   Ada woke up three minutes before her given time. She felt proud of herself as she saw Leo enter the room with a cup of coffee and her clean dry uniform. It felt nice for things to come to her rather than she giving it to others. She now knew what her mother felt and why she wanted things to be that way. She realised how selfish her mother was now that she has experienced the services she used to give her mother being done to her. She wishes  she can get this comfort again but she is also scared that she might become like her mother and dominate, bad-mouth, and abuse others mentally and physically just because they are trying to help her. She politely thanks Leo for the coffee and takes her uniform from him with a bow. " Get ready before eight so that we can go to school together" Leo said with a charming smile. Ada agreed with a "sure" as she was melted by Leo's hospitality and handsomeness.
   She refreshed herself and set out to school with Leo behind his bicycle. "Don't you have a personal driver that can drop you off at school? You are rich, aren't you?" asked Ada to Leo with curiosity. "I prefer to cycle my way to school. Do you want me to get you a cycle so we can go to school together riding cycle?" Ada was tempted to say yes but she felt like that's what her mother would do as she was materialistic so she declined Leo's offer. "Fine then we can ride one cycle together. You aren't heavy at all so I can peddle with you" said Leo with a smile. " no no I can go to school on my own" said Ada. "mhm~"....

Leo rides the cycle to school while Ada sits behind. The ride was filled with awkward silence.
