MY NAME IS DAISY - NOT A BAD DUCK
3. Worry Something bad happened to you

Daisy attends one of the best primary schools in Brown. She's at school with Clarissa. That's right what Clarissa said.  That they were one school and Daisy one year under Clarissa.

But because Daisy is following a special accelerated class program. Eventually he and Clarissa graduated from primary school together. Unfortunately Clarissa went on to her first high school in a different school and lived in a dorm.

Daisy is no longer friends after Clarissa lives in the dorm. Although sometimes Cedro or Caesar occasionally accompany him. But because they are both men, Daisy can not freely play like with Clarissa.

This morning we had breakfast together at the main house. Daisy arrives early on purpose, she does not want to cross paths with her cousins who always bother her. He walked slowly towards the main house. Suddenly Marie and Joane hit him from behind until his glasses fell off. They laughed at Daisy with great satisfaction.

"It's free to wear thick and smart glasses at school if the road is still not visible. You ugly duckling", Marie chuckles.

"I fell because you hit me" Daisy said.

"I'm not such a bad duck. My name is Daisy"

Marie and Joane looked at each other and laughed as if they saw something really funny.

"Your name doesn't matter to us, ducks" Marie stuck out her tongue. While Joane moves his body like the style of a duck.

Daisy grabbed her glasses lying on the grass beside the road. But Marie kicked him further.

"Ayoo.get angry" Marie's fishing rod. He wants to make Daisy angry. So that Daisy's image as a child is good and never makes noise doubt by large families, especially grandparents. Marie deliberately provoked a ruckus so she could fight with Daisy.

"You two, go and don't bother him. Or I'll put it to mom and dad" a voice scared Marie and Joane and ran off. They leave Daisy with threatening looks.

"They're your glasses. Wear it" Maxi picked up the glasses on the grass. Grab Daisy's hand and put it on her.

"Thank you.." said Daisy. But Maxi had already left him at a quick pace. Her cousin sister who was already in the third grade of high school was very tall and her legs were long. So Daisy can't catch up.

Daisy only meets cousins at special events at grandfather's house. And at every event there is just the act of them disturbing Daisy. Luckily, the show is not every day. So the behavior of Marie, Joane and Cleo who always bothered him was not too often he faced. They are also very good at only bullying Daisy when there are no parents or when parents are busy.

And Maxi was always there when Daisy was being bullied by her three older sisters. Despite remaining unfriendly. Like that morning.

One night after dinner at Grandpa's. Daisy intended to pick up the book in the library. He finished his first high school graduation exam. He wanted to find some reading books to fill his free time. While on the stairs he met Cleo who was about to go down and look at him dislike.

"Waaah duck is ugly..Are you not a genius? still need to read a book?" asked Cleo cynically. At Daisy's junior high school one school with Cleo. They are one generation, although Daisy is one year younger than Cleo. Cleo who from the beginning did not like Daisy even more hated her. Moreover, Daisy is the best student in her class.

But again Daisy entered the accelerated class so that she could pass junior high school first compared to Cleo. And Cleo's hatred grew even greater for Daisy. Especially because Daisy's achievements make Cleo's parents proud of Daisy and even demand her to study more diligently due to her poor grades in school.

Moreover, his two older brothers, Yazid and Zayn greatly admired Daisy. Cleo often sees her two brothers scrambling for attention from Daisy at family events.

"Bad fuck, watch out don't get in the way. Why the hell are you always blocking the way" Cleo snapped because Daisy did not respond to Cleo's words earlier.

"I'm not blocking the way. You went the wrong way, Cleo" said Daisy. Because it was obviously Cleo who deliberately walked in the direction of the ride. The arrow on the carpet level clearly indicates that the part that Daisy stepped on was to walk towards the top.

"Iish you dare to argue with me huh. Not because you can graduate school first from me, you can be brave for me. You're still a lousy duck, you're still smaller than me "Cleo snapped back. Daisy relents and shifts to get to the library quickly. He was lazy to serve the stubborn Cleo. The ones that are later make a scene. Daisy doesn't want to bother everyone.

While searching for a book, the library lights suddenly went off. The room became dark. Daisy tried to calm herself down. Then armed with lighting from the lights outside the main house that entered through the library window, Daisy walked slowly to the exit. The door was locked from the outside.

Daisy screams for help. But it looks like the library room is soundproof. So it feels free he screams, just draining his energy.

He resigned. Maybe I should wait until tomorrow morning until the waiter opens the door. Eventually Daisy just sat on the carpet by the door in the dark.

Suddenly the lights came back on and the door opened. Maxi approaches Daisy.

"Are you okay?" tanyanya's worried. But seeing Daisy's pale face, she was sure Daisy was terrified.

"So I heard Cleo tell Marie and Joane that she locked you in here" Maxi said.

"Thank you for helping me" Daisy muttered.

"Other times be careful with the three girls" Maxi said coldly.

"I'm afraid something bad happened to you because of them" Maxi muttered. Daisy was surprised to hear that.

"Always take your phone anywhere. To make it easy to contact the butler in case something happens" Maxi continued. Daisy fell silent. He unfolded Maxi's handrails, as he could be dragged away unable to keep up with Maxi's long footsteps.

"Let's go home. You want to stay here all night?"he asked when Daisy was still pecking at the end of the stairs.

Daisy walks slowly behind Maxi. Sometimes he sees his cousin. Although always talking ketus and seem arrogant and his expression is very terrible for Daisy. But he helped Daisy a few times.

"Aaaauuwww.sick" Daisy bumps into Maxi's back which suddenly stops her path.

"Iisssh you yes, it's an ugly little duckling. Don't daydream if you walk" said Maxi ferociously. He scratched his head that was not itchy. Then fix the location of Daisy's glasses that shifted to the top of the forehead due to hit his back.

"My name is Daisy, not an ugly duckling." Daisy murmured softly.

Maxi sighed while muttering indistinctly.

"Please be good. Call Mr. Alberto if something happens due to the actions of the three girls" said Maxi made Daisy nod quickly.

"Hurry home. Don't daydream" he said again, making Daisy rush to Fiore's house. As soon as she got to the door, Daisy turned her head. Maxi was still standing looking at him. Like waiting for him to come into the house. Just when Daisy had entered the house, Maxi rushed to her house.

"He was always fierce to me, but he always helped me from Marie, Joane and Cleo's interference" Daisy thought when she saw Maxi walking towards Foglia's house. He peeked out from the window of his house.

***

In high school, Daisy attended the best school in Brown. None of his cousins attended the same school. He and Joane, who are two years old above him, attend school the same year at a different school. It's just that Daisy again made it into the acceleration class. He graduated high school one year ahead of Joane.

When Daisy was in High School, she rarely saw Maxi present at family events. In a month it might be just one or her times she sees it at breakfast and dinner events. At the monthly garden party only she could see Maxi. Maybe Maxi is busy with his college.

"Daisy, I brought you a pretty vase. I made my own in Mom's studio" Caesar, Clarissa's sister, sat to Daisy's right at the garden party.

"Thank you, Caesar. You're so great, you can make a vase this beautiful" Daisy said.

"I'm helping him" Cedro came over and sat to Daisy's left.

"Yes right, brother Cedro who helped me. Look at me writing your name here, Daisy" Caesar showed the engraving of the name on the side of the vase.

"Earmmmm..." Maxi who was sitting across from them cleared his throat while staring at Daisy.

Daisy looked back at Maxi. He looks more mature. He may be twenty years old. His body is tall and strong.

"Hallo, how are you?" Daisy waved her hand. Because Maxi did not stop looking at him.

Maxi held back a laugh and lowered his head. Then he hurried out of his chair.

"Maybe we're just little kids to him" Daisy murmured.

"Only you two are little children. I'm an adult. I'm seventeen years old now" Cedro protested Daisy's words.

"Is that so?" asked Maxi who suddenly passed beside them while staring at the pop loli that was on the cedro pikulum.

Cedro just laughed while scratching his head that did not itch.

Daisy sees Maxi sitting in a gazebo near the Cerry tree, busy with books and pencils. As usual, he was always alone while painting. Sometimes he looked at Daisy from afar with his cold gaze.
