"Dear, wake up! It's your first day in school."
I grumbled quietly in my sleep. But when I heard a familiar voice calling me, my eyes fluttered open on their own.
I can't believe it's my first day at school and even if I just woke up, I already felt nervous. The future is unpredictable. Anything can happen without us knowing.
Papa shook my shoulder gently and I frowned, "Ehh, I still want to sleep," I muttered, rolling to my back. I heard him chuckle which I ignored. He probably rolled his eyes too.
"It's the first day yet you're already feeling lazy? You should feel motivated," He sighed. I felt his arms shaking my body again but a little firm this time. I still did not sit up because I was still sleepy.
"I'm going to carry you out of your bed and throw you in the bathtub," I quickly stood up in my feet and grinned. That is not gonna happen.
A few years ago, I still remembered how papa literally carried me to the bathroom and almost threw me into the bathtub. I can't believe that happened but he spared a second chance. That won't HAPPEN again.
He smiled then patted my head, "Alright! Take a warm shower first. After that, wear your uniform. I already prepared it in your closet," He said before speaking again. "Oh, and your bag is already downstairs. Be quick, okay? You're still going to eat your breakfast."
I nodded my head, "Okay papa. Thanks!" I politely thanked him which earned me another pat on the head. He really likes giving me head pats. He left my room after.
I did what he said. Take a shower, wear my uniform, and of course, prepare myself so I don't look like a mess when I go to school. After that, I went downstairs, to the dining area to eat breakfast with my family. Surprisingly, Eli was also here, a rare sight to see which I didn't bother because it's none of my business to ask.
My chair was beside my papa so I sat beside him, "Hi papa," I greeted in a polite tone. "Hello again, dear." He nodded his head towards me before looking at my other brothers. "Okay everyone. Since we're all here, let us start eating together," His voice was in a gentle but excited tone.
I'm not sure why he is excited, but probably because I'm going to school for the first time.
We all ate in silence. Nobody commented on me with some snarky remarks, which means that I'm going to have a great day, I think. It's just my theory but it does work.
Twenty minutes passed by and we were all done eating our breakfast. Papa helped me get ready to go to school. But I wonder who will drive me to school-
"Your brother Adam will drive you to school from now on, if that's okay with you?" He looked at me expectly. I froze in my spot.
It's okay if my service driver is a person that Papa is close with, but Adam? I don't know what got to his mind. I find Adam scary. Whenever he's around, I would make sure that I am always hidden from him and his mischievous doings, but it seems that I wouldn't get to hide from him anymore since he'll be my driver for eternity.
