Chapter 4 - 4. Delivery Box

AYESHA POV

"Hey little sis, did you even sleep? You look like a panda" my brother, all dressed in white, greeted me. He was wearing a jacket, but this time it was a different one.

I glared at him, my right eye twitching. F*ck, can't he see I'm sleep-deprived?

"Okay okay I'm going to shut up"

Guess a single glare works, or else I'd stab him with this fork.

My head is killing me. I fell asleep at 4 AM because of that crappy book, and I stillt have half left. Feeling like I'll sprout wings from all the reading. I should just burn it.

"Little sis—" I threw a death glare when he suddenly spoke out of nowhere. He won't shut up even for a second. My head is throbbing so bad 8t making me so irritated.

"Chill!! I didn't even say a single word"

You never say anything good.

"Dad's coming home tonight" he said, making me stop eating. Ohh really? Done flirting in Russia, huh? What does he want us to do, throw a welcome party? B*llsh*t

"And?" I said lifelessly, stabbing the hotdog on my plate.

Who cooked this? Half burnt, half raw?

"What and?Of course we'll pick him up from the airport" he said, frowning.

Doesn't he get out of the airport if we're not there?

"Pass, I have stuff to do" I refused, standing up and grabbing my bag.

"Ayesha" he called out, but I ignored him and headed straight to his car. Bad enough I'm awake, now this. He has two feet, he can get home himself. Trying to be so extra.

After a minute, he arrived. I didn't talk to him until we got to school. I knew he'd just say something I'd hate, so I didn't want to hear it.

As I got out of the car, he had another thing to say. "Ayesha, you should learn to forgive. It's been a long time" Kuya said seriously. I just rolled my eyes and walked into school.

Forgive? Tsk do i look like an idiot to do that after I've witnessed 10 years ago?? Forgive my ass

When I got to the classroom, I plopped down in my seat and bent my head down, my head was hurting so bad. "My head's about to explode from the pain" I said, almost tearfully, massaging my head.

"Ayesha, what's wrong with you? Looks like you didn't sleep. Your eye bags are huge" Mica plopped down in front of me, even though she's supposed to sit up front.

"Our crazy prof, made me summarize three books. And guess what? Those books were super thick" I complained, still massaging my head.

"You shouldn't have called him crazy, you know he's super serious when it comes to his pet projects" she said, chuckling while shaking her head.

I don't know if she's joking or what, I wanna slam this book at her.

I feel like I'm gonna grow wings from reading and summarizing this d*mn book.

"Next time, if you're gonna daydream, make sure your mouth is taped shut so no words come out of it" she said with a teasing grin. I glared at her which only made her laugh.

"Ha. Ha. so funny" I said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and gently slammed my head on my desk. Damn, I think I need meds.

While I was resting, an annoying voice called my name "Ayesha". Stevan faced us, his hair was a mess and his eyes were bloodshot. His face, which was basketball-ideal yesterday, now looked like a panda's. He kinda looked like Dora, all disheveled with that wolf cut hair.

"Pfftt hahahaha what's wrong with you Stevan, you look like you've been beaten up hahahaha" Mica said, laughing her head off.

Woah, even I was surprised, who would've thought he actually did the summarization?

"Tsk, I didn't sleep last night, my mom found out I got detained" he said, looking grumpy.

"Oh! What did auntie do to you?"

"I almost got beaten up, good thing I said I had to summarize three books to pass Prof Lei's subject" he said, yawning as he moved to sit with us.

"I was planning to play ML all night and sleep, but I was watched via CCTV. She said if I didn't do it, she'd kick me out, so I had no choice" he said, rubbing his eyes and looking at me.

"Nice eyebags you've got there" he said with a smirk, looking at me.

Like he doesn't have big eyebags himself.

"I'm so ashamed of my eyebags with yours huh?" I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.

Haiyst, my head's still throbbing. "Mica, do you have meds for a headache?" I looked at her, almost tearing up.

She shook her head and said, "Try the clinic, maybe they have some".

"By the way Ayesha, let's go, we still have to get something behind the school" Stevan reminded me, making my headache worse. F*ck, I totally forgot that crazy prof gave us an errand.

"Ahh, I'd rather sleep, can't it be later?" I whined, my face still buried in the table.

I think I'll faint if I walk and carry heavy stuff

"Prof. said it's okay" Stevan said, suddenly I perked up

"Really!!!?"

"But just so you know, your grade in his subject will be blank" I glared at him. Jerk!! This guy, thinks he's funny. I'll knock your teeth out, still smiling like that

"Hey, where are you guys going?" Oh, so Mica's here, I thought she went back to her seat.

"Prof Lei's sending us to the back of the school, we're supposed to get something and bring it to the science lab" Stevan explained.

"I'll come"

••••••At the back of the school•••••••

"Good morning" two guys wearing caps greeted us, dressed in Lalamove uniforms. One of them was holding a not-so-big box.

"Oh, good morning. Are you guys the ones Mr. Lei sent to pick up a package?" one of the delivery guys asked.

Seriously, he sent us two for this tiny box? Is Prof. for real?

"Yes, that's us. Is this all we need to bring to the lab?" Stevan asked.

"No, there's more inside. We just took this one out 'cause it's really fragile, so be careful with it, okay?"

...WHAT THE F*CK*NG H*LL!!!!

"Uhmm guys, I'm going back to the room, I still have something to do—" before Mica could escape, I pulled her by the collar. "Nope, you've decided to join us, so you'll suffer with us too" I said with a wide grin. She looked at me pleadingly, but I didn't budge.
