alexa came by and stood in front the tv.
"Where the professor?" She demanded.
"Can you movie from the t.v. please. We're missing the movie."
Alexa faceplates "Just answered the question.
"He's outside" replied Daniel.
"Thank." Then she left.
Outside by the pool, I saw the one man who I shared complicated feeling for. "Get out of there! you'll catch a cold!"
"Glad to see you still cared about me." His handsome but I dislike his sarcasm. Oh, I could punch for that! "Shut up and get out!"
"Yeah yeah." He replied. I robbed my templates. "I love yyou I hate you. what's wrong with you?"
"Did you just confess your feeling for me?" His devilish smirk made my heart beat, my face flushed but my hands turned into a fist. Seriously, was he born to torture me?
"SHUT UP!" I screamed.
"QUIET. Your voice will make the military find us."
"Yeah. Yeah." I sighed. He walked pass by. I as going to let him pass but my hands stopped him in his tracks. "Why.." I blushed. He faced me a confused look. "Why do you put up with my abusive behavior?"
"your really want to know?" I nod as he sighed. "I secretly like the pain. You see, I was bullied as a child and as I got constantly bullied, the more I enjoy it. It's weird but.. I like the pain. Besides, there is no one better than I have abusive me then you."
"So you take the abuse because of a few bullies?" She shook his head in disagreement. "My father is an abuser. He would abuse my mother until she died. To be honest, he used to play the bullied to beat me up everyday."
"Sorry.."
"Dont be. He's in jail for a lifetime. I visits him once to give him mom's bracelet since he brought it for her. I never told Angelica about it though. I don't want her to end up lik me."
"Wait! isn't our personality computed in her brains? I mean.. it wasn't fair that we saved her but not her parents. Not only, she almost died in the car crash but her biological parent didn't make it."
"I know. Her father was a friend of mine. I was always an uncle to her. No one ever meant for Angelica to be a robot but it was better than watching her die. Beasties, I only gave her the best and annoying details that we both have."
"She doesn't have your sarcasm."
"Not with you on top." He walked away.. what I'd he.. That man! How there he! Hmph! Well.. He isn't wrong. But, I don't do annoying things. I mean I drink but.. I though he placed that in. Unless.. He couldn't! He found me blocking the t.v. annoying! He didn't.. did he. He probably did. *sighs* What am I going do with that man? Whip him into shape!
