Confession

Marienne Aecy Chandria's Point of View

What the heck!? What am I doing? Why did I do this to Tukmol? Am I going crazy? Damn! I'm abnormal! Sweetie! What's that, Mac? Huh? What's that? What was on your mind and you did it? When did you learn to do such things?

This is Cid's fault! If he hadn't made me run and run, I wouldn't have gotten tired. Yeah, right, it's Cid's fault. There is no one to blame for this but that monkey.

I was just bending over while listening to music and I didn't know what Jerk was doing next to me. I was ashamed to look at him because he might just tease me. We are both enemies so what will he think about why I did this? He will tease me and I don't want that to happen.

"Hey, Mac! What's that, huh? What's that? What's wrong with you? You haven't admitted yet, you have a crush on Zhyro. But Mac, stop your crush because you're still young and We won't allow you, brother, to enter into a relationship," a sudden shout from someone made me raise my head.

There I saw Zac looking like a fool because he raised his index finger and seemed to be saying 'you're upset. Zhyro and I fixed our seats, I also took my headset from him and I just made Zac suffer. It's too much, it's good to fight. I heard Tukmol's weak sob.

"Shut up there, Zac, you're talking, I'm going to put a paper over your mouth. Don't make us listen to this Jerk's music with malice."

"Wha— hey, Marine Aecy Chandria Ramos! I'm just telling you because our other brothers aren't here to stop you. Levi ordered me to watch over you because they know you're going to do something stupid," Zac said why am I scratching my cheek I'm starting to get bored!

"I'm not doing anything bad. The truth is that I'm very smart, I can't break a plate."

"Shit! You even lied to me. You're my twin, so even if you fart, I know the smell. Why can't you break a plate? You, kind? When did that happen? You're a demon," he asked. Shit this guy!

"I'm kind. You don't ask that I saw drumsticks on our table earlier, there were three of them and I intend to return them to you in case I got hungry so I ate one and gave you two. Oh, right? I'm kind I gave you two, if I was possessed by my twin demon that you say is likely, I would have eaten all three and used them up. Thank you very much and I am kind."

"Damn! That's why one of my drumsticks is missing. I counted my drumsticks, Mac. That's 58 so I'm wondering why it's only 57. I even accused Rhex of taking my food," he answered with a frown and slightly scratched his left eyebrow.

"And it's Rhex that you accused? He didn't even move your things."

"Because he was the one I saw there earlier," he reasoned. He snorted so much that he could hang a pot over his mouth.

"Crap! You made excuses for that."

"Tsk. Hey, Zhyro, come here, let's talk!" He shouted and gestured to Jerk.

Jerk immediately followed Zac so I just ignored him. What will those two talk about? Zac's face was serious when they left and so was Jerk. I only see them being serious once, so I'm really curious.

"It's okay guys, it's tomorrow! Let's all rest and go home. I know you're tired," JV shouted and wiped his sweat.

JV is right, we are all tired here. We repeated the song several times and I was almost hoarse. It was better for JV to stop the practice because I might lose my voice.

I went to my bag and got some water, I was tired. Our routine is like this every day, a school in the morning then practice in the afternoon and evening. We have also told Levi and Rhex about our departure so they know that we will be going home at night.

Zac and I are happy because our other two older brothers understand that. They supported what we wanted to do. Even when we were in the province they were like this. If they knew Zac and I were right, they would fight for it. I remember when we were only in Grade 9. Zac and Cid and I were hanging out at the kiosk. Budoy's group suddenly approached us, damn!

The name of that one is really ugly and the appearance is also ugly. I used to eat spring rolls filled with sayote and sweet potatoes, only spring rolls, very expensive and small and with little filling.

Budoy suddenly snatched what I was eating and suddenly hit me so accordingly, I suddenly kicked him. I was cool because blood was already flowing from his nose, Zac and Cid just laughed and agreed, there was already a battle in the kiosk.

Our parents were called but Levi and Rhex went because we didn't have parents. Budoy's older brother also went to him. There was a response within the faculty. I even glared at Budoy just to tell the principal what happened and I think it's a good thing he got it.

He told the truth and my crazy Levi suddenly kicked Budoy. He said it's not right to hit a woman and Budoy's big brother suddenly snapped, saying I'm not a woman so his brother did the right thing.

I don't know what happened but when Levi was about to attack Budoy's brother, he suddenly fell, knocking him out! That was kicked by Rhex. Our principal almost fainted because of what he saw. Budoy was suspended for a week and Zac and Cid's punishment was to clean the bathroom near the corner.

Oh right? I already know who I inherited from. I think I'm babbling now. It's the effect of fatigue. It's JV's fault.

"Mac, come on, I'm hungry. Dang, I ran out of krimstick. We're late because of practice," Zac said so we said goodbye to JV and went out first.

We were walking home, Zac was fiddling with his cell phone and I was kicking rocks on the road. My phone was low bat earlier so I can't use anything now. Because I played tongs so I got low battery.

"Zac, what did you and Jerk talk about earlier?"

"Why did you ask? You want something, don't you?" He teased and slightly bumped my shoulder.

I glared at him because I didn't like what he said. That one is really stupid.

"Just asking, does anyone want it right away? Can't I just be curious? I'll hit it up."

"It's easy Mac, that's a man's talk so you're not allowed to know. You can ask me when you're a man," he answered.

"Alright. I know I'm the one you talked about earlier, so maybe I have the right to know what that is. Maybe later you're going to say something bad about me, maybe you're talking bad about me, but there's nothing yet I know too."

"As long as it's up to Zhyro and us and then stops calling it a jerk, it's not a jerk. And don't worry because I'm not defaming you or anything. Don't even think about that and you might just get a headache," he said.

"I want to call him a jerk, do you care? And I can't help but think that."

"I don't know about you, Mac. I don't know about you," he said and scratched his head slightly.

We arrived home and Levi was watching TV while Rhex was answering something in his notebook, maybe his assignment. Of all of us, Rhex is the smartest, as if his IQ is far higher than ours. It's not that the three of us are stupid, but Rhex is smart.

He was always top 1 in the class and elementary school he was valedictorian. His speech was even cool and of course, I bragged to my classmates that my Big Brother was smart.

Even Budoy was also our classmate in elementary school. Budoy didn't even want to believe me but I slapped him with Rhex's medals and a certificate that showed his average so he agreed, he was like a medal person because of his brother's medals tattooed on his cheeks.

"Oh, you're already there," Levi said when he saw us enter the door.

"Oh no Big Brother, these are impostors! Mac and Zac are still at school. We tied them to the flagpole so you can't see."

"Tsk. Shut up, Mac," Zac scolded and covered my mouth.

"Haha, you're really bad, youngest," Rhex said laughing as he twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand. Cool!

"Brothers, I have something to say. It's important and you need to know because it's your right," Zac said seriously and it was obvious from his face that he was serious.

"How important is that, Zac, and are you serious? You only get serious once in a while, so maybe what you say is important," Levi asked.

"It's very important, Brother," replied Zac.

"What now?" Rhex asked and seemed to be waiting for what Zac would say. Even I turned to him.

"So, it's brothers, it's about Mac," Zac began.

"Oh? Why me?"

"Zac didn't say anything yet, you can react right away," Levi scolded.

"Go ahead, Zac."

"Brothers, Mac is, wait, I'm hungry, I even have krimstick in my cabinet," said Zac, so...

"Bet really, Zac!" Levi was nice to him and hit him but only weakly, unlike my neck which is strong. Wow, that one is really stupid. The tendency to hang.

"Stupid, it's still pending," Rhex said and threw a paper at him. Zac frowned when it hit his nose.

"Hehehe, I'll be back later, brothers," Zac ran to his room and I sat next to Rhex and watched what he was doing.

Shit, I don't understand anything. All I see is math and I do not know that math.

"What's your brother saying, Mac? What's that about you? Have you done something stupid at school?" Levi asked curiously so I immediately raised my hands as if giving up.

"I'm aware of that, Big Brother. That's why it's just crazy, or maybe it's because you smelled itch. It's like you don't know Zac."

"Just make sure you don't do anything stupid, or I'll take your stickers," Levi threatened

"Brother, I'm not doing anything wrong."

A few moments later, Zac came out and changed his clothes, holding a chocolate cream stick. Thank you, this is the monkey that likes to hang.

"Oh? What's that, Zac?" Brother Levi asked and pulled Zac to sit next to him.

"So this is it, brother. It's Mac," he began, making me raise an eyebrow. What am I behind on this one?

"What is it, Mac? I'm going to attack you there again," said Levi and he was about to attack.

"Brothers, Mac is a young woman who hahaha," she held her stomach while laughing while the three of us looked at her without emotion.

What? This one is crazy. Maybe I need to prepare his things so that he can use them in the mental hospital he will enter.

"Tsk, crazy," Rhex whispered and put away his notebooks as he entered his room.

I must have lost my desire to do the assignment because of what Zac said. Well, it makes you lose your appetite when you are told something like that. It's like hanging around for a while but there's nothing to say.

"Mac, fix your twin, I think he's overdosed on krimstick," Levi whispered to me and went into his room.

How do I fix one? That needs to be mental and not me because I can't fix that.

"You know, Zac. It's just hunger, so just eat, and maybe somehow your brain will fill with air."

********

This is the day! Regional battle and Zac? According to him, until now he still ignores me even Levi and Rhex don't pay attention either because we ignored what he said. He said we left him alone and hurt his feelings. A fool knows a lot. He said nothing.

Well, I'm probably a young woman, even if it's said that my path is a little crooked, I'm still a young woman. That's why he's crazy. He was the only one who understood what he said so we ignored what he said.

"Oh? You're still not paying attention? What's your problem? Maybe we can come up with a solution before our fight later," said Ram, still red from the strawberry lollipop he was eating.

I didn't speak because I knew the problem wasn't with me, if not with someone else.

"Because they are ugly, Ram, they hurt my feelings, they trampled on my ego, they tore and shredded my heart. Mac should apologize to me so that I can forgive her because I was hurt," he emotes so I just got bored, the art. I won't say sorry to him because I didn't do anything to him. What is he, a woman that needs to court?

"Damn. What's up, Zac? What happened?" JV said laughing.

"Here it is, JV. It's because they're brothers, it's their fault why I'm acting like this. I just said that Mac is a young woman and I laughed out loud but they ignored me. Rhex entered his room with the notebook, like that also Levi and this Mac so it's their fault. They should apologize to me!" He whined and pouted, like a child.

"Damn you, Zac. You've stopped there and you're like a child. We didn't pay attention to what you said because I'm a young woman."

"I'm young too," he grunted and pouted again.

"I don't know about you, I guess you're just lacking in nurturing. Maybe Levi and Rhex made you drink coffee when we were kids, that's why you're like that."

"Aish, stop your fight, let's go and we'll be next," JV said.

"Wait, where is Lyndon? I haven't seen that one in a while."

"I'm here!" Someone behind us screamed so we both turned back and cursed at the same time.

"Shit!"

"Oh shit!" Zac slapped me cheaply. I just ignored it because my eyes were too focused on Lyndon.

"Whore!" Ram frowned and turned back.

"What the fuck!" JV screamed.

He even felt his forehead and seemed troubled. And why are we cheap? Because Lyndon is stupid. The crazy guy is still in his pajamas and has just woken up. Did he come here dressed like that? I don't think he even lathered or washed. His hair is still messy and there is a smear of saliva on the side of his mouth.

"Sorry, guys, I'm late, I had a good sleep," he said and yawned.

"Damn, Lyndon, fix yourself, let's get started," JV said. Lyndon scratched his head and went to CR. Good thing he had a bag with his things.

**********

"Hooorrrraaaayyyyyyy! Woooooooooo!"

"Yesssssss!"

Yes! We won! Yes, pals! We won! You think we won! Our opponent will recover but we will win! Man, wins!

"Guys, I'm free. Let's eat!" JV screamed happily so we screamed, they say pres are free and when they're free, of course, it's delicious and not to be missed.

We went to a restaurant and ate there. Delicious. I even wanted to wrap it to take home to my brother, but it was so delicious that we finished it right away.

"Guys, I didn't think we would win," Ram said while holding the glass.

"Yes, it's great," said JV.

"Congratulations to us, guys!" We raised the glass of juice and drank together.

It doesn't include alcohol because we're both underaged. After we ate and had dinner with him, we went home. We were on our way home when we met them. What are they doing here? It's late at night.

"Mac..." Jerk called so I looked at him closely.

"Oh!? What do you need? It's late, go home and maybe they're looking for you."

"Can I talk to you?" He asked and looked serious

"Okay, Zac you go first."

"Uyyy, Zhyro is what we're talking about ahh," Zac reminded Jerk and left, his two friends also left so it was just the two of us left. What can we talk about it?

"What are we going to talk about?"

"I just wanted to tell you something."

"What now?"

He sighed and closed his eyes. I looked at him wondering, what's wrong? Are you going crazy? After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and looked at me seriously.

"Oh? What is it?"

"Mac, I just want you to know that... I love you. Mac, I love you"
