Cerise's POV

While me and Hailey are enjoying our snacks, both of us started exchanging stories.

"So Cerise," Hailey started. "did you have new friends?"

"Yeah I did. They are very friendly. They're names are Tob--" But before I could finish, she interrupted me. "I was just asking if you have new friends. No need to tell me their names." Hailey said with a smile.

Did I just smell jealousy?

I just smiled at her back. Hailey did smile when she when interrupted me, but behind that fake smile, is somewhat real sadness, pain, or even anger.

I checked the time and it's already 5:30. After bidding goodbye to Hailey, I grabbed some taxi. I also texted mom that I'm already going home. After 15 minutes, I reached home. After I pressed the doorbell, the door opened, revealing and middle aged woman, which is my mother.

I went inside and sat on the couch. "How was your hangout with Hailey?" She asked, while preparing food. I told her about how we exchanged stories and eating snacks, leaving the part where Hailey interrupted me.

"Dinner is ready, darling." Mother said. I head to the kitchen and sat on the chair. We prayed, and then started eating.

I volunteered on washing the dishes after dinner. And here I am, washing the plates. After 10 minutes, I was done with my work and then I started heading to my room. I jumped on my bed and then grabbed my phone. I went to Messenger to see if anyone's online. Natalie isn't but Toby is. I started typing:

xXCerise13Xx - Hey Toby! WASSUP

Then I pressed send. After a minute or two, he replied:

~•WaffleIsLyfe•~ - Hi Cerise. Just bandaging my wounds...

xXCerise13Xx - O-O Why? Did something happen to you? What happened?

~•WaffleIsLyfe•~ - My father was drunk. And there... He used me as a punching bag, same goes with my mother.

xXCerise13Xx - Looks like I'm not the only one huh...

~•WaffleIsLyfe•~ - Your father too...?

xXCerise13Xx - Yes. He is very alcoholic. He would always use me as a punching bag. But enough about our fathers. Is your wound okay?

~•WaffleIsLyfe•~ - Yeah. I'm already down putting a bandage.

xXCerise13Xx - You sure?

~•WaffleIsLyfe•~ - Yep. Anyways, how was your day?😇

xXCerise13Xx - It was fun! I was hanging out with my childhood friend, Hailey.

~•WaffleIsLyfe•~ - Who's Hailey???

xXCerise13Xx - Wait I haven't told you about her?

~•WaffleIsLyfe•~ - Nope, never heard of her.

xXCerise13Xx - Hailey, as I have said, my childhood friend. When we were young, we are inseparable. We sometimes hangout during free time. So yeah.

~•WaffleIsLyfe•~ - I see. Btw, have you answered your homework in History already? Tomorrow is the deadline ya know.

xXCerise13Xx - OH SHIT. I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT.😱

~•WaffleIsLyfe•~ - Tsk tsk tsk. Language Cerise.

xXCerise13Xx - Sorryyyyyyyy...... Its just that I completely forgot about it. Gotta go now Toby. I need to answer my homework. Bye~

~•WaffleIsLyfe•~ - See ya~

After the conversation we had, I went to my study table. I placed my History book and my notebook. Then I started flipping the pages. "Page 349..." I said in my mind. "Find ya." I said. When I looked at the page, there were 20 freaking questions. "You can do this Cerise!" I said to myself.

The next day...

"What happened to you? You looked exhausted." Asked Natalie. I am now at school, walking in the hallways. "Homework." I said with a tired look on my face. "Oh." We finally reached our classroom and sat on our chairs.

"Did you do your homework?" I asked her. "Nah. I forgot. I was busy drawing some stuff." she said with a smile. "Oh~ So that's why you were not online yesterday at Messenger." Toby said, squinting his eyes at her. "Sorry. You know I hate multitasking." Natalie replied.

While waiting for the teacher to arrive, we shared different stories. A knock was made, directing everyone's attention at the door. The teacher arrived with a exhausted look on her face. She placed her stack of books and papers on the wooden table. Looks like I'm not the only one who slept at midnight huh. I thought to myself. Then everyone returned to their perspective seats.

Even with a exhausted look, Ma'am Rein still greeted us with a joyful voice. "Good morning class!" We greeted her back with a smile. "Today we are going to have surprised test today. But before that, please pass your homework I gave you last week."

The students, including me, started getting their notebook from their bags, and passed them forward.

The teacher must have noticed that Natalie didn't bring -scratch that- didn't do her homework. Ma'am Rein walked towards her seat, a disappointed look on her face.

"Miss Oulette where is your homework?" she asked. Natalie faced her with a poker face. "I didn't do my assignment." she replied. "Miss Oulette, this is the 2nd time you didn't do your homework. You will clean the classroom later as punishment." Natalie just sighed.

After that, class started. Ma'am Rein discussed about plants. I started writing some important notes in my notebook while drawing on my sketchbook. I just love multitasking! Some people said multitasking might result to unfinished things. But I don't care. It's easier for me when I multitask!

* * *

I was doing my art stuff then the bell rings. "Hey what's the next subject?" I asked Sam, my classmate. "Dude, it's already dismissal time." "Oh." I replied.

I didn't know time passes really fast. Then I arranged my things. "Natalie, let's go!" I said cheerfully. "Sorry Cerise. I still need to clean as my punishment remember?" She said, with a sad face. "It's okay!~" I said to her with a smile on my face. Natalie smiled back.

"Looks like you really changed huh." She said. "Yeah..." Since the day I had Toby and Natalie, I became more livelier.

Then suddenly, my phone rings. I grabbed my phone from my pocket and answered it. "Hello Mom! What is it?" I asked. It took her some seconds to answer, which made me worried. "Mom? Is there something wrong?"

"Cerise... s-she's..."

"She?"

"Hailey. S-she's...
