Capítulo 8: Homework

It was 8:30 am the next morning which was Sunday that I finally woke up. I groaned as a I rolled out of bed. My body ached all over no doubt from the weird sleeping position I was in. I saw George on the floor and bent to pick him up.

"You poor poor thing" I cooed as I dusted him off and placed him back on the bed

My type 4 hair that was in a bun the previous night was now a birds nest. Good thing today was wash day for I don't know how I would be able to tame this crazy hair. I swear it has a mind of its own.

Are they sure that my daiquiri was a virgin? I felt like I drank a bottle of Soju. My head pounded as I stumbled into my bathroom. The warm water was inviting and it soothed my pounding head and aching muscles a little. I still needed an aspirin.

I exited the shower and got some clothes on after moisturizing and dropping my dirty close in the hamper. I brushed my teeth and applied some moisturizer to my face. I'm so glad I have good skin or I would be breaking out from not washing my face last night.

I entered my room and heard a strange noise. What is that? I thought as I followed the sound through the door. Is Harin vacuuming? This I gotta see.

I was right. It was a sight to behold. The poor little girl was fighting the vacuum and the vacuum clearly won. I decided to put her out of her misery and cleared my throat signaling my presence.

"You look like shit. Rough night?" she asked smirking.

"I don't think my daiquiri was a virgin last night" I said groaning and rubbing my head.

"Did I wake you?" she asked still wrestling the vacuum.

"No" I replied going over to her to give her hand, "I was already up. Now why are you fighting with the poor vacuum?"

I switched it off and placed it to the side.

"That right there is no vacuum" she said pointing an accusing finger to the poor inanimate object.

"It is a robot from space sent to destroy us all" she said with her chest as if she is some kind of hero in the Sci Fi movies.

I looked over at the vacuum then looked back over to her, "Yeah no more Transformers for you" I said shaking my head.

"Trust me it is evil, evil I say" she said in a weird voice.

She's so crazy. My fault for letting her watch American movies. Probably would have been best to stick to good old romance Kdrama.

"Why were you vacuuming any way?" I asked as I drank a cup of ready made coffee which was very suspicious hmmm.

"Well I woke up this morning with a burst of energy so I not only vacuumed but I made the coffee, I did the remaining laundry, dried and folded. Ouu I also organized the couch see" she said pointing to the couch.

I eyed her suspiciously and she smiled. Being tired of her obvious attempts of trying to butter me I told her to get out with it.

"Why would you think I want something from you?" she gasped.

"Alright fine" I said placing my empty mug in the sink.

"Wait? Okay fine I do need something" she said twisting her arms.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Well you see I have this assignment that is due tomorrow and I totally forgot but hear me out I have a good reason" she begged.

I sighed and rolled my eyes and gestured for her to go on.

"The thing is. Well I- okay I have no excuse but could you do it for me pretty please?" she made a puppy dog face and as if that wasn't enough she got down on her knees pleading.

"Okay" I said shrugging.

"Really?" she asked jumping off the floor.

"Sure" I confirmed, "but dinner is on you for the entire month" I stated.

She got up off the floor and jumped into my arms.

"I'll love you forever and ever and ever and eve-"

"Okay I got it" I said as I rolled my eyes at her childish behavior.

I would have done it for free. I had nothing better to do and I had already completed the syllabus so her assignment would be as easy as Sunday morning.

"When is the due date?" I asked prying her hands from around me.

I wasn't a touchy feeling person so I hated hugs. Harin on the other hand loved hugs and cuddles and she sometimes attacks me with them. She is stronger than she looks.

"Yeah here's the thing it's sort of tomorrow" she said twisting her arms.

"Tomorrow?!" I exclaimed.

She smiled trying to ease my anger, "Yup so you better get started now. By the way what do you want for lunch? On me of course."

Food sounded nice as long as she is paying.

Thinking what my stomach would like I suggested, "Pizza."

"Got it. I'll order bread sticks and fried chicken Incase you need to burn the mid night oil" she said walking into her room.

I swear one day her room is going to be a crime scene. She returned from her room with a pile of books and plopped them in front of me smiling, "I think this is it."

She has such perfect teeth. I wanted to punch her so bad in them. They'd look prettier with blood stains.

I sighed as took up the first book. Acquiring a Law degree is no easy task. It requires a lot of reading, time and brain capacity. I liked the law course. It was fun to learn of big cases and even the small ones' history. It was interesting to see how the minds of great lawyers worked and how convincing they are. I wish to be among one of the greats someday.

Harin looked at my love struck face after pausing her typing on her phone. "Umm not to sound rude but you look like a nerd geeking over books."

I felt offended and saw the need to correct her misconception, "I am not a nerd just smart. There's a difference, and it is this 'Nerd' that will get your assignments done in time for tomorrow" I said going back to the pages.

"True. I want my report to sound smart but not like smart smart. I want people to actually believe I wrote it you know but also I want like a good enough grade. Make it believable" she said not looking up from her phone.

"Yes I know. I have done your homework before" I said in a duh tone.

She replied with an air kiss and went straight back to her phone. I swear one I will have to accidentally wash it in the washing machine I thought and I could feel a big grin appear on my face. Looks like wash day is delayed for I have a lot of work ahead of me. I sighed as I began typing up my dearest friends assignment. The things you do for the people you love.
