It’s Saturday! Ashley is sitting on the floor beside her bed with colorful heart designs and a pink background bed sheet looking at the telephone. After she yawns she decided to give Joseph a phone call.

“Hey Josephine!”, Ashley said

“Who’s this?”, Joseph asked

“After calling your girly name you’ll just forget about me?”

“Oh! Is this Ash?”

Ashley sighed.

“Ash!!! You don’t know how happy I am to hear you calling me with that name!”

“If your happiness is the way to forget me, this is the first and last time I’ll call you Josephine.”

“Ash? I didn’t forget you, never! I’m just not ready for my reaction. So… why did you call me, by the way?”

“I just want to ask you out in a date.”

“You’re going to dress like a man again?”

“No…”

“Then I’m not free.”

“I want to train you.”

“Do you want an argument again?”

“Okay! Okay! I’ll do it. Let’s meet at the train station at 20:00.”, Ashley sighed

“Okay! See you there!”, Joseph hung up

Ashley threw the phone on her bed, rolled her eyes and then sighed. Joseph, after hanging up the phone saw his dad going downstairs. He quickly approached his dad and escorts him downstairs.

“Dad? Didn’t I tell you to just call me if you need something? You shouldn’t go downstairs like this!”

“Joseph, don’t worry about me. I can do this by myself.”, Mike smiled

“Don’t force yourself, okay?”

Mike smiled and taps Joseph’s right shoulder.

           Miss Anne was already taking about an hour walking through the whole campus, looks like she was up to something. She doesn’t have any idea why she’s there. She decided to go home but when she was a three step away from the school gate, she bumped a handsome man wearing a violet striped polo shirt and black slacks.

“Oh sorry!”, Miss Anne said while holding her forehead and her sight is on the floor

“It’s okay.”

“That voice…”, Miss Anne looked up “The coach of the swimming team!”, she pointed the coach with her index finger

“Oh hi Miss Anne!”

“Y-you…you know me?”

“Of course! Who won’t know such a dazzling woman like you in this campus?”

“You’re making fun of me.”, Miss Anne laughed sweetly

“No I’m not. You’re just that beautiful Miss Anne.”, he smiled

“Uh… Can I ask your name? Sorry but I really don’t-“, he touched Miss Anne’s lips by his index finger

“Shhh… I know I know… it’s okay.”, he winked “Just call me Jed.”, he smiled

“Jed…”, Miss Anne was mesmerized

Mr. Jed giggled. “So what are you doing here?”

“To tell you honestly, I don’t know.”
