My Tsundere

#28

Trence's POV

I knew I wanted to see Taileen the moment I woke up, no, actually, while I was still asleep.

So here I am, standing in front of her house, ready to ring the doorbell.

Oh, wrong. Not ready to ring the doorbell.

For some reason, I'm dead nervous. It'll be my first time here, I think.

My mental image of her house is a very clean and cute, since I nagged to her about cleanliness a couple of times.

"Okay, here goes.."

I rang the doorbell. I waited for a minute for an answer, but none came. I rang it again and again, waiting a minute in between all of those.

About 13 rings, I decided to go inside.

"I'm coming in!" I said, prolonging the word "in".

And I thought I witnessed my worst nightmare.

"TAILEEEEEEEEEN!!" I yelled as I ran, looking for her room. And I cleaned whatever mess I saw, for some reasons only God knows about.

Her house is surprisingly huge inside. It kind of looks like a ordinary house outside.

I finally found a room with the name "TAILEEN" engraved on a golden platter.

"TAILEEN! DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO---"

And then, I saw her sleeping face.

"--clean.."

The same face that I saw when she was still freeloading in my house. Her silky light orangey brown hair and adorable face that I can't help but stare at.

I walked carefully, making sure I won't create any noise.

I tapped her shoulder lightly. "Hey Taileen, wake up. You're going to be late for school, and I too."

She didn't respond, and only turned around the other direction, mumbling, "Screw off."

"Seriously, Tai. You really will, and you aren't even sick."

"I can be sick if I want to be. Go away, whoever you are."

"It's Trence Jones."

"Terence?"

She turned around, facing me. She still looked drowsy.

I blushed, as stupid as it is, but pretended to be annoyed. "D-Didn't I t-tell you a c-couple of times not t-to call me Terence?" I said and unintentionally averted my eyes.

She giggled. Oh Zeus forbid, this newly awoken Taileen is adorable and it is killing me.

"Jeez, Trence. I know what you're thinking. I'm just too sleepy to snap at you, stop thinking of creepy thoughts, you pervert."

Aaand she's back. Jeez, Zeus.

"I supremely prefer your sleepy version. Anyway, I think we're way too late for school. We missed the flag ceremony."

"What took you so long to wake me up?"

"Tripping, the horrible smell, fixing your stuff, your baby br---"

"Stop right there, perverted NCS!" She said, slapping my mouth close.

"Fine, fine. But what should we do now? We're really late, going to school at this point and time will only get us in trouble."

She rolled her eyes. "Who cares? Let's go to school nevertheless."

"Are you freaking kidding me? No way. It's also Mr. Bald's class. You know, the boring one?"
