Chapter 5

I checked the clock. Its 6:59. I woke up early, though its Saturday. Speaking of Saturday. Its Saturday today! At least I won't see his face. I suddenly felt hungry. I haven't eaten dinner last night, I was too exhausted. Why? That idiot just made me do this and do that, the whole day. No. The WHOLE WEEK!

And so, I went out and look for food in the kitchen. I was walking in the staircase when I noticed my li'l brother with someone in the living room. They're playing chess. I cannot see the face of the man with my brother because I was standing behind him. But I can tell that it's not my dad. Im sure of that. This is the first time that Mikee brought a visitor in our house. Odd.

"Why so early brother?" I asked, making my voice a little loud. "and whom are you with?'' I continued to ask.

The man turned around and faced me.

"Hello" he said. He was smiling! Guess who? Kei Takishima.

"What are you…d-doing here?"

He laughed. "Have you tried looking yourself in the mirror?"
"What?" That's when I noticed that I forgot to fix myself. My hair is a mess. I am wearing pajamas. What the heck! I immediately got back to my room. That was embarrassing! I fixed myself. Then I opened the door.

"Now what are you doing here?" Raising my one eyebrow.

"I thought you were excited that you forgo—''

"What are you doing here?" I repeated.

"Im here to teach you how to cook".

I got excited. "Great! I'll tell you the way to the kitchen". I smiled. Don't know why? It was like my life was full of hope again.

"Mood swings?"

"Shut up!" I was still smiling.

-"What's this?" He looked shock.

"Kitchen". I simply answered.

"Well it doesn't look like it is. What with the wall covered with metal?"

"Stop asking questions. Let's start". I was kinda irritated. I know, the kitchen really do look weird. It was covered with metal to prevent me from destroying the whole house in case I messed up. My parents still care for me..or the house.

"Let's start with the basics". He said. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.

We're making a pan cake. I did the mixing. He scratched his head. "Its not like that..how many times am I gonna tell you.." He went to my back and held my right hand to GUIDE me. "..do it slowly if you don't know how to do it fast and I said in circular motion..you're spilling!" he continued lecturing me.

"Yeah, I got it, I got it. Now, move a li'l farther away from me. Im claustrophobic." I said. I was feeling uneasy.

He followed. After a few seconds..

"Who's Toby?"

"My…"

"Boyfriend?"

I frowned.

"So, he really is your boyfriend!"

I rolled my eyes. I gave him an its-none-of-your-business-look.

"Seriously?"

"Toby!" I said, as I looked behind me. I rushed towards him.

"A rat?"

"yeah. MY BOYFRIEND." I gave him a sarcastic smile.

He laughed.

"Laugh at yourself. Paranoid."

"I thought Toby is a monkey." He continued laughing.

".." I started stabbing the bowl with the spoon.

"Hey, stop that it will.."

CRACK

The bowl was divided into two.
