School

"Valir, Vanessa wake up or you will be late for school, don't make me go upstairs and wake you up with cold water!"

Hearing a familiar Godzilla's roar from downstairs i opened up my eyes slowly, streaks of light from my window shone upon me, making me squint my eyes, i somehow wonder why i always forgot to close the curtain of my window.

I reluctantly got up from my "semi-paradise" bed and stretch my body for a while. Grabbing my glasses beside my bed, i wore it and head out of my room only to be greeted by my cute little sister's morning face and bed hair...so cute.

As the "Godzilla" had roared before, My name is Valir Valdes, while my cute sister's name is Vanessa Valdes. I'm currently in Senior High School 3rd Grade while my adorable little sister here is in the Junior High School 3rd Grade, we were 3 years apart, My father's name is Mike Valdes while my Mother's name is Vivian Valdes, well the introduction is enough for now, back to the scene.

I stared at her face while she stared back at me, we stared for each other for a while and we were immediately startled by my mother's shout

"Both of you, get down here right now or no allowance for a week!!!"

As soon as my sister heard that she ran down to the dining room leaving me behind, i smiled wryly at her action, well, it is a normal interaction every morning between us more or less. Not waiting anymore second i went downstairs following my sister's trail.

As soon as i arrived at the dining room, i saw my Mother, Father and Sister siting at the dining table.

My mother is currently eating her breakfast and my father is sipping his coffee while reading a newspaper, a cliche scene from a typical father.

Meanwhile my sister had just finished pouring milk into her cereal bowl and started eating her breakfast.

"Valir go wash your hands and eat your bread, don't waste anymore time, you're tight on time!" My mom reminded me, i just followed her instruction.

"Valir, Vanessa, how many times have you both been late to school this week, is it 2 times or 3?" My dad asked me and Vanessa, we looked at each other and she nodded to me.

"Of course not dad, we've only been late 1 times this week." I answered

"Don't lie to me!" My dad reprimanded us.

"It's really only 1 time dad, the one on tuesday doesn't count, it's clearly 6.45 when we got to the gate but it was Mr.Sam guarding that day, he hates us so he marks us as late!" i rebutted it was a true story, i didn't lie.

"I trust you then but please don't be late anymore this week, last week you were late 4 TIMES!"

"Ok we won't dad, now i want to take a bath" I said, last week is one of the worst week we had, on the 1st time, i woke up late because that last night i played games till 12 O'Clock, the 2nd time, Vanessa watched too much korean drama the night before, 3rd time i just can't wake up in that morning with no reason whatsoever while on the 4th time it was purely traffic jam.

After 45 minutes, me and Vanessa had done our morning routine and wore our uniform, and once again we met at the same corridor in the morning, well we stared at each other again and after a while, we came down and got into mom's car after saying goodbye to our father.

It is now 6.27, it takes around 15 minutes give or take to arrive at our school using car while the school's time limit is 6.45, so by math we should not be late, i hope.

We arrived at school at 6.44 barely made it, luckily today it's not Mr.Sam guarding so we're safe. We part ways since Junior high school is in the left side of the building while Senior High School is in the right side of the building.

After walking 4 painful and long stairs to the 4th floor, in which i really hate, i arrived at my class after just a few more steps. I went inside and search for a place to sit on, in the front left of the class i saw my friend, Bryan sitting while my other friend David sits behind him.

I took the seat beside Bryan while greeting them, Bryan is a somewhat fat guy, but not too fat, he's about the same height as me, at 170 cm tall while my friend David is an average guy with one exception, his face got a lot of freckles.

"Valir, didn't expect you to arrive on time, thought you'll be late lke last time." David said to me

"Yeah, my dad got mad at me since last week is pretty over the top..." i said with a smile but not a smile in my face

"Don't fret about it too much, it's just late a few times a week, with your grades, there is no way you'll get into trouble with just a few lates here and there." Bryan said to me, i know that fact but it's just not fun getting told by my dad.

We continued joking around since my homeroom teacher seems to be absent, she haven't arrived at our class to start our devotion.

While we were joking around, a girl approached me.

"Valir, here, I've done the finishing touches on our slide for the English presentation tomorrow, please check if there is any mistake and fix it."

"Ok sure, thanks for your hard work" I replied

"Ok, bye" she said

"bye" i said with a beaming smile on my face

Seeing that both of my friends had a smile on their faces, making me feel somewhat irritated since i know what they wanted to say next.

"Hey, don't you think that Olivia is pretty cute huh?" Bryan asked

"Yeah, she is so cute and pretty that i might try confessing to her, maybe i have a shot." David answered that question with the intention of annoying me

"Ok, stop it you two, you do know that Olivia can probably hear what you're saying right." I said to both of them, making david a little bit of shy since we saw Olivia turning her head towards us for a while.

"For real though, we know that you have had a crush on her ever since 10th grade, for 3 years you've been lucky enough to be in the same class as her but you didn't even make a single move on her!" Bryan chimed in to wash away david's shame

"Yeah, you're in senior high school, with an above average looks and a smart brain, I think you're perfect with her, the same as you, an above average looks and a smart brain!" David said.

Olivia is a girl with pure black shoulder length hair, beautiful brown eyes, fluttering eyelashes, captivating lips and more features that can't be described by mere words…well at least from my perspective.

I know that they said that to encourage me into confessing my feelings to her but I kinda can't take it seriously, considering both of them had never dated anyone before…

Well I just accepted their advice wholeheartedly and consider it once in a while. The day then went as any usual day in my school life, following lessons, taking notes, eating lunch with my friends and then back to lessons until the last bell rang, signifying the end of the last lesson and day.
