" Ughhhhhhh mom your going on a business trip gain?!!!!!!" I looked at mom angry

" Dear this is important and -"

" then we're not important? The business trip is more important you mean???!!!!" I cut mom and speak out my anger

" Of course you and your sister are more important than this "

"Then don't go" I looked at mom, but she just gives a sad look

I know you can't " just leave" and I hope you won't ever cameback, I'm so angry

I run upstairs and look my self in my room ad cry, why can't mom and dad stay with us even a little time, they are always busy as ever

**********

After 1 day a police call us and informed us that mom and dad lost in the Amazon forest, and they couldn't find any trace or signals that came from the helicopter they are in

I looked at lyn and we both cry

***********

I sat in our empty mansion, staring blankly at the wall as I talked to my aunt, Tita Maria.

"Tita, what's going on? Where are Mom and Dad?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

Tita Maria sighed, her eyes filled with sadness. "Lina, we don't know. They were supposed to be back weeks ago, but...nothing."

Just then, the doorbell rang. Tita Maria got up to answer it.

"Who could that be?" Lyn asked, looking worried.

I shrugged. "I don't know."

Tita Maria came back with a tall, thin man in a suit.

"Lina, this is Mr. Johnson, a lawyer. He says he needs to talk to you about your parents' estate."

I felt a surge of hope. Maybe this lawyer knew something about our parents' disappearance?

Mr. Johnson smiled, his eyes gleaming with a calculating intensity. "Ah, Lina. Nice to meet you. I'm afraid I have some bad news. Your parents' estate is in a bit of a mess."

I frowned, unsure what he meant.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Mr. Johnson hesitated before answering. "Well, it seems that your parents owed a lot of money to some...unsavory characters. And now that they're...gone, the debt falls to you."

I felt a chill run down my spine. What was he talking about?

"But what about our mansion? And our bank accounts?" I asked.

Mr. Johnson smiled again, his eyes glinting with triumph. "Ah, I'm afraid those are all part of the estate. And according to the papers your parents signed...you're not entitled to any of it."

I felt like I'd been punched in the gut.

"What papers?" I demanded.

Mr. Johnson pulled out a sheaf of documents. "These papers. Your parents signed them before they...left. And now, I'm afraid you have to sign them too."

I hesitated, unsure what to do.

But Mr. Johnson just smiled and handed me a pen.

"Sign here, Lina. It's all just a formality."

I signed the papers, feeling a sense of trepidation.

As soon as I did, Mr. Johnson's smile grew even wider.

"Excellent," he said, pocketing the papers. "Now, I'm afraid you and your sister have to leave. This mansion is no longer yours."

I felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach.

"What? Where are we supposed to go?" I demanded.

Mr. Johnson shrugged. "That's not my problem. You're not my concern anymore."

And with that, he turned and walked out the door, leaving us alone and adrift in the vast, empty mansion that was once our home.

 Because of what happened I tried to find a part-time job as many as I can and lucky I was accepted in a café, for now I rented an apartment for me and my sister to stay

I continue staying using my saved money on my birthday, because of that lawyer, that Dept thing? We're totally poor right now and struggling to live

" Lyn are you ready, let's go now , we're going to be late" i saId and look at Lyn fIxing her hair

"okay sis I'm ready" she looked at me smiling

Don't worry sis I'll take care of you

...****************...

I was sitting alone at lunch, trying to focus on my math homework, when a girl plopped down beside me.

"Hey, Lina! What's up?" a girl asked, her bright pink hair clips matching her infectious smile.

"Not much, J Just trying to get this math homework done," I replied, trying to hide my frustration.

" Oh it looks hard" I looked at her, and she looked at me smiling like joy from inside out

" I'm jean by the way, I'm your classmate well to properly Don know because I'm sitting at the back and your infant and that's hard for you because you can't see our classmates at the back like me"

She's so talkative, and her vibe it making me happy

Jean nodded sympathetically. "Math sucks, right? But I have a way more interesting problem. Want to hear about it?"

I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What's going on?"

Jean leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper. "I have a crush on this guy, Alex. He's on the chess team, and he's so smart and cute! But I don't know how to talk to him."

I couldn't help but giggle. "well I can see your always so confident, Jean. What's holding you back this time?"

Jean blushed. "I don't know...I guess I just really like him, and I don't want to mess it up."

I nodded understandingly. "I get it. But maybe I can help you? We could come up with a plan to get your crush's attention."

Jean's face lit up. "Really? You'd do that for me?"

I smiled. "Of course, Jean. That's what friends are for."

We spent the rest of lunch brainstorming ideas, from baking him cookies to "accidentally" bumping into him in the hallway.

But then Jean had an even more elaborate idea...

"Lina, what if we dress up as chess pieces and surprise him after class? It'll be so romantic and memorable!"

I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "Jean, are you sure that's a good idea? What if he thinks it's weird?"

But Jean was undeterred. "Trust me, Lina. This will be epic."

I couldn't help but laugh at Jean's enthusiasm. "Okay, fine. Let's do it."

Little did I know, our little plan would end up causing more chaos than romance...

I couldn't believe Jean was actually going through with her crazy plan. We snuck into the chess club room, Jean dressed in a ridiculous chess piece costume.

"Jean, are you sure about this?" I whispered, trying to stifle a giggle.

Jean nodded, her eyes shining with determination. "Yes, Lina! This is going to be perfect!"

We burst into the room, and Alex's eyes widened in shock. "What the...?"

Jean struck a pose, her chess piece costume wobbling precariously. "Ta-da!"

Alex's face turned red with anger. "What is this, some kind of joke?"

Jean's face fell, but she tried to power through. "Uh, no...I just wanted to...um...show my appreciation for your chess skills?"

Jansen scoffed. "Appreciation? You call this appreciation? You're ruining my chess setup!"

Jean looked crestfallen, and I felt a pang of sympathy for her.

"I'm sorry, Jean," alex said curtly. "But I'm just not interested."

Jean's face crumpled, and she fled the room in tears. I followed her, trying to comfort her.

...****************...

After that disastrous encounter, I headed to work at the circus. As I was leaving, my coworker Dan offered to walk me home.

As we strolled through the quiet streets, Dan suddenly call me and walked with me wearing some kinda clown costume

I burst out laughing. "Dan, what is that?, are you going to wear the costume from the circus ?"

Dan lookss at me confused. "Huh? What are you talking about this my clothes"

Ohhhhhh, I zip my mouth shut the moment he said that ,yekyaksn

" Oh right why don't you came over in my house on Saturday it's my birthday so I'm kinda wanted to celebrate it"

" Sure, why not "i looked at hIm and smile

The way dan dress give me something Good to do

I had an epiphany. "Dan, I have an idea. My friend Jean is obsessed with colorful clothes, just like you. And I think she'd love to meet you."

Dan's eyes lit up. "Really? That sounds awesome!"

I pulled out my phone and dialed Jean's number. "Hey, Jean! I have someone I want you to meet."

Jean's voice was hesitant on the other end of the line. "Who is it?"

"His name is Dan, and he's into the same kind of colorful clothes as you," I explained.

Jean's voice perked up. "Really? "

I grinned, feeling happy that I could help my friend. "yeah , why bot meet us tomorrow , at the school?"

Jean squealed in excitement. "Yes, please! that would be awesome"

The next day, Dan and I headed to school. As we arrived, I introduced Dan to Jean, and they instantly hit it off.

...----------------...

Class is over, and we went t Dan's place for his birthday party, their i meet hIs sister Daisy who's obsessed with playing board games and bet everyone who plays with her

But then I had another idea. "Hey, Jean? Remember that guy Alex who's really good at chess?"

Jean's eyes lit up. "Oh, yeah! I was just thinking about him."

I grinned mischievously. "Well, I think I know someone who might be perfect for him."

Jean raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

I smiled. "Dan's sister, Daisy. She's obsessed with board games, and I think she'd love to meet Alex."

Jean's eyes sparkled with excitement. "That sounds perfect! Let's set it up!"

And with that I called Jansen and told him to came over, when he got there i introduced him to daisy, because of their same hobbies they instantly hit it of
