Old flames & old friends

I tried my best to avoid Ren just to figure out how I really feel about her, so, I visited my favorite second family at D'Caffe. Prise is so glad that I came in and asked if I could help out for a bit. I obliged and Lil Tim hugged me tight when he immediately saw me as he was walking in from the front door. Greg laughed in his usual hearty tone and automatically prepared breakfast for me, a plate of sunny side up, bacon and toasts. Dina couldn't help but cry since it's been eight months of training and it's seldom that I visit or work in the café why they missed having me around.

Haha, thank you guys I miss you too!. Mom called that she will be picking me up at the café and we will have do girls stuff today since the academy gave us a three-day rest after exams. Then, when we come back for the last semester of the year, we will be doing technical and physical work like an on the job training but for real since we will be exterminating "bacas" (bacterial monsters) in the Wet Lands which have been wiped out by the military forces during a pandemonium that happened a couple of months ago. These are leakages made by BTS and VRS, the last time we tried to handle them in the outskirts of DG1 borders. So, now is definitely my holiday. But thinking about Rene, she still tried to contact me but when I avoided her in school, maybe she thought that it's time she already gave up and I didn't hear from her again. Yet, destiny has a weird way of making things more interesting. I saw Ren and her friends laughing while walking in the café. This time, I didn't avoid her and kept a steady gaze at her. her eyes met mine and she smiled. I guess things will be awkward from this day onwards, but I want us to still be friends so I smiled back and there we're friends again. But this time, I think, we have this special bond that nobody can ever destroy or change, ever.
