“Hi, Cara, nice that you have a new friend now. He looks smart and sweet. Today, I feel like I want to meet you in person. However, I will give you more time to be ready. I will meet you the soonest.”

Well, it’s nice if she will meet him as of this moment. After reading the letter, she immediately went out of her house to see if Mr. Smith was still outside. As he had the courage to send his letter through Choco.

When she immediately went out of her house, she just realized she couldn’t see his face unless he showed himself in front of her.

She was about to get back inside when she noticed unfamiliar faces outside. Some men in their neighborhood are moving things from a mobile truck. Maybe a new neighbor will move into their neighborhood today.

She went back inside to avoid meeting their new neighbor as she hates being friendly to them. She is not a snub. Living a quiet life is just her hobby.

Dingdong!!!

“Cara! We have a visitor sweetie, get yourself down here!” Her mom called her when she was ready to take her nap before going back to school later.

Whoever is the visitor, she doesn’t care. Her mom always disturbed her rest whenever she has a visitor. This time she shrugged and continued her nap.

……..

“You’ve grown up tall and handsome. Cara just went back from school. Maybe she is resting right now. You can meet up later at any time since we are neighbors again.” Cara’s mom is still the same. She always adores him. 

Their family moved into this neighborhood again. He remembered the time he played with her at the playground. They were close as best friends back then until his cousin Vince joined them. If not because of Cara, Vince is not living his life unremarkably.

“Thank you. I wish Cara will remember me like you are still adoring me. And you are looking younger than yesterday, Mrs. Perez.” He replied to her and also complimented her.

“And you’re still the same sweet boy I always adore back then.”

Like yesterday, he’s doing his best to gain lots of brownie points from her parents. So when his parents decide to go back to this neighborhood, he feels energized whenever she thinks Cara will be near him again.

“Mom, I’m going back to school now. Who is our visitor?” Finally, he meets her long-time friend again.

She’s getting downstairs, asking her mom while curiously checking him out. She is wearing her school uniform like a model. This is the first time to meet her in a long time. She’s still pretty like yesterday.

“Hi, Cara! Do you remember who I am?” He greeted her first. However, she looked perplexed.

“She is your childhood friend, sweetie. Don’t you remember Will?” But Mrs. Perez spoiled his little plan by making her curious if she will remember him at some point.

“I lost my childhood memory. I don’t think I can remember you.” She just reacted like she wasn’t at all interested in seeing him or she doesn’t really remember him as his friend.

“Their family just moved into our neighborhood again. Are you going back to school again? I thought you have no class today.” Her mom broke the awkwardness.

“Oh, I see. I need to go back to the library and return these books.” However, she’s still cold as ice as he thinks so.

“Aren’t you going to school too? You can go together in her car.” Her mom, referring to him, asked him. She’s doing a favor for him to catch up with her.

“Oh, yes, I am.” He answered abruptly while staring at Cara.

“Mom, I’ll fetch Jean on my way.” But she is avoiding him.

“It’s alright Mrs. Perez. We can catch up later, right Cara?” He said it to her to make her comfortable with him. But she just nodded and walked out fast.

………..........

She hates the friendly face of that new guy in the neighborhood. Even though her mother told her he was her childhood playmate then. She’s not a girl anymore who will go together playing alone with a boy she doesn’t know. Her mother was too complacent with that guy.

She just made an alibi about fetching Jean on her way. Honestly, she’s going back alone.

She returned the books that she borrowed at the library and get another stack of books for her to read at home.

She started searching for interesting books in the Science section. She couldn’t skip every book that caught her eye. For an hour or two, window shopping for a different topic of books in the library is her new hobby.

Searching again for another book, her feet brought her to the fiction book section.

“Get me out of here.” She untouched her finger when she saw an interesting book about romance stories. So she warned herself and skipped this section.

She continued walking to search for another interesting reading in the magazine section.

But she suddenly stopped walking when she noticed something. She later realized there is an eye staring at her while she was browsing through books.

Those eyes were across the section where she was standing earlier. She returned to the place and looked back again. But the one who’s staring at her has gone.

She continued walking in the middle section and try-catch those eyes. She seated herself on the floor for her to hide.

Someone is following her for real. She doesn’t have paranoia. The real stalker is there in the library. She felt nervous as a cat.

She can’t able to move in her seat as she heard some big footsteps nearing her place. She left her phone in the locker so she can’t make calls and get some help. This library is so enormous that anyone can get into trouble with bad guys. 

She wanted to scream but she can’t because she feels herself chilling. She heard the steps again until she lost consciousness.

The guy that she was looking for in the entire Science department last time. The only thing that she noticed, she can clearly see his face now. He is no longer wearing his cap.

    “Oh, so you’ve met him?” Jean reacted to her like she already knew it will happen as she expected. As she told her about her encounter with the guy who brought her to the hospital. “So, what about him? Wasn’t he the guy in your dream? Do you remember him, you know, the sketch?” Jean asked her the thing that she doesn’t even know what she was talking about. Until she showed her a photo from her phone. She can’t believe what’s happening in her mind. The guy in ripped jeans, I mean the guy named Vince as far as she remembers it clearly, totally has a resemblance to the photo that Jean showed her. And what Jean told her about this dream of hers was definitely out of her sanity. “Dear, I swear, I remember nothing else about the dream that you were saying. And with that sketch, I couldn’t find it in my room. Also, those things that you said that I tell you before. I can’t remember any single of them. I’m a blank slate.” “Aren’t you dreaming anymore?

    She went straight to her first-period class, leaving the guy in a rush. As she felt embarrassed on the way she left him without a word of thank you for giving her a ride. He made her blush while pondering the question he asked her. It’s a blessing in disguise, they aren’t classmates in her first class. What a first-time feeling to be in such an uncomfortable situation. But why is she feeling this way? He just asked her if she has a boyfriend. She’s not imagining he wants to flirt with her. But basically, she’s assuming that. “Scratched away that thought, Cara Nathalia!” She warned herself. She’s not interested in him. “You’re just, schoolmates.” That should be her thought. “Hey, what are you thinking?” Another guy from X-Men.

I am mature enough to make my own decision. I remembered my childhood past. Vince and I already talked about it, and he understands everything even about her parents.

I'm not sure if I can leave Vince alone. He's my friend, after all.""Look over there! See that big cave? If you can get Vince to go there, you can play with him as much as you want.

Will is plotting something for Cara's unsuspecting mind. Vince already anticipates that at any minute she will approach him to carry out Will's deceitful scheme. He turned back quickly to disguise himself from their conversation as he heard them talking about him. A minute later, Cara went to him running her tiny little feet wearing her cute sandals."Hey Vince, let's go on an adventure! I found an awesome place we can explore together.

    "I don't want to end this." She whispered in her mind when Vince ceased for a moment. Like a wild tigress, she drew him with her alluring play. Unlike those memories in the past that her mind brought, what they are doing right now is not in her wildest hopes to happen. This is very new to her. The emotion she feels rages inside her like a beautiful disaster blasting suddenly. "Oh please, penalize me." She again whispered but in his ear, permitting him to do what he had to from the start of his zeal. She offered herself to him. They filtered those negatives and allowed themselves to give in to their bursting emotion. Allowing themselves to be driven by each other's embrace is the cure for all the wounds they had in the past. She now had this feeling of blaming their parents for what they incurred in their minds because of that thoughtless remorse. Even when she remembered, everything that happened wasn't their fault. Reminding herself of selfishness is not her thing anymore. When she r

Nevertheless, she still found her way to him again when her feet brought her to the hidden room at the library. She looked like she was hypnotized after she read his message. Perhaps she admits to herself that she is missing him. Heading her stride like a fool walking near the end section of the library, she is excitedly feeling nervous. A mixed emotion is raging inside her. She was going inside the hidden room when she sensed a strange atmosphere. She saw Vince on his back and quickly turned around when he heard her footsteps as she entered the room.

He was planning to come home early, but he felt uneasy about her sister exhibiting her brat-like attitude toward Cara. Looking from afar while walking near them, he saw them looking familiar to each other, but he sensed Cara's face looked like she was just being nice to her sister's undefined character. As if she already knows how to handle her. "I knew you'll find it hard to make friends here easily knowing your snot character, my dear sister. My appreciation for Cara because she could accommodate your type." He bluntly remarked on her sister the instant he went near their table.
