" I was attending my lecture, as usual, Mathematics lecture was going on. As of today, mam will be going to give us notes."

' Mam was teaching us math when one of the new students entered the class.

' Jason the new boy, asked mam,

May I come In??

' Math Teacher, permits him in.'

' Yes Come in.' said Mam.

Mam Introduce him,

Mam said, Hello class attention here, see he was a new student, who was transferred from City A ( St. Joseph Convent High School ).

Mam gave him the seat on the third bench of the first row

' His school is considered as the prestigious school and in all over the city A,'

" But Our School is also not less than that, it's also famous among the Elite because of teaching Faculty and Amazing teachers with vast knowledge and experience. It Comes in the Top Ten of the Country A School, Springfield Elementary School is well-known among all the people in ( Country A ) because of its Knowledge, faculty, and of course, importantly they offer students with practical knowledge and Extracurricular Activities."

" The boy introduced himself as Jason Mathew and took his seat on the Third bench of First Row. After Introduction Mam Continued with the lecture, Mam taught us how to solve the Polynomials as it is new for us, and also distributed the notes from which we can practice more for this chapter, Once mam finished with the distribution."

" The bell rang to indicate that our lecture is over, and we can carry on with our next lecture. It was an English lecture, Mam hasn't come to the class. So being the Monitor of the class, I have to go and check out lecture status as to whether it will be conducted or not."

" When I went to meet the English Mam, she informed me that she was not able to conduct lectures because she needed to prepare an English Unit Test Paper. Mam informed me of this and told me to make an announcement."

" So after coming back to the class, I passed this information to all my classmates. I informed the class that " Our English mam is a bit busy with the preparation of the Unit Test Paper". So we don't have an English lecture today. After completing the announcement, I went back to my assigned seat."

" All students were completing their work and some of them were going to the canteen or to the libraries to study. "

The new student who introduced himself as Jason came and sat beside me, and started asking about the syllabus for the upcoming Unit Test Exam.

I gave him the Syllabus for the upcoming exam."

After some time he hadn't gone to his place, so I asked him, " Do you need anything else? "

Jason: " Said No, ' I don't need anything. I was just wondering if you don't mind, can you show me around the campus?"

Alexa: " I was contemplating what I should answer him. Because I was having the assignment to complete. And directly saying NO, will sound rude from my end ".

Jason: " I asked her to show me around the campus, but did not get an answer directly. After some time. I reassured her that it was not a problem at all, if you are busy, I will roam around the campus by myself."

Alexa: " No it's not a problem at all", I will show you around the campus. I pack up my belongings and put them in the bag. and tell him to let's go."

Jason: " She agreed to show me around the campus''. That was a relief because I was thinking that she would decline it. Being in the new surroundings and not knowing much about it, Is not a good idea to roam around the school and get lost here on campus. so I was thinking of asking someone.

Jason ( POV )

" So I approach her because I don't think she is a materialistic or fake person. After all, when I entered the class, everyone was checking me out. but this girl does not even bother to look at who enters the class."

"Just busy with her work and doing her work without bothering about her surroundings. "

" Even though I don't know why I only approached her in the first place. Something about her is so different, I just wanted to talk to her. so why not just ask her to show me around."

" As we were going down to the ground floor from the stairs, I started engaging in the conversation between us. like " asking her about the school work and assignments ". Talking to her is good because she doesn't even let me feel like a newcomer. She is so friendly, very helpful, and answers all my questions very politely."

Alexa ( POV )

" I showed him around the campus, Introduced him to the college canteen where he can hang out with his friends."

' when the topic of friends came he asked me if he could be my friend. Because In this school he doesn't have any friends.'

' So I said why not, yeah I would love to be your friend, so by shaking hands with each othe we become friends.'

" Like this, our whole school day is completed with study and talking with Jason about other things, and now it's time for us to go home. as the bell rang to indicate that our last lecture is over."

" Everyone started leaving the class to go home, I was also preparing to leave when Jason came around my table to ask me if I was leaving.

I said " Yeah " I am also leaving.

" We both went together to the school gate. After that, he leaves for his home."

" At the same time, I got a message from an unknown contact number asking me to meet that person near the school terrace."

" I think someone might be needed my help there, so without having a second thought, I went towards the terrace."

" When I reached there on the terrace, I met with the back of some girl looking at the sky. I started walking towards her."

' when she felt my presence behind her, she turned around, at the same time when I wanted to ask her, Did you call me just now?

But I keep my mouth shut.'

"She started talking without introducing herself and she asked me to stay away from Jason. I wanted to ask her why she is directly asking me to stay away from him. Because today was the first time I met him. And here I also started to get the warning from the unknown girl."

" And without saying anything else, The unknown girl who gave me the warning to stay away from Jason. Has left without turning back."

Let it be, I was not going to take it seriously."

" I Don't know why she has to be so blunt and rude with me, even though I hadn't done anything wrong to her.

' After talking with her, I got a call from my class teacher asking for my presence.'

So I went towards the faculty common room, where mam was seated and completing some of her work, So I asked her,

Mam May I Come In?

She said, " Yeah, Alexa Come on in, I have something important to discuss with you."

' Yes, Mam, '

" Alexa listen you were selected as the representative to present our school on behalf of the Annual Gathering of all the School, which will be, held in Country U this coming End of the Month, and you had to prepare this speech all by yourself, I would be there to guide you."

" But you had to present this speech to me before the end of this week, so if I had to make changes I would do it, and so you will have time to practice this speech."

" Yeah, Sure Mam, I would love to do it, and I will try my best to complete this before the end of this week."

' But on what basis, or criteria do I have to prepare this speech? '

" Yeah Well the speech would be about what you study in school, what are you exactly learning, and What are Extra - Curriculum Activities are there, which you guys do in School. And also how this knowledge of books was helpful in your life, and how do you connect your Bookish Knowledge in this real world. "

" Well by tomorrow itself, I would provide you with the head points of the speech, so will have a rough idea about what you exactly have to prepare."

' Okay, Mam, I would be looking forward to working on this speech.'

" And Thank you so much, mam, for selecting me to represent the school, on this big platform."

' Well, you don't need to thank Me, because you deserve this. So there is nothing.'

" Okay, Bye Mam have a good day."

' Same to you too dear.'

" After getting to know that, I was the one who was selected to present for the speech, I was more than happy."

" I thought it was some prank or something, so I hadn't taken it seriously about the warning from this random girl. I forgot about it, because of this Good news of the speech.

" And I left the school after talking with my mam about the speech, and had to reach home on time, Or my mom will again start asking some random questions.

which doesn't even make sense to me."

' Like were you busy with your friends?

or ' were you roaming with your friends?

' Enjoying your time in school with friends '?

always asking me this type of question happily. Even though I don't get what makes her happy in asking me such a question.

" My mom is so friendly with me, and she is always there for me whenever I need her. She is really like a best friend to me."

" But sometimes she can be too cheesy also. Specifically for Gossiping."

Alexa ( POV )

" So just I was thinking about my mom, and here comes her call to ask me, about my whereabouts."

I told her " Mumma I am on my way home "

I will reach you within 20 Minutes So don't worry I am Fine.

" By taking a cab, I started heading towards my home. when I was waiting near the signal on my cab. The small girl knock-on my window, " I pull down the window and saw her selling Flowers, she asked me, Do you want to buy flowers.

" I started feeling sad by seeing such a small girl selling flowers to help her parent for the lively hood."

' So without a second thought, I buy Lily flowers from her. As it is my mom's favorite flower: I thought of giving it to her, once I reach home.'

' I pay her 10 Dollars for the flowers, and by seeing the beautiful smile on her face. I felt so happy.'

' And she went on the other side of the road to sell her flowers. At the same time, the Signal turned Green and my cab started towards my home.'

" By seeing this child my heart feels sad because at such a young age they have to support their families."

' Even I don't know if they can go to school or not. Because poor families usually force their children to work. Even I don't think they were sending them to the school.'

" So I thought when I will become someone important personality in my life, I will try my best to help these children. And try to achieve my dreams by doing hard work."

' When I reach the front gate of the building, I paid the cab fare. And went towards my building lobby. Bypassing from the Securities Guard of the building. I said to them ' Hello Uncle ' Have you done with the luncheon? '

Guard uncle smiled at me and said, " Yes dear we had our lunch, smiling back at the uncle, I left towards the lift."

" Once the lift comes, I enter the lift and click my floor no and within minutes I reach my home. I rang the bell ring of my home and after some time my maid aunty Rosie open the door for me."

' I enter the home, Greeting Good Afternoon to Aunty Rosie, directly goes towards my bedroom to get fresh and change into my comfortable clothes.'

" My home is not so big, but it's a very soothing place after returning from school. It has 1 big spacious living room, one kitchen three bedrooms, and three bathrooms. The decoration is simple of this house because we don't like to have so many things, It's well furnished and Coloring is in Purple and Gunmetal Grey of my mom's liking as she has personally decorated this home."

" Aunt Rosie is in her early thirties, a sweet very humble person, she takes care of me like her own daughter."

" After changing into comfortable clothes, I entered the kitchen, to see what's there for today's lunch, It's a Ham sandwich with banana smoothie my favorite."

Aunt serves me my lunch at the dining table and goes towards her room to take a rest.

" After completing my lunch, I wash my plate and put it in the cabinets, and goes towards the bedroom; and started completing my notes and studying the important chapter."

' Without break completely studying for two hours, I change into my yoga clothes and go into the living room to do some workouts and yoga.'

" Yoga is very much I like to do because this is taught to me by my grandfather since I am a small kid. So I prefer to do it in my free time, Specially the Aerial Yoga which gives me more confidence, and makes me more flexible."

' After practicing for some time, I go to take a bath after working out for hours, Get changed into fresh clothes, check my cell phone, for messages I got a lot of messages from my schoolmates, related to studying, and one message from my Mumma asking me if I had my lunch on time.'

So I just replied to my Mumma's message,

" Mumma I had my lunch on time ".

' I take my laptop and started playing games for spending my time, and after some time, I am waiting for the person my big brother, who always helps me to level up, who usually comes to play games at this time is offline, so I waited for him to come, but he didn't appear in the game, even for once, so I log out from the game.'

" Now I am hungry, so I go to the kitchen to have some evening snacks and open my laptop to do some learning on hacking, it's my hidden talent which I am learning without the knowledge of my parents. It's fascinating for me I love to learn and know more about this hacking world."

In this, my name is also a different name, to not to get known by other people. my identity is different here, I operate from the ID Ryan Miller, to protect my real identity here in the hacking world.

Once done with some learning, I went into the living room, because It Was 9 in the evening, so my mom will reach home by this time.

I am waiting for her to come, by watching some modeling shows or movies too past my time, but it's 10:15 in the night, even then she hasn't come yet. she is never this much late to come home.

I tried calling her, but she isn't picking up my calls. she has never done this, she always picks up my call on the second ring, but today she isn't picking it up. which is strange from my side.

So I tried Calling my elder brother, he pick up my calls after some time, I told him that Mumma hasn't come till now.

he said that ' mom will come don't worry about her '. I will try to contact her now if she isn't picking up my calls, then I will go to visit her Office.

" you don't worry at all ", I will bring the mom home safe and sound. So have your dinner and take care of yourself.

" Aunt Rosie has also left for her home, so I am left alone in the home."

Alexa ( POV )

" So being left alone in the home and don't know what to do ? Is the worst thing I am feeling now ".

" I am thinking about how can I help my Mumma if she is in any trouble ".

" Because my everything is my mom and brother only, And I can't see my mom is any trouble. She is such a good soul, who never hurt anyone, so exactly what's happening, Even I don't have any idea."

" At that time I got an idea 💡, I ran into to bedroom and brought my laptop with me to the living room ".

" I open my laptop and started writing some codes, and trying to hack the Mumma company's Camera to get some information from there ".

" After rigorous hardwood, I reach till the last level of the security system of the camera, after breaking the last wall of security, I entered the system ".

" I went through all the tapes recorded in the camera till the mom entered the company,

and when she left the company. In fast forward mode ".

" But going thoroughly through all the records of the camera recording. I noticed that Mumma's mood is a bit off though her facial expressions when observing her ".

" No one can see through her expression if not observed clearly, Because she is very good at hiding her emotions and feelings ".

" I know her from starting, she never approaches anyone even she is in big problem, she will always try to solve it by herself only ".

" But being her daughter I can see it in her face that, she is a bit worried after getting the call in the afternoon ".

" One more important thing I noticed is that she never left the office, It means only one thing that she is in the office only ".

" Without thinking anything else, I called my elder brother Andrew Scott ".

He picked up my call on the second ring, I asked him where are you?

He said I am outside mom's office. why did you call, Is there any problem at home? he asked me back.

" I said, No I just wanted to inform you that, check mom's office, I think she is in her cabin if you don't find her there then just go and check the terrace ".

" I think you can find her there. He hasn't asked me anything else, That's a relief."

' He said " I will go in her cabin and check, if I cannot find her there then, I will also check the Terrace.'

" So I said okay, I am hanging up now and be safe, find Mumma as soon as possible."

" After hanging up, I again tried to call Mumma, but she isn't picking up the calls."

" So I closed my laptop, and lay down on the couch to relax because continuing working on the laptop to go through all the recording is not an easy task for me."

Andrew Scott ( Brother of Alexa POV )

" I entered the mom's office building directly and went towards the lift to go toward her cabin."

" Once the lift comes on the Ground floor I entered the lift, and click the 29th floor, and within minutes, I am on the 29th floor."

" The corridors are empty because at this time the office is off. So know one left here, just. the guards in the front gates.

" I directly go in the direction of mom's office, because I have visited her a very long time ago when I was just 18 years old." so I don't need to search for the cabin.

" After reaching the cabin, I knock on the door But haven't got an answer from inside."

" I tried to open the door, luckily it got open I enter the cabin and I am shocked is an understatement, I am beyond shock to see the mess created in the cabin of my mom."

" She is a clean freak, her things are always neat and clean."

" She never likes messy table or her cabin, even the single things here and there from its place, and here the whole cabin is upside down."

So I closed the door, directly ran towards the lift, and went towards the Terrace to check, if mom is there or not?

" By entering the lift I click the top button towards the Terrace which is above the 40th floor. "

" Once I reached the terrace, I am trying to find my mom, I went through all the sides of the Terrace but I don't even get the hint of any person is present here or not."

' But again I tried to find her in the corners of the terrace to just check out if she is here or not.'

" After going through all the corners, I went to the left corner of the Terrace where is the small space, and find my mom curl up in the small ball, crying silently."

" I placed my hand on her shoulders, she shivers but I reassure her mom it's me, Andrew. Your Andrew is here, I am here for you."

" My mom looked up at me, her face is a mess, her eyes are red due to crying continuously, she tried to straighten up and stand up on her feet. "

I asked her, Mom what's wrong with you, why are you crying?

" She doesn't answer me and said let's go, it's late, Alexa will worry about us."

" I again try to talk to her, but she again tries to convert the topic in another direction."

" So I stop asking her because she will tell us when the time comes."

" Because she will never tell us if she doesn't want to share." she is stubborn, so without nagging her. " we left for home, by taking my mom's purse and other things from her cabin."

" We left the office building and take my bike from the parking area and left for home."

" Mom's sitting silently in the backseat of my bike, and we are on the way towards our home in Greenville."

" Once we reach in front of our building, watchman's uncle opens the gate for us to enter."

" I parked my bike in the parking area and went towards the lift."

' Once the lift came down, we went in the lift and reach up in no time.'

" I rang the bell of the home, No one answered the door at first, so again I try to ring the bell, and this time my sister open the door for us."

" From her face, I guess she wanted to ask a lot of questions to mom, but I signal her with my eyes not to ask her anything, and she got my point in no time." And kept her mouth shut. pretending nothing is happening."
