Daemon

     I grabbed my pack for school, combed my hair gliding the brush swiftly, and rushed down the stairs. I ran through the kitchen and grabbed my breakfast: pancakes topped with bacon and cheese topped by another pancake.

      And immediately started to munch it, until I reach the dinning room and saw my parents having their breakfast as usual my dad would prefer some toasted bread dipped with cream and slices of bacon and a cup of espresso, take note NO sugar just plain coffee will do for him. While my lovely mom will always go with the bacon and eggs with bread and a cup of creamy latte.
   
     Yeah I know they are kinda opposite well except for the 'bacon' thing I should say.

     "Oh hello, sweety! Good morning," mom said with a smile.

      "Good morning too mom,- and then I turned to my dad who is currently reading the newspaper. "Good morning dad,"

       "Oh there you are, I'm sure your going to school already."

       "Yeah sort of, but dad I'm kinda late."

        "I know you can just take my car keys at the counter." he suggested not glancing at me. Hm, I guess that newspaper is really something. Well why would I be jealous of some kind of a paper! Like come on!

    "Thanks a lot dad, bye." I told him then went to my mother and kissed her cheek and then hugged her.

     "Bye,mom." then I flashed a smile to my parents before leaving the room. And immediately went to the garage where my dad's car is.

      "Man my teacher's goin' to kill me, I'm late!" I hissed under my breathe. Before leaving the garage.

   Ten minutes later I finally arrived in front of our school gate. I just need to find some parking space, luckily I found one near my first class. I parked it carefully not to bump the fender like the last time I did when I was also rushing.
    'My dad was really mad at me for hitting the bumper so bad. Like he did not talk to me for half a month and pretended not to see me. It cost him seventy-five dollars just to fix it. And my mom was really pleading for my dad  to forgive me. My mom was so sad because my dad never gave me an allowance and he never allowed my mom to give me some money. I even needed to go part time just to have money. My friend was teasing me always, for having this dark bags under my eyes. Until my dad learned to release forgiveness.'

    Remembering those things made me learn a lot. But remembering that I'm late for school made me rush towards my classroom.

     "...as he walked across the earth, filled with white snow, with it's boots half inch beneath it...," one of my classmate read the story.
 
      I slowly opened the door making sure not to make any sound to catch their attention towards me. As I silently entered the room,

   "Oh there you are Mr. Castell and guess what..."

     "I'm late." I cut her off then walked towards my chair taking my seat.

     "Good to know you're aware of it." Mrs. Autumn said with an irritating voice. She really hates student who are late. She doesn't care if it's your first time being late. Or what reasons you have being late. In short if you are late she hates you. And she might use it against you in the future.

    "Mr.Castell even if today's your birthday, I will not give you any excuses. I will still mark you late. And sad to say it's for the first time this school year."

      "I understand." I said with a deep voice. As I fix my self comfortably. I even forgot today's my birthday. Weird, even my parents haven't greeted me this morning.

       "Happy birthday bro!" Keanu tapped my shoulders silently.

    He's my bestfriend kinda like my brother. Like he already know everything about me, the way I know everything about him. It's pretty hard for us to hide secrets from one another.

     The bell rang for the last class today. Yes it's time for me to go home, I miss my room. 'Cuz I'm already tired, I might probably go to sleep immediatley.

    "Hey, I'm goin home early today, okay?" I said as I approached Keanu as he pack his things. And headed towards the hallway.

    "Oh I though we're goin' to hang out, 'cuz it's your birthday."

   "Uhm, maybe next time bro. I promise, but I'm really tired today. I just want to rest."

    "Yeah, I understood. So have a safe drive back home okay?"

     "Yeah, thanks bro. You too."

   As I arrived home, I almost reached my room when something 'popped'.

    I turned around as soon as I heard it. To my surpise I saw my parents holding a cake with sixteen candles on it, wearing a party hat, just like they do when I was a kid.

    "Happy Birthday Daemon!!!" my mom shrieked as she hugged me.

     "Thanks mom, I love you."

     "Happy Birthday son, here take this."

    "Thanks dad, what's this?"

    "It's a gift! Duhh," my mom rolled her cerulean blue eyes. It made me laugh seeing her attitude like that. I seldomly see her that way and it warms me up.

   "Thanks, mom and dad."
