Two Years

February 1st of the Year 2028, somewhere in the middle of the city, a beautiful girl with silver hair was sleeping in her room soundly. Undisturbed by the sound beside her.

*Beep! *Beep! *Beep! The girl kept on sleeping, even though her alarm clock keeps on ringing so loudly.

*Beep! *Beep! *Beep!

The noise from the alarm clock kept on ringing.

The mother of the beautiful girl downstairs noticed that her daughter is still sleeping so soundly upstairs despite the annoying sound of the alarm clock, so she went to her room and wake her daughter up.

*Knock *Knock *Knock

"Alexandria! Alexandria! honey, wake up!" Her mother shouted outside her room while knocking.

"You're going to be late for your first day of face-to-face classes at school." Her mother called out.

"Sigh, This girl must have played computer games all night again, even though I told her to sleep early because her classes are finally starting." Her mother mumbled as she keeps on knocking on Alexandria's door.

Her mother realized that it is already pointless to keep on knocking on Alexandria's door because Alexandria is a heavy sleeper. Especially whenever she played and slept very late with her friends. Sensing that there's no is still no movement inside Alexandria's room, no matter how hard, she knocks and calls out. Her mother opened the door and wake Alexandria up herself. She took the keys in her pocket and opened the door.

Her mother walked through her room and went to her alarm clock to turn it off. Then her mother pulled the blankets away from Alexandria, sits down on her bed beside her, then gently caressing Alexandria's face while waking her up.

"Alex, Alexandria honey, Alexandria wake up. Didn't I tell you and your friends last night to stop playing and sleep early? It is your first day in school today so, you should properly dress yourself up and look good."

Feeling someone caressing her face, Alexandria woke up hearing her mother's rant beside her. Then she turned her body, making her back facing her mother so that her mother won't see that she is already awake. Closing her eyes, Alexandria keeps on pretending to sleep as she does not want to get up yet.

"Ahhh, so you want to play that way." Already used to her daughter's habits, her mother instantly knows that Alexandria is just pretending and is already wide awake.

Alexandria loves to play with her mother a lot of times, and this time she decided not to get up because of her laziness.

Her mother moved closer to Alexandria and pinched her sides.

"Ahhhh, ouch, ouch, ouch, mom, I'm awake, I'm awake." Startled from her mother's pinch Alexandria.

"You should stop acting like a baby and start behaving like a lady. You're already 18 years old entering your high school years. Go dress yourself up like a lady and eat your breakfast downstairs you're going to be late for your classes." Her mother scolding Alexandria while fixing her bed.

Alexandria hugs her mother from behind. "I know you like it when I act like a baby every morning. It's the only time of the day where we can spend a little time together since you are so busy taking care of my brothers and sisters."

Touched by her daughter's gestures, Irene can't help but smile and faced her.

"Okay, okay, I admit it I like it whenever you do this kind of stuff. But at least learn when is the right time to be mature and when to behave like a baby, and this time is clearly not the right time for you to do stuff like this, do you understand?" Irene, scolded Alexandria while helping her continue to fix her bed.

"Okay," Alexandria answered while pouting.

"But why did you guys make four babies in a row, anyway if it's hard to even take care of one?"

Surprised by her daughter's question, Irene blushed a little and paused what she's doing.

"It is hard to control your father, especially if we are locked up in our house for three years. We didn't even know we would have twins. Now enough of this sweet-talking of yours and let's eat." Irene answered after finishing fixing her bed then she dragged Alexandria downstairs.

"Good morning Dad," Alexandria Greeted her father,

"Good morning Ax, good morning El." Greeting her 4-year-old twin brothers.

"Good morning Serene, good morning Zandra," Greeting her 3-year-old and 2-year-old sisters, respectively.

"Good morning Alexa," Her father greeted back.

"Goo—Good Mornin, Sis—Sistah," Her two younger sisters and the twins greeted back in unison while stuttering.

"By the way, Alexa, aren't you late already?" Her father said while looking at his watch.

"It's still early, isn't it?" Alexandria asked.

"No, it's already 7:30 you, know." Her mother answered.

"What!!? Why didn't you say earlier? My classes start at 7:30. I got to go, I need to go." Alexandria said while getting one loaf of bread and her backpack.

"You are already late anyway, A late is still a late no matter what time you arrive, so why don't you slow down for a bit and take your time instead. You should at least take a shower first and finish your breakfast." Her father said to Alexandria, seeing her rushing through the door already.

Hearing her father while the door is already half-opened Alexandria, answered. "No worries, I already ate and took a shower at dawn before I slept." After answering Alexandria, then rushed outside because she knows that her mother will scold her again for taking a shower then sleeping at dawn.

Hearing her daughter's answer, Irene rushed to the door and shouted at Alexandria outside. "Didn't I told you not to take a shower then sleep at night because it is bad for your health!!"

"Goodbye mom, goodbye dad," Alexandria waved and shouted in reply playfully to her mother.

"Sigh, this girl never listens to any of my advice," Irene mumbled while going back to her seat.

"Don't worry too much about it. Alexandria already has a well-built body, anyway. With all these years going to the gym with me every day and practicing martial arts, she can probably run around all day without getting tired." Zach said.

"You're spoiling her too much."

"You kids should not follow your sister in the future, do you understand?" Irene turned to her children and said.

"Okayyyyyyyyyyy!!" The children said in unison.
