READY

With a blackout towards a journey of retrospection, the images of joyful times still flaoted after being washed away by the wave.

The past won't stop mingling in minds everyday; that same past of discovery, curiosity, envy and emotions.

That same time when Claudia was still about to open a new book of her emotional life and start writting the pages of destiny.

"OK, that was the last math problem to be solved"

Claudia said, dropping down her pen and stretching her body.She was dressed in a school uno

uniform; Black skirt above her kneel with a shirt and black shoes accompanied by imaculate white socks underneadth.

She looked quite like a perfect high school girl, still ignorant about the outside world and its inconveniency.

She sat beside Lewis who was one of her best friends. Lewis paid more attention to Claudia's notebook while she just stretched herself.

"Quite an achievement, Claudia."

Lewis said

Yeah, I really worked hard on these equations, but it was also thanks to you.Though , I still have these other exercises, which isn't a duck soup ."

"I would gladly help you, but I'm afraid time is no longer on our side"

Yeah, that's true, I didn't realise how time actually flies.

"So how about coming to school tomorrow and helping me out." Claudia said, paying great attention to her wrist watch.

"But Claudia, tomorrow is Sunday and we aren't permitted to come to school on Sundays."

Claudia was dissappointed about the current situation which left her in no advantage, because both the school and her home were unavailable for her to get help from Lewis.

Her assignment needed to be done and submitted by early rising's monday.

"How about coming over to my home and we'll work on your assignments?"

Lewis said

"Yeah, but I don't wish to bother your parents with my presence. What if they have negative thoughts about me and more if they don't like me?"

"Silly girl, why do have to think so much?"

Lewis flicked her Claudia's forehead and gave her a warm smile.

"You don't need to bother yourself about that. My parents would probably had loved you if they met you ?"

"What do you mean by would have?"

"Because I don't actually live with my parents."

"Then I presume you live with your uncle or aunty."

"None of the above."

"Then with your grand parents."

"I only lodge with my elder brother in his apartment. But he might not be at home the whole of tomorrow."

"So that means we shall be left alone."

"Yeah, are you scared?"

"Ridiculous, why would I be scared? You're maybe a boy, yet not any type of random rascal. You're my best friend and like a brother to me. So how can I be scared of you?"

Lewis gave her a warm smile at her words, yet a deep feeling filled his heart when Claudia walked away after cuddling his head.

After being seperated in elementary school, with no friendly relationship, Lewis met his class mate in high school

Both strangers became good friends later. What more they became best friends in a short while after their first meeting in high school as batchmate from thesame elementary school.

Always ready to help each other as long as it was in their power.Their friendship could be determined almost perfect, because perfection could be too exagerated in terms...

The next day of the planned visit, Claudia found her way to Lewis' home with the help of Lewis' guide.

"You're welcome to my home, please come in Claudia." Lewis said , shifting towards the other side for her to make her way in his house.

"Thanks, your home is quite welcoming. The furnitures and decorations are so beautiful. For a boy's place, I have to admit I'm quite impressed.Your mother is really good at decorating a home, it's so amazing."

"Actually, everything here is done by Devison"

Claudia was quite puzzled when she heard about Devison, but it didn't take her long to understand Devison was actually Lewis' elder brother that he had been talking about in school.

"Devison is an architect,so he also works on designing homes. He worked hard to get this apartment, while I'm just lodging here to be close enough to school."

"That sounds rational."

"Just sit here, I'll go get something for you."

"Do you need help?"

"No, you're my guest, so please make yourself comfortable, I'll be right back."

Claudia nodded and watched Lewis disssappear in the kitchen. Claudia suit herself by taking a comfortable sit on the sofa.

Abruptly an idea came to her mind. She made up her mind to explore the house directly to Lewis' room.

Claudia had no bad intention,she only wished to determine the state in which Lewis' room was found.

Last time he visited her home, he mocked at her messy room, so she took few steps up stairs to determine if his was better than hers.

After making up her mind , she diected her steps towards the first room that she saw.

She knew it wasn't good to intrude, yet she had already gone that far and didn't want to give up so easily.

Claudia gave up on her hesitation and pushed the door...
