Two Years

February 1st of the Year 2028, somewhere in the middle of the city, a beautiful girl with silver hair was sleeping in her room soundly. Undisturbed by the sound beside her.

*Beep! *Beep! *Beep! The girl kept on sleeping, even though her alarm clock keeps on ringing so loudly.

*Beep! *Beep! *Beep!

The noise from the alarm clock kept on ringing to the point where it is heard downstairs.

The mother of the beautiful girl downstairs noticed that her daughter is still sleeping so soundly upstairs. Despite the annoying sound of the alarm clock. So she went to her room and to wake her daughter up.

*Knock *Knock *Knock

"Alexandria! Alexandria! honey, wake up!" Her mother shouted outside her room while knocking.

"You're going to be late for your first day of face-to-face classes at school." Her mother called out.

"Sigh, This girl must have played computer games all night again. Even though I told her to sleep early because her classes are finally starting." Her mother mumbled as she keeps on knocking on Alexandria's door.

Her mother realized that it is already pointless to keep knocking on Alexandria's door because Alexandria is a heavy sleeper. Every time she played and slept very late with her friends. Seeing that there is still no movement inside Alexandria's room, no matter how hard she knocks and calls out. Her mother decided to open the door and wake Alexandria up herself.

She took the keys in her pocket and opened the door.

Her mother walked through her room and went to her alarm clock to turn it off. Her mother then pulled the blankets away from Alexandria.

Her mother then sits down on her bed beside her, then gently caressing Alexandria's face while waking her up.

"Alex, Alexandria, honey, Alexandria, wake up. Didn't I tell you and your friends last night to stop playing and sleep early? It is your first day in school today so, you should properly dress yourself up and look good."

Feeling someone caressing her face, Alexandria woke up hearing her mother's rant beside her. Alexandria turned her body so that her back is facing her mother. That way, Alexandria's mother won't see that she is already awake. Alexandria keeps on pretending to sleep as she does not want to get up yet.

"Ahhh, so you want to play that way." Already used to her daughter's habits, her mother instantly knows that Alexandria is just pretending and is already wide awake.

Alexandria loves to play with her mother a lot of times, and this time she decided not to get up because of her laziness.

Her mother moved closer to Alexandria and pinched her sides.

"Ahhhh, ouch, ouch, ouch, mom, I'm awake, I'm awake." Alexandria was startled from her mother's pinch.

"You should stop acting like a baby and start behaving like a lady. You're already 18 years old, entering your high school years. Go dress yourself up like a lady. Like a "lady" do you understand?" Her mother said, emphasizing the lady.

"Yes~~" Alexandria answered lazily.

"Then hurry and eat your breakfast downstairs, or you're going to be late for your classes." Her mother said, scolding Alexandria while fixing her bed.

Alexandria hugs her mother from behind. "I know you like it when I act like a baby every morning. It's the only time of the day where we can spend a little time together since you are so busy taking care of my brothers and sisters."

Touched by her daughter's gestures, Irene can't help but smile and faced her.

"Okay, okay, I admit it. I like it whenever you do this kind of stuff. But at least learn when is the right time to be mature and when to behave like a baby, and this time is clearly not the right time for you to do stuff like this, do you understand?" Irene said to Alexandria while helping her continue to fix her bed.

"Okay," Alexandria answered while pouting.

"But why did you guys make four babies in a row, anyway, if it's hard to even take care of one?"

Surprised by her daughter's question, Irene blushed a little and paused what she's doing.

"What can I do? It is hard to control your father, especially if we are locked up in our house for three years. We didn't even know we would have twins." Irene answered.

"Now enough of this sweet-talking of yours, let's go down and eat." Irene said after finishing fixing her bed. She then dragged Alexandria downstairs.

"Good morning, Dad," Alexandria greeted her father,

"Good morning Ax, good morning El." Greeting her 4-year-old twin brothers.

"Good morning Serene, good morning Zandra," Greeting her 3-year-old and 2-year-old sisters, respectively.

"Good morning Alexa," Her father greeted back.

"Goo—Good Mornin, Sis—Sistah," Her two younger sisters and the twins greeted back in unison while stuttering.

"By the way, Alex, aren't you late already?" Her father said while looking at his watch.

"It's still early, isn't it?" Alexandria asked.

"No, it's already 7:30 you, know." Her mother answered.

"What!!? Why didn't you say earlier? My classes start at 7:30. I got to go, I need to go." Alexandria said hurriedly while getting one loaf of bread and her backpack.

"You are already late, anyway. A late is still a late no matter what time you arrive, so why don't you slow down for a bit and take your time instead. You should at least take a shower first and finish your breakfast." Her father said to Alexandria, seeing her rushing through the door already.

Hearing her father while the door is already half-opened Alexandria, answered. "No worries, I already ate and took a shower at dawn before I slept." After answering Alexandria, rushed outside because she knows that her mother will scold her again. For taking a shower and sleeping at dawn.

Hearing her daughter's answer, Irene rushed to the door and shouted at Alexandria outside. "Didn't I told you not to take a shower then sleep at night because it is bad for your health!!"

"Goodbye, mom, goodbye dad," Alexandria waved and shouted in reply playfully to her mother.

"Sigh, this girl never listens to any of my advice," Irene mumbled while going back to her seat.

"Don't worry too much about it. Alexandria already has a well-built body, anyway. With all these years going to the gym with me every day and practicing martial arts, she can probably run around all day without getting tired." Zach said.

"You're spoiling her too much."

"You kids, should not follow your sister in the future, do you understand?" Irene turned to her children and said.

"Okayyyyyyyyyyy!!" The children said in unison.
