Okay, thanks to Vash ( ) for your review I really appreciate it. So, let me begin….
The next morning, Rocky woke up with the sound of people shouting and saying Hak! Hyak! Yak! He thought he woke up late. But then, it hit him. He was grounded.He takes a quick shower and went down to have breakfast. Breakfast in Grampa house was always toast. He was lucky he brought some books so that he could study if he is free. He took out the books and started to study from the first page of the book to the last page. He actually studies all the books which are ten in total for three times until he's tired of it. A knock on the door wakes him up from daydreaming.
Rocky: Come in! (pretending to study)
J: Hey Rocky! Are you busy? I thought I wanna check on you for a while.
Rocky: Oh J! No, I'm not busy. (turn around to look at her)
-Skirts! But- I…. wait! But-
J: The one at the airport wasn't me. That was a disguise.(sitting on his bed)
Rocky: But why are you dress like that when you actually look -good - wearing this? (blush a little after saying good)
J: Thank You! It's just that. I love to be in disguise outside.
Rocky: You're weird. (sitting beside her on the bed)
J: Yeah. I guess I am (laugh)
Rocky: You look sweet when you laugh.
J: Sorry? I didn't catch that? (pretending not to hear him)
Rocky: Nothing! Nothing!
J: Ok then….. Hey, can I ask you a question, do you mind?
Rocky: No I don't mind, sure. Go on.
J: It wasn't you who made that prank right? It was your brothers.
Rocky bit his bottom lips. He didn't know how to answer that so he gives a small nod that hardly anyone could see. To his surprise, she saw it,
J: That's sweet of you Rocky, standing up for your brothers like that. But it's a pity you need to pay the price.
Rocky: It does upset me a little but I rather get grounded than them.
J: You're a very good brother you know that?
Rocky: Thanks Jessica.
J kisses him on his cheek and walk out of the door smiling. He touches his cheek and grin. He went down to the kitchen grab a glass of water and sit down and daydream again. It wasn't like him, always daydreaming and all. He didn't even know why he ended up like this?
Ash: Yo! Where's Grampa?
Rocky: I dunno! I just got down. Since when did you call him Grampa?
Ash: Since our Grampa is your grampa best friend? Since….he told us too? You just got down? From yesterday? And you just got down as in, today? (bewildered)
Rocky: Yeah! And what's wrong with that?
Ash: What the hell did you do up there all alone?
Rocky: Ash, you better be careful with your words or your sister will nag at you. I actually did some reflection.
Ash: She won't know if you didn't tell her! But Kim said it wasn't your fault. I think so too! (as she walk out)
Grampa: Hey Rocky!
Rocky: Hey grampa!
Colt: Grampa, me and Tum Tum, need to talk to you for a minute. Would you mind sparing us a minute? (Rocky look up immediately)
Grampa: What is it? (he gave a look as if he know what they wanted to tell him)
Tum Tum: Well……we-we did something wrong. (keeping his sweets)
Rocky: Grampa, they must be crazy, Tum Tum have been eating sweets to much, Colt's been copying the show he had watched just now so they must be acting weird now. (getting the hint of what his brother might want to say and block them from saying it)
Grampa: Rocky, move away.
Tum Tum: Move it Rock!
Colt: You actually sacrifice yourself for us! We feel guilty…..
Rocky: I rather get grounded than you guys!
Tum Tum: And let yourself suffer! No way!
Colt: Grampa, It was us who did all the pranks. Rocky didn't know about it. When we planned this, Rocky wasn't aware about it. When we were setting up the prank that we had planned, he was reading a book in the room. He's innocent. ( biting his bottom lip)
Grampa: I knew it was you too.
Tum Tum: You knew?
Grampa: Yea!
Tum Tum: But why didn't you punish us?
Grampa: Being a ninja it's not only about training, it's about improving yourself. (smile)
Rocky: Grampa, I'm going out now, ok?
Grampa: Ok, be home before 1 in the morning alright?
Rocky: Yes Grampa.
Rocky quickly change to his green shirt, jeans and put on his favorite cap and sneakers. He then grabs his bike a ride away. Basically, he didn't know where his heading to. So, he just rides his bike to where his legs, hands and heart bring him to. Before he knew it, something made him stop at the beach. He lean his bike to the tree and sit on the sand alone watching people.
Rocky: Why am I feeling so sad? I'm ungrounded. I am supposed to feel happy. (take out his cap from his head and ran through his hair with his fingers)
The wind made him feel relax. Then, he felt as if he heard someone said something. It said: You need a break from all the books, go for a vacation. He turns around to see if there's anybody behind him. But, there's no one, people are busy with their own stuff.
Rocky: Maybe, I should go for a vacation. (smile)
The sky is getting darker, and Rocky could see the moon, and stars. He sat there for the whole evening not wanting to leave the calm place. At around 12 midnight, he decided to go back to Grampa's house. He walk slowly while pushing his bike and thinking about things that had happened to him for the pass few years. When he walks in, he was startled to see J sleeping at the couch at the living room with the TV on. He walks to the living room, switch off the TV and turn around heading up to his room quietly.
J: Rocky? (woke up)
Rocky: I'm sorry; I didn't mean to wake you up.
J: That's okay, I'm a light sleeper. I could even wake up when I hear the sound of the pin drop. (tying her hair)
Rocky: Why are you down here anyway?
So, how is it? Wait. I can't stop asking this question am I? Sorry, didn't mean too. I just wanna know how I could make this story to suit everyone's taste. That's all. Thank You and PEACE!
