The time flew passed because I didn't even notice that one week and one day has already passed since the time I returned home from being a mercenary for fifteen years.
"Hey brother.... Do you know what day it is?" My sister asked me and looked at the calendar that is hanging in the kitchen wall "uhmmm... It's June 21" I said to her and also looked at the time "it's already 8 am, we should hurry up and get ready for school....." I said to her and then smile "oh yeah, we should...." She said "?" I didnt say anything. I ate and prepared my things so that I can get ready to go to school. After preparing, I go to my sister's room and then knock on her door "hey Ara, are you ready? You should hurry... But if it's a bigger problem it's okay and just call me if you need any help" I said outside her door and heard her answer "oh it's nothing... I just finished preparing my things, let's go now!" She said as she go outside her room and then pull me to the door, open it and we both go outside to go to school.
"The final exam is nearing, Al we are going to do is just review.... If you don't want to go to school it's okay, just review you're notes okay?" Ara said to me "yeah.... I dont want to disappoint mom" I said to her and smile "hehe..." She chuckled which made me smile "he's much more handsome whenever he smiles....." I heard a girl said but I didnt look to their direction and just continue to walk "yo bro.... Look at that guy's girlfriend... Or I think it's his sister.... Don't you think she is cute? Should we asked for her number?" I heard a guy and feel the presence of one of the guy coming towards our direction "hey miss.... Can we get your number?" He said as she touch my sister in her shoulder "uhmm... I'm sorry but... I dont give my numbers to strangers...." She said and the guy got angry all of a sudden "what....? The fuck!? All I want is your numbe-" he didn't managed to continue what he is going to say because I glare at him "yo bro.... I think we should go... I don't wanna die yet...." I heard the guy who just asked for my sister's number says "uhmmmm... I think you scared them.... Hehe..." My sister says ".....what?" I says to her and smile as if I didn't do that on purpose, I actually did that on purpose because they are bothering my sister.
As we walk to our school, we finally managed to get there and I escorted her to her room and just as I was about to leave...
BAMMMMM
I heard a loud sound coming from their direction "SALLY!!!" I heard my sister shouts so I quickly entered their room and saw Ara holding a girl with Black hair "hey why did you do that?!" I hear my sister shouts at the five guys and three girls looking down at them "because that bitch is annoying? I don't know?" She said 'who is she?' I said in my mind as I go to the direction of Ara "hey Ara, are you okay?" I asked Ara and looked at the girl she called Sally "yeah I am okay, but Sally how are you? Are you hurt? Are you okay?" My sister keeps asking her if she is okay "yeah... I'm fine... They just push me and thats all..." She says. I looked at the direction of the ones that is bullying the girl named Sally and all of them looked at me too "what bitch? Do you think just because you beat Axel, that dumbass you think you can beat us too? We have over a hundred man with us y'know" he said "..." I didnt say anything and just as I was about to go to their direction, a guy shouts "hey! Mr. Santos is here!" All of the students including Ara and Sally stand up and go to their seats, even the bullies go out and judt smirked at Sally "brother.... You should go to your room now.... Don't worry..." Ara says to me and I am not gonna lie, I'm worried about her getting hurt again and when I was about to say something, she said "don't worry, if something happens, I'm honna call you" and smile "okay..." I said to her and then smiled back at her "I'm gonna go now" I said and then get out of her room to go to mine.
I entered our room and saw almost all of them already here, I just go to my seat and sit there "hello...." I heard a girl's voice even though it was only a whisper "hello.... Kay right?" I said to her and smile "uh!!!! Yeah.... Thanks for remembering my name..." She says with her face red "..." I didnt say anything and just looked at her "uhmmm... Do you like books...?" She says and then hides her face using the book she was reading "yeah.... Kinda...." I answered and lookee at the booked she used to cover her faced 'Player's System?' I asked myself as I looked at the book "uhmmm... Do you like some action books... Or.... Fantasy...?" She asked me with her faced still red "yeah.... That's the kind of book I liked to read I said to her with a smile on my faced and again, she looked away with the booked covering her face '...' "w-well..... We are the same...." She says "..." I still didn't say anything to her but I just smiled again and after that, our teacher came in "okay class, get back to your seats! We are going to start the class!" She says "we don't have any more topics left so.... We are just gonna review because the exam is gonna happen in a few days which is on Monday already so.... Get ready!" The teacher says and started to review us.
I already finished the other periodical exams every subject from first to third grading period, it is a lot of stress but I managed to passed each test because the teacher is always giving me food and water every time i finish one test, she even asked me to do just one subject each day and im good to go home. Her face is always red when she is talking to me I don't know why tho.
After the class, I go to my sister's classroom to get her so we could go home but as I expected, the guys that is bullying Sally is there, bullying her again "Hey!! Stop that already!!!" Ara shouts at them and a guy was about to punch him but I stopped his fist "aurgh!!!" I heard him groan "l-let go!" I heard him says and let go "Ara... Let's go" I said to Ara and go to her direction. Ara help Sally to stand up until we make it out of the school "it's okay now Ara.... You don't need to help me..." She says to Ara "are you sure? You might need a little help, just asked me" Ara says with a smile on her face but at the same time worried about Sally "brother..... Can we walked Sally home...?" Ara asked "what? You don't need to do that..." Sally insisted but I says "it's okay, where's your house?" I said to her but she keeps insisting, but in the end, we won and she can't do anything so she just let us escort her to her house "my brother must be here now.... He didn't go to school today because he says he is going to be busy...." Sally says and looked at her house, it is not too big and not too small, just average "goodbye Sally!" Ara says "yeah you too! Take care!" Ara says back to her.
After we brought Sally to her house, me and my sister go to the direction of our house "hey brother.... Let's stop by a mall can we....?" She says with a smile on her facr "sure" I says and just go to the direction of the mall. She keeps looking at a watch she wants to buy I guess 'but it's for boys though..... Did she likes a boy style watch?' I asked myself as I looked at the other watched and while looking, I saw a lot of girls looking at me. Ara finally buys a watch, it is a good looking watch. I think it is a Fossil watch and it is black, all of it is black including the Roman numeral numbers inside. After that, we go home already and to my surprise, my mom is already there holding a chocolate cake "HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY JIN!" my mom says which made my eyes wide "happy birthday brother!!!!" My sister says with a big smile on her face which made me remember what she asked me eight days ago 'she asked me if I wanted something....' i said in my mind and then my mom then put the cake on the table and tell me to close my eyes and make a wish and bloe the candle in which i followed her instruction. I closed my eyes, make a wish and then blow the candle and both of them clapped their hands.
We enjoyed the night together as we eat the food my mom has prepared to celebrate my birthday "thank you mom.... You too Ara...." I said to them which made them smiled "it's okay honey, you don't need to thank us, it is the minimum we can do to make you enjoy the life you came back" my mom says and hand over me a black box, it is small but not that small "that's my gift from you..." My mom says as I took the box and opened it and saw a phone "isnt this expensive...?" I askee them "it's okay son..... It's not that expensive" she says which is an obvious lie becauss I think this brand came out just last year "this is my gift which is I think you already know....." My sister says and hand over me a black box too. I opened it and saw the watch she just bought neforr we go home "isnt this..?" I asked "yes.... I wanr it to be a surprise but..." She says while kinda sweating "its okay... I like it....." I said and then put the watch on my wrist "the black watch suits you...." My sister says "thanks..." I said and then we all laughed as we enjoy the evening celebrating my happiest birthday.
