Chapter 4

My smile never fades, while inside the car I am smiling while looking at the tress and people we passed by. The two people with me we're too worried and is glancing at me right now.

"Are you threatened?"

"Or did you perhaps see something unusual?"

"Or is there something not good at the Campus? Tell us Adora you seems so creepy..." Sally was feeling a goosebump.

"I am inspired!" I said with wide arms open, I almost hit tita while driving making me apologize immediately but she just chuckled.

"Let's somewhere and eat? What do you think?"

"I'm in!" Sally at the back excitingly raised her hands.

"Me too,"

I'm in the mood today so today so I'm in. Aunt Minesa parked her car already, as soon we get out the car there were eyes everywhere than I can notice looking at our direction. I didn't mind them and followed the two inside the fast food chain. The line was too long, I can't let Minesa get in this long line and Sally which I knew wouldn't like to wait for this super long line. So I decided to volunteer and all they did is wait on the chair near the glass window.

It is not that too long to wait since waiting is my expertise. It took me maybe half an hour until it is my turn to order. I ordered what I saw and let them reserve my order. "Just wait for your order in a bit maam. Thank you!"

The girl gave me a tray with a priority number and receipt on it. As soon as I have it I look for our table and slowly drop it on the table.

"Tomorrow will be your first day, you should make an impression. I reserved a spa for the three of us, my friend own one so we can go there and rent the whole spa just the three of us."

Both Sally and I were amazed. Since I cannot experience cutting and coloring hair, beauty care, body care and nail care would be enough for me to relax. In any minute our orders arrived already.

"How long have you been staying in the city Sally? I heard you were living here?" Sally nodded while biting the drumstick. A mad eater, indeed.

"Yah madam. I rent a room here and it's quite expensive. I've been doing my part time during weekdays at night so I rarely goes to the mansion ."

Our highschool school is just a few miles away. Mom wanted her to just stay at our house but she neglected it since her shift is at night it would be hassle for her to travel on a long mile so she insisted to rent a room.

"I see. But still you are able to see Adora at school."

"Yes madam. Adora is a little girl to take care of."

My eyebrows raisws as she utter the word 'little'. Am I? Maybe? I'm a little minded person but a little girl? That's unacceptable!

"Oh! You're reacting! I could remember when you wanted to pee you want me to come and wait for you. When you wanted to buy something, you'll gonna ask me to cone with you and if you--"

"Hold the crap! Okay! You win!" Minesa laughed at us. Does anyone know how strong our bond with Sally? It's something you couldn't break.

"You two are really close. I could remember when the two of you are still on your mommas tummy. Both of you were too excited to go out. No wonder you vibe together."

As so you know, Meriya and Minesa were friends also. Since Minesa couldn't bear a child she make herself busy taking care of us when we were young. As what my mom told me. It was when I'm too innocent to know the real world. Since her husband died, she became busy on her business and never ever had the time to visit the mansion again. Even during reunion, there's no Minesa's presence. I can feel her loneliness. I could feel how hard it is to be all alone on a home.

"Have you ever think of raising a child madam?"

Look at this girl, is she even thinking straight? I looked at her but she continued what she is eating as if it was natural to ask such questions.

"Yes. But I'm bothered for no reasons. So I ended up not doing it." Minesa seems to be used to such questions. How could Sally carelessly asked that?

"Well, you have us." I said with a smile on my face.

"But we are not babies anymore." I looked at Sally who seems not to know what I am pointing.

"It is good to raise one. You could help one life for that. That's what I am thinking in my life madam."

"Drop the honorifics, Sal. You can call me anything you want."

"Really? Then I'll call you Aunt Min." I laughed at her corny call sign. Aunt would be better.

"So what makes you think of it, Sal?"

Sal drop her spoon and fork as she thinks the reason about she said earlier.

"Just in this situation, if ever I got a business and got richer, if ever. I would rather adopt than bearing a child. If I happen to have one then good, but I would really love to change one thing on earth by that. Deep and thoughtful right? Well, thank you."

Minesa laughs on her because of being proud of what she just said. This girl is really different. "What about you Adora?"

The two is now looking at me waiting for my opinion. "I don't know. I don't have plans, both."

Sally shook her head as if it was the most unacceptable words she heard. Aunt Minesa just nodded.

"Well, you are too young. Both of you should focus on your teenage days first. Enjoy it."

If there's no Sally I wont be able to enjoy my life. It is hard to deal with your inner self, and in no moment you might fall on that very high peak mountain. All my life I always heard disgusting comments from other people and the people around me corrected it. They're your best asset of all so if you have that kind of person who help you get up and prove you life is all for humans then keep them. They're rare.

We got home already after we ate. I could feel the cracking on my bones seems to feel exhausted from our day awhile ago. Tomorrow will be an another thrill for me. Facing the reality of life. Not hiding on the corner of your room forever, I also have to get out of my nest. I wont be able to grow if I continue hiding. I wont be able to face my fear if I continue hiding from it. I'll walk through this no direction future, whatever it takes I hope one will left by my side to hold me and to keep me from falling amidst the storm.

"Are sleeping already?"

There were no response from Sally, I supposed she's sleeping already. Lucky her, she can able to sleep soundly anytime, any night. I pull my blanket to cover my body.

A summoned of sun rays wakes me up, I could clearly see the shadows of the sun seems to hide on the curtain. The morning is too silent to wake up early and yeah it's late already. Not the same as other people, I didn't rush and stretched my arms wide welcoming the new day of my life. With my one eye open I saw Sally who's dressed up already and crossing her shoulder while raising one of her brows. I smiled at her and opened both of my eyes.

"You really love to be late every first day." I just smile.

"Of course. First day of school I supposed there's no discussion yet."

"College is different. C'mon! Get dressed. You annoying brat!" She sigh and leave.

It is my first day of being a college student. Another stressful year to someone like me. I sighed and dressed up. It took me half an hour to finish myself very late for our first day.

We parted ways with tita since Mang Glan will be the one to drive us at school. I am nervous, this isn't my first time but I could imagine what would be my life again at school days. Where in I wished that school never existed and that I have nothing to worry.

"We're here!" As soon as Mang Glan give us the sign we immediately take off the car.

The school uniform was perfectly fit to my body but I hate it's style. We looked like a strict math teacher in highschool. We have a gray pants which flattened perfectly by the maids, the pastel pink polo. I hate the color it looks dull!

Aunt purposely set my schedule the same with Sally except PE time. Minesa couldn't make changes about it since most of the PE teacher is really strict on their class members list and once they have it they don't want any changes from it.

We didn't expected that the class will start sooner so we are just able to attend our third class which is the Basic finance. Our professor haven't started a lessons yet but he let us introduced ourselves one by one in front telling everyone about our uniqueness, weakness, expectations, and ideas about the subject itself. Everyone seems so confident and are very good at expressing their ideas in front. When it's my turn I let myself cool first before I could start talking. It wasn't that bad but not really good. The important thing is I finished my speech.

We had no sitting arrangement so I always stick right beside Sally's seat. The class was very boring the whole day, all professors were just telling us the rules and the gradings on their subjects. Gladly we had no PE class today so I'll be sticking with Sally the whole day. Our PE uniform has not been distributed yet.

We were waiting for our next schedule at the canteen. Surprisingly, a group of people approached us later did I realized it was Sally's friend whom I met at the party. My eyes is waiting for someone to come but I am disappointed when I couldn't find him.

"You were here!"

"Adora! It's glad to see you again. We're on the same class on English subject." Amster jumped in front of me giving me his crazy smile.

I couldn't help my head to stretch and search for someone. They continue to talk while I am right in the corner very silent. Amster glanced at me and smiled. I response with a slight smile and started to eat my food.

"Tyler!" I stopped, when I hear someone calling his name.

Slowly, I heads up and saw Tyler approaches us with a big smile. How can he so adorable even with his uniform? A hot school boy and I am with a hot school boy right now. Butterflies on my stomach started to panic when Tyler look at me with a big smile. I couldn't help but to felt the heat rushing through veins making my heart drummed continuously.
