CHAPTER 5: Spending the Day with the Jerk

"As cliched as it sounds, you make my world go round. You make me laugh and smile when I'm not even in the mood to be happy. You understand my silly quirks and make an honest effort to say the most meaningful and heartfelt things. You are never embarrassed by my madness and silliness. I love you for the way you love me for who I am. Thank you."

"I know." He said confidently.

"We are already late, anyway." He said cooly, as he lookup on the tall wall in front of us.

"That's why we're skipping!" He added smiling...

"WHAT?" I asked in shock.

I couldn't believe how stupid can he be, for dragging me all this way just to make trouble!

To think that this is actually his first day of school, and yet he want to do all this shits again.

My heart drums wildly as his words slowly sink in into my system. I don't feel any nervous inside of me, because all I feel now is the excitement of doing something I usually do with him when we are still kids.

Yes, we do all this shits together before, to escape our moms who loves making us sleep every noon.

I would love to do those things again...

I would love to experience the same excitement I felt the first time I tried climbing a tree, and jump off a huge gate from our home....

"Stop dragging me with your shits, jerk! I am not coming with you!" I yelled at him, as I roll my eyes heavenwards.

I would love to do things with again, and to experience that same excitement I felt before, but there is no way in hell will I ever admit that in his face!

Nah! N. V. E. R.

"Then don't. I am not forcing you anyway! I am quite sure a crybaby such as yourself will only ruin the fun of running away from school." He said which made me feel really annoyed so I decided to hit him on his head, as hard as I can.

"Jerk!" I told him annoyed.

"Whatever bitch!" He yelled in return, before he suddenly puts me down in the bermuda grass, at the shade of a huge tree.

"What the f- are you fucking insane? You are really planning to leave me here?" I asked him in disbelief.

"What? You said you are not coming with me right?" He said with a smirk.

"Yes! But I never told you, to leave me here, ASSHOLE! Why do you bother carrying me all the way here, if you are just going to leave me alone anyway?" I yelled.

"Well, it's not my fault if you're stagey attitude gets on my nerves your Highness! I am leaving you here, if you continue being a bitch!" He said with his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.

"Now what? Are you coming or not?" He asked me, with a poker face plastered in his face.

I was about to yelled again at him, when I saw a guard who are a bit far from our place walks into our direction.

"What are the two of you doing there in class hours? Are you planning to cut-classes?" The guard yelled, as he run towards our direction.

"Now what?" Ace asked with a bored face.

"I-I'm coming with y-you! N-now carry me at y-your b-back!" I commanded, which he immediately oblidge with a huge smirk plastered in his face.

He carry me in a piggyback ride, as he climb the tree effortlessly.

He even give the guard one last look, before he jump off the wall effortlessly, while I am on his back.

This scenes reminds me about the first time we tried tree climbing.

I can still remember that time when I first escape sleeping at noon, when I was still a kid. Ace and I wants to continue playing that time, but Mom said we need to take a nap, for our afternoon sleep.

She love forcing us to sleep, while my big brother are studying...

That time, afternoon sleeping is the worst thing to do, for it feels so much fun to play at that time, instead of sleeping. I always find sleeping boring, and I feel like it was a waste of time, because if we do not sleep at the afternoon, then that would only means that we are going to have lots of time playing around...

So that's the part, when we decided to escape through that huge mango tree located at the back of our yard.

****FLASH BACK****

I was with Didi right now, in our house backyard. We are planning to escape Mom, who loves to make us sleep for my afternoon nap.

"Are you sure about this Tintin? Tita will be furious if she finds out about this plan of yours." Didi said, who seems to not like the idea of is escaping through the hige mango tree on our yard.

He doesn't seem to like the idea of getting my mom furious, but he is still with me and would still help me climb the tree for the first time.

"Yes! I am sure with this Didi! Don't you want to play with me some more?" I asked him, as I looked into his eyes with my pouted lips and puffed cheeks.

"I do want to play with you too! But Tita will get mad for sure, if she catch us climbing a tree." He said terrified with the possibility.

"She will get mad if she catch us! She won't, if she dont!" I told him with a cute smile plastered in my face.

I feel so excited right now for some reason, because this would be the first time I will try to climb a tree.

"Here! I am giving this super extra sweet and delicious candy if you help me climb that tree!" I fish my lollipop inside my jumper's pocket and hand it to him, with a smile before I pointed on the huge tree we are about to climb.

Didi took the lollipop in my hand, and look at me with a scared face, so I put my hands on top of his shoulder to give cheer him up, I knew we can do this mission properly. Because my cute instinct told me so.

"We can do this Didi, trust me! My instinct is telling me, we can climb that tree and escape my Mom from making us sleep this afternoon!" I reassure him, with a smile.

Didi nods his head, and helps me climb the tree even though his face shouts disapproval with the idea of escaping mom.

I used Didi's shoulder as a leap, so that I could step on the near branch, before I grabbed his hands to leap him up too...

Once we reach the top of the wall, Didi jump off the branch tree, and put up his hands motioning me, that he is going to catch me.

I trust Didi, that he is going to catch me no matter what, so I jump to his direction and fell with him on the ground.

Didi bump his head because of that sudden fall, while I scratch my knees and my hands, which happened to be the same time Tita Agnes came to visit my mom.

****FLASHBACK ENDS****

Because of that, Ace and I got scolded by mom and Tita Agnes which leaves us to get grounded for the whole week.

I smiled as the memories flahes in my head. That is one of my fun days with Ace, which will never happen now that I hate him so much...

As soon as Ace legs hit the ground, he walks through the road, and look for a taxi to ride.

"Let's go on a date for now, Tintin" he said smirking before he winks at me, as he flashes his killer smile.
