Chapter 4

Chapter 4

The next morning I was a bit wakeful. Last night, I'm wondering if I really liked Raven. I almost admitted this morning that maybe I would have liked him if it's not just---

"Raven!!!" I shouted his name.

Argh!

When will that brat grow old? He threw away his milk again. I erased my thoughts that maybe I liked him because of the annoyance he makes me feel!

"Raven! Why did you waste the amount of milk on the floor again?!" I said tightly while slightly massaging my forehead.

He's super annoying, he can clean it up, right? But he better not waste milk in the first place, right? Very childish Damulag!

"Oh hija, here you are." Manang noticed me so I turned to her.

She was carrying a milk purifier that Raven had thrown away. Oh, how embarrassing that boy has done.

Damn. I'll kick that brat later!

"Ah yes, Manang. Good morning, where is Raven? And I'm sorry for his childish acts again..."

"Good morning, hija. Raven is in the garden. It's okay, I'll take care of it hija. You better tell him to get ready because you still have a class to attend." said Manang.

I nodded at what she said.

"All right, thank you. If I still don't have to remind that brat, I'll just clean it. By the way, I'll go to him first." I said to Manang with a smile and headed to the garden.

When I got to the garden, I saw him watering the plants. But his body was very wet. He even took a bath here huh?!

"Raven!" I called.

He turned to me and smiled.

When I approached him I immediately smacked him.

"Why did you throw away your milk again?!"

He scratched his head to the spot that got smacked by me.

"I'm sorry, I'm sleepy while holding it so the glass slipped off to my hand and that's it," he answered like a child.

I couldn't help but blink at his stupid usual answer.

"I wish you could just clean it, right? It's embarrassing for Manang, you're grown up!"

"Sorry, Haley ..." He said while pouting.

"Tss. Why are you here? We have a class to attend, Raven. It's time to take a bath and eat breakfast!"

"Eh, I'm already taking a bath here. Look!" and he poured the hose over his body. Oh my! Aish!

He's got a tempting built of bod--ehhh??? What am I thinking???

"Raven, get changed. Come inside, if you won't go inside... then you'll earn a smack again. We might get late!" I said and went inside.

Aish, the shape of his body was emphasized because of his wet clothes. Why does he look hot even though he's childish? The built of his body was freakin'--- wait, OMG! What am I thinking? Have I gone crazy?

Gosh! He makes me crazy.

-----

"Tomorrow is your examination day. Study and good luck! See you on Monday! Dismiss!" Mrs. Malegana said.

I stood up and stretched. What a tiring day! The examination is pretty near so I should relax my brain and I should stop thinking nonsense.

I was fixing my things when Larina went to me and spoke.

"Haley girl, I have to go first, okay? I'm going to review, I haven't reviewed my notes yesterday because you know, busy chatting haha. Mwah!" Larina said goodbye to me.

"Oh, that's good. Study well and don't just chat around Lari, please. Be careful!" I answered and gave her a flying kiss.

I watched her until she came out of the classroom and then I put on my bag.

I turned to Raven behind me and I laughed at his expression.

"What happened to you?" I asked while laughing, he looks like he has diarrhea.

"Haley, my stomach hurts," he said and touched his stomach.

"Maybe, you have diarrhea haha."

"No, I'm not. It really hurts..." He said seriously. "To love like this!"

His dizzy face was replaced by a funny one.

"It's a prank, Haley!" he laughed at the statement.

"Uhuh? Is that a prank? It's not obvious."

"Aish! At least I made you laugh!"

"Whatever. Let's go!" and I went out of the classroom first.

We are the only ones left in the classroom so he has the gut to joke around. And... is that even a joke? Haha.

He's a real snob and very quiet at school. I don't know why he only behaves like a child at home.

When we got home, he took me to the living room.

"Haley, let's watch a movie!" he said, excited about that.

"What? We can't. We have an exam tomorrow so our brains need to relax and to produce answers to the test."

"Eh, it's still early. Let's watch a movie, please. Please please, Haley." then he intertwined his two palms as if he's praying for my approval.

Is he serious about that? This stubborn childish brat!

"I said, we have an exam tomorrow!"

"It's still early..."

"No, I need to preview my notes maybe I missed some things of it."

"But I want to watch a movie, Haley." he snout.

"How about after the exam, are you okay with that?"

He looked up and slowly nodded.

"Okay. I want milk."

And as usual, he asked for his precious drink.

Tsk. Tsk.

"Don't waste the milk, Raven. I'm warning you."

"I won't," he replied. He even salutes at me.

"Just make sure, I'm going to sulk!"

Suddenly his eyes widened at my words.

"Promise, I won't waste my milk. Don't get mad, Haley," he begged like a child.

He even steps closer to stare into my eyes deeply.

"Alright. Alright." I told him to get nervous because of the distance he made.

"Thank you, Haley!"

I nodded and went to the kitchen. Why do I always end up in the kitchen after running away from him because my heart would just about to explode?

Actually, I was shocked by his actions. One of the things I noticed about Raven since then was that he seemed nervous when he heard I am gonna sulk. He's turning very obedient as long as I do not get angry.

It feels nice. I'm happy about that.

Wait... What? Me? Happy? About that?

Why would I feel happy about that? Am I happy because he's being obedient? Or there is something different?

I'm not really an expert about how you would find out that you're having a feeling for someone, but I'm not also dumb.

I feel happy when he does that, he makes me happy with little things like that.

But... I don't like him right?

Because it's just so sudden. And if I like him? When did it start?

"Haley! Where's my milk? Can you be a little bit faster?" Raven asked when he steps inside the kitchen.

Aish! That brat has really the power of stopping from this kind of thoughts and at the same time distracting me like this.

"Wait, it's almost done!"

I'm hoping that I'm right, that I don't like him.

And then I looked at my chest and held it. I think... I'm in trouble.

"Why are you holding your chest? Is that how you pour love to my drink to show how sincere you are for making it?" he asked with his usual innocent tone and chuckled.

No, I'm holding it because my heart is in trouble. Shit!
