Chapter 3
Damage?
"Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed. I squinted at the laptop screen in front of me.
Top 10 Biggest Brain Damaging Habits According to World Health Organization (WHO)
I read it through:
# 10 Talking Rarely
"Hey Len!" I called my brother.
"Hmm?" he answered, his eyes glued to the television screen.
"It's Luka-nee's birhtday tomorrow, right?" I asked.
"Mm-hmm," he grunted, still not looking at me. My eyebrows met.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you!"
"Hmp," he said, glancing at me for a second, before turning his attention back to his show.
"Grr!" I growled before stomping out of the living room.
# 9 Lack in Stimulation Thoughts
"What are you doing?" I asked Len when I saw him one morning. He was at the backyard, sitting cross-legged on a mat, eyes closed like he was meditating.
"Clearing my mind," he said simply. That confused me.
"Whay are you clearing your mind?"
"To achieve enlightenment," he said in what he deemed a mysterious tone. He just sounded retatrded to me.
"Whatever," I said as I walked back to the kitchen to finish my breakfast.
# 8 Working Your Brain During Illness
"Len, why don't you just lie down for a while?" I asked him. My twin was sick, but was still busy memorizing the new song Master made for us.
"If you weren't such a procrastinator, you would've already memorized that when Master gave us the piece last month," I scolded him. "Now look at you! We're due to record that tomorrow, and here you are rushing while you're not feeling well."
"Rin," he said. "I don't ned your preaching right now," he complained. "It's difficult as it is already. Don't make my head hurt more than it already is."
"Baka," I sighed. "At least call Master and have the recording rescheduled."
He obliged.
# 7 Head Covered While Sleeping
"Len?" I softly called my 9 year-old twin. "Hey Len!"
"Mumph?" I heard his muffled inquiry from underneath his pillow.
I looked to my left and saw that his pillow covered his head.
"Len!" I evclaimed scrambling to remove the pillow from his face. What if he's suffocationg? I asked myself.
"Rin! What're you doing?" he demanded when I succeeded to extract the pillow.
"Saving your life!" I shot back at him. "It was suffocating you!"
"No it isn't!" he snapped back. "Now go back to sleep," he commanded.
Then I noticed something.
"Whay are you wearing a hat?"
"None of your business!" he yelled.
The next day, i found out that Master cut off his ponytail because, in her own words, "... it made him look scruffy!".
Did he honestly think he could hide this from me till he grow his hair back?
# 6 Sleep Deprivation
"Wha-?" I mumbled. I woke up to the sounds of gun shots and men screaming.
I scratched my head, annoyed. Len was sitting on the floor on the other side of the room, controller in hand, eyes glued to the game.
I checked the alarm clock on the table between our beds. 3:56 A.M.
"Len!" I hissed. "It's almost four in the morning!"
"Then sleep!" he shot back, not looking at me.
A vein popped on my forehead.
"Baka!" I said, irritated by his stubbornness. "How could I when you game won't let me?"
"Then pop your ear plugs on like you always do!" he snapped. "Now shut up! You're ruining my momentum!"
I inhaled deeply. Six months of this and I'm sick and tired of it!
I got up,marched to the console, took out the disk, stormed to my closet, and shoved the blasted game into my underwear drawer.
"There," I said smugly. "Let's see you retrieve that," I dared him.
He paled. Then - "RIN!"
#5 Air Pollution
"Len, get away from the smoke!" I scolded him.
We were having a barbecue for Piko-kun's birthday. He was standing smack where the wind was blowing the smoke.
"But I like it here," he complained. "The barbecue's coming along great. It smells delicious!"
"Baka!"
# 4 High Sugar Consumption
"GYAAA!" I shrieked. "NAKED SHOTA!"
My idiot twin brother was running around the living room stark naked. I glanced at the upended coffee table. What the-?
There on the floor was a large heap of candy wrappers of different brands and sizes.
"Candy...? Sugar rush?"
I immediately knew what to do. This wasn't the first time Len had a sugar overload.
"Meiko-nee! Kaito-nii!" I screamed for them aas I scrambled to lock the windows..
"What?" they yelled back from the kitchen.
"Len had too much candy!" I informed, going to the living room door, blocking it with my body.
"Close all the doors. We don't want him running around the neighborhood naked and attacking the candy store like last time!"
# 3 Smoking
Smoking? I asked myself. "Well, no one smokes here-" I stopped, remembering someone. "Dell!"
Ugh. I knew it. That Voyakiloid they based from Len is bad for my brother. Len isn't a smoker himself, but recently, he spends his time with Dell enough to be considered as one. Plus, I read somewhere that those who inhale second-hand smoke get 60% of the harmful chemicals. That means Dell's smoking is more harmful to Len than it is to the Voyakiloid himself. I'll see to him later.
# 2 Overeating
"Nom nom nom nom..."
My pig of a brother was stuffing his face with food. Again.
"Ugh. Aren't you tired of eating, you pig?" I complained, wrinkling my nose at him in disgust.
"Nuff," he said, his mouth full.
"Eww, gross!" I reacted, cringing away from him.
"UGH. I am NEVER bringing you to an all-you-can-eat event EVER AGAIN."
# 1 No Breakfast
I shook my head after reading this one. My brother fits this one perfectly. All he ever eats during breakfast is a banana. One measly banana. All because he keeps on waking up late from playing his game (he got a new computer game: Call of Duty: Black Ops [what's so great about this game, anyway? So what if it brought down the teenage pregnancy rate by 50%? Who'd he knock up anyways? Me? Gross!]), thus, leaving him no time to eat a proper meal before training/recording/tours.
I sighed and sank down on my swivel chair. This article proved my long-time hunch: Idiocy doesn't run in our family.
