"Mint?" My jaw dropped at what my dad said.
"Yes Lannah. Im giving you permission in exchange, you need to be with Mint." dad said that even my baby brother, Drew was puzzled at what he was hearing.
"Mint? Who's that daddy?" the 6 year old kid asked.
"You don't want to know him, Drew." I said.
Mint and I are just not perfectly nor partly fit to each other's world.
"You still can't forget that aye?" Dad said and took a sip at his green tea, which he takes every morning.
I nodded and sighed.
He was my friend or shall I say my childhood friend. He was a bully. A very bully person. When we're in 4th grade he suddenly disappeared.. They said that he was in France already.
Years later when I'm older, when I'm already in 7th grade, I knew then that his parents divorced. I pitied him even though he bullied me I knew that he is not that tough. I always see him cry inside his room whenever his mom failed to come home during his birthdays which happen always.
And months later ... my mom died because of cancer.
I think that's the reason why my dad and his' always hang out together. They've been always that close though.
"You should try to make up. You were just kids back then. Now you two are grown up so be mature Lannah Paulo if you want to go to school. You have a week to make up your mind." dad said and kissed Drew's forehead and mine.
I'm home schooled ever since I was a kid. I'm with Mint until that time he wnet away so I was left all alone. And.. I need to or may I say I WANT TO.. have something else. I want to skip this boring routine. I was thankful for all the things I have..but now.. It's just so plain amd boring.
"Bye daddyy!!" Drew said as dad went out. I kissed Drew's forehead too.
"I'm going up" I said and looked at his nanny. "Kindly take charge. I'm just gonna be in my room" I said and she just nodded. She is in her mid 30's I think.
When I went up to my room I let myself dig in my fluffy bed.
KRING. KRINGGG.
"Hello? It's Lannah" I answered the phone.
"Hey Lannah"
Wait... What?
His voice creeped me out. Even tho we haven't seen each other for like how many years.... I can just feel that it's his.
"It's--
"Mint?!" I was shocked and stood up fastly and I cut his words.
I heard him laughed.
"Oh god! The great bully, Mint Fernandez!" I said in an amusing tone- without even thinking twice.
Maybe it's the feeling excitement on seeing someone again.
I heard him chuckled... Again.
Which is weird.
"You guessed it right, Lannah. So what's up with that School thingy? Don't tell me your dad kept you at your house.. Like it's almost 8 years!" I didn't know if he was saying it in a tease way.. Or he is giving me pity.
