“Em, is this what you really want?”  He was trying to hide his emotion. He has to maintain the macho image, where men don’t cry.

“Yes” she force herself  to speak clearly.

“Okay. No problem.”

She embraced him “Thank you so much Dy, I never have thought this would make it easy for you.. for me” sign of relief. She was nearly teary, but controlled herself.

“Easy, I might get tempted to kiss you in front of these people”

“You are crazy!” she pinched him on his side.

She completed her clearance the entire day. She went to the Church, she thanked God for the extraordinary luck she received for the entire year she stayed on that school. She specifically thanked God for Santiago’s positive response.

She spent the entire summer break being lazy at home. She never went out to visit any of her friends. She sleeps, eat and watch TV

Enrolment day.

Her Mom woke her up early in the morning to prepare for the enrolment. It was sunny day. She was so positive that everything would turn out good. Her mom was more excited than her for her new school. She missed Diddy.

First day of enrolment, yet crowded. She and her mom endured the queue for filling out forms, going back and forth to the windows where her papers were being processed. The enrolment windows contain numbers which stuck on the wall, written the step by step procedures of the enrolments.

Mayvonne and her mom were all sweaty. They now then reach the 5th step of the enrolment, (which is 3rd to the last step) the interview with the guidance and the directress principal of the school (which were nuns). She took the interview, while her mom waited for her outside.

The interviewee asked her about her characters. She was asked anything about her family, the morality of his ancestry (sounds weird), & even psychological motivations which she thought was asked to determine her sanity.

She passed all the interviews. She was given recommendation to go to cashier and pay. And poof! she is officially enrolled.

They went to the cashier. While in the queue, she asked her mom that she would be going to the toilet and pee. While on her way to the toilet, she saw a cute guy dropped something. She picked up the thing and immediately approached the cute boy's attention.

‘Hey! You dropped this thing” raising the thing he dropped. It was a chain with a pendant, which she did not scrutinize.

The boy looked her. He smiled. She doesn’t understand why her heartbeat suddenly beats fast.

“Hmm. Thank you, this thing is really important to me” he saw her face closely. He was astonished because, she looks like someone he knew.

“No problem,” she felt the urge of going to the toilet already, “mind you if I go ahead?” she runs toward the toilet

“S-sure. Okay, but..  wait! What’s your name?” the guy asked, but Mayvonne disappeared to the toilet.

Sad by the girl's disappearance. The guy walk ahead.

(Who is this guy? What do you think is the role of his character to Mayvonne’s?, the question will be revealed on next chapter ..
