** School


"Congats, Zhay, you are the highest score again, while Jessie is the 2nd highest."


I'm the second placer? What? Why?


Kriinnngggg...!!

It's time to go home!

While I'm walking, I saw Ryle beside the construction site, looking at me.

I ignored him but he grab my arms and he pull me in front of him..


"What? Could you please let me go? You're hurting me."

"I just want to talk to you."

"Talk about what, again?"

"About us."


I think he wants me to go back to his life! I choose my best friend and promise not to talk to him again and I don't want to break my promise.


"I don't love you anymore."

"But Jessie—"

"Go away."


He slightly remove his hands in my arms..

Then, I walk away from him and he is still standing there.


** Dorm

Okey, I lied. I still love him. I love him so much and it doesn't change at all.


** School

"Klier!!"

"Jenny?"

"I just want you to know that I'm not going home with you today."

"Why?"

"I'm going somewhere."

"Okay. Just take care of yourself."

"Our teacher is in there. Bye!"

"Bye."


** Dorm

Our 2nd periodical exam is next week. So, I need to review so hard!!


*Knock* *Knock*


"Who's that?"

"Open the door."

"Who's that, first?"

"It's me."

"Who?"

"Just open the door."


So, I open it.

When I opened it, I saw my mom.

I just can't recognize her voice because she's hoarse.


"Mom?"

"Yes."

"Why are you here?"

"I just want to know if you're ok."

"I'm ok. Ahmm.. Mom, I need to study now because our 2nd periodical exam is next week."

"Good Luck!"

"Thanks."


I closed the door.

While I'm reading my notes, my phone rings.


"Dad? Why?"

[Jessie Kleir.]


I feel his voice so sad.


"Why? Are you crying?"

"Jessie, your mom died."

"What???!! I just talk to her a while ago!"

"She died in a car accident. She's going in your dorm then; suddenly the hospital called us and says that she died."


I'm speechless that moment. I don't know what to say or react.

But I thank my mom that she still tried her best to visit me...


** My home town ***

I go home to my original house to see one last goodbye to my mom.

When I'm near our house, my sister hugged me so tightly.


"Jessie, I/we really miss you."

"I miss you all too, sis."

"How are you?"

"I'm good."

"Are you sure?"

"Actually, no."

"Why? Except the fact that mom died."

"My....my....my..."

"You're what?"

"My grades."

"Why what happen? Let's go to our room. Let's talk there."

** Our room

Ooohh! I really miss this room!!
