"Or maybe it is not. I think too much. I guess I need to sleep now," I said as I arranged my blanket and pillow.

"And how can I also forget that he was here in our house before? Oh, (Y/N). I even introduced my name to him today," I added as I put my hand on my forehead.

"He must know me, or I think it's just right. He might also forget about me," I mumbled as I finally got ready to sleep, and I fell asleep.

~ The Next Day ~

It's a new day after that dramatic self yesterday. I decided to go outside to buy something like a notebook and a pen. I've run out of supplies because I always write and doodle.

I went downstairs and was getting ready to go, but before that, I told my Mamá that I would go outside to buy some things, and she agreed and asked me to also buy two bottles of oil. And so, I'm going to go outside now.

The sun welcomed me with its warm and shining light. Such a good day to start, but only God knows when my good time will over.

As I walked to the supply store, I commonly saw people having a good time too, and even children playing.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

I finally arrived at the supply store and was greeted by a cashier who knew me. She is Amelia, by the way.

"Good morning, my known customer, Señorita (Y/N)! What's with your visit here again?" she greeted cheerfully as she smiled.

"Good morning, too, Amelia! I'll just buy some notebooks and pens," I replied as I chuckled.

"It seems you really love writing, huh? What do you write?" she asked.

"Uhm, just some random thoughts about my days," I answered as I smiled.

"Hmm, interesting," she said as she chuckled, and I did too.

"Okay, you may find some notebooks and pens in there that may satisfy you," she informed as she pointed on the side, and I nodded.

When I finally found them, I went to Amelia and paid for them. I said my goodbyes, and proceeded to go to the market.

While walking, I saw some of the Madrigals doing their chores too in that area. It is such a routine for them that it makes me happy to see this town helping each other and being a happy place. But not always. There's also a tragedy.

I finally found the stall that was full of food products. And I went there.

"Hello! May I have the two bottles of oil?" I asked.

"Sure, Señorita! Wait for a moment," she said as she was finding and getting something.

While I was waiting, someone came beside me, and I took a glance at my side. It was Carlos Madrigal. I just ignored him and let him stay. He might buy something too, or others.

"So, aren't you going to notice me?" he asked. What did he expect to do with him?

"Who are you talking to?" I asked with a curious expression.

"Of course, I'm talking to you," he replied, as he smirked. I just ignored it again. I thought it was someone else he was talking to.

"You're doing it again," he said.

"I noticed you a few times. Isn't that enough?" I said.

"It's not enough. Let's get to know each other," he added as he leaned into the stall.

"Fine, just give me some time," I accepted as I nodded. I just wanted to buy two bottles of oil. How was the owner of the stall? Isn't she gone?

While still waiting, I noticed another boy on the side of Carlos, and he patted his shoulder. I almost heard their conversation.
