Bryan's POV.

After the boring weekend, I was so happy to wake up on the Monday morning, I couldn't wait to see my Giselle, I went into the bathroom, and have my bath preparing for school, but my phone rang all of a sudden and I had to ran out of the bathroom to pick it up, I was expecting a call, but when I got to the bedroom, and check the caller ID, it was my mom, and I picked it up.

“Hello mom,” I said. “Hello son,” I said from the other end. And I could hear noises from the other end, so I was curious about her whereabouts, “Mom, where are you?” I asked.

“I am on the expressway,” she said from the other end, and I wondered why.

“Expressway? But why?” I asked, and she explained.

“Okay Mom,” I said. “Don't get into trouble, and don't miss class,” she said from the other end, and smiled, because I memorized the line already.

“I won't mom,” I said, and she ended the call. I dropped my phone, and turned around, but my phone beeped and a notification popped up on the phone screen.
