DAYS LIKE THESE
Chapter 2:I Went To Talk With Mother Nature
It was a very fine morning when…
RING………BAM!
Maikki hits the alarm clock very hard then looks at her clock. "Darn! Nana! Why didn't you wake me?" she asked her maid. "Gomen nasai…you look so exhausted yesterday that I thought it is best for you to stay in bed" the maid explained. "Now I only got 30 minutes to fix myself" Maikki said as she runs quickly to the bath room. "Are going to take you breakfast in your room or in the dinning room?" the maid asked the hurrying girl. "Just make me a sandwich so I can eat it on the way" the girl answered back.
Meanwhile…
"Hey booger brain, wake up time for school" Phil heard a girl's voice then was hit by a soft pillow. "It's still early…" he mumbled lazily. "No it's 7:30 in the morning and we got a bus to catch" Lil said while pulling his brother of the bed. "Okay! Okay!" Phil said as he gets up and went in the bathroom. "Darn it" he shouts.
20 minutes later…
"Maikki! I told you that the driver will drive you to school" the father recalled it to his daughter who quickly runs out of the house after she kissed her father. "Why can't he understand that I want to leave a simple life here in America" she said with a sandwich hanging on her mouth. "Darn! The bus is there already" said while running towards the stop. "Phil, catch up!" she heard Lil who was looking outside the window waving at someone behind her. As she looks back she saw brown haired boy running towards her.
"It's him!" she said while running. Phil was too fast that he was able to catch up with her. "I'll take that you slow poke" he suddenly grabs Maikki's bag and runs toward the bus. "What the…? Hey! Give me back my bag" Maikki shouts back while running after Phil.
Meanwhile, in the bus…
"Hey girls look isn't it sweet of Phil to offer that girl to carry her bag?" a girl who was in front of Kimmi said while looking outside. All the girls started to swoon all over "Aww…" they all said in chorus. "I don't know but it seems more like grabbing" Chuckie who is beside Kimmi suddenly butts in. Kimmi started to look outside and saw the two running towards the bus with two bags on Phil's both arms. Kimmi started to glare at the girl behind Phil.
Phil quickly went in the bus while the bus automatically moves when Maikki was about to get there. "Darn it!" she said as she went after the bus. "Ma'am you kinda miss someone" Phil said to the driver then she quickly pull over the bus and automatically opens its door. Phil went out to see Maikki stopped to catch up her breath. "Hey slowpoke, are you coming in or not?" Phil asked as he waves his hand. Maikki gave a big sigh and glared at Phil then walked towards the bus. "Give me that" she said as she grabs her bag in Phil's hand then went in the bus.
Phil runs towards a vacant chair behind Tommy and Lil. There were only three vacant seats left the one beside a fat guy, the one beside a nerd looking girl and the one beside Phil. Maikki went first to the first vacant sit the one with the fat guy on in. "Can I seat here?" she asked the kid then she was surprise to see the kid playing with his booger. "I think so" the kid answered as he ticks off the booger. "Hehe…maybe not" she gave a disgusted expression and left. Next she went to the seat of the nerd girl. "Can I seat here?" she asked. "Sniff…of course you can! You can see that there is 12 inches space or in short 1 feet space in the…." The nerd girl with a cold started answering. "Hehe…sorry I change my mind" she gave a cute expression then went to Phil's seat. She frowns and quickly sat beside Phil.
Phil who was listening on his mp3 player got surprised then looks at the girl who was sitting beside him. "Don't you even ask?" he asked while glaring daggers at Maikki. "I don't need too, I already know your not going to let me" she glared back. "Maikki, how are you?" Tommy asked. "Fine…I think" she said as she looks back at Phil. "Nice scene you two have awhile ago" Tommy jokes. "Yeah…nice one Tom," Phil mutters then goofs off.
After the bus incident
Phil went to his bench and laid there while listening to his mp3 player. "Will you move" someone started to block his view. He stood up and saw Maikki standing beside him. "Are you following me?" he asked. "No, we just happen to go in the same place" she answered back. "There are so many benches here to choose. Why do you happen to choose this one?" he angrily asked. "This is the only bench who happens to have a shade" she smartly answered. Phil moves with hesitation. "What are you sketching now?" he asked after seeing a sketching on her hand. "The school…" she answered. "What are you listening?" she asked after looking at Phil's mp3 player. "Some music I made" he proudly answered. "I bet your music stinks" she talks back. Phil started to glare at her. "I bet your sketches stink too" he argued back the pushed Maikki out of the bench. They started glaring at each other when the bell finally rang.
The two quickly headed for their classroom. While running Phil accidentally pushes the trash can making Maikki fall on the ground. After seeing what happened to Maikki he didn't notice the slippery floor sign so he slips down with his butt hitting the floor. Maikki stood up and catch up with Phil then stick her tongue out then continued to run. Phil went up and continued to catch up with her. Thinking that awhile ago was no accident she quickly saw a strolling cart of books was on the way. She quickly blocks Phil's way then left. "Darn that girl" he said then remembered a short cut. They both went to class on time.
"Maikki, you're a minute late. What happen?" Tommy curiously asked to girl who was catching her breath. "I went to talk with Mother Nature" she smiles and went to her seat. Then Phil went in the classroom next. "Phil, why are you a minute late?" Kimmi asked with concern. "I went to talk with Mother Nature" he mumbles.
Break time…
"Out of the way, kid upside down walking thru" Dil said while walking upside down. "Tommy, you have got to talk with your brother. His getting weirder and weirder everyday" Lil whispered. The gang was lining up in the cafeteria to get their lunch.
"Does your brother get dizzy after blood takes over his head" Chuckie asked with concern. "I think so" Tommy shrugs. "Here Maikki try these bake mac and flan they taste good" he puts on her tray. "Thanks" she blushes then reaches for a box of milk.
As they walk towards their sit Maikki notices the gooey thing on Phil's tray. "What on earth is that?" Maikki disgustingly asked. "It's called Spinach Jelly, try it" Phil said as he gave the cup up jelly to Maikki. "And that?" she points to some kind of disgusting soup. "Um this, It's called creamy chicken organ soup" Phil said as he tasted his soup. "Yum" said then looks at Maikki and smiled sly. "That is so disgusting, I think I'm gonna throw up" she started to get green. "My bro here always loves to try something new" Lil said as he pats his little brother. "But he doesn't know that it was just the junks that our school's chef makes" Lil whispered to Maikki. They both started to giggle.
After eating…
They all went up and left their tray on a cart. "Phil I want to talk to you" Kimmi grabs Phil's arm and pulled him closer to her. "Meet me after classes you know where ok?" Kimmi whispered and squeezed his arm then left. They didn't notice was Maikki behind them looking at them curiously and a bit jealous. "Hey Maikki, you seemed as red as a burning coal. What seem to be the matter?" Lil asked who was beside her. "Oh nothing…nothing at all" she lied. Then they went to their class, Maikki keeps on turning her head at Phil then Kimmi. Kimmi looks like a problematic girl while Phil has an expressionless face. "I wonder what's between this two?" she asked herself.
After classes
"This is just not like me…" Maikki said as she follows Phil secretly. 'What on earth am I doing? Duh! These guys have their own private life and here I am trying to know what' she thought. Then she saw Phil went up on a stair case leading to the roof top. "The roof top?" she whispered herself. After Phil went in she slowly goes up and every step she takes her heart started pounding.
Dug

Until, she reaches the top…
"Phil" Maikki heard a girl talking. "I just want to tell you…I'm a bit…jealous of that Japanese-Korean girl you're playing with" the girl said seriously. "How many times did I remind you of our break up?" Phil said. "Sorry Phil but I really can't understand myself sometimes" the girl cried. "Well you too" Phil walks towards the door. 'Oh my…gosh! What to do?' her head suddenly screamed. "Phil" she saw the girl who was Kimmi hugging Phil. Maikki started to blush then runs down stairs not noticing the final 2 steps, she fell. "What's that?" Phil said after hearing someone fell from the stairway. He opens the door and left Kimmi all alone.
"You?" Phil glared at the girl who was lying on the tiles. "Hehe…" she gives a cute sorry expression. Phil quickly went down then grabs her hand and walks off. "Ow…ouch" Maikki cried in pain. "Will you stop making that awful noise" Phil glared back to the girl he is pulling. "I won't if my ankle is not aching" she cried in pain. He stops then looks at her ankle red then ticks it "Ouch" she shouts. "That's for butting in" he said then without warning he carried her to the clinic. "Um…this is so embarrassing" she whispered, blushing after seeing everyone staring at them.
"What's your girlfriend's case?" the nurse said while chewing a bubble gum. "She is not my girlfriend" "He is not my boyfriend" they both said in chorus. "That's what they all say" the nurse mutters the saw the girls red ankle. "You can put her down now" the nurse said suspiciously. Phil brought Maikki down then went next to the nurse. "So?" Phil asked the nurse who is checking Maikki. "Just a minor sprain by tomorrow it will be gone. Just down forget to put ice on your girlfriends knee here you know that you're an athlete" the nurse answered. "Okie doki…and for the last time she is not my girlfriend" he repeated.
Phil carried Maikki to the clinic's bed then took at pack of ice in the freezer and puts it on Maikki's ankle. "Ouch" she shouts. "Boy I love torturing you" Phil said liking the sound of pain. "Thanks for the support" Maikki glared. "Phil…about awhile ago…I'm so sorry…I really don't know what came to me awhile ago. Now here you are helping me" Maikki said with awe. "Yeah I know…that is why you should give me a favor" Phil said. "I'll do any favor you want" Maikki said. Phil gave an evil smirk "Meet me this Saturday at 10:00 am at the school's bench…I'll wait for your there" Phil said before he leaves. Maikki turn white. "Miss Yu your driver is going to fetch now" the nurse reminds. 'Great! Here comes another humiliation' Maikki thought then pats her forehead.
"Wow, whose car is that?" Angelica saw a black Jaguar parked in front of the school. Teens started gathering around it, wondering who owns the car. "Excuse me, may I ask where the clinic is?" the driver asked Susie. "I'll bring you there" Angelica pushed Susie. "Hey! He asked me first" Susie pushed her back. Both started arguing. "I think I'll look for it myself" the driver said with a big sweat drop on his head.
"You must be Miss Yu's driver. Here's Miss Yu" a nurse was standing beside the doorway said. Behind the nurse was Maikki with bandages on her foot. "That is so awfully kind of you" the driver said with hearts on top of his head. The nurse nodded with her eyes still stuck on the driver's eyes and with hearts floating on top of her head too. "Come on let's go before you make a scene here" Maikki commands. The driver supported Maikki to the car but his eyes are still stuck at the nurse. "Bye Maikki" Angelica waved. "Bye um…Ange…lica?" Maikki waved back not sure if that is really the girl's name. "You see guys I know her and she knows me" Angelica said acting like she's Maikki's friends, Susie who was beside her starts to glare at her.
"Isn't she pretty?" the driver asked. "Yeah, whatever" she answered back. "Do shita no desu ka?(n/a: what happened to you?)" the driver asked. "I fell down the stairs…" Maikki blushed. "Did your prince save you?" the driver jokes. Then the car passed to Phil who was walking towards the school bus. "No! And his not my prince!" she fumes. The driver, not knowing what just happen, got surprised at the girls reaction.
Meanwhile…
"Ouch" Phil shouts. "What's the matter Phil?" Tommy asked. "I bit my tongue" Phil answered. "Someone must have remembered you" Lil said. "How will I know who?" he asked his sister. "I will give you a number then count in which alphabet letter will it stop" Lil explained. "Okay give me a number" Phil said. "Let me see…13" Lil said. "I think that is M" Phil said. "Isn't M for Maikki?" Dil, who suddenly appeared behind them, asked. "That's stupid! I can't believe your old enough to believe in such thing" Phil grumpily said. "It's just a belief you know!" Lil said as she rolls her eyes.
"Wasurenaide, Watashi wa muko ni ikimasu(n/a: Don't forget, I will be there)" Maikki mutters while looking at her sprain ankle. "Did you say something?" the driver asked. "Nani? Oh! Iie(n/a: what? Oh! Nothing)" Maikki answered then looks outside.
"She will come…I know she will" Phil mutters while looking outside the window. Beside him was Kimmi, who over heard what he just muttered. 'Who is that she?' Kimmi thought looking jealous. Phil puts on his earphones and opens his mp3.
