CHAPTER 4

CLAIRE

"Mom, I missed you so much!"

"Oh anak, I missed you too.."

"Here are your clothes.."

My mom said while giving me my clothes. In return, I also gave her my used clothes.

"Are you okay here, Claire?" My mom said. She looks like she was very afraid. Her face became pale.

"Mom, dont worry, I'm fine."

"How's your first week here?"

"Oh, mom... This school is really good! I wanted to spend four years here.. The teachers are good to all of us. My classmates are quiet, but they are cooperative.. I had a friend here... He is also quiet but he is good to me.."

I said. I was talking about Zach Bernie. I thought he was my friend... At least, even if he's not talking that much, he was still kind..

"Is-- your friend a GUY?!?!?"

"Mom, yes.. He's actually nice."

"Do you have a boyfriend?!"

"MOM! No! I dont have any!"

I was surprised when she laughed. I think she's just teasing me. Well, I could not blame her. I am a college student, yet I have NO boyfriend since birth. But yuck! Boys! Yuck!

It was late then when I noticed that we are inside the principal's office. So I said to the principal if we could go to my room in the dormitory. At least, because I am the only person in my dorm room(But there is an extra bed for another person), We could shout there and have some privacy. Miss Bernardo said its okay. so we didnt waste any time.

The dormitory is at the second building. The office of the principal is at the first building. So we have to walk for a few meters.. The boy's dorm and the girl's dorm is in the second building. Because the building is so big, I think they just decided to have both dormitories inside.

BUT THE SHOWER OF GIRLS IS SEPARATED TO THE SHOWER OF BOYS!!!!! DONT THINK OF ANYTHING!

We are mow in the dorm.. Because my room is in the second floor, we had to take a few steps to the stairs.

"Claire, I'm so tired. I'm old!! I cant believe it!"

"Mom! You're not that old.. It will just be steps away.."

I laughed silently.. Mom's really not that old. She's just making me laugh.

I am carrying big bags because of the clothes so I cant see the way that good. So good luck for me!

I was in the last step of the stairs when my left foot got hit by the lower metal handle of the  stairs. It hurts!

"Ouch!!"

Because my mom was too slow, she is seven--I think--steps away..

So, the finale? The clothes fell and my face will be hit by the floor. But sudenly, before it happens, my hand holded something. And the hand who saved me got mine and helped me stand up. Okay, how did my mom got up that fast and helped me?

"Are you okay?"

I heared a familiar voice. I smelled the scent of my father. I felt a soft hand. I felt that hand on the first day of  the school year. I cant see the face of my savior. Hah. Its because I am still picking my damn clothes. My savior helped me. I now know that she's not my mom. Because I heared my mom shouted when I barely kissed the floor.

"I'm o-----------Zach Bernie?!?!"

My heart beat three times faster and the butterflies in my stomach began to have a dance party..

"Anyonghaseyo beautiful joker..  Glad I caught you.. Hi madam.. "

"Hi anak.You are handsome neh?"My mom said. I am just listening to both of them while I'm still shocked.. KYAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

"Thank you po."

"No, thank you for saving my daughter's face and clothes.."

"Actually madam, I didnt save your daughter's clothes. But, you're welcome po!"

"Dont call me madam.. It looks like I am old when you call me 'Madam'. Just call me Tita Grace."

"You're welcome po tita Grace."

"That's better.."They both smiled at each other. What the?

"Mom, he was the friend I said to you earlier..."

"By the way, thanks Bernie.."

I finally talked. I wanna say to my mother that he is kind. And there he is, proving my statements without even knowing it. After thanking him, we go to my  room.

Is it just me or they are close already?

ZACH

I was about to go to the store outside the dormitory to buy art materials when I saw Claire bringing  some bags. I was about to laugh because she looks like a vendor of clothes when I saw her slipped so I ran as fast as I can to help her. I thought her face will reach the floor so I holded her hands tightly, I will not let her go. Thank God she's okay.

I felt her soft hand, I helped her to get her clothes. She's so nervous, I can feel.

Then, Claire and her mother went to her room.

"Why is her mother here??"

"Why are you asking?"

I heared someone murmured. I looked around, there's no one except me..
