Lost Star

Chapter 4

At school, everyone is busy talking while the class adviser is not yet in.

Kurt: "Oh Hi Vince. Have you seen my Youtube channel?" Do check it out."

Vincent: "Not yet. What's the name of your YT channel?"

Kurt: "It's Kurtime."

Vincent: "I will check it out when I get home."

Ms. Velez, the class adviser, has arrived and asked Azalea to lead a prayer before the class.

Azalea: "Alright classmates, let's put ourselves in the presence of the Lord. In the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom comes, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us."

After the prayer, Ms.Velez requested everybody to arrange seats according to the class number, and the boys' seats alternate with the girls.

Vincent's seat is situated at the back of the classroom and is seated right next to Azalea.

Azalea: "Hi friend. Long time no see."

Vincent: "It's a good thing we are again seatmates."

Ms. Velez: "Alright class, please copy the requirements and assignments to your Reminder notebook." (steps out of the room to get some learning materials from the faculty room)

Azalea: (While writing) Vince, how's your school break?'

Vincent: "It's so much fun. My family and I were able to take time to bond together. We went to the states and Ilocos, dad's hometown."

Azalea: "Good for you. You were able to see lots of places."

Vincent: "Yes and I am thankful that we build good memories together as a family. We have lots of pictures to look back at."

Azalea: "Can you bring some of your pictures so that I can see them."

Vincent: "I am not sure if I can bring them. They are all stored in my iPad."

Azalea: "Do you have a Facebook?"

Vincent: "I don't have a Facebook."

Azalea: "Never mind.'

Ms. Velez returned and started the session.

Vincent, who is sitting at the back, had a hard time seeing the blackboard.

Then, he caught a glimpse of a classmate sitting in the front row of the room. He thought, "Is that Christine? She's beautiful and I can't help but look at her."

The bell rang and Vincent did not finish writing the assignment from the board. Vincent thought, "Oh my...mama will get angry at me. Christine! Why are you so beautiful?'"
