It's been almost a week since Freen arrived at Pathum Thani. Everything went well and Pathum Thani become her place of stress reliever in the span of five days. Among those days, Freen never seemed to be more calmer and stress free. She was always carrying burdens she never should have carried. Problems in the school the she shouldn't be the one to solve. And unpleasant things she heard about her from people's mouth saying she is a meanie and a total cold princess when it's in fact far from who she is.

Despite the different views of different people about her, Freen never thought about giving up and never even give a shit about a glitch of hopelessness. She surpass those thunders as she forge a deeper belief in herself.  She is everything she thought she could never be. And she has build herself perfectly armored when something strike her from behind. 

There's a loud thunders outside the classroom. The little kids we're asleep and she is in charge of handling the kids for the mean time. Standing up from her chair, Freen started walking towards Patrice place and place her head on her little desk because it's almost falling off from the chair.

"How pitiful you are for not experiencing a perfect family.". Freen whispered caressing the younger girl's hair.  Patrice is an orphan. Her father left her when she was one year old and her mother died a month after her fifth birthday.  Freen felt a pang on her chest as she look at the younger girls innocent face.

"Why do the world have to be so unfair?" She mumbled. She took her wallet from the pocket of her jeans revealing little Freen with her mom and dad on her side. They look so happy, Freen's smile is reaching her ears and that's the only smile she flash knowing that she's on her happiest days. But life will not be a fairytale everytime. All stories have to go through its rising action before it will be on it's ending. The happiest days of your life might be not the happiest at all. And in that moment, Freen swear to herself that she won't ever let any man hurt her again. Her father did it first when he knows he's her everything, he promised things to her but he killed her the moment he become the things he swear he would never be.

"No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.” A tear slip on Freen's eyes as she quickly wipe it away with her palms avoiding anyone to see her vulnerable side.

"Phi... Why are you sad?" Freen was startled by the sudden voice, she never thought the younger girl is already awake.

"I'm not." Freen whispered. She doesn't want her voice to crack in front of the girl.

"Sure you are." Patrice replied rolling her eyes just like what Rebecca always did.

It's funny how two different people share the same aura at the same time.

Flashing a smile, Freen also laid her head on the desk facing Patrice.

"I'm not sad. "

"You are.  Stop lying."

"I'm not lying."

"But I saw your tears falling from your cheeks. You are crying."

"I'm not."

"You are."

"I'm —"

"I hate liars." Patrice turned her head away from Freen covering it with her folded arms.

" Hey i'm sorry." Freen persuaded but got rejected by the girl. "Pat." But then again to no avail, Patrice still ignored her plead. "Fine, i'm sad. I'm sorry."

Patrice look back at Freen beaming a smile showing her cute dimples.

"I hate liars." She cooed again. "Did someone already lie to you Phi?"
