Willowfield's Family

I told them the whole truth, about what exactly happened in the gym.

"What?! So this guy is not that pretty kind like what you've told us?!"

"Yes, "I instantly replied.

"Fuck! You are the one who's not pretty kind here!" defended Zire.

"HEY!" yelled Brian while stomping her feet so hard on the ground that makes Zire and Shakira startled and became silent.

"Don't you ever dare to talk to her like that!" said Brian. I looked at Brian and she just winked at me.

"Tss!" was the only thing Zire said. Brian glared at him. I saw Zire made a small gulp while looking away.

"Whatever. I'm going now.." said Zire and grabbed his bag and placed it in his left shoulder and went outside.

"What a bastard!" yelled Brian.

"Shhh!!!..." said Shakira while pointing her index finger between her lips. They both looked at me, cause I was completely silent then they asked me if I am okay, I said yes, there was silence there like they are not satisfied with my answer, but after that, we decided to head to our homes.

"I'm home.." I said and hear something from the kitchen. I look in there and saw Mom wearing a pink apron. I don't know why Mom is still calm despite that she knows, that I'm just pretending and even told to my Homeroom Teacher.

"You're here. Right in time I cooked some cookies, want some?" my mom said while holding a pan with freshly baked cookies from our oven. I smiled and grabbed some cookies and ate them.

"This is delicious mom, you are greatly improving now" I joked and she laughed, we went inside and I saw my dad wearing an apron too while holding some newly baked cookies. I looked at my mom and she just laughed, I knew it. Dad is the one who baked these cookies as usual. I don't want to ruin their mood but still, I told them that I am so tired, so they escorted me to my room.

"I'll call you when dinner is ready," said mom. I smiled and nodded then I closed the door. I sat down in my bed ignoring the sounds of birds outside my window. My room is so gloomy, cozy, and cold even if it's hot out there.

My feet won't move to open the light in this room. I was remained silent resting my face for those thousands of pretending emotions I made lately and thinking about what happened later, first day so many things happened.. sigh. I feel like my face isn't elastic.

Gladly there are no classes tomorrow, they announced that there are some occasions tomorrow for the teachers in our school so they needed some 2 days, they said tomorrow is the birthday of the Dean so all of the employees of the RU are all invited especially teachers of course... I laid down in my bed and I was trying to sleep when my phone rings...

"Yes, Brian?"

"{Hey, Ire! No classes tomorrow and on the other day! It's so fun, right?}" said Brian.

"Yeah,.. sooo?"

"{So I was thinking could we have some fun? Tomorrow? I know a place? Are you in?}" she asked. Hmm, there's nothing bad about it anyways she's right we don't have classes tomorrow and another day, so why not?

"Yeah, sure. Count me in."

"{Yeah, I'll make sure Shakira will join us. Let's meet up in front of the Seong'sue Cafe at 8:00 am, bye Ire!}"

"Okay, bye.."I said and hang up the call. I guess it's not a bad idea to learn to have some fun even though I never felt it.

I laid down in my bed thinking nothing then I heard a knock on my door. It opened and I saw mom entered my room. Wearing that smile again...

"Darling, dinner is ready.." said mom. I pretend asleep so that she won't ask me why I didn't turn on the lights. She came near me and tapped my shoulder.

"Darling, wake up. Dinner's ready.."

".. oh, okay.." I said and I lifted up my body and stretch my arms and yawned.

"It's really a tiring day for you, dear?"

"Yes mom.,"I said. And we both went outside my room and head to the kitchen.

I saw freshly cooked turkey, nachos, bacon, and pancakes. Some of here look like breakfast to me.

"Some are looks like breakfast to me, dad"

"Ho ho, dear. But still, I cooked turkey to make it like a dinner.." dad said and we both laughed. We all sat down, before we eat we prayed to thank god for everything especially these foods in front of us. And again wished to be normal.

"Amen!" we yelled. Then we started to grab some food.

"By the way Blue, how's your day?"

"It's fine, mom. Lots happened.."

"Like what?"dad asked.

"Well... I met new friends!"I answered while eating my food.

"Really? That's good. Who are they?" mom added. I let out secret deep sighed then looked at them, again in my fake smile.

"Lots of them. Shakira who is a little bit shy and..." I stopped, do I need to tell them about Irashelyn and her friends?

"And?" added dad.

"And Zire.." I froze for a moment because of what my mouth just said, but still keeping this smile. Why? Why did I tell them about this man? He's not my friend after all I just met him.

"Zire? Is that the name of a boy?" asked mom. I nodded and began eating my meal.

"Honey, I told you it's okay to be friends with boys, but no boyfriend.." dad said. I just made a small laughed.

"Dad don't worry he's not my type and he's just a friend but not that too close..", I answered. Then they laughed. It is not like someone will love me romantically... they will get bored.

"By the way dad, how's your first day in your work?"I asked while eating.

"Fine, even though our new manager is so strict. Well, what should I expect?

"Immigrating here TOTALY after your grandma died and find a new job here is not so easy, but I'm glad the Moonlight company accepted me" replied dad. Moonlight huh?

"Now, now let's just eat," said mom and we start finishing our meals. Well, at least Dad has a job here, but Moonlight Company? Somehow so familiar... It's impossible that Irashelyn is connected to that right? Because first, her father owns only cosmetics as what I remember before, and in Dad's workplace they are handling bags and jewelry.

Anyways, after an hour, I finished washing dishes, cleaning myself, and toothbrush, change my clothes to my pajamas, I instantly laid down in my bed. Still, my room is so dark, I really don't want to turn it on except reading, studying, and writing.. but now I don't want to do anything.

Well thinking about tomorrow, I need to prepare myself to act normal, to pretend to be happy because Shakira will be there, I'm sure. Then I moved my body to the left side and fall asleep.
