Did I got discovered?

" James, come down to eat, father has been waiting for you. "

Elizabeth shouted while kept thinking about why her brother always locked up in his room for last two days straight. Ever since his discharge two days ago, he always acting strange. Just came down to eat and then back to his room, locked himself up. Elizabeth was really curious on what he was doing in there but knowing his brother's temper she dare not to interrupt him. And also last night at dinner, suddenly out of nowhere he said he wanted to eat some Curry. Yes, Curry, that Indian food. Nobody noticed his behaviour, but as the eldest of the three in her family, she knew exactly in and out of his two brothers and never once she watch James liked to eat an ethnic food. Yeah, that's really weird. But, that wasn't what make her worry, she was worried because in this last two days James always seems to be distracted and sometimes to be in a daze, and then suddenly became over-hyped and kept talking all the time. James maybe an active person but this time Elizabeth just felt unusual about him. Father and mother didn't notice it or maybe mother noticed it but chose to be silence but Elizabeth can really feel subtle changes his brother and even have a faint feeling the whole person is not her brother anymore.

" God, what was I think of? How can I think something like this? "

Aware of her extreme disposition, suddenly she felt guilty and then started to tap her own cheeks.

" Yeah, that's right, he is my brother and he will always will be. "

Speaking of him... why is he has not coming down yet.

" JAMES... "

Then there's an answer from upstairs

" Okay, Coming down, coming down, Just a sec, I'm near finish. "

Hearing his children, Rupert who still waiting in the dining room finally asked.

" Liz, just what is your brother doing in there? always secretive like he is hiding something. "

On her father's casual remark, Elizabeth immediately stunned.

" Dad, you notice it too? "

" Notice what? "

" No, nevermind dad. "

" Well, you just go upstairs and see what your brother's doing "

Hearing his father's order Elizabeth showed a somehow reluctant look. It's not that she didn't want to but his brother will be really histerical if somebody suddenly go into his room. Notice this, her mother Anna interfere.

" Rupert, you know James, he really doesn't like people go into his room. So let's just wait a little. "

" Well, okay dear. "

Meanwhile in his room, James still make a one last review of his script.

THE SCRIPT :

PETER McALLISTER:

" Kevin!!! "

" You spent $967 on room service?!!! "

THE END

" Yeahhh, finally complete. I can't believe I finish this whole stories in just two days. This is tiring, but it is worth it. "

Looking at the two scripts in both of his hand, James smile satisfactorily. He actually spent two days straight finish this two classics.

" Ok, Home Alone 1, Home Alone 2, finish. Time to eat. "

James started to arrange everything then he went out of his room.

" Pitter, Patter... "

Hearing the sound coming from the upstairs, Anna muttered while smiling.

" Here he comes. "

Seeing his son coming, Anna said.

" Come and sit, son, Let's eat. "

" Ok mom, and sorry everyone for making you guys wait for me. "

" It's fine. Everyone let's eat "

Anna actually also very curious about his son's activities and she also noticed his change. She chose silence not because she didn't care but she need appropriate time to ask him. She decided to make a family discussion this time and ask him after after this lunch.

" Well, I just asked him after this. "

During the lunch Anna secretly keep looking at James and sometimes she saw James bow his head down and gave a little laugh out of nowhere and then sometimes frown like he is thinking about something. Because it's rude to talk while eating, Anna has to be patient. And the finally.

" James, do you have any problem recently, Do you feel unwell again?, I discovered that you are recently very...different? "

On a break after lunch Anna could not resist anymore and finally asked. Hearing Anna's question Rupert, Elizabeth, and Lachland reflexively turned their heads to James. Regarding this child of her, Anna really care too much, maybe because he's the last one. She always want to spoil him. And that's why this recent changes makes her worry.

"What difference, mom?"

James suddenly became anxious and secretly trying to wipe the cold sweat in the back of his hand.

" Shit, did I really got discovered? what can I explain to them, Time travel or schizophrenia, damn I'm dead. "

Look at the anxious face of his son, Anna then said with a smile:

"Look, again It's all written on your face right now. we're you scared that we were trying to discover your little secret? "

" Wha..wha.. what do you mean mom? what secret? " James didn't realize he suddenly stuttered.

" Didn't you realize you always secretive these days like you're hiding something from us. "

" Sigh... mom you're really scare me. I thought you're talking about something else, it turned out just about this matter. "

" what, were there something else you've tried to hiding from us? Were you started to drink anything bad again behind our back? "

" Of course not mom, I wouldn't dare. Besides I already make a promise to you before. "

" Then please try to explain yourself now, you know son, we always worry about you. Me, your father, and your brother and your sister can feel there's something wrong about you these days. Can you please tell us. Don't try to hold everything by yourself. "

" Yes son, tell your father what happen to you"

" Yes, James if there's anything I can try to help you "

" Brother, you really make me scare these days. "

Feel the care of his family, James felt touched again and the he try to explain.

" Mom, dad, brother, sister, It was all because I finally found my real goal this time. You guys know when someone found their goal, the whole person will become very engrossed in their own world and always think how to achieve that "

Hearing his son talking, Rupert reflexively muttered.

" But, you're just a kid. What goal can it be? "

" I know dad, but can't a kid have his own goal? and by the way I'm soon 14 this year, I can no longer be call a kid anymore. I am a teenager "

Hearing her son's answer, Anna butted in.

" Ok Rupert shussh... Don't bother my son... James you continue..." Hearing his wife's word Rupert pouted.

" Well than Mr. teenager, would you mind tell your mother and father just what was that goal of yours. "

"Certainly," James replied: "Dad, mom, I have decided that I must be a movie director. I happen just finished writing my own first script in these past two days. "

"Become ...Director?"

" Finished... a script? "

Rupert and Anna is somewhat dumbfouned, their subconsciousness wants to open the mouth and retorted. But no words come out. Then come the silence. What was their son talking. They think they hear something wrong.

Feel the awkward silence, Elizabeth asked.

" That, James... you said you already finished your script, right? Can I take a look? "

Lachland also said.

" yeah James, can I also take a look, I'm really curious what stupid story have you written. "

" Ok, wait a minute, I'm going to take it. "

Hearing their children's conversation finally Rupert and Anna came out of their daze. Rupert than reminded all of them.

" Ok, everyone no matter how bad the script will be, You will not say anything bad about it. James will be very saf if you do that. Especially you Lachland. "

Hearing his father specially mentioning him, Lachland the nodded.

" Ok, guys I just make 4 copies of this at father's study room. Please read it if there's something wrong, please don't mind tell me. "

James then give his Home Alone 1 scripts to each one of them. James only let them read the first one because the sequel just has the same idea with different setting. So, he thought there is no need for them to read it.

20 minutes later. While watching his family's expression trying so hard to suppress their laugh, his sister Elizabeth finally can't hold on anymore.

" This kid is crazy... Hahaha, oh my oh my, why is this kid so fierce... hahaha... oh my stomach... hahaha"

Then like a contagious wave, the whole family broken into laughter, Rupert shake his head and muttered how the society will ruin if just one family have one type of this kid, Anna believe this character Kevin must be the manifestation of James own un-chanelled rebelliousness, and as for Lachland he imagine how cool it must be if he can be like Kevin. As for James, he just happy that this story can bring laughter to his family, and it's still just a story from the script if he can make it into movie, James believe he can bring laughter to many people.

" Okay, guys I want to hear your opinion, do you guys think I can realize my goal now? "

Hearing James question, Lachland and Elizabeth nodded. Rupert and Anna look at each other, and the nodded like they already have a tacit understanding.

Rupert then said.

" James, go to my study room first, your mom and me want talk to you. "

" Okay, mom, dad. "
