"You know you shouldn't go to work if you're feeling sick, Miss Sierrah."

Becca said to me looking so worried. I gulp the tablet of medicine that she gave to me and reach for the water on her hand.

"I know Becca, but I can't be absent without giving Triston works to do." I said then I blow my nose again in a tissue.

"Yes dear but you need to rest. You're sick."

"I will Becca. I just finish marking all of Triston's assigned seatworks then I will go home." I said giving her a small smile.

The study room door opens and Triston walks slowly towards me. There's sadness that can be see on his cute face.

"You should rest now Teacher. Promise me you will come to work quickly after you get better."

My heart clenched. I know he will be very sad if I absent. But I have a flu and I can't afford to infect Triston.

"I promise I will rest well, but promise me also you will study all of the pages that I mark on your books ok? Smile now buddy. Don't worry about me."

Triston doesn't reply, he just stand there and avoid looking at me. He's really upset, this is the first that we will not see each other.

Then he suddenly hugs me.

"Please get better soon Teacher. I will miss you."

I bite my lower lips to hold my tears.

"Yes buddy I promise. I will miss you too. I will get bored just laying in my bed the whole day." I look at his eyes and smiles.

"Oh I know! I will let you borrow my favorite book teacher so you don't get bored!"

"That's a nice idea! You're really very smart."

I said then Triston finally smiles and run towards his room to get his book.

"I will inform Thomas now to drive you home." I nods and Becca walk away.

I'm placing all of my things inside my bag when someone walks inside of the study room. Assuming it's Triston, I look up but my smile suddenly fades.

"Can I talk to you for a while?" Trent asks me while standing in front me.

By looking at him. I feel pained again, tears starts to accumulates in my eyes. I know I'm not ready to face him. I'm still so emotional.

"I'm sorry sir but I am not in a very good disposition now to talk."

"Sierra please I need... I need to talk to you about this. It's bothering me alot."

He said looking frustated. I stay mute, avoiding his gaze.

"Thomas said that you went to my office in the city. But it turn out like you didn't proceeds to meet me. Why is that? What happened?"

"I already gave to Mr. Ted the papers from Princeton Academy. I know that he already inform you about that sir, so I think we really don't need to talk-"

"That's not my question Sierrah. Why you don't want to talk to me? Are you avoiding me? Or there's something that you're keeping away from me?"

I heard the accusing tone on his voice. I don't know why but probably because I'm sick, my mind snaps. I stand and look at him with sharp eyes.

"Don't you dare accuse me! I am not the one who doesn't want to talk. May I remind you, you didn't go home for a week last time. And we both know that I am NOT the one who freaking keeping things in here. Who among us keep that he's a secret billionaire and distant relative of the queen?!"
