Chapter 5

When Do You Start Going with the 'Let's impress Zack plan'?

"Cloud, how many times do I have to tell you that I am not a morning person?" I shouted through gritted teeth as I dig my head under the pillow. Cloud freaking Strife is just ruining my beauty sleep for whoever's sake! It's freaking 8 o'clock in the morning! I know I love the word freaking. Especially when I'm freaking woken up in the middle of my sweet dreams.

"Come on, Teef! You better start being a morning person if you really want to impress Zack." He teased as he fights with my hands and the price, my pillow being removed from my head. I still want my pillow near my face, you sleep wrecker!

"I don't want to impress him. I just want to sleep more! I love sleeping much more than anything in the world!" I hissed at him. "And when do you start going with the 'Let's impress Zack' plan?" I know the moment me and Zack, well-uh, kissed, and all that what happened I am very sure that he will not go all supportive on me liking Zack. So why does he suddenly go pushing Zack on me? It is really creepy to think, if you might ask. Is he still my brother or is he abducted by the alien and then after torturing him took over his body? Oh my freaking G!

No way. I'm just over thinking!

"Well, let's say that some things happened and change our point of view. Anyway, wouldn't you love it if I go all supportive on my best friend and my sister?" He said confidently while still fighting with me over the pillow.

"Don't you 'some things' me. I want to sleep! Get out!" I hissed again at him and decided to go more deeply on my mind. Until my hands decided to lose over Cloud's hand on my pillow. Great hands! Did I ever do something wrong on you? I know I draw a lot, but hey! It is your purpose!

"What is it you want, Cloud?" I snarled at him throwing him my deathliest glare.

"Aerith's coming over." He said with no expression written on his face. But one thing's for sure, his face is pale and he is serious.

I raised my eyebrows at him. "So?"

"Aerith's coming over."

"What?! What is her coming over have to do with you ruining my sleep?" I know it's bad. Aerith's my friend and she's coming over so I am responsible on welcoming her but what does Cloud have to wake me up? Usually, Aerith's the one waking me up. So simply saying, Cloud never really cared if Aerith's coming over or not. Unless-

"You're not seriously going all girly girl over Aerith?" I said as I shot up from my bed.

"No! No! It's just that..."

"You-you like Aerith, don't you?" I asked him slowly. I don't know what my reaction would be if he answers a yes or a no. I mean it would be really comforting on my side if he would end up with my girl best friend because I know Aerith more than anyone else would and she's a really good girl. I'd be happy by that but, wouldn't it feel really weird? Or awkward? I mean my brother going all mushy with my best friend, more likely in front of me?

Ugh?

Hey, you're pinning on his best friend! My ever-reliable conscience shouted. Well, yeah obviously. You got a point there. I guess it's fair on both of us. Oh! Maybe that's why he acts all strange when me and Zack kissed. Maybe he feels a little weird just like what I am thinking now. Oh yeah! That's it, right? What else could it be?

I chuckled. "Teef, why are you laughing?" Cloud asked taking me away from my 'self-talking'.

"Huh? Oh, I was just talking to myself. The usual." I grinned. "So you like her, huh?"

"Maybe? Yeah. I don't know" He barely whispered.

I think I know what I would feel. I look weird here right now if you would like to know. But I couldn't help but grin widely. He likes her! Oh my God! The civilization inside me is cheering with me, too!

"Hey, don't grin like that you're freaking me out!" He said and he really looks like he's going to pass out anytime.

"Oh I'm sorry! I can't control my cheeks, it's really stretching out!" I joke as I stretched it into a wider grin. Cloud chuckled and sits beside me.

"You really are cute!"

"Don't call me cute! I'm not a puppy!" I scowled. If I'm still in seventh grade I would love to be called cute all the time, but not after my eight grade English teacher revealed us the shocking truth that cute are for puppies. Who would want to be referred to as a puppy? Me, I don't want to. Uh-Uh!

"You really believe on that teacher? Trust me, she is lying."

"When it comes to the English, I believe her more than I do with you." I pointed out to him. Yes Cloud is good at almost anything and all but take note of the word 'almost', that almost is what we universally know as English. I looked at him in horror when he started acting like he's hurt with what I said. More likely the truth.

"You're a terrible actor, don't you know that?" I teased and with that I got up and throw my pillow at his face just before I leave.

Believe me, he looks constipated.
