CHAPTER 1

"Granny, I'm leaving, I'm going to the studio now, take care of yourself" Sky said to her grandmother who was busy with what she was doing in the kitchen.

"Be careful too" replied of her Grandmother Melly and continued what she was doing.

She is back with her skateboard again that she always rides when she goes to the studio. Since high school, this has been her favorite thing to do because her grandmother gave her a skateboard so she keeps it and it is very important to her.

She is Sky Amber Lee, she has also been a ballerina since she was young. She had always dreamed of having a studio, so she persevered to have it. She teaches many children who want to be ballerinas.

Their grandmother Melly Lee is the only one with them in life, because they no longer have a mother. Their father is always busy with work so they don't get along. Sander Anthony Lee, on the other hand, is his older brother and he also has his own restaurant that he is busy with.

Sky arrived at her studio early so her students were not there yet.She just bought food at fast food to fill her stomach as well.

But soon,her students arrived. The children she teaches are only 5-9 years old.She is happy with what she is doing because it has always been her dream and skateboarding as well.

"Goodmorning teacher Sky" the children greets her

"Goodmorning cuties, how are you today?" She greets her students too

Everyone answered well. So they started to put on their clothes and they also started stretching to be able to start their ballet dance.

—————-———————————-

After 3 hours of their class, they also said goodbye to each other because their class was over. So Sky rested as well.

Calling Emery ...

"Hello" Answer of the other line

"Are you busy?"

"No, why?" Emery asked

"I'm done with class, let's have lunch"

"That's what I want, go ahead and wait for me, Bye" Emery dropped the call

Soon Emery arrived, so they immediately went to Sky's brother restaurant. It was located close to her studio so they just walked while Sky was carrying her skateboard.

—————————————————-

(At the restau)

"So how are you being a traveler?" Sky asked his friend while eating

"I'm okay, it's as tiring as your job" Emery replied

"My work is not tiring, because the kids and I enjoy it " Sky said with a smile

"Well, at least you're right as long as you really want to do it, you won't feel tired" Emery replied back

"Why just the two of us? Where is Zoie? " Emery asked again

"I can't contact him, maybe she's busy again, you know she's a writer" Sky replied

"You know, I feel sorry for our friend, imagine, you just focused on your laptop all day, that's why the grade of her glasses is so high" said Emery while eating

Sky just nodded in response to her friend. It's true what Emery says, there is never a day that their friend is not busy so she is mistaken for an introvert because she likes to be alone and only focuses on the stories she writes.

After they ate they took out food for Zoie, they took out their friend's favorite food, a pasta.

"Hmm Miss, where's my brother Sander?" Sky asked the waitress

"All I know is that sir is in a business meeting" replied the waitress

"Thank you" Sky said as they left the restaurant and soon the cab they booked arrived.

——————————————————-

They rang the doorbell at the apartment where Zoie was staying but no one opened it so they just opened it on their own.

"You know, her house is really clean, she obviously doesn't come out of the room" Emery said sarcastically.

"All right, go to her room. I'll just prepare the food we took out for her. "Sky replied and went to the kitchen

Emery knocked on Zoie's door but no one opened it. So she just opened it, Emery was no longer surprised because she was also used to her friend

"Witch it's time to eat, we brought you your favorite" Emery said to her friend

Zoie removed her earphones

"My cousin isn't here, Emery." Zoie answered but with a poker face

Emery's eyes widened at what she heard but she knew it was just a joke by her friend

"We brought you food because we don't want you to be hungry" He replied to his friend but his voice got louder

"Thanks" Zoie replied and left her room

Emery just shook her head because of her friend's behavior.She just followed outside and sat on the sofa

"It's good and you thought about eating" said Sky

"Of course I'm hungry" Zoie replied after eating her favorite food

They just turned on the TV so they wouldn't get bored while waiting for Zoie to finish eating

"Zoie" Sky called

"Hmm?" Zoie replied while chewing the food

"Aren't you still used to being here in China? I mean that you cannot speak even a single word?" Sky asked

"I'm getting used to it, but of course I still can't help but miss the country I grew up in and somehow I can speak a word but not a phrase and somehow I can do understand a little bit " Zoie explained after eating again.

"Okay, just eat it first, don't waste it" Sky said with a slight laugh

So Zoie continued to eat while they watched tv

"Sky, let's go shopping after" Emery said to her friend

"Okay, let's ask Zoie after she finishes eating" sky replied to her friend

When Zoie finished eating she sat down next to her friends while they watched tv

"Zoie, let's go shopping" said sky

"Okay" Zoie said to her friend sparingly

So the two looked at each other and they both smiled very broadly because Zoie didn't hesitate to go shopping with them.

(At the Mall)

"Zoieee, doraemon again? That's an endless collection of yours "Emery growled but she was just joking because she knew Zoie was happy with Doraemon or any stuff that have a blue color.

"Just be happy of what you bought okay?" Zoie replied and just stared at Emery

"Nyenyenyenye" ​​was Emery's teasing reply and Zoie did the same

Sky just laughs at his two crazy friends

"Bubble tea?" Sky asked the two and the two agreed to go to the milktea shop

They always order their favorite flavors, Sky has Wintermelon, Emery has Mocha and Zoie has Cookies n Cream.

"Zoie, did you do this in the Philippines before?" Sky asked his friend because he was curious again

"Hmm sometimes, but often not. I just ordered online and then it was just delivered to the house "Zoie replied

"Ohh i see, that's why the first time you were here you were so quiet, you only spoke once in a blue moon, it's good now that you can speak for a long time" Emery teased Zoie again

But Zoie is used to it. So she just laughed a little because what her friend was saying was true.

After laughing, teasing and shopping, they thought they would go home because it was getting late.

They did nothing but talk all day.

(At Sky's House)

"Granny Im here" she calls her granny Melly

"Oh how was your day?" Her Grandmother asked "Have you eaten yet? Do you want me to prepare something for you to eat? "

"I've been with my crazy friends all day" Sky laughed a little at what she said

"All right grandma, then tell me your stories again"

"All right, sit down and I will prepare something for you to eat "said her grandmother Melly

"Grandma, hmm aren't you tired? Because you have been taking care of Sander and me all your lives "Sky asked her grandmother while eating

"Why should I get tired? You and your older brother are the ones who strengthen your grandmother. " his grandmother Melly replied happily

"That's why I'm very lucky to have you grandmother" Sky said with a smile

"I'm also Sky, because I have beautiful and handsome grandchildren and they are kind" said his grandmother Melly who was obviously happy

"Leave it to me grandma, I will improve my work so that I can repay everything you have given us since we were young" she said, and at the same time holding the hand of her grandmother Melly

After they talked and talked, they said goodnight to each other so that they could rest as well

Sky realized that even though there was no parents by their side, they had a grandmother who never left them.

And no matter what happens she is willing to do anything just to provide for her grandmother's needs

"I hope someday my soulmate or someone is not like my father" she said to herself after Sky went to bed and fell asleep.

(Next Morning)

Sander is calling ....

Sky digs into her cellphone to answer the caller too early

"Hello" she replied, it was obvious in her voice that she just woke up

"Sky, please tell grandma that I'm going home now from a business meeting for two days" Sander said on the other line, before Sky could speak, her older brother dropped his call.

Sky wanted to go back to sleep but she couldn't sleep because of the sunlight

So she just got up and got himself ready and had breakfast

"Goodmorning Grandma, Sander is telling me, he'll be home later" Sky said to her Grandma Melly as she ate hot bread and sipped hot coffee.

"Well then, aren't you going to your studio today?" Her grandmother asked as she arranged her things for the market

"No, I don't go on weekends" she replied

"All right, finish your breakfast and I'll go to the market first" she said goodbye to Sky then she left the house

After Sky groomed herself she sat on their sofa and turned on the tv to watch the show but she went to a Sport news and she stopped so she first watched the interview with a male basketball player

"Mr. Mayson Qin, what can you say to your supporters? " The female interviewer asked the tall male basketball player next to her

"Thank you very much" was the man's sparing reply

"Most of your fans ask this, Are you in a relationship now Mr. Qin?" the female interviewer asked again

"No and I don't have that in mind, thank you" the man replied and he just waved slightly to say goodbye

When the interview ended, Sky just turned off the TV because there was no good show so she just thought of going out of the house and skateboarding to go around.

She remembered again the male basketball player who looked very serious while being interviewed

"Tsk, no emotion" she whispered to himself and left the house

She went again to the park not so far from their house. Many people still come there especially on weekends. Often couples or family bonding, there are also friends together.

They also want to bond with each other, but they have their jobs and are always busy.

So she just sat on a bench near the court where there were people playing basketball. And she just drank the water she had brought.

"Sky, will you play again?" a man asked her ,he was Ellion

"Not for now, I'll just watch" Sky replied to him, and the man said goodbye to play

Sky joins them to play basketball once in a while if she's in the mood. Her cell phone rang because someone was texting so she immediately picked it up and read it

[From Grandma,

I'm home, I know you're in the park. Don't sweat too much, and come home soon]

She just smiled at what she read, her grandmother really knew her , her grandmother knew where she was going.

[To Grandma,

Yes grandma, I'll be home soon]

Sky replied to her Grandmother and she resumed watching basketball.

Sky has been in the park for over an hour because she is watching basketball.

Shewas ready to go home when two cars arrived.She was not familiar with cars, so she wondered who the owners of the cars are. But she just ignored it and just put away the biscuits she ate while watching the game earlier.

"Omg !! Is that Mayson Qin? !! "

"How handsome they are"

"Ohhhh, they're really tall"

"Let's get autographed later"

"I'm thrilled, I've seen them in person"

That's the whispers of the people in the park, the women were almost thrilled to see the men getting out of the cars.

So Sky also looked in the direction where the men they were talking about were positioned.

"Familiar, I think I've seen this person" Sky whispered to herself with mixed curiosity

She could not be bothered where she saw the man, so she stared at him intently even though she was slightly far away from him. Her eyes widened as she remembered where she had seen it.

"He's the man who was interviewed on TV? !!" her mind shouted "You're really handsome, but there's no emotion on your face, poker face" she said again in her mind

She was about to leave when she noticed that she saw a familiar face again. Zoie's cousin, Ridge Xu. She didn't think that he would be there. But she just kept going and rode her skateboard home because she knew that her grandmother was waiting, as well as her older brother who came home from a business meeting.
