Jordyn was through the halls of a school building yet again facing the classroom where she was pulled from before.
Jordyn: "Bakit kaya hinila ako palabas sa classroom na ito?" She thought to herself before opening it again due to sheer curiosity as she peeked in head first, seeing as it was empty with only chairs and tables present unlike before that was smokey and a figure standing in the middle of the bare classroom.
She walked in and looked through the room. It was just a typical classroom with posters of lessons around the walls but the whiteboard was empty.
Jordyn ended up at the teacher's table and noticed one of the drawers was halfway open. Being still curious, she opened it all way through and saw a single paper on it.
She took it and saw the unfinished sketch she did back when she was waiting for Stevie in the courtyard during enrollment which confused her.
"Is that yours?"
A voice startled her as she raised her head and saw someone now sitting in front of her at the front row.
Jordyn: "Is this the same person?" She thought as the mysterious figure stood up slowly; wearing a black hoodie cover its face while wearing a leather jacket over it.
The mysterious figure slowly approached Jordyn who was rooted in her spot, somehow not moving a muscle like she was paralyzed until the shadowed person was face to face with her although she couldn't see her face because it was covered by a mask besides the hoodie covering her upper face; all she can tell was that she was taller than the figure but can't figure put if she is looking at a female or male since the voice was a little muffled earlier.
The figure raised her hand and grasped the sketch off Jordyn's hand and took a look at it.
"You have a talent."
That voice. It sounds familiar.
*RING RING RING*
Jordyn suddenly woke up from her dream once again because of the damn alarm clock.
She rubbed her head with confusion as to what just happened until she heard the small knocks from her door and saw her father peeking his head and smiling at his only daughter.
Thomas: "Oh goodmorning anak. Buti gising ka na. Get ready na para makapagbreakfast tayo bago ang first day of school mo."
Jordyn smiled back and nodded her head before getting her towel and clothes as she head to the bathroom to prepare for school.
Jordyn: "Such a weird dream. But I can't even remember half of it though." She told herself before opening the shower curtain and enter the tub.

Weekend passed by so fast and it was already the first day of class.
Calliope was rushing down the stairs; knowing she was going to run late if she doesn't leave the house in a few minutes.
Normally, she wouldn't mind being late for school but she promised not only to her principal that she will start being a responsible Senior High student, but she also gave her word to her mother too and she intends to keep it.
She sprinted towards the kitchen and took a huge bite off a piece of toast that she devoured in just 3 bites and took another one before drinking water and approached her mother who was washing the dishes and telling her that she's leaving.
Charlene: "Ito anak, nilagyan kita ng coffee sa Aquaflask para mainom mo sa school."
Calliope: "Thanks mom. Dabest ka talaga." Kissing her mother's cheek making her mother smile lightly at her daughter's sudden burst of sweetness from time to time but she hoped after her talk with Calliope through the weekend can help strengthen their relationship moving forward.
