Take care of her

The night passed away and the sun arose signaling the start of another day. Michael arose due to the rays of sun shining over his face, with a yawn he got up though with some effort, after all he slept at 1.00 a.m. to wake up at 7.00. This was due to the fact that the family diner ended by 9.00 p.m. due to the various topics they spoke about and after the diner he dived into gaming which he stopped playing at 1.00 leading to him sleeping late.

'Damn school' Michael cursed but he didn't dare say it out loud after all his parents were people who believed without school, a man is nothing and if they even heard him say that, he knew it'll make him even more tired. So keeping his thoughts to himself, he decided to freshen up and get ready for school.

Moments later, he was done with his bath and was currently checking himself out in the mirror, mainly fixing his uniform. The new age academy's uniform was comprised of a white shirt, dark blue trousers and a blue coat with white stripes, the schools insignia imprinted on the right side of the coat. Michael was obviously tired of this uniform but he decided not to complain, as this was his last year in high school might as well get it done and over with.

Soon he was done with fixing up his uniform and he stepped out of his room, his destination the kitchen so as to cook something for himself but that thought was soon shot out the window as he noticed his mother seated at the dining table using her phone. Seeing her, he said "mom…?" Aurora hearing this turned, looked up and noticed Michael, with a smile on her face she said "oh Michy you're awake, how was your night? Come, I prepared a little something for you" as she pointed at the seat opposite hers before standing up

"It was okay" Michael answered as he sat down where instructed as he watched his mother head to the kitchen, as she opened the oven and began dishing him food. Getting a sniff of the sumptuous aroma, Michael couldn't help but gulp as he asked "what's that?"

"Oh are you that curious?" Aurora answered with a chuckle before bringing the dish before him, it comprised of toast and pancake with honey syrup, a smile appeared on her face as she said "well it's just a little something I cooked up for you after what you did yesterday and don't worry if you're not satisfied, there's a lot more" hearing this Michael smiled, the reason for his joy being he loved pancake but he didn't get to eat it a lot so having this opportunity to eat it to his heart's content, made his quite happy as he stopped thinking and dug into the food.

.

"See you later mom" Michael said as he walked out of the house. '8.30 am' Michael checked the time on his phone as he began his walk to school and seeing the time, he knew he had about 30mins to get to school which was more than enough time to get there.

5 minutes into his walk, he soon frowned as he noticed a pair of two standing by a streetlight, he was immediately able to discern their identities as a sigh escaped his mouth; it seemed his sigh was quite loud as Joseph and Arianna stared at him, a smile on both faces as they shouted out his name "Michael!"

"Yo" Michael said nonchalantly as he walked forward, as he reached them he paused. Joseph seeing this was about to grab him by the neck while Arianna was planning to get his hand but they failed whole fully as Michael disappeared appearing a few meters ahead of them.

"HUH!?" They both shouted, their mouth wide open as they stared at him in shock wondering how he did that but rather than thinking over the matter they decided to ask him directly as they rushed towards him. "How did you do that?" Their eyes gleaming as they asked but Michael paid them no heed as he continued walking completely disregarding their words but this didn't affect them in anyway as they continued asking but they soon gave up, 10mins in as they finally realized, he didn't plan to answer them.

"So Mich, how was yesterday?" Joseph asked immediately as though nothing had happened a few seconds ago, "oh it wasn't bad" Michael answered a small smile on his face but Joseph was able to notice this and surprise was written all over his face as he wondered 'what happened at his house yesterday?' But he soon threw the thought out of the window as he smiled, happy his friend was happy. Arianna noticing the cherry mood in the air felt left out but this soon changed as Michael stared at her and said "thanks for yesterday, I really appreciate it"

"Oh no worries" Arianna answered, hiding her face in embarrassment as her cheeks were currently flushed red but her curiosity washed away her embarrassment as she asked "so what happened yesterday that got you happy?" A shocked expression appeared on Joseph's face as he wondered just where she got the courage from but rather than reprimanding her, he looked at Michael, curiosity in his eyes. Michael seeing their eyes, thought about it for a while before deciding to answer "ah well, we had a family dinner and discussed various things"

"Oh is that right, now I wonder what you guys talked about" Joseph muttered out loud and Michael didn't think long as he answered "well school and her" as he pointed at Arianna. Seeing Michael's hand pointed at Arianna, a confused look appeared on both her face and Joseph's face as they said at the same time

"Her/Me…?" To this Michael nodded. Seeing this, a shocked expression appeared on Joseph's face while Arianna's face flushed red as she hid her face away. Joseph seeing this, immediately rushed towards Michael and whispered "what did you guys talk about?" And Michael didn't shy away as he began recounting the events of the past night.

After having said everything, Michael looked at Joseph but a disgusted expression appeared on his face as he saw him crying while Joseph's creepy smile, immediately he distanced himself from him as he said "the hell is up with that smile? And why the heck are you crying?" To this Joseph answered

"Am just happy my best bro got himself a girl, it seems you weren't gay after all" hearing these words, Michael grew pissed as he said "what the hell are you saying?" But Joseph only continued smiling as he said "take care of her"

"You fucker" Michael shouted. While the two were bickering Arianna stood there as her mind began racing as she heard what they said, her imagination going wild as she thought 'huh does this mean his parents have given their consent? Do they think we're a couple or something? Does that mean we're going to get married, have kids and more?' She had a goofy smile on her face as her mind wondered around.

The bystanders had a smile on their face as they watched the kids enjoying their youth.
