“Wake up, Tyrone James. It’s four thirty already.” I whispered.
Might it be that you were wondering why I was waking him up this early? No, we would not study, we would be exercising. He needed a healthy body for a healthy mind. By the way, I didn’t use the stairs. I crossed to his balcony like a thief. This was my strategy, don’t judge. I also told him not to lock the door yesterday. I was only wearing shorts and a white shirt.
Wrong! Why did I wear a white shirt?!
“Ah, you don’t want to?” I put my phone over his ear and…
“Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Woooo—,"
”Fine, I’m getting up already. Too loud,” Tyrone inserted a finger to one of his ear and sat. What a miracle, he was not hard to wake up today. Well, I hadn’t allowed him to play and told him to sleep early.
I smiled. “Good. Are you ready?”
He nodded and changed his clothes. We slowly descended and got outside, we jogged first around the subdivision, even meeting a few people like Sir Ernesto and Grandpa Bart. Sir Ernesto was the guard that was roaming the subdivision while Grandpa Bart was one of the few that had large houses here.
“Too early, ah?” Grandpa Bart commented, he was wearing jogging outfit. Yup, he was jogging every morning. Haha! If you saw his house, it was big and super beautiful! Well, the houses here in the subdivision were all beautiful. Hmm.
After we finished a round, we went to the basketball court of the subdivision. It was also beautiful, but it deserted. I’d sometimes come if I was not busy.
“The goal of yours is revenge. But before that, you should start at your present situation. What are you?”
“Human.”
“What type of human?
He shrugged. “You, what type of animal are you?”
“Damn, be compliant! You’re a student. STUDENT! Not only a student. Super duper lazy student who doesn’t have direction in life.”
“Ah, okay.” He yawned.
“First of all, what do you want to be?” I asked.
“I don’t know.”
I closed my eyes and sighed. “Fine. From now on, think of it seriously since entrance exams are nearing. Okay? Decide what degree program you want to take.”
He gave a nod that seemed too lazy.
“Where do you want to study?”
“Anywhere.”
I closed my eyes and sighed again. “Fine, for now, from anywhere you passed.” I paused for a while. “Hmm. Have you read the concept map?”
He nodded.
“Good I also made a schedule from Monday to Sunday. You can do anything every Friday and Saturday night, except partying and drinking, since I am in ballet practice every Saturday but when Sunday comes, back to self-control. That schedule will only be gone if you could control and discipline yourself. Clear?”
“Yes, coach.” Lazily, he replied.
“Good. You should also follow everything I command for all of it would be for your greater good. Are we clear?”
“Clear, coach!”
“Instead of playing unproductive games like DOTA, try to play sports like basketball, etcetera. Exercise more! Athletic men with good built are more attractive to girls like Synthia. Okay?”
“Okay, coach!”
“If that is so, then let’s go play basketball!”
