This chapter is dedicated to @warmjava . Thank you for voting for my story and I'm so grateful.

    Cameron POV
I wake up and notice it was evening and it looked like everyone had left. They couldn't even wake me up. Thanks guys. I arrange my table and I stand up taking my bag and putting it on my shoulders. I look around and I see Mr Lay in his office working. Seems like he is a workaholic. I better tell him I'm going home. I walk towards his office. I knock on the door.
    "Come in"
I enter the office and close the door behind me.
"Evening sir. I am about to go sir"
"Okay. You can leave."
"Bye sir." As I was about to turn I see picture of two young boys on his table, an Asian and a black and that's .... me. I'm the black boy could Lay be...
"What are you still doing? I said you can leave."
"Ohh.. ohhhh.  Ye... yes sir". He looks at me and then at his picture, he takes it and puts it under a file. I leave his office shocked and I look for a nearby seat and I sit down. Lay is Chen. He ran away when we were young and I never saw him again and here he is. But look at me, working for him. Why is he so mean? when he was young, he was so cheerful but I wonder what happened that made him change. Mom needs to hear this.

      I leave the company and enter a taxi heading home. I look at my wristwatch and the time is 7:00. I arrive at home and I enter and I see mum sitting down watching television.
"I'm back mom."
"Haa, welcome. I was getting worried."
"Sorry mum, it's just I overslept at work"
"It must have been stressful. Wait I will get you dinner"
I sit down and my mom gets a plate of fried rice on drops it on the table in front of me.
"Thanks mum"
"Your welcome" she says as she smiles and she walks and sits beside me. Her smiles always warms me up. Before I forget.
"Mum? Do you remember Chen?"
"Yeah. Chen. That cute Asian that's was so close with you right?" She says smiling.
"Mommm. You know the head of Ahart is Mr Lay."
"Yeah."
"I think Lay is Chen"
"What? Are you serious? How do you know?"
"When I went to tell him I'm leaving. I saw a picture of me and Chen when we were little on his desk and it was just so surprising"
"What are you waiting for? Go tell him you're his long lost friend"
"Mom I don't think now is the right time. I still need to find out if he really is Chen. You know I could be mistaken."
"Right."
      I finish eating dinner and I take the plate to the kitchen and I tell my mom goodnight and I go to my room. I'm just so tired that I drop my bag on the floor and fall down straight on the bed and doze off.
    Two kids are smiling and running while holding hands. They fall on the ground laughing. The one by left turn and it was Cameron and the one by the right turns facing Cameron and it was Lay smiling. Immediately, Cameron wakes up. He takes a bottled water by his left and he drinks it.
   "Why am I dreaming of Lay?". God help me. I heard when you dream of someone, you start liking him. Never. And a guy. Never. I look at my clock and on small desk at the left of my bed and the time is 5:30am. Better to stay awake and do some things. I do my morning routines and I wear a Jean and red t-shirt. I go to the kitchen and do dishes. I sweep the living room and do other things that mom could have done. I go back to my room and I see my phone light showing. I take my phone and I see a message from Facebook.
      Lay Wu wants to be your friend. What?!! Why does he want to be my friend. Could it be he has find out I'm his long lost best friend. I sit on my bed and I accept the friend request. Immediately, I receive a message from Lay.
'HI"
"HELLO"
"IS THIS CAMERON DHIELD?"
"YES. WHO ARE YOU?"
"IT'S ME CHEN"
Oh my gosh. Gosh. Gosh. Gosh. He really is Chen.what if he asks let's meet. No that can't happen.
"PLEASE WHO IS CHEN?"
"I KNOW YOU WOULD HAVE FORGOTTEN ME. REMEMBER OUR CHILDHOOD DAYS, THERE WAS THIS ASIAN BOY YOU PLAYED WITH SO MUCH AND YOU SAID WE WOULD BE BFF BUT WE GOT SEPARATED, UNFORTUNATELY."
"OH MY. CHEN IT REALLY IS YOU. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IT'S BEEN SO LONG. I REALLY MISSED YOU"
"ME TOO. COULD WE MEET UP?"
I knew this would happen.
"SURE. WHEN AND WHERE"
"TODAY AND AT THE COFFEE RESTAURANT BEHIND AHART COMPANY, KNOW THE PLACE?"
"YEAH I KNOW THE PLACE. SURE."
"LET'S MEET BY 12:00"
"OKAY."
"BYE SEE YOU SOON."
  This can't be happening. I can't meet him. It's just too sudden. I'm his worker and Jesus this is so confusing. I have an idea. I go to my calls and call my friend, Francis.
"Hello" says Francis
"Get your ass over to my house right now"
"Okay Jeez.  My ear hurts."

    After about 15 minutes. Francis comes to my house and we are in my room. I look at my wristwatch and it's 7;30. I still have enough time.
"Jeez. Cameron. What's wrong? You called me so early to come to your house"
"Just listen to me. Remember Chen?
"Yeah your Asian boyfriend when we were still kids?" He says smiling
"Just stop it. I was hired at a company he is the boss there but he doesn't know i work there with him and he just sent me a Facebook request and he says he wants to meet me today but I don't want. Can you just be representing me for the main time?"
"Hmmm. Why don't you want to meet him?"
"Now isn't the right time"
"Okay. But I want something in return.
"What?"
"Later, I will tell you. So when am I meeting Chen."
"A coffee restaurant behind Ahart by 12:00 and here is a book all about my likes and dislikes and his too. I don't know for now but I hope it helps"
"Time to get started"
