~Alex~

I walked back home and went inside.

"How was school, Honey?" Mom asked.

"Fine, I guess." I replied in an unenthusiastic way.

She frowned and continued to cook.

"Well, dinner will be ready soon, okay?"

"Yeah" Then I went up stairs to my room. I threw my bag on my bad and jumped on my messy bed as well. I had a lot of questions about Iris, what did she just do to me? and why did it hurt? I kept thinking, questions and thoughts ran around my mind.

She also cried, Why? I-I'll have to do everything to never make her cry. Then while I was thinking some deep thought in my room, mother knocked on the door.

"Alex? Are you in there?" She asked.

"Yeah Mom! What is it?"

"Someone payed you a visit!" She replied. I opened the door revealing my visitor. It was Iris.

"Iris?? What are you doing here?" I asked bashfully, shocked in her presence.

"I want to ask for your help."

"Huh? Oh! S-sure, come in." I let her in my room. I was embarrassed to let a girl in my room. A really messy room. "Iris, I'm sorry if my room's a little messy." Aw! This room isn't a little! It's completely messy.

"That's alright." She replied with a bright smile as she sat down my computer chair.

"So, what do you need help with?"

"Oh that, I need you to come with me to my house."

"You're house? What's the problem?" I asked. At a time like this, when the sun is nearly setting, why would a girl invite her friend to her house, and especially a boy.

"I need you to help me, Multiply........" She said soflty.

"Mu-Multiply??"

"Yes! Multiply and replicate!" She said cheerfully. The moment I heard the words, Her house, Multiply, replicate, Dirty things lingered in my mind that made me blushed uncontrollably.

"Why are you blushing?" She asked with a hint of suspicion.

"Well, Iris, you see? Uhm..........how can I thoroughly explain this to you........"

"Yeah?"

"Iris, uhm.......well, You and I are young, which makes it wrong for us to-"

"Let me stop you there and tell you, Alex! When I said multiply, I meant to help me make a painting of my garden, And what I meant by replicate is that to make it look like the real thing." She told me in a sassy and presidential way.

"O-oh! Is....t-tha-that what you meant??" I Blurted out.

"Yeah, What else did you think?" She asked innocently. Then she suddenly gasped loudly. "You thought of something dirty! Didn't you?!! You......Alex! What are you.....???"

"N-Nothing! Let's just go!" I said as I quickly stand up and pushed her out of the room and both of us rushed down stairs. I was hoping that we won't pass Mom, but She saw us go out.

"Alex! Have you no shame??" she suddenly blurted out.

"Have you no sha-?? Mom! stop watching those Shakespeare plays. they'll mess up your brain!" I Scolded.

"They don't mess up your brain!! Anyway..Ahem!..... Why are you pushing a girl?!"

"Well......Uhm......Mom! I'm really in a hurry bye!" Then I pulled Iris and we dashed away from my house as my mother shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Alex! Don't forget to buy a CD of it started with a kiss!"

"No Taiwan telenovelas mom!" I shouted back and she went back inside. After a long run, we finally arrived at Iris' house.

"We're here now. She told me." As she let's go of my hand and opens the door.

"Sorry for pulling you...." I said, embarrassed at the behavior I showed in front of her. Not only did I show a presentation of not being a gentleman, I've also portrayed the perverted side of me. I kinda heard from one anime that there are only TWO kinds of men, the first kind of guys are the open perverts who isn't a shamed of being one. The other is a closed pervert, who doesn't want to admit that he is one. Before I was a closed one, but now, that Iris knows.....I'm admitting That I am an open one!

"I'M AN OPEN PERVERT!!!!!" Then, realizing that I suddenly shouted that. I blushed and closed my mouth and looked away, hoping Iris didn't notice that.

"What?" She suddenly asked.

"What???" I acted.

"You shouted something, I think you said that you're an open per-" She said with pure suspicion in her tone, but before she could even finish I cut her off.

"O-oh that! I meant was...I'm an o......ope.....open....I'm an open person! yeah! I'm open to your feelings!" I said without thinking. I looked at her.

"Wow! Really? That's so sweet!" Then she turned her back on me, entering her house. Apparently, I kinda heard her saying "wow! And open person? That's my type!!" She said, and it kinda made me blush. How can I hear that well? We're atleast four feet away! Wow! My ears are so great!

We went upstairs and she opened a door.

"Come in!" She said cheerfully.

"What?? I-In your room??" I started to panic, what do I do?? No! I already became an open one! I wanna go back to being a closed one!

"Why?"

"Well, it's kinda wrong to..uh..."

"Like I told you there's nothing wrong with best friends being together in a room or a house or just doing stuff together." She lectured.

"Yeah! You're right, I'm sorry for being so self conscience."

"That's all right."

Then I entered her room, it was so clean! And I also saw a lot of Fairy's on the wall. They look so real!! Wow!

"Iris, what are those Fairy's? Who made them? It looks so real!"

She smiled.

"Oh! My mother and Father made them, it was fun too.....for them.....eh? Don't touch them, okay?"

"Sure!" I replied.

"Yeah, even my little brother made one of those. Long ago..."

"Really? You have an artistic family, don't you?"

"Yeah" she replied with a weird, nervous grin on her face.

"Why so nervous?" I asked as I walked closer to her.

"Nervous? Why nervous? Anyway! Let's start with the painting!" She suddenly shouted.

"Aaah! O-Okay! Sure!" I replied as I was startled by Iris looking left and right repeatedly.

"Let's go!" She said cheerfully. Ah, she's finally back to her normal self. She left the room and told me that she was just going to clean up her garden, I should take her canvas in the drawers below the shelves of Fairies.

I went closer to her drawer and I looked closely and poked it. It was soft. I remembered suddenly that I wasn't suppose to touch them. I went back to what I was ought to be doing. There was eight drawers, I looked at the first and it was full of her clothes, and because of that I quickly closed it, making a loud slam sound. I went to the second and it was full of sticks?? With all kind of shapes and colors. I closed it slowly, looking suspiciously at the hundreds of stacks of sticks in the drawer.
I continued to the third and nothing was there. I shrugged and went to the others, but the forth, fifth, sixth and seventh didn't have anything in them. And finally! I've reached the last one. I wish the canvas and pain brushes are there now. I opened it and It was there! Yay!! But then suddenly one of the modeled Fairy dropped in. I took it and up it on top of the drawer, hoping it won't fall.

I went to the garden and it was full of cute animals?? What kind of place is this?? There were so many rabbits, puppies, kittens, and two babay pandas??

"Iris! What's all this??"

"Oh! Well, since you're going to draw my garden. I'll put my pets, so that it'll look cute!" She said.

"Just how many pets do you even need??"

Then she suddenly pouted. It kinda look cute. I sighed.

"Fine, fine, I'll paint all of them in the canvas."

"Yay!" She cheered.

I sat infront of the canvas, imagining the exhausting day I've had.
