The Nerd's Personal Bad Boy

Counting stars

Claudia's POV

A knock on my door woke me up. Well, barely.

" hmm ahphen. Fa dars ughpen..." I mumbled

Which translates to: ( yeah? Open. The door's open...)

" Claudia, darling. Wake up, dear. " my dad said

" Dad, five more minutes! Please" I moaned

I even pouted to add to the effect, but with my eyes closed.

" Claudia, I'm over at your right side." He said then chuckled

Oh, the idiocy.

" C'mon, get dressed and have breakfast, it's already 7:45 am and school starts at 8!" He said while he was headed out the door

"What! Oh my God! This can't be happening!"

I splashed my face, tied my hair without even combing it and grabbed the first pair of pants and shirt I could find, I finished in exactly two minutes. I didn't even bother to check the mirror.

I jogged down the stairs with thundering footsteps but I didn't care. I run to the kitchen, and shove the breakfast in my mouth and I brushed my teeth.

I grabbed a pair of shoes without even looking, never mind about socks, I'm late!

I was about to rush out the door when I hear something fall to the floor.

It was Casimir.

He was in fits of laughter.

" Claudia! You're wearing pajama pants, you do know that right? And your shoes! They don't even match! "

I look at him in confusion and stare at my feet. Oh... On my right foot was a white converse shoe and on the right was a red keds one.

My brother was literally ROFL and LOL.

I may look like an idiot but I can't afford to miss today's class, we had to do a powerpoint presentation today which would be 30% of our final grade in that class.

I let out an irritated sigh at Cas and my eyes wandered beside Casimir. It was a guilty looking dad.

" What's wrong, dad?" I ask

" Cas & I were playing monopoly... "

I squint my eyes, confused.

" um, good for you." I said

" Claudia, do you still have some money? Never mind if you do or not, take this."

Dad got a1000 Peso bill out of his wallet and handed it to me.

Oh, cash!

I was going to grab it and run to the bookstore when I realize, something's wrong.

" Dad, you never give big amounts of cash likes this, what did you do?" I squint my eyes

" I lost the monopoly game between Cas and I, I had to do what he wanted, not anything illegal of course!" He said raising his arms, nervously laughing, as if it would defuse the tension.

" Dad, just say it."

" Casimir asked me to wake you up for school."

I always cooed. My brother was the sweetest, he actually remembered. He saved me from receiving an F. Out of impulse, I enveloped into a bear hug and ruffled his already messy hair.

" Aren't you the sweetest! You actually remem-"

" Claudia, it's Saturday." My dad said

I froze in spot and Cas did too. My arm was wrapped around his shoulders and the other cupping his cheek. I looked down at him with eyes burning with fiery, this punk!
