"Honey! Wake up! You're gonna be late! "

......

"Oh, you're not gonna wake up!? Wake up or I'll beat you up! "

*Smack!*

.....!! A stinging pain hit me, and I jolted.

"Ouch! M-Mom, I'm still sleepy. "

“Wake up and take a bath or you will be LATE! Why do I have to do this to wake you up!? You're already an adult! "

..... I kept snoring, I want to stay in my bed.

"This kid! You're not gonna wake up huh!"

"Tch, yes yes~, I'm gonna stand okay!"

Hello, it's me. Obviously, you don't have any idea who I am because I haven't given my name. I'm Mikael S. Tibano. 19 years old and I live in Dasmariñas, Cavite. I'm a student.

Anyway, I'm gonna take a shower real quick because I'm going to be late for school.

"Ma, the shampoo's gone. Could I get another one? "

"Here, just take it."

"Okay, okay"

I started showering...

"Brbrbrbr"

I made an onomatopoeia sound because of the cold water raining down on my skin. Damn, so cold. Cool water is the best remedy against drowsiness.

Now, let's get back to my story. I'm in grade 12 and I'm about to graduate. Oh, now that I realized why do I have to go to school? I already passed, I don't have any reason to go now.

"Mom, can I skip class? We don't have any lectures anyway."

"Are you crazy? Have you forgotten that you need to practice your graduation ceremony? Do you want to attend the graduation or not?"

" Yes, Ma, I'll go okay."

.....

....

...

"Where's your lunch? Don't forget it, okay?"

“It's already in the bag, Mom.”

Mom, do I look like a senior citizen? Of course, I'll remember it.

"Your ID don't forget it."

I sighed.

" yes Mom, I'm already wearing it... By the way, did Dad go to work early? "

"Of course your father is a hard-working man- not like you"

" Okay Mom, see you later."

I didn't listen to her and decided to get out.

" Be careful, okay."

This was the last conversation I have with my mother. If I have known that, at least I should have been more respectful.
