Just Be You

Avis Residence...

⟪Zexus⟫

Alexis lay on the table, with dazed eyes while crying and her hair was messy. She doesn't even change her school uniform. She looks like a dead fish.

"Mom! Alexis is dead!" Jokingly shouted. My mother only throws a death glare at me, which I shrug off.

Alexis has really become our clown in the house. She's transparent and quite obedient, that sometimes you want to throw her out. I lightly kicked her.

Disgusting.

"Hey, you dead?"

"Mom! Zexus kic---hmmppp!!!" This little brat!

"I will give you money!"

And she nodded and disgustingly wiped my hands on her uniform.

"10 bucks!"

"You!"-- "Then I will tell mom you kick me!" This little disgusting thief knew how to rob people. I got my wallet and gave her the money and she became quite lively again. Only the three of us are left in the house on weekdays during working hours.

Our family is quite stable as dad has a law firm and my brother works under our father. Mom is a well known chef and often holds her class at home. Which is quite nice, making our house not so solemn except when Alexis is not in the mood. Our house is like a club, loud music and so many soda drinks and dance crazily in the living room. Mom never restrains her, so it's good that she did it inside the house rather than outside or else we will break her legs.

"So what happened?" I asked her why she was crying.

"I want to change schools." Frowning at her.

"Did some bully you?" I asked, but I quickly changed it. "Did you kill your target? That's quite, out below the belt." After all, she's an Avis, so it's quite hard to believe that someone would dare to bully her. That's quite an insult to us as her brother.

"If I killed someone I wouldn't go home and cry. I will quickly surrender at the police station so they can't beat me or act like crazy so the sentence won't be long." She's really an Avis. Quite proud.

"Then tell me why do you want to change schools?" It wasn't hard to change her school and help her with her tuition.

"It's just..." She scratched her cheeks and nape quite hesitating.

"Stop beating around the bush or I will beat you!" My patience is quite short and we can only blame our father because he passes his temper to us.

"Who will you hit?" and felt throbbing in my head. Looking at mom's spatula. So painful.

"I just don't want to go to science school anymore. It's quite complicated for me. Everyone's telling me I don't have the same brain as my brother. I don't want to pursue something that isn't suited for me."

I turned to my sister. She was about to cry but still managed to be stubborn about her esteem. One thing I know for sure is she's pressured because of us, her brothers. Rhys is quite talented at everything, as it was a package in him; the older, the responsible and a great leader, but stubborn and wanted to prove that he was always right during his years. For me, I only study to attract the bees. I love women the most because they are quite a zombie. Attracted to a brainy guy and lucky to inherit our mother's beauty, which is a plus point for me.

When Alexis was born, we were happy and let her know many things. She's quite a brainer. Mom told us that we brothers started speaking and learning at the age of 5. While Alexis only learnt after 1 year and a half months. But the problem is she's quite easily distracted by everything as she became a explore type person. Wanting to know everything and once she's done, she will throw it away and never see it again.

"You big head go continue my work." Mom said and passed the spatula to me. I didn't refuse. After all, mom can only fix her bad side. Maybe being brainy at a young age will make you emotionally drained when you get older.

"Alexis talked to mom. Where did you hear that?" Putting Alexis in my arms and my eyes turned cold as I asked her the question.

"Everyone told me about it. I just don't want to learn like my brother and get compared." She answered straight and her tears started to flow. Those sh#t heads!

"Alexis you listen to me. I'm your mother and know you best! Those idiots don't know who you are, they only judge you just to bring you down. If you listen to them, this will be a triumph for them. You are smart and beautiful, that is proven. Just look at those big-headed brothers of yours and look at your father. He is a law firm owner and you are mom's daughter who is beautiful enough that I would almost become a representative of the worldwide beauty pageant. Beauty and brain, if your father didn't ask to marry me that time."

My youth!!! If only that bastard asked me after my pageant where already a billionaire. Hmpp!

"Then do you regret it?" My child asked me. I brushed her hair and answered no.

Even though my youth is short, I'm quite happy in this life. Joey treats me well and the child. He never cheated on me as he was a fool to his daughter and me.

"There's nothing to regret in life, Alexandra. You just have to enjoy the outcome of your choice and never listen to those small-minded people. It's your life and we were only here to guide you and support you. Falling and failing is alright, it means you are taking a step and not giving up on everything. You have to stand firm on what you want to be in the future. Just take a small step so it will be easy in the future." Telling her this was quite a good choice as she was still feeling lost in her track. Everyone also suffers from this kind of thing. Even those 3 boys that I had.

"But mom, my grades are not good. They applied me to a cram school program." She said, which makes my neck hurt a little.

"Oh! You are?" Acting like a soft mom in surprise.

"Yeah, they are planning to kick me out of school but Ms. Mariano saved me and applied me to cram school." She said innocently,"

I can't retort because my neck would be broken if I tried to listen to this girl.

They really got Joey's genes, so stressful!
