Chapter 6

I walked home while remembering what happened in one day. I couldn't go with my brother because he said they were going to do something right away, he asked me if I would wait for him but I said no because I don't feel comfortable staying here at school, especially now I feel like I'm dirty.

I tried to remember what my teachers said but I only remembered one thing. I looked at my shoes and the annoyance returned to me.

I wiped my shoes so it returned to its original shine but my socks were very dirty because of the mud from the shoes of that skinny man. Mom will scold me for this. I will wash my uniform.

I hope my studies will go well. I will improve so that I can help mom and brother.

A week went by SO fast. It's only the first week but we've done a lot, a far cry from elementary school which is just a proper game after school. Now each subject has assignments, quizzes and activities. Even the first year is tiring. How about in the next years?

How much is done in each subject, that's how much I spend. It's embarrassing for mom because I'm adding to my pocket, my brother is also the one I run to when I'm short. To save money, I don't take recess anymore and I just eat more food at home.

But the temptation is not far from me. I bit my lip too much while looking at a cart of streetfoods. We are already out of school because we are going home. This is my second Monday in school

"Raffa, my pick-up is here. I'm going home, right?" I lost sight of the cart and turned to Matri-- the one next to me in the room. We are quite close now and are always together. Like today, I accompanied him to wait for his service car.

I smiled at him. "Alright, take care, Matri! Tomorrow!" I even extended my palm to him to have sex, which he just accepted.

"Are you really going to call me Matri? You can choose between my two names. I'm unique." I laughed at what he said, because her name is Maia Trisha and I just mixed it up so it became Matri. He is so cute that he deserves a cute nickname.

"That's okay because I'm the only one who will call you that. Your old driver is already picking you up! Baby!" He just waved at me and got into his car.

I waited for his car to get away before I decided to walk home. I can't keep up with my brother because he's busy with their group activity. I don't know there.

But I stopped walking when I remembered the streetfoods cart. It's been a long time since I ate again. Maybe I'll just treat myself from the tiring first week.

I ran back to the streetfoods cart. The smile never left my lips when I saw the toasted fishballs and kikiam, the round kwek kwek and hotdog.

"Brother, I'm a penge cup." I asked my brother who sells. He gave me a cup so I started skewering fishballs and kwek kwek. That belongs to my brother because he is looking at me.

My big cup was filled, I put a mixture of sweet and vinegar sauce and then I ate. I closed my eyes, it was delicious!

"Brother, your sauce is delicious! From now on, I'm your favorite!" I happily told my brother who sells.

Rafflesia, how is your savings?

"Thank you, miss, and you liked it. I'll expect that, right?" The salesman said happily.

Come on. "Yes," Maybe I can save up little by little. I really love this streetfoods.

I just ate and ate and poked more. That's okay, I didn't take a break for a week. I'm just excited but I'll pay the price the next day.

"Hi, baby." I stopped eating when I heard a voice. It's familiar and immediately makes my head heat up.

I took a deep breath and slowly faced that man. I stared at him from head to toe, I was going to be impressed again because of the handsomeness of this man but I immediately shook my head realizing that my suspicion was correct.

He was the man who stepped on my shoe on the first day of school. I'm sure it's him!

"I didn't know you liked this kind of food, baby." This guy is really cool!

He also had a big cup in his hand and it was full of different streetfoods. He is the one I should ask why he is here eating. From the bag he's carrying now and the way he stands up, it can be seen that this man is rich but he's eating at this restaurant.

I faced him. "Why are you here?! You're the man who stepped on my shoe last Monday! Why did you do that? Why?!" I said annoyed as I poked him with the stick I was eating.

He laughed again. "So you don't forget me." He said with a smile.

"What?!" I couldn't understand what he was saying but the look on his face really disgusted me.

"That's where my grandfather and grandmother stayed." I was even more surprised by what my salesman brother said. It's like he's teasing. Is he teasing us?

"That's just your grandfather and grandmother, man." The man blocked the salesman. It's a really bad attitude!

"Hey! Fix your answer before I kick you, why did you kick my shoe?" I said bored.

He doesn't answer me and just eats streetfoods while laughing. I think this is really abnormal.

So you don't forget me? What is that answer? Annoying!

So I did the same thing, I hurried the food, I finished everything in my cup and drank the cold one. Then I fumbled for my wallet to pay the salesman and get out of here! I don't want to be with this guy.

I was just wondering when I couldn't find the wallet in my uniform pocket. I only put my wallet here, I only put it in my pocket.

Maybe I just put it in my bag. I shouldn't be nervous. That's why I threw the cup I was holding in the trash and took my bag from the back. I dropped it but my wallet wasn't there!

where is my wallet
