Chapter 7: Behind his silly actions

2134 Words
Nick I had a great time learning a lot about EXO. I think that I am quite a fan now. I am here in the garden now listening to birds chirping while looking at the flowers. It is getting darker now. I think I have been here for two hours already. I got my phone out and tried to listen to EXO’s soft music compilation. Luckily I have my pen with me and my notebook. This notebook has been with me for so long. I first got this, when I was 5 years old. This was my birthday gift from my dad. I am quite an artist but not that good enough though. I just draw simple drawings. In this notebook you can often see drawings like flowers and eyes. I don’t know why I am so fond of drawing flowers and eyes though. “Nice!” Michael said. “You startled me.” I said as I faced him. He was at my back leaning next to my ears when he said that word. “Sorry.” He replied and went straight in front of me. “Why are you here?” I asked. Maybe because he has something to say again. “I just want to be with you.” He answered. “Michael we live in the same house, we sleep together and you’re still not bored of me?” I asked one more time. He did not reply immediately to my question. Instead he sat on the chair first, making himself comfortable. He stared at my eyes and leaned a little in front of me where there was only 3 inches of space left between us. To be honest when Michael said that he just wanted to be with me it made my heart beat stop. I asked another question to see if he is not kidding when he said that. “I will never. That’s why I got you here. You and I are never gonna be apart from each other.” He explained. I felt my whole body warming up as soon as he said that while looking into my eyes. “Whatever!” I replied back. I don’t know what to say. I knew that we stared at each other for a minute already, luckily I managed to reply to him and got out of that stare. “Yieee we stared at each other for a long time HAHAHA.” He said. I turned to look at him and pushed him on his chair. “Ouch! What is wrong with you?” Michael asked. He nearly fell into his seat. “I don’t know, I just feel like I wanted to push you because you are so freaking annoying, I think…” I answered his question sarcastically. “Lads! Your Mom and Dad want to talk to both of you.” Janice shouted. Janice is currently in front of this garden’s door. “We’re coming!” Michael shouted back. “‘Okay, I will go in first then.” Janice replied. I fixed my things and the chairs into their original positions. “Did you lock the door here?” I asked Michael. It kept on bugging me why Janice was shouting and did not go inside instead. Besides, I remember not locking the door here so if someone calls me they can just come right at me. Michael also just got in here so maybe he locked that is why I asked him a question. “Yeah.” He answered shortly. “Why did you lock it?” I asked. Michael isn't making sense. I mean why would he lock the door here in the garden? “Nahhh I just wanted to hear Janice shout.” He said. “I can’t believe that you are an outstanding person.” I said and walked straight to get out in the garden. Michael likes doing silly things and he thinks it is fun but in some cases it is not good already. Imagine he locked the door because he just wanted to hear Janice shout. “Michael, you should grow up, stop doing silly things. This August you will turn 11 years old already.” I said while walking. “I know that’s why I do it everyday now because when I grow up I can’t do these things now.” He answered. “Ughhh you are so annoying.” I replied. Michael After Nick and I talked about EXO, my stomach acted so I needed to go to the bathroom and excused myself. I went to the toilet and had a hard time there. I don’t know why my stomach acted, I did not even eat any unusual food today. “Ughh! This is so painful.” I said inside the toilet while pooping so hard. While having my time inside the toilet I remembered Nick liking EXO too. I really like it when people like what I like especially Nick liking EXO too. I just can’t wait to share our thoughts about EXO’s songs in the near future. “Finally! I am finished.” I said as soon as I felt like there was nothing left inside my butt. I cleaned my hands and everything and went outside. “Ehh?” I said when I saw that Michael is no longer in the living room. “Michael, what is it?” Janice asked. “How long have I been inside the toilet?” I asked Janice. “I think you’ve been inside the toilet for at least 7 minutes.” Janice answered my question. “Really? That long?!” I asked in shock. I can’t believe I was inside the toilet that long. Oh my poor self, I have been through a lot. “Yes Michael. By the way, I need to prepare your dinner. I will excuse myself first.” Janice said. “Okay.” I replied and went upstairs. I went upstairs to see if Nick was in his room. *Knock *Knock *Knock “Hello Nick!” I knocked and shouted. Nobody’s opening the door for me. “I will open the door then.” I said as if Nick was listening to me inside the room. When I opened the door nobody was inside. I roamed his room but there was no sign of Nick. “In the garden.” I said as I remembered that Nick liked being in the garden. I hurried downstairs to go to the garden. “Michael, don't run, you might slip.” I heard Janice shouting. I ran and finally got in the garden. I saw Nick in the distance. “What is he doing here?” I said to myself. At first I studied his actions. I just looked at him in the distance. He grabbed his phone and listened to EXO songs. “Listening again?” I told myself. He must really like EXO now. “Cute.” I said. While listening to EXO he took his notebook and pen out. I wondered what he was doing so I decided to sneak out but before that I secured to lock the door so that no one would interrupt my plan. I started to sneak inside like a pro ninja. I am now at his back, I think he doesn’t even know my presence. I stared closely at what he was doing until I was so close to him. I saw him drawing a flower, but the flower seems unusual and unique and looks so beautifully attractive. I don’t know how to exactly describe it with words but it is not the usual flower that you can just see anywhere. The flower that he is drawing is a hibiscus flower but with thorns like roses have. I don't know why he is drawing such a strange flower. Out of nowhere I burst a word which startled Nick. Ughh! I forgot I was in ninja mode. I really like to annoy Nick because he gets mad. Is it okay? I think it is though. I think Nick is the cutest whenever he is mad at me. I really want to see how much Nick can take my annoyance, so I came up with a plan to keep my face close to him to better see how he will react. He got mad again of course! Victory to my plan. I tried one more thing, I planned to stare at him while saying a flattery phrase right in front of him. He also stared at me closely after that he looked away. So I annoyed him even more by teasing him that we stared at each other. This is the first time I've seen Nick so red. HAHAHA I really want to pinch his nose but before I can do he pushed me on my chair that I almost fell. I acted as if I was hurt even though I wasn’t to see if he would feel any guilt but sadly he didn’t. I was about to do another annoying thing to him but Janice broke my plan. “Ughh Janice of all the time.” I mumbled to myself. Janice was shouting in front of the door because she can’t get in. This scene is so funny, we are all shouting just to hear each other. Janice said that we are being called by Mom and Dad so I think it is something important that we really need to go there immediately. Nick and I fixed the chairs first before going. We were about to leave the garden when Nick asked me if I locked the door, in order to piss him I said yes. So he asked me why, then I answered that I just wanted to hear Janice shout. My plan worked because once again Nick is mad with me. “Ahhh I really want to keep him.” I said to myself. When I first met Nick at the park he was hugging his knees on the ground as if he was crying. Actually, I was with Janice that time and we were in the car and that park was supposedly just a passing by to the restaurant I wanted to eat at. The car had some problems so we needed to stop for some time. While we were waiting, I had my eyes on the surroundings and Nick caught my attention. Because of that, I asked Janice to wait for me and went to Nick, well back then I still didn’t know his name. When I got closer to him, I heard his sobbings. I can feel the pain he had back then. I wanted to hug him but I can’t because I just don’t know how to do it. I stood there in front of him without him knowing my presence. For quite some time I listened to his sobbing until I finally couldn't take it so I decided to tap his head. After I tapped his head, he looked at me with so much grief. That time I just know that he is in total bad shape. We talked about things until he was able to forget his grief but of course I know that it was just for the meantime. Because of that day, I promised myself to take care of him so I used to visit him every day in the park where we first met. We would play, talk about things and many more. Eventually, Nick and I became closer to each other as time passed by but Mom and Dad found out that I go to the park every day without them knowing. I tried to hide it because I know that they will not let me interact with Nick. I don’t know why but I just know. Mom and Dad didn’t like the idea of me going to the park everyday but I fought back as if for the first time I knew what I wanted. I begged them to adopt Nick and became Nick’s foster parents but they did not like the thought of it. That time I cried a lot for days until Mom and Dad came to talk to me and finally agreed to adopt Nick. I felt like that was the happiest time of my life. When Nick first came to my household I felt like it was a dream come true. I decided to change my personality for Nick so that he will not feel awkward living with me and my family. I don’t care if Nick thinks I am annoying, I just want him to be comfortable living in this household. So far, Nick has been really open with us, I think my plan worked out. That is what I only want for now, this is enough for me.
