NOW YOU SEE ME?

"Alex", is someone calling me? I look around but couldn't see anyone. "Alex! " the voice sounds familiar but.... I still have no idea whose calling me. Ughhh! "Alex! get your ass up! You're gonna be late for school." school? late? The next thing I knew I was faced down on the cold tiled floor. I sprinted up, trying to balance myself on my feet, looking for the suspect. Daniel was standing by my bed side with his hand folded on his chest looking unimpressed. "Dannie, Why would you do that ? Why are you trying to kill me this early in the morning? If you don't love me then just tell me. Trying to kill someone in their sleep is so not cool. I'm still too young to...." Daniel cuts me of before I could continue . "Good morning to you too pumpkin, sorry that you misunderstood me trying to wake you up in the morning to get ready for school because' I love you' sooo much, as trying to kill you..." " You could've just woke me up like a normal person." I retorted back picking up the plackets from the floor. " Are you serious? Al, I've been calling you for the past half n hour and you wouldn't even budge. I'm pretty sure grandpa Sione heard me all the way from his grave." he said walking out the door ." Oh, and breakfast is ready" he called out. Daniel is my adoptive father, his mate Pita found me by a river when I was still a baby and they decided to adopt me since they cant have a kid of their own. I love them so much. They are my world . I went in to my bathroom and spent a good 30 minutes in there getting ready. When I was done , I strode down the staircase going straight to the kitchen where the heavenly smell was coming from. Pita was sitting on a stool with a medical book in his hand and a cup of coffee on the other. Daniel was by the stove finishing off his cooking. "Morning Dad" I said making my way to the table. I always call Pita 'Dad' cause he is the man of the house and Daniel 'Dannie', because it just fits his cute personality and Pita agrees with me. "Morning, pumpkin " Dad says with a smile, putting down the book. " Why do you guys keeps calling me pumpkin? I'm a person not a vegetable." I asked looking annoyed. Who calls their 17 year old son a vegetable? "Al sweetie, pumpkins are fruits not vegetables." Dannie says chuckling, setting the plates in front of me and dad, who was laughing at my stupidity by the way. How was I supposed to know that it was a fruit? " Still the same thing" I said while playfully glaring at them. We talked for a while and Dannie dropped me off at school, the one and only place that I dread the most. I gave Dannie a peck on the cheeks goodbye and make my way up to the front . ' Just one more year' I said to no one in particular but myself, as I make my way in to the school.
