Chapter 12

KATH

When I came down, Daniel turned to me, "How long have you been here? What happened to them?" he asked while his gaze was still focused on what he was watching.

"Nothing. They said that they're planning projects, but if I know, you're their target again. Just keep your eyes open," I said but he just laughed at me, "You dared to laugh which my siblings might kill you right now."

"Let them be. It's up to them if they hurt me as long as I'm with you now," he returned to watch, and in a few hours it was about six o'clock and I noticed that my siblings had not come down yet.

I looked and Daniel was sleeping very soundly next to me so I smiled and kissed him on the forehead. I got up and went to the Kitchen to cook dinner as well. Anytime, mom will come back because she texted earlier that she can't continue her overtime.

I don't think anything bad will happen to Daniel today so I went to the Kitchen.

CAMILLE

We waited for the right time to carry out the plan and I saw that my sister Kath had left! Alas, when my sister is in the kitchen, you won't be able to see her leave that place and I see that Daniel is asleep.

"Prepare the make-up kit!" I whispered to Sandra and nodded and prepared the make-up kit. I am the make-up expert! If Sandra is good at shaving, Nicole in the wallet or pick-pocket, Jeremy in the crazy apple ... Well, I’m the make-up expert!

"Come on and let's hurry before he wakes up and maybe Kath will come back," I whispered and immediately took the materials and started as well.

"Oh, it'll be a real surprise when he wakes up! He will be no longer Daniel, she'll be Daniella," we all laughed but only weakly so that he wouldn't wake up. He slept very well! HAHAHHAHA

I quickly put make-up all over Daniel's face while my sister, Kath is busy as of now. After a little while, I am done!


"Done!
Give me the phone!" I took his cellphone and he had a password but I took his fingers to open with his fingerprint, "For a souvenir."


We quickly took photos and the five of us did a group photo with our new creation, Daniella.


"Hey, send that pic to his friends," Nicole suggested so I chose his friends on the messenger and passed it on.
I know all of Daniel's friends so that's okay!


LUZ 

When I got home, I saw the house was quiet but I knew that someone was cooking in the Kitchen. As I passed through the living room, I saw a figure of a man sleeping on the sofa. It's not a woman and I know from the posture that it's a man.


"Is that Daniel?
" I asked myself but I approached it and looked


"HOLY GAY!
"


I saw Kath run quickly from the Kitchen and still holding a ladle, "You're home, mom.
Why are you shouting?"


I couldn't say anything but the only thing I knew was the person lying on the sofa, "Who's this?
He is like a gay?"


"That's Daniel!
Look, he's just sleeping -- OH GIDDY-GAY!"


"What about gay?
" I was surprised when it suddenly spoke and I was right, Daniel but why is he wearing some make-up? "Oh hey, auntie Luz! You're home already."


"Daniel?!
What happened to your face? You're all --" Kath asked full of astonishment.


He stood up and was a little surprised, "What's with my face?
Wait -- OH! That's scary gay!" he said and pointed to the window when he didn't know that part was glass.


"Umm, that's your reflection, Daniel," Kath replied so Daniel immediately rushed to the bathroom.


"UGH!
I LOOK LIKE A GAY!"


Kath looked at me worriedly, "Did you see that, mom?
I told you! Those five brats are really bad! UGH!"

KATH

After a while, Daniel came out from the bathroom and I saw that his face had been cleaned, "I've already washed my face. Gosh, I fell asleep and didn't even notice."


Kath sighed, "Babe, I'm so sorry!
I thought --"


"Shh," he said and zipped my mouth, "It's nothing.
That was just their pranks on me."


"Oh, I'm really sorry, Daniel," mommy's defense pleaded, "Come on.
Let's eat dinner."


Daniel followed us and after we ate, he went home immediately.
About my siblings, I don't have the energy to scold them.

DANIEL

The next day, I went to school but I couldn't really resist the insults of my friends because of the message sent by Kath's siblings, my face full of make-up. Ugh!

I really look like a gay on that photo! The make-up isn't bad because Camille is so good about it, she can transform you but it's just annoying because I've been the one discarded!


"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
That's terrible, bro! I thought you and Kath had a make-out session, it turns out that it was a make-up session!" Rick laughed as he still held his stomach he couldn't breathe funny.


"Seriously, what is that ?!
You didn't say you were gay! Poor Kath!" even Earl was severely ridiculed.


I looked at them but they continued to tease and laugh, "I didn't do that, okay?!
Kath's siblings did and pranked me again."

"Maybe they'll think you're Kath's sister and then you'll propose to her all of a sudden," Rick joked again and still laughs until now.


"How did you handle such a situation, bro?
I mean, aren't you having a hard time? If I'm still like that, I'll give up on that, pre," John said suddenly. I rolled my eyes. If I have known that John has a girlfriend and plus a single mother.


I sighed, "To be honest, I'm also struggling and irritated with this situation.
I'm just a human being but I just don't know why I was able to handle all this," I said, "You know me, guys. I didn't like wasting my time for a woman and so I was able to handle it all because I can't afford to lose Kath. I love her so much because she is her. She gave me the sparks and the love I can't give to anyone. "


When I said that word they stopped what they were doing and seriously looked into my eyes, "I salute you, Daniel Elizalde!
It's good then and you're ready to fight. Well, it's really necessary! Don't lose hope! You are Daniel Elizalde, after all," said Princess and smiled slightly more.


I just smiled because even though they laughed at me, they could also help me with something good.
They can laugh, but I know they are my true friends.

CAMILLE

"That Daniel is really annoying!"

"There's nothing we can do! It's dangerous! It looks like Kath is so in love with him. I haven't seen my sister so attached and so happy. We should be doing the things to make her happy, not others," I said and sighed remembering that we already had a rival to our sister's attention, and it's no other than Daniel!


“No other man can enter our sister's room before, ever!
But he? That's so much courage of him! We need more plans, guys! Let's not let our sister really fall for him!" Jeremy said obviously stunned. We all agreed with what he said.


"We have to be extreme so that they can really separate and never come back to our sister's life," I added but I noticed that our youngest, Rafael was just quiet on the side.
Why is that? It's kind of new because Raffy is the number one talkative among us!


"Are you with us, Raffy?
" Jeremy asked him, seemingly noticing what he was doing.


"Let's stop this," Raffy told us, "I like Daniel for Kath.
"

"What the heck?! No way! We have to destroy Kath and Daniel! We made a promise!"


Raffy sighed, "Grow up, please.
We can't just control Kath's life forever. She has her own decisions, too. Her world doesn't revolve around us and our mom forever. She needs to be happy."


"She's happy when we're with her, right?
" I asked Raffy, kind of hurt because this is the first time we don't get along on anything else. We never fought about everything because we have the same vibes, but this Rafael right now is different.


"But not all the time she will be happy with us.
That is not enough, she needs a man who will love her unconditionally. And that man is Daniel, I know that h loves her so much."


"I can't believe you!
" I shouted and immediately left the room. I have to add Rafael to our plans. We can't lose Raffy, too!

KATH

"Kath, what are your plans for tonight? It's Saturday tomorrow, isn't it?" Daniel asked but I frowned more when I remembered I was not free.


"I can't go out because Jessiah and I are busy.
We have to finish the project because it has to be submitted on Monday."


"Oh, okay.
Take your time and maybe later, I'll just bond with Rick," I smiled at him.


This is one of my favorites with Daniel Elizalde.
He is very understanding especially in situations like this so I fell in love with him even more.


I noticed that my phone was vibrating, signaling that someone had called so I took it and looked at the Caller ID and it was mom.
This must be important so I answered right away.


"Hello, mom?
Why did you call all of a sudden?"


"Hello, sweetie?
I can't go home now. Actually, I can go home on Sunday so maybe you can watch your siblings first?" after she said that, my eyes widened.


"What?!
But mom! Didn't I tell you that my friend and I need to finish something? I can't do that while I'm taking care of them."

"Maybe you can ask Daniel to take care of them first?" mom seemed to be skeptical but she still said it.


No.
No. NO. That is a bad idea!


"Mom!
You know what happened last night, don't you? I don't want to cause any more trouble!"

"I'm really sorry, Kath. I have to ung up, I'm still busy," and the call actually dropped me off, just now!


"Fuck shit.
"

"Oh, why? What happened? Why do you look so annoyed? What did your mom says?" Daniel asked worriedly.


"She said that she can't come home and we have to do a project!
How can I do that if I take care of them and stay at home?"

"Is that project really important?" he asked so I nodded and gasped.


"Yes, it's very important.
It's fifty percent of our grade. If we don't pass this, Jessiah and I might fail in that subject."


"Okay, I have an idea.
I'll take care of your siblings tonight. Well, I'll do everything for you."


My eyes widened, "No.
You know what they can do to you, don't you? Babe--"

"Shh. Everything will be fine. I will be fine, I promise," he said and he even kissed me on the forehead. I could do nothing and agreed to what he wanted

DANIEL

Right now, I am in front of Kath's gate and I am so freaking nervous! I can't believe I'm right here again and the worse part of this story is that I AM ALL ALONE WITH THE FIVE SWEET BRATTY KIDS.


I never wanted to do this, but I have to.
I love Kath, but she needs this for her project.
