I cook a carabao steak, get the wine, and take it to the living room, where my dad is currently watching an action movie. I want to enjoy this Sunday evening with my parents.

"Dad...?" I called. I placed it on a table in front of him. He was surprised to see that there was a carabao steak in front of him. This is one of our favorites.

"Oh, it looks tasty. Can I have a bite?"

"No, let's wait, mom," I told him, but he insisted that he get the pork and take his first bite of it.

"Mom! Come here..." I called Mom, and she immediately came. She is already wearing a nightgown. I laughed a little at seeing her that way.

"Your daughter has become stubborn tonight." Dad's joking. He just doesn't want to disturb the action movies he's watching. I know that, but I just ignored him at that time.

For three hours, Mom and Dad were my leaders. We are now facing the TV screen, which shows the lyrics of the song. My mom has no passion for singing, but she just accompanies my dad; even her voice is not good at singing. We sang, danced, and laughed. Mom and Dad held the microphone and sang the lyrics.

That song's title is "I love you like a love song", which was popularized by Selena Gomez.

"Ah, I love you like a love song, baby. 3X" I saw Dad kiss my mom. It is so nice to see how they love each other. Laughing before bedtime is really great, until we both said, "Good night."

My mother takes me to school at the crack of dawn. I sat silently in the car as she drove, my mind preoccupied with the thought of seeing Marvin during the second period. Perhaps I could nonchalantly walk past his classroom on my route to math class. Unbeknownst to me, my mother was bidding me farewell.

"Oh, sorry, Mom, I just think a lot. Maybe I'm just stressed about some of my subjects."

"Alright. Just make sure you can make up with your class." She leans in and kisses my cheek. I wish it were that easy. Jade and Joel are at the side of the car, waiting for me to get out.

"Your bodyguards are waiting. I don't want to keep them waiting."

I moan after mom said that. Nevermind! I chose to head off. And the two join me in the locker.

"Are you okay, Jezz?" Joel asked.

"Yeah, I'm just feeling out of it. I had a weird dream."

"Oh. maybe you are a dreamer hahaha."

"That's funny." I told him.

"I needed to walk to the English room to get something from Marvin. Let's head that way before our first class." What a relief! My heart felt like it was trembling with happiness. An explosion of excitement occurred.

"Shall we go...?" Jade said

"Yeah...!" I said. Do they know that I feel like my heart is breaking until I see him? Do they sense that I can hardly breathe without him?" Urg! This is so crazy.

As we approached his room, a distinct scent emanated from him, leaving me wondering how it was possible. It seemed like my mind was playing tricks on me. Before I could even reach the door, he turned around and noticed me in the hallway. Taking a deep breath, he ruffled his already messy hair, appearing slightly fatigued. Nonetheless, a smile graced his face as we entered the room together.

"Jezz, are you okay?" Did someone hurt you...?" He said. Finally, I can breathe normally again.

"Yes, I'm good," I said, and I smiled at him.
