Samuel pov

I was heading to my home smiling to myself. Just don't know why I feel so happy and my heart feel so light.

So, he will spend his time with me.
And what about Jay? I should tell him that I won't be able to have fun with him.

Sorry... Jay.

Its night already and the moonlight and the street lamps are the only source of light that illuminate the street and the surrounding. Many people walked by with their love ones and some returning from work.

Summers are arriving. I could feel the smell and heat of it.

"I am home..."

Clang! THUD!

What's going on inside the house?

"I AM FED UP! FED UP OF STAYING IN THIS HELL HOLE!!"

Mom and dad were fighting in the living room. Here goes my peaceful night.

"THEN LEAVE!! I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT FACE OF YOURS!! I TOO AM FED UP WITH YOU!!"

"Mom! Dad! Stop it will you! Its embarrassing to fight while all the neighbour could hear us."

I tried to stop them but it was in vain. I don't know what is the cause of the fight. But I am sure the cause is financial problem.

The fight died down after a while. We had dinner without speaking a word to each other. It was an awkward dinner.

I resigned to my room, my body got sore and its paining with all this stress.

I saw the Calla lily lying undisturbed at the table.

He sure is a nice guy.

I smile remembering his nice words, smile and his kind gesture. Again my face heated up which I had to rub my cheeks to cool down.

I am now questioning my gender.

I sat on my bed sighing loudly. It's a tiring day.

I sat up and picked up the flower.

So, where should I put this?

Should I get a vase? Will there be one?

I walked out of my room closing the door silently. Walking towards the kitchen, the light is still on.

"Mom..." She turned around.

She seems in too much of a stress.

"What do you want?"

"Is there a small vase?"

"Why? There might be one in the store room."

"Okay...i will search for it." I turned to leave but she stop me.

"Samuel..."

"Yes.. Mom."

"Can you help me a bit this time?"

What kind of help?

"What is it?"

"Huhhh!! Its your sister's monthly fees for her school. Exams are near and I had to clear it for her. For this your dad and I had a fight before."

I stood quietly near the door.

"Okay... When should it be clear?"

"It will be in the first week of the next month. The days are not that near but I want to arrange the money in advanced."
