I was sent back home. Dr. Gerald said it would be like a vacation. But I knew better. I'm screwed unless they find evidence of my innocence.
I had no choice but to trust Dr. Harper though, I needed to be patient and wait for his call, I couldn't get suspended in my senior year, not when I have been the top student all these previous years.
Anyway.
Since I am not okay with my parents finding out about my current situation at University, I had no choice but to stay the first two weeks at somewhere where my I won't have to encounter my parents too much, since I'm not very good at lying to my parents.
Okay. I'm actually very bad at lying to my parents. And telling them about my little problem will make them even worry more about me.
So here I was knocking on the door of Jessie's apartment, hoping I can clear my mind while I stay here and wait for my professors' to call me.
After knocking just once, the door cracked open and I'm suddenly engulfed in a very tight hug, I don't see the attacker's face but I'm hundred percent sure this person hugging me is none other than Rachel.
"Oh my god, Nathan. I missed you... I missed you... I missed you..."She kept saying. I smiled to myself, she most doesn't change I guess, she's the same as she was since I last left to Florida.
"I missed you too, girl" I mumble, she pulls away slowly, then I'm able to glance at her face, she had dye her hair (again) red, otherwise she looks pretty as always.
"Come in" She says, while reaching out for my luggage, it's too heavy for her but she still manages to carry it inside, of course moaning and grunting all the while she's dragging it along with her.
I chuckle, and follow her inside. I haven't been here that much, but I remember the apartment was very tidy and cosy when I was here, since Jessie liked to tidy her apartment, she was very organized, even more than me, to the point of being annoying.
But the state of the apartment was not that good at the moment, Rachel's books and some other papers were all over the place.
The kitchen's condition was not that good too, there were dirty dishes in the sink, spilled coffee on the table, and don't even let me talk about how the oven looked.
"Umm... Why is it so messy here?" I ask, Rachel hands me a cup of Nescafé, which I gladly take. Then sits down on the chair opposite to me with another cup in her hand.
"Well, my exams are right after the Christmas holiday, and in studying for them" Rachel said as she started to drink her Nescafé "I don't have time to do housework, or even tidy my own room"
"I'm not surprised" I mutter under my breath, she glares at me, so I press my lips into a think, trying hard to not to smile.
"Why did you come back this soon though? I thought you guys were busy with research and stuff like that?" She asked, I managed to have a blank expression and stare right at her eyes when I lied to her.
"I just missed my family, is that a crime?" I said.
"Are you saying that you took permission?!" She asked sounding surprised.
"I did"
Rachel's jaw nearly dropped to the floor, so I put my finger under her chin and pushed it upwards.
"You... never take permission. Even when you got sick" she mumbles, I sigh and close my eyes from frustration, I seriously have had enough stress already, I can't take it anymore.
"Are you not happy to see me?" I asked her as calmly as I could manage, it worked since she shrugged and smiled at me.
"Of course I'm happy to see you" She exclaimed "Will you stay with me and Jessie this time while you're in town?"
"For now yes" I replied and thankfully she dropped the subject.
"Cool" Rachel said happily and looked at me adoringly.
I finished drinking the cup of Nescafé, and put it in the sink beside all the other dirty dishes, Rachel brought her empty cup too and put it in the sink.
I opened the water tap, grabbed the sponge and put some dish soap on it, then I started washing the dishes one by one.
"Aaahhh... My big brother is back to being cool" Rachel said and giggled.
She used to tell me I'm girl's type, I didn't know that love has types too.
Not the sarcasm.
"Well... You aren't trying to be any cool, so someone must try don't you think?" I said with raised eyebrows. She blushed from embarrassment and muttered something under her breath I didn't quite understand.
"Where's Jessie?" I asked,
"She's probably with Emma, studying for her coming exam" She answered.
"I see" I mutter as I continue washing the dishes. Soaking, scrubbing, then rinsing.
I continue doing that, until all the dishes are clean and bright, then I grab a piece of clothing and smell it to check if it's clean, Rachel rolls her eyes and tells me it's clean. So I start drying the dishes with the cloth.
"Did you tell Dave to do my report?" Rachel asks out of nowhere.
" I didn't tell him. He offered and I accepted" I replied, grabbing one of the cups next to dry.
"Why?"
"What do you mean why? He's a good person that's why"
"He's not"
"He is , Rachel. Just because someone is not good looking, it doesn't mean they're bad people"
"He is stupid, lazy, and a loser"
"He is one of the top three students, his name comes right after mine, and you call him stupid?"
Rachel bites her lip and is quiet for a few seconds, she opens her mouth to reply but I interrupt her.
"What about you, Rachel? You don't even do your own reports. I think you should rethink about the person who is the loser"
My sister looked hurt, but I didn't take back my words. I just defended my friend, and not my sister, I'm fully aware of that. But Rachel needs to change the way she thinks and sees people. If me and my parents keep being kind to her, she'll keep getting spoiled.
Even more spoiled than she already is.
Dave is not stupid, or lazy, or a loser. He's kind, he's being called stupid because he's naive, and has the purest and kindest heart which most people don't have.
Dave is simple. Unlike the majority of the world's people.
Dave offered to do Rachel's report because he is kind, not because he's stupid. While my parents are somehow rich, we can afford to live happily and just the way we want. Dave only has his mother to support him. And their financial condition is not that good. But Dave got a scholarship and is studying in the University of Florida, just like me. So he is most certainly not a lazy person too.
Rachel is very kind hearted, but she misunderstands and judges people very quickly and easily, despite her craziness and stupidity I still love her and will protect her no matter what.
