Smile. 

She smiled then she walked away. And me? I just stopped due to… I don't know. I just stopped. When do I even talk to her? When I can choose not to? 

I went home. I don't know. The words she spoke did hurt me inside. I was the one who was talking to her. She should be thankful that somebody would still talk to her! 

I waited for night to come. My parents and my brother were not home yet. Probably went to the mall or something. Hmm. Whatever. Let me just play some— 

DING DONG. 

I was surprised to hear the doorbell. Is that our new maid? But dad said she'd come next week.I didn't hear any vehicle , so that's not my mom. And that's not my brother Gerald because he never knew how to knock. Since there was nobody in the house but me , I had to go for the door. Who could this possibly be? 

“Hi.” 

I don't know what to do. If I'd tell her to get lost or come in. But why would I tell her to get lost—or invite her in? 

“Uh—What are you doing here? And how did you know that this was my house?” 

“I'm just going to give you something. I saw your bike outside so I thought this was your house.” 

“What's this?” 

“A box.” 

“I know that this is a box. But what's inside this box?” 

“Do you know the word 'open'?” 

“Uh , yeah. Sorry."

I was a little embarrased. I sensed that she wanted me to open it in front of her. 

“What's this?” 

“Do you know the word 'seed'?” 

“Yes I know. But what kind of seed?” 

“Boiled rose seeds.”
