Elise

I woke up feeling much excited I don't know why maybe it was because of my brand new car but then I'm just feeling free spirited. Even when I came down for breakfast Mom didn't let me be she brought up the topic of the dancing classes and I know I have no excuse to dodge her question not when Dad and Aria are literally staring me down.

"You didn't tell me anything about dancing classes. Though I spoke to Vanessa and she told me everything went well but then I want to hear it from you but you're literally dodging the topic"

I let out an exasperated breath. I have no escape. I omit out a sigh together with a small smile

"Yes mom it actually went well and I enjoyed the dance. So far it's good" I said forming my lips into a thin line.

"That's good. Next t-" I didn't allow her to complete her statement when I cut her off. "I'm busy Mom. My schedule is occupied the whole of this week and next week"

pretty much to say, there won't be next time. I only said what I need to say. Only to kill off the conversation.

"There might be at least a two hours free time. You can use that" I closed my eyes and opened them again.

"Mom. You know I'm doing it only for your sake. I don't know the reason why you're so keen on making me to take dancing classes" I voiced out.

"Of course you won't know. You guys don't know what we your parent are doing to give the best for you"

Okay, she's on with her emotional acts. She knew whenever she do that, it weaken us . Dad was conciously silent eating his breakfast. Dad is a kind of person who doesn't talk much. While mom is the opposite of that.

"Alright Mom, I've heard but please don't push me anymore. I promise to do any other thing but not dancing classes" I ushered my eyes going to the wall clock. It's already time for me to leave for work.

"Since you insist. You made the promise yourself" The way she said it with a smile tells me she'd cook something else. I just hope I didn't put myself more into trouble.

I cleaned my mouth with the table napkin and rose up to a standing position. "Aria can't you concentrate on your food for a minute" She was busy pressing on her phone. She barely touch her food.

"You're always pressing your phone. I'm seizing the  phone real soon" Mom said. Aria immediately squeezed her face into a frown. That suit her better.

  "All right. Mom, Dad, I'll be on my way see you guys later"

"Sis can you please drop me off at the college" Aria ushered standing up too.

"Now you have my time" I passed her a glare. She didn't say anything only flashed me a grin. We made our way out after saying our farewell to our parents.

Outside we met Mr. Williams warming up Dad's car. Mr. William's is our family personal driver. He's been with us since I can remember. You can say he's like a family.

"Good morning Mr. Williams" I greeted as I rounded to unlock my door.

"Morning Elise" He flashed me a smile. "Hope you had a great night"

"Yes Mr.Williams. Hope it's the same with you"

"Yes dear. The old man is up and strong. By the way, I like your car" And that made a smile out of me. I'm glad that people are noticing the car.

"Thank you Mr. Williams. I got it painted yesterday"

"That's nice. The person who did the work is really skilled. I like it"

Only if he knew the extent I went through for the fixing. Only If he knew. I only flashed him a smile. "I will be on my way then"

"Have a great day girls"

"Bye Mr. Williams" And we got into the car and drove on our way.

While in the car, Aria kept talking on the phone. Sending voice notes to her friends. Which is basically about boys. I wonder if there's any other thing in her head apart from boys talk. "I hope you're focusing on your studies and not stalking boys" I said when I heard a giggle erupt from her at some joke. A joke I had no idea what it was about.

"Yes Sis. If I don't, Mom wouldn't have sit idle. Wait till you see our part time mathematics teacher"

"Part time teacher? Is there something like that?"

"Yeah. Our teacher went on an important trip, so he's taking over. Even though it's for a short while. Oh my God, just his body is a sight to droll on. And not to talk of his eyes. His eyes are so-"

"Do you want to get off here?" She glance at the window. We were on the middle of this road. And I wouldn't think twice to drop her off. After all, I'm only helping her. It's not like I'm the one taking her to school.

"I'm sorry" She said in a slow voice resting her back down. And that was the end of her boys fantasy. My car came to a halt in front of the college.

"Thank you sis. You're the best" She unlocked the door and got out of the car. I was about to drive my car away when she turned back.

"Oh my God, I just saw the teacher" She almost shouted.

"What teacher?" I asked not getting her.

"The part time teacher. He's going towards that direction" With the way it sounded weird to me, the curiosity to check out the person grew in me. I was curious to know who the person my sister is all giddy about is. I followed her pointing hands. But all I could see is his back. Before I could talk, she sprinted away. I spared the figure a second glance. His back was facing me but then again, he looks familiar. Like I've seen him before.
