"Why are you wearing a hat?... are you cold?... would you like to close the window?... Ethan asked Estelle"

"No it's fine...It's just a little chilly in here... she said it as an excuse"

"Anyways Estelle when are you coming to school? our classmates misses you... they said they will come visit you this afternoon"

" Really? Ahh... hehe...Yeah, I missed them too... she said it with a sad expression thinking about her illness and her old days where she spend most of the time at school with Ethan and her other friends as she just follows them while fooling around and if will she be able to do it again even if it's really troubling"

*Ethan noticed her expression dropped out so he asked Estelle if there is something she wanted, to cheer her up*

"hmm? I'm bored... Estelle said"

"Ethan can we go out tomorrow?... she said it with an expecting face"

" Sure? jeez, but only for tomorrow... he said it to Estelle."

"Yehey you're the best Ethan...she said it with a really bright smile"

"Yeah.. yeah... but before that we should let your father know, only if he agrees that we will go out tomorrow... he said it thinking finally she smiled again"

"what? that's unfair... I'm sure dad will agree so get ready Ethan we will go out tomorrow... she said it as she pout"

"Yeah hehe I will be your escort for tomorrow...he said it with a bright smile in his face"

*hmm... Estelle smiled says that she is satisfied with the look on his face, while thinking that she will tell Ethan her illness tomorrow as they go out "

"Get ready pumpkin head, our classmates will be here soon... he said it as he cares at her head"

"Yeah... she said it with a bright smile"

"Ummm... she said it when Ahira suddenly stoped her work and says"

"It's hard right?... she said it while looking at Estelle"

"M-me? she unconsciously said it back to Ahira"

"hmmm... anyway what's you're I'llness?... she asked her out of curiosity"

"Y-yes?... she said it as her heart beats faster coz she didn't expect Ahira to ask that quest to her"

"My illness?... Estelle asked Ahira again expecting that she heard it wrong because she don't know how to say it"

"yes what's your illness?... Ahira asked again"

"A-ah? my illness?.... umm C-cancer, my illness is cancer.... Estelle said it as she looked down at the ground"
