"If you are the only teacher in the world, I will never miss class."I texted.
" hahaha, you are so funny." she texted.
"Alright, I want you to get your beauty rest now, okay?"I replied.
"Okay babe, goodnight."she texted.
"Goodnight and sweet dreams."I replied. I went offline and dropped my phone on the bedside drawer. I laid on the bed.
Wait, what if I surprise her by reading more? I quickly stood up and went to the book shelf. What will I read? I took a biology textbook and went to my reading table. I read all night until I was taken by sleep.

I woke up the next morning with an headache. I guess I slept too late. I glanced at the wall clock, it was 9:15 a.m. My parents should have boarded their flight by now.
I went into the bathroom and did my stuff and came out. I wore a blue shirt and a blue short. I took my phone and walked downstairs.
"Sir, breakfast is ready." The maid said and I went to the dining table. I ate till I was filled up. I walked to the living room and switched on the TV. I settled on a music channel. I switched on my phone and called Kyla.
"Hey baby." she called. I loved it when she calls baby.
"Good morning sweetie." I said.
"Good morning." she said.
"I hope you had a nice sleep." I said.
"Yeah, I did."she said. "Jeremy" someone called from the background.
"Who's that?" I asked.
"It's Daisy." she said.
" Okay, give her the phone." I said.
"Hey Jeremy." She said with her tiny voice.
"hey Daisy. How are you today?" I asked .
"I'm fine."she said sharply.
" That's good. I hope you are my friend now." I asked.
"Yes, but you still have to give me your snacks." she said and I laughed.
"Ok, boss lady. Whatever you say." I said.
"Ok, I'm giving Kyla the phone."she said.
"Baby."Kyla's voice came in.
"Daisy and I finally became friends."I said and she chuckled.
"Congratulations." she said.
"Yeah, it calls for a celebration." I said and she laughed. "Ok babe, I'll pick you up later ok?"
"Ok bye." she said and I hung up.
I looked at the time, it was 12:00pm already. I heard the car coming in. They're here. I went outside. The car parked and they both came out. I went to them and embraced them.
"Welcome Mum, welcome Dad." I said.
"How have you been?" Mum asked, checking me out.
"I've been ok Mum." I said.
" You've grown taller than your mum." she said and I laughed.
"Yeah, just like his dad." Dad said and we laughed.
"Ok, you two are cheating me. Right?" Mum said and I embraced her.
"No Mum, we're not. We still love you, right Dad?"I said.
"Of course honey."dad said. "Let's go in." We walked inside. The maids took their things to their room. They went upstairs to settle down in the room, while I sat in the living room.
"J boy." mum called. She was used to calling me that. She walked down to the living room.
"Yes mum." I answered.
"How are your friends?" She asked.
"They're fine."
" I hope you guys haven't been into any mischievious acts lately."she said, taking her seat opposite me.
"Mum why do you always think that?" I asked.
"Because it's what you guys are known for." she said.
"Give him a break honey. They are just having fun." Dad said and walked to us, sitting beside Mum.
"You're always the one spoiling him." mum said to Dad and I laughed.
"I'm not. The boy needs to enjoy his youth, he is only going to experience it once in his life." Dad said.
" Yeah, so he has to enjoy it by hurting others." mum said.
" Mum I don't hurt them, I won't call it that." I said.
"Then what will you call it?"she asked.
" Dad."I called.
"Let him be, honey."he said.
"Ok fine, but what if he gets into trouble, you'll..." I cut in.
"I'm not getting into any sort of trouble Mum. You are just being a drama queen."I said and dad laughed.
"What? Honey, did you hear what your son called me?" She asked dramatically and looked at dad. He tried to hide his laughter.
" J, don't call your mum a drama... queen." he said and we both laughed.
"Ok, I see what's going on here. You two are ganging up on me." she said.
"No it's not like that."I said and she sighed.
"How about school? Any improvements?" she asked.
"What do you mean improvement?" I asked.
"Your studies, J boy. Please tell me Brian isn't still helping you on your exams." she said.
"Mum..." she cut in.
" I'm serious on this, J boy. Honey back me up on this." She nudged dad.
"Yes, Jeremy how about your studies?" dad asked reluctantly.
" Well you won't believe it if I tell you this. I'm kinda studying now."I said.
"You are studying?" mum asked in surprise.
"Yes I am. Chemistry, physics and biology for now."I said.
"Jeremy are you serious?"dad asked.
"Yes Dad, I am." I said and went ahead in telling them some things I had learnt from my studies.
"Oh my God, is this my son?" mum asked.
"You mean our son."dad said.
" Yeah, yeah, but J boy how did this happen? You mean to tell me you finally made use of your reading table?"mum asked.
"Yup, all thanks to Kyla." I said and they both exchanged glances.
"Who is Kyla?"they chorused.
"A new girl in our school. She's brilliant, smart, beautiful and my girlfriend." I said and they both gasped.
"Your girlfriend? You have a girlfriend?" Dad asked.
"Finally. I'm really so happy."mum said.
"What happened to the fact that you hate girls?"dad asked.
"It changed. Kyla made it change."I smiled at her thought.
"Wow, he's even blushing." mum said I laughed.
"I really want to see that girl that changed you this much." Dad said.
"He even studies now, this is so great."mum said.
"Don't worry,I know you would want to see her so I invited her over for dinner tonight. So you'll get to meet her."I said.
"Oh, that is perfect. I really need to thank her."mum said.
"Yes we do."dad said.
"My J boy has a girlfriend, amazing."Mum said.
"Please Mum, I would really appreciate it if you don't call me J boy when she comes." I said and she laughed.
"Yes honey, we don't want him to feel embarrassed."dad said.
" OK, I'll try not to do that." mum said.
