Old classmate

 " You really mean it !" Andrew exclaimed when he heard what Cyrus said. He could sell the golden toad at the herbal street in the county. After Cyrus got back and treat Andrew lung disease, he told him about the golden toad. Andrew was so excited that he could not bring himself together for a while." Cyrus you have really grown up, dad is so proud of you" Andrew said as he patted Cyrus shoulder. The embarrassed Cyrus scratch his head and said" dad I'm just lucky" "who said that you are lucky, even if you are then you are my lucky charm" Andrew said again. Cyrus could only smile back.

 The next morning, after breakfast Cyrus prepare to go to the county to sell his treasure. " Hey little witch, go buy me some vegetables in the market, oh and some meat too" Maria said as he saw Cyrus going out. Cyrus stared at her for a moment and then ignore her. " Sorry I'm going to the county, and I'm not sure if I will not be back for a long time" Cyrus said as he was wearing his Snickers. " I don't care, I want vegetables now" Maria said as she threw the money on the floor close to Cyrus. Cyrus ignore it and seem to be moving away. " Hey little brat, can't you see Mom is talking, you don't respect mom anymore" silver block Cyrus from leaving the house. " Did the city made you arrogant so soon that you can't respect your elders again" Edward said at the side. Bruno, the first son, although not saying anything, his face was showing disdain towards Cyrus. " Move aside" Cyrus said coldly to silver who was blocking his path. At first silver was scared by the cold atmosphere, but then he explodes. " You little brat, how dare you....." " Enough!" silver was interrupted by Andrew. The three brothers stop and stared at the stern Andrew coming their way. "Maria, didn't Cyrus gave you a reason why he can't buy you groceries". " Are you also standing for him" Maria retorted. Andrew didn't say anything but the atmosphere became colder. " Don't you have sons or aren't their little cousins not around to be sent on errands. Cyrus is grown up and if he doesn't want to go, he won't go. Understood!"

 "But...."

 " have I made myself clear, wife" Andrew said again. " Hmph" Maria could only keep quiet. " When he is free, you can send him, he is a junior, that's true" Andrew said again. Cyrus left home peacefully after everything was settled.

 After taking the bus, he successfully came to the county. He went directly to the popular herbal street. Soon he reached the herbal street where the atmosphere was calm and full of herbal smell. He went into the most magnificent and imposing purchasing shop.

 " Hello, I'm here to contribute herbs". Cyrus said as he got to a front desk. " Of course we accept contributions. Sir may I ask what you want to contribute...." the lady's words trail off as she saw the familiar face. " Cy.... Cyrus... what are you doing here" lady stammered as she looks at him clearly again. " Umm.... you know me" Cyrus asked curious of the lady at his front. " Hmph... You seem to forget people easily"" I'm Belle. We used to be classmates in bright academy". Belle sneer and said. " I used to think you will be a genius, but it seems you are back to the village again, hmph" Belle said again.

  Cyrus suddenly remembered, Belle was known as one of the school belles, although not the first, she was still a beauty. Cyrus by then was known as the heartthrob to the school girls wanted to be his girlfriend but decline them all.
