First stepping stone.....

Lexa's POV

It's already 7am and my partner isn't here yet. Some of our classmates are already pissed and blaming him for the time we wasted. After 30 minutes, we saw our school's celebrity running towards as beaming. Our teacher welcomes him like there was no bothersome happened.

We're on a trip to Socialization for our activity that our teacher had planned for us. We are assigned to search for a family to live with for 3weeks. We should help them with their daily task in their house like cleaning, washing the dishes, cooking, anything that can sweat you off! They are not just a family that you can see everyday with perfect clothing, foods to eat and can sleep well at night. These families that will handle by the junior section B, are people you can see walking around with their bare feet, malnourished body, asking for alms, and can't eat three times a day are from slum areas.

Each of us parted away with their partners. I, with this annoying monster who kept blabbing about these kind of people who live here, made our own way to find our own family to take care. We scan the neighborhood and after we passed by at the mini store which has few varieties that are displayed, we got the family that we will take care for the rest of the week.

Panda Guy's POV

And at last we found our house! I'm so excited to get inside, arrange my stuffs and get some sleep. I haven't slept last night because of something..Well it's a secret for now. *wink* we were introduce to the entire family by the head of the family, the father. There are three kids, 2 boys and one girl. I saw Lexa smiling at the kid near her. The girl. Seeing her smile again can make me smile also. "uhhh." Mr. Henseman got my attention. I was smiling while he's explaining everything. I chuckled. Lexa stared at me with a question on his face.

All we did this day is knowing each of the Hensemen family. Her wife died long time ago and left with his three kids. John, who is the eldest of the family, taking Bachelor of Information Systems at Urbanlenon University followed by Runi and an 8th grader. Lastly, Jelianna, 8 years old and such an adorable kid. She likes to smile always and talks to everybody. She's with Lexa right now and they were talking about her crush in school. They were laughing the whole talks.

Then evening came. We're all in this small room where some of us can't lay their bodies inside. Yes, and the house is really small.

"Where should we sleep?" I asked Mr.Henseman

"You can sleep here" he's taping his normal sized bed.

"And where are you going to sleep then?" I asked.

"I can sleep outside." he smiled.

"No, it's getting called outside. I can sleep out there" I said. I'm not seeing this old man with age 63 sleeping out side.

"No, it's really ok. You are my visitor." he insisted.

We argued about 1hour and Lexa volunteered to be the one who'll sleep outside. We don't have food this night because Mr.Henseman was kicked out by the company he was working. I decided to offer my money but I remember that our teacher said that we can't offer money but we can exert effort like working and get paid. We are the ones who will search for our work. Good thing we found dried fish and made it as our food for tonight.

"Good night everybodyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" Jelianna said cherfully to all of us.

"Good night, Jelianna!" we all greeted her back.
