After the award, the teacher take the two of my classmate a ride home as we and Zach stayed to eat dinner with the Judges at the school which we can't refuse. We took dinner with the other teachers and Judges.

When we went out of the gate. Hard rain started pouring. I watched as the other kids are one by one fetched by their parents as to me I stayed there waiting for nothing. I didn't texted my dad to fetch me but I am still kinda waiting for him which is so stupid of me. A truck passed by quickly making the puddle in front of me splashed and wet me. 'Why does water hates me so much' I silently exclaimed. I looked beside me which is Zach, also completely wet like me.

" Zach? I thought you already got home. "

I asked as I wipe my face with my wet hands.

" Yeah I suppose, but I just wanna make sure you are fetched by your parent so I let my driver park the car at the side and watched you. "

He said as he shivers in cold.

" You don't need to. I'm just waiting for a cab since my dad can't. . . well, why are you out of your car? "

I asked as I squeeze my dress to drain excess water.

" I'm about to ask you for a ride home."

He said still shivering. I just nodded and we quickly went into his car since there is no taxi that is passing by and seems like the rain won't stop pouring.

" Oh my, why are the both of you so wet. "

The driver asked as he glances the both of us from the front mirror.

" Can you ride us at home quick before we catch a cold? "

Zach requested as he cross his arms together still shivering. We stopped in front of a big house. Zach invited me in so I entered. We both stayed close to their fireplace. He let me borrow his clothes again after that --their driver takes me a ride home. I went home safely and quickly opens our apartment door. Which I found my father stirring his coffee.

"You're finally home. . . Aira. . . I don't want to overreact but why are you wearing a BOY'S CLOTHES and went home so LATE this night?"

He asked staring at me but I just ignored his question and take his coffee and quickly took a sip.

" I'm taking this. Make yourself another one. "

I said as I took his coffee inside my room. The day after we both still catch a cold.

I badly wanna go to school and was already in my uniform when he suddenly called.

"Hey, Just wanna know if you're fine *sneezes "

He said on the phone with a sick tone which surely needed a rest.

"Yah too bad for you. Looks like I'm gonna enjoy a day without you at school."

I mocked trying to deceive him and try to make my voice unsick-lish.

" Tsk then- "

" Aira! I got you meds! Eat this chicken soup before you go to school. It will lessen your cold!. Are you really sure you still wanna go?! Your tempt is quite high! You should rest! "

Dad shouted from our Kitchen. Auck! Why does he still need to shout it? Now Zach knows I'm lying.

"Look who's lying huh?. Don't go to school and have a rest instead."

He said. I just rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Tsk. I am still going."

I insisted confidentially.

"Don't be stubborn. Consider it as my third favor instead."

He persisted. I didn't wanna prolong our little chitchat so I just agreed and also looks like he needed more rest than me judging from the tone of his voice so I already hang up.
