Band Mate

Marienne Aecy Chandria's Point of View

Look at that! That's why it's sticky. Jeez! Why didn't I look at the calendar today? Damn! I'm not ashamed, I'm just really annoyed and Jerk helped me. This day is the worst.

Why do I have to forget? I think I need to change my brain. So I don't want to be a woman either! This is one of our problems, especially when we get caught somewhere and the worst thing is to get through, like what happened to me today. I'm disgusted with myself now for being forgetful, why did I forget?

"Mac! You still there?" A voice asked from outside the bathroom I entered. It knocked three more times to make sure I was still inside.

"Probably Zac, do you think I'll be able to get out because of my menstruation? Don't worry. Change your brain and maybe it's moldy."

"Tsk, open the door," he said annoyed, making me frown. And why should I do his order?

"And why would I do that? Are you stupid or just plain stupid? You know this is a women's comfort room and then you come in? Can I hit you there?"

"Fool! Open it now and I'll hand you the skirt I borrowed. You have extra underwear, right? You have a brain too. I'm not a fool!" I heard the annoyance in his voice but I didn't care about that. What I need is the skirt he's supposedly holding.

"Yes, yes. You have a lot of chatter there."

I opened the door with a frown and my twin didn't look at me while reaching for plastic. the This one is terrible, do I look dirty in his eyes? It was me who felt the stickiness but I just let it go. Menstruation is not contagious, so why avoid me? Can I wash my shorts now?

"Thank you."

"Get dressed and hurry up, class is about to start again, you're still in the bathroom. Don't drink the water in the bowl or I might lose my twin," he promised.

"Tsk."

After I reached for the plastic, I just closed the door. It's up to me if it breaks, I'm on a bad trip right now. Really bad trip! I don't even care if Zac kicks me out of here later because I closed the door on him. He will take care of his life. I am disgusted with him and also with myself.

I'm not in the mood to retaliate against him flirting with me. I put the plastic in front of the sink and opened it and there I saw a skirt that was short, very short. Especially when I put it on, my groin is probably a little tight. Is Zac serious? Why did he borrow like this? Does he want to see me? Maybe he forgets that somehow I'm still a woman. I have no choice but to wear it. It's crazy! I'm probably going to look good because I'm fine with it.

I always have extra underwear with me, in case of emergency so that's what I used. The plastic included five sanitary napkins, where did he buy them? Maybe he borrowed it too? Asshole, that one has no shame. I just shrugged while fixing the napkin in my underwear.

I went into a sink and cleaned myself, it was sticky. When it's Japan Day, Zac buys my napkin, if not Zac, it's Rex. They are afraid when it's my Japan day, why? It's like I'm teaching them that they'll be punished if they don't follow me. Tsk, I'm their youngest so they should be afraid of me.

After I got ready, I came out of the bathroom and that's when I saw Zac with his back to me. When he probably noticed that someone was staring at him, he turned toward me.

"Are you alright?" He asked and it was as if he was still looking at my body.

"Yes, come on and I'm hungry, maybe I can eat more people when I can't control my hunger anymore."

"Gosh, what are you, cannibal?" He asked with a laugh.

"Yes, let's go."

While we were going to the cafeteria, I was just frowning, this is how I am on Japan Day like I'm always troubled and angry at the world. I'm also annoyed by everything, even Zac's face annoys me even though he doesn't do anything to me.

So when these days he doesn't annoy me too much, because one time before when I had a visit and he annoyed me, he got two black eyes. He looked like a panda because of what I did.

When we got to the corner, Zac made me sit on a bench and he bought our food, he also bought it for free so it's fine hehehe. This will save me money and maybe buy another jersey.

I love that Murasakibarra jersey even though it almost swallowed me when I bought it and wore it. Atsushi is so big that probably, even the merch of that guy is also big.

"Hey, Mac." I turned to the man who called me. Antarctic boy with Korean boy and Jerk. What are they doing here and why are they talking to me? We are not close enough for them to just call us.

"Oh? Your problem?"

"Jeez, high blood immediately?" The Antarctic asked while eating a burger.

"Yes, that's why you run away from my sight, I'm hungry now."

"Let's go, Glenn. Just leave that crazy woman who doesn't know how to say thank you for helping her," Jerk said, obviously listening to me about her helping me earlier. Why! Should I thank him for his help earlier?

"The word thank you is not fashionable with me, Jerk, so just get out of there in front of me because I'm really hungry and maybe I can eat you."

"Mac's wild, raawwwrrrr," Antarctic boy and Korean boy said at the same time, do they need to be together? They are not in the choir to speak at the same time.

"Shut up, you two!" Jerk scolded the two. Disgusted, he took the food from the table while the two just scratched their heads because of Jerk's attitude.

At the same time the three left, Zac arrived with our food. He brought so much food that my eyes almost twinkle-twinkle. Now that I have a monthly period, I want to eat more.

"Oh? Those three left? What did you do?" Zac asked curiously as he opened the sandwich. I took a C2 and opened it to drink.

"No! I'm kind, I didn't fight them but they just left."

"Get angry right away? It's really bad when someone visits, it's like a lesson," said Zac so I looked at him badly.

"Shut up, I might stick this toothpick in your throat if you don't shut up."

"I said I'm going to be quiet," he mumbled and continued eating. I also ate.

After we ate, we went back to the classroom and the teacher who was outside the room might catch up. It is difficult and may be dropped. This school is too strict, especially for people like us who only attend for pocket money. And I wasn't wrong, five minutes later our Math teacher also entered.

The jerk was sitting next to me while listening to the teacher. I sat down at my table, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't understand what the Math teacher was teaching. Why is it necessary to study Math? For sure, not all of us will study engineering or a course related to Math. I wonder if when I get old I will just be a porter. What's that? Do I count the sand to be mixed with a sack of cement? I need to divide how much sand is in a bag of cement. Damn! It's the effect of Math. The afternoon came, and it was time to go home and I was organizing my things again. At least until now, I'm still annoyed.

Ever since recess, I haven't paid attention to Jerk, why? I'm annoyed by his face, why? Because he's ugly, why? Because he is a toothpaste model, why? I do not know! I'm annoyed! Annoying! He was the first to leave the classroom with his two disciples.

Zac came to me, he was still holding the two straps of his bag while smiling at me so I looked at him in surprise. What's the problem with this one? Maybe it needs something, so it's like this to smile.

"Mac let's go to the music room first," he said.

Did you say you need something from me?

"What are we going to do there?"

"Let's dance the cha-cha," he answered sarcastically so I threatened to punch him but he just dodged and scratched his cheek as if he already had a problem with me. Why! I am the problem with him.

"Are you smart? You have both left feet so stop me, Zac."

"It's really good, let's go there. Ma'am told me when we played that we should go there now. Maybe we will be introduced to our future band," he answered with a frown so he just sighed I also frowned.

I frowned and followed him while he was still jumping up and down like a child walking, other students were already looking at him because of what he was doing but he didn't care about the surroundings. Until we reached the music room, he just walked like that.

"Hello!" Zac happily greeted the people inside the room so they immediately turned to us.

Out of Zac and I, he is the friendliest, isn't it obvious? He's happy and childish, tsk. Isn't it obvious? When we were in our province, he was friends with almost everyone in our barangay and even in other barangays. As for me and always only on one side, my friends are also only selected. I know the rest of them are all plastic.

"Oh Zac, you're here, sit down and I'll introduce you to another member of the band," said Ma'am Ibañez, the one who interviewed us yesterday.

Zac was smiling and waving at them while I was serious because I wasn't in the mood, I was annoyed. Yeah, I'm weird on my Japan day, why? I do not know. Zac sat down so I did the same. I stood there awkwardly while we were introduced to our band. I know I'm small and I know I have no hope of growing anymore so what's the point of standing up?

"Okay guys this is Zachary Aero Chandrix Ramos you can call him Zac and his twin sister Marienne Aecy Chandria Ramos and you can call her Mac. Mac will be our new vocalist and Zac will be the lead guitarist. Zac and Mac the person who's holding the guitar is JV, then at the drum is Ram and at the keyboard is Lyndon. I'll leave you, for now, please guys take good care of the twin," Ma'am Ibañez said with a smile as she taught us one by one the men sitting in front, two smiling but one looking sleepy.

"Yes ma'am!" Ram shouted with a lollipop stuck in his mouth, just like Zac who always eats krimstick.

Ma'am Ibañez left so the three of us approached, JV who was smiling from earlier, doesn't he get tired of smiling? Ram with a lollipop and twirling it in his mouth, Lyndon looks sleepy and bored with life.

"Hi guys, welcome to the band!" JV said happily and even shook hands with Zac. I didn't do anything but accept it, maybe I'll be told off.

"It's nice to meet you, welcome Mac and Zac," Ram said smiling, and took another bite of the lollipop. I didn't see any holes in his teeth. It's cool.

"Welcome, hayysss sleepy," Lyndon said and yawned. He ruffled his hair and rested his face on his palm.

"Wahhh thanks for the warm welcome, what's the name of the band?" Zac said happily and clapped his hands like a child who was given a krimstick.

"NID, Nature's In Disguise," JV answered and raised his eyebrows.

"Nature's in disguise?" Zac asked in surprise.

"Yeah, JV who is always cheerful but when he plays the guitar is very serious, Lyndon who is sleepy but when he starts playing the keyboard he seems to be angry at the world, and me who when he starts playing the drums is like a bad boy, it's my passion because he grinned," Ram explained so Zac and I just nodded at his explanation.

"Ohh? Hehehe Mac and I go there hehehe. I'm childish who loves krimstick but when he plays the guitar he doesn't care about me and Mac who is always high blood and looks like a man but when he sings he's a girl. He sings beautifully, too much! I'm proud to be his twin," Zac said so loudly that I couldn't stop the small smile that appeared on my lips. I'm also proud because the twins are talented but sometimes I want to put them in the sack.

The four of them talked and sometimes I also joined. I'm not in the mood. Like Lyndon, I just want to sleep because I'm not in the mood.

"Alright Zac, I'll see you later this afternoon," said Ram opening another lollipop.

"Oh okay Ram," Zac said goodbye and smiled.

They waved at each other and we left. We took a different direction on the way home.

"Hehehehe they're smart Mac," Zac suddenly said so I turned around.

"Oh? What now? Your type?"

"Look! Just you, I'm a man!" He screamed and almost killed me because of what he said.

"Owsss?"

"I'm a man, I'll hit it," he said annoyed.

"Can you do it?"

"I said no hehehe," he answered and slightly scratched the top of his nose.

"Tsk."

"But I feel our group will be famous," he said.

"How could you say that when you just met them?"

"Nothing, I just feel it," he replied with a smile. Zac always feels right. I mean everything he says comes true, cool, right? It's just that he didn't predict when they would break up when his crazy ex. It's crazy.

We continued walking until we got home. Levi is not here yet, maybe he is still at work. Rex did his assignment in the living room. We didn't bother him anymore and we might even get caught in the fire because it's not good to anger Rex and we're sure he'll snap our necks. I have a period today, it's dangerous to meet.
