By the time I have gotten back home,I still haven't let off much steam. Even as I was chopping the ingredients for dinner,my mind was still on it and the sound of the chopping was getting louder and harder. By the time I finish chopping,the board splitted into two.
Oh,great! I gotta get a new board tomorrow. Seriously I didn't know I was that strong and I really need to vent my anger at something else. At that moment,my father came back from work.
"I am home!" as he announced his arrival to me.
When he entered the kitchen,he was stunned to see the board that I chopped into halves.
"Errm,I shouldn't have let a 9 year old chop stuff for me..."he said in a somehow sweatdropping tone.
"Don't worry!I am already done with it. Besides it's time to start cooking!Hurry up,you don't have all day!"I said to try to salvage the situation.
The usual practice was like this,I chop and prepare the ingredients,my father cooks with it. He never lets me cook myself until I am old enough to do that which is in middle school. Only chopping and marinating he says so that he does not need to waste time to prepare when he gets back.
As we ate our dinner,my father told me how was his day in his workplace. He then asked me how was my day in school. I didn't know what to tell him,since so much stuff has happen so I said "The usual". But deep down,he knew something interesting has happen because I gave the hint away from the chopping board incident and I could tell as he kept pursuing the matter even after dinner as I was doing my homework.
To avoid the whole matter,I just went to my room,lock the door and tell my father I was going to sleep. Hopefully tomorrow,he don't have to bring up the matter again.
As morning arrives,the birds were chirping sweetly,the alarm was ringing as usual but one thing didn't change,the problem that I was going to face at school today. I really want to avoid everything,I really wanted to transfer to another place now,but it's impossible. My father had already left for work and breakfast was on the table,waiting for me to dig in. Even eating,my thoughts were far away than usual.
When I opened the door to leave my home,I saw a boy standing front of the gates. The boy turned around as he heard the door open and looked at me. That boy to my suprise was Zaizen.
"How did you...Why are you here?!"I asked. I was starting to think he is a stalker.
"Easy,I asked your address from the teacher saying you dropping something and I was going to return it."he replied unimpress by me.
"Then what do you want with me?!Haven't the lecture brainwashed your thoughts already?!"I asked again but this time pissed off by his attitude.
"Noisy,but not enough to chase me away... Besides once I decided on something,there is no turning back." he turn his head away but spoke seriously as though he was looking right through me.
He then held my hand and dragged me along. I hardly had the stamina to keep up but the most embrassing thing was the students in my school saw that and started to say I was his girlfriend! Who the hell wants to be his girlfriend especially that attitude of his! Life was never going to be the same again!
