Lost Star

Chapter 5

At Vincent's house, Ate Jovie called Vincent to come downstairs to take a snack.

Vincent: (singing Happy by Pharrell Williams) "Because I'm happy to clap along if you know what happiness is for you."

Jovie: "Hey Vince. You look happy today huh"."

Vincent: "I am. I've seen a star that puts a glow in my eyes."

Jovie: "Who is she?"

Vincent: " Secret Ate Jovie. I won't tell you."

Later that noon, Tutor Pinky arrived and checked on Vincent's assignment notebook.

Tutor Pinky: "Vincent, why is it that you did not finish writing the reminders from your notebook?

Vincent: (worried) I am sitting at the back and could not see the board. Because my classmate who is sitting in front of me is much taller than me.

Tutor Pinky: "When your mom returns home, please ask her to write a letter informing your teacher about your problem in school. Okay?"

Vincent: "Yes Ms. Pinky. I will tell mama."

During dinner time, Vincent informed his mama about what Tutor Pinky told him.

Mama: "Alright. I will draft the letter tomorrow and give it to you in the morning before you leave for school."

Vincent: "Thanks, Ma."

Dad: "How's school, Vince? Do you have the same classmates?

Vincent: "Not all. But most of them are my classmates from last year. While my other friends are already in another section. Though, we could still see each other during breaks."

Dad: " Well that's good."

After dinner, Vincent excuses himself to go upstairs to his room. He lay down on his bed and thought of the face of Christine.

Vincent thought, "I was stunned. I am excited about tomorrow. Is she the star that I am looking for? The star that puts glow to my eyes. My beautiful star that shines."
