AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! How You Like That is a BOOOOOOOMMMM!!! OMG! I still feel so hyped up! Everything about the song and the mv is aesthetic. Incredibly amazing.

Okay. Back to the story (^u^'). Sort of trigger warning again!

~~~~~~

After all these years, I never had something to look up to when going to school. I mean, I lived thru the junior and senior years as a loner, and I didn't ever think I will wake up in anticipation of what would happen in school.

"Chabellina!" Mom's voice echoed throughout the whole second floor of our house. I half-ran down the stairs while fixing the damned clip onto my hair.

"What's for breakfast?" I asked as I enter the kitchen. Mom lifted her eyes from my lunch box and gave out a laugh. "Why?"

"Is that a hairclip?" she asked, still laughing.

I could feel my cheeks turn hot. "Yes," I said fighting up to keep a straight face as I settle down my chair. I put jam on my toast, not looking at mom's face.

"And why did you put on a hairclip?" Thankfully, she isn't laughing.

"Because I'm a girl, Mom."

"Oh really? I thought you were planning to be asexual for years," she said, "and honestly, I am staring to accept that I will not be seeing my grandchildren from you."

I coughed at her statement, "Mom! What do mean grandchildren? I'm just a high schooler, okay?"

"I know. But when I was your age, I already have a boyfriend," she smiled reminiscently at the thought. "But of course, I rather have you focus on your study first,"

I was of course intrigued by this, I never expected Mom to talk about her past love life. "Who was your ex?"

"Well, he's still single today, I heard." She gave me a smile that I only see when he is talking about Dad. I raised my eyebrows. "Don't look at me like that, you know perfectly I only love your father."

I felt warmth inside my chest. I'm really happy that mom and dad love each other this much. I hope they won't change. And... if ever I would have a relationship in the future, I want it to be like theirs.

Geez. Why am I thinking about relationships so early in the morning and at breakfast too? I might get indigestion.

"But wait, Chabellina," Mom put my lunch box inside my bag, "you didn't answer why you have a hairclip on."

"I answered you, Mom." I took a sip on my choco drink.

"No, there must be something," I am not looking at her but I know she's watching me. "Do you, by any chance, have a boyfriend now?"

I was taking a big gulp of my drink when she asked this so I almost spilt the chocolate all over my front. "Mom! What gave you that idea?" I immediately removed the clip and placed it on the table. Okay, I am not wearing this. I stood. "I'll get going."

"Alright, if you don't want to tell me. But be assured I'll have my ears on it," she gave me an all-knowing smile.

I rolled my eyes and went out of the house. "Bye!"

"Bye," she shouted back, "and don't get yourself pregnant!"

I tripped on my way to the gate.

"MOM!?"

"Rosie!"

I stopped walking and saw Janeth running to me. She held my left arm as soon as she reached me and we walked together, "How are you? What time did you go home?"
