Chapter 7: The Magic Spell

"I said, I'm not mad on you."

"Roses are red, chocolates are sweet. Tonight in my dreams hope to be you and me."

"What the-"

"It's a magic spell."

"Magic spell?"

"Tomorrow, I hope to see you again because I enjoyed your company but I think…it's impossible… I'm always happy… it's true but these past few weeks, I've changed…" she confessed that changed her mood.

Her voice seemed so lonely.

"I need to change… I don't want them to miss me…"

"Miss you? Why? Where are you going?"

"I'll be back to my homeland… In the Philippines…"

"If you don't want them to miss you then what do you think you're doing right now?"

"Huh?"

"You're giving something that will always remind you."

"Don't fool me. That necklace is meaningless to you. You will surely forget me," she said and tried to stand but she went out of balance.

Ryoma went to the rescue.

"Thanks," she said and then started to walk away.

"Jei-dy!"

She stopped walking but she didn't face Ryoma.

"Don't call me on my first name because where not friends besides I didn't call yours."

"Ryoma, call me Ryoma to make it fair to you."

"Wait a moment, how did you know my name?" she asked and faced him.

"In the court when I hit you by the ball, they shouted your name."

She tried to remember what happened.

"Jei-dy, if you don't mind, I want to see you tomorrow?"

"For what?"

"I also enjoyed your company."

She made a sweet but bitter smile.

"Let's make a deal. Tonight, when your cat went back to your home, bring my necklace back tomorrow."

"Why there is a condition?"

"It is not a condition, it's a sign."

"A sign?"

"If my God and Yours are in favor in our friendship then, your cat will be in your home when you arrived."

"Ah…"

"Okay, see you then," she said and walked away.

Ryoma walked on the other side. When he reached their house, Karupin was waiting him on their gate.

SNOOZE! SNOOZE! SNOOZE!

The alarm was still snoozing. So Ryoma have no choice but to woke-up. He saw Karupin sleeping over his stomach.

"Karupin…" he whispered while embracing the cat. "Oh no! I will be late again!" He screamed.

He made his move as fast as he can so that he will arrive exactly on time. But again, he's late.

"Okay class; let me introduce to you your new classmate. She's a foreign-exchange student from the Philippines," their Teacher said but again Ryoma didn't pay attention.

But his eyes became bigger and wider when he saw the foreign-exchange student.

"You may sit over that vacant chair," the Teacher's instruction as he pointed to the right side of Ryoma.

The girl sat beside him. He was amazed on what he saw. The girl noticed that he was staring her so she faced him.

Ryoma smiled at her so she made a return.
