alica's Point of view

*time check 6:34 pm*

"are you sure you want to continue your studies there, there's so much more prestigious school here"-Alica's mom, Mrs. Mary

"Yup, I always wanted to study there even if it's not private and so on, besides I won't inherit our company, so I don't need to have a perfect paper and attend some prestigious school"-Alica

(and I've been waiting for this day, for me to go back to our hometown)

"'sigh', ok then as you wish my dearest daughter, but if something went wrong you have to contact me ASAP, are we clear"-Mrs. Mary

"Alright mom, now lemme pack my things, now"-Alica

"lemme help you, alright"-Mrs. Mary

"ok then"-Alica

**an hour later, time check 7:36 pm*

"I'm gonna miss you, dear"-Mrs. Mary

"Yeah we're gonna miss you sister"- Alica's two brothers, Alex and Alexis

(they are twin)

"stay safe, call us if you need something"-Alica's stepdad, Mr. Andrew

"ok, I'm gonna miss y'all too,"-Alica

"But sis can we at least take you to the airport,plsss"-Alexis

"it's alright I can handle it"-Alica

"ok..."-Alex

"now now, let's not be too sentimental, or your sister will miss her flight"-Mr. Andrew

"I agree, it's not like your sister won't come back"-Mrs. Mary

"hmmm.."-Alexis and Alex

"bye-bye sis/dear"-Them*

"hmm. bye 👋"-Alica

'And so Alica goes in the car that was waiting for her'

*30 minutes later, T.C, 8:03 pm*

"Hmm, did I arrive too early perhaps"-Alica

"it's just on time young miss"-Mr. Felix

(it's a guard that is assigned to guard her for the time being)

"that's good then"-Alica

"this way plss, Young miss"-Felix

"ok"-Alica

*fast forward to, when she arrives, T.C 5:53 am*

" your awake now, Young miss, it's time to get off, we've arrived"-Felix

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier*yawns* ok then, is the car ready?"-Alica

"I'm sorry young miss, it's because your sleeping so deeply that I can't get myself to wake you up,

and yes young miss, everything is already set, we're just waiting for you"-Felix

"hmm..thanks Felix, and just call me Alica"-Alica

"I'm afraid I can't address you informally, young miss,

and no need to say thanks, it's our duty to serve you,"-Felix

"hmmm..what a pity, ok then, shall we go now?"-Alica

"yes, of course, young miss"-Felix

"Hihi"-Alica

*on the way to their old house*

"Felix, can we stop at the restaurant over there? I'm hungry, and aren't y'all hungry too? you all should eat with me"-Alica

"of course we could, young miss, and as for me I'm not hungry yet, I don't know about the other."-Felix

"oh, but I'll be lonely if no one would eat with me don't you think so?"-Alica

"hmm, I'll tell them to eat with you, young miss"-Felix

"what about you?"-Felix

"hmm, I'll eat later, young miss.."-Felix

(acting cute won't work eh, aren't they hungry after working too much and waking up so early, they are much older than me, so do they can hold it in I suppose)-Alica

"ok then.."-Alica

*Fast forward to when they arrive at the old town on the way to their old house*

(the house is near the old town at the side of the mountain)

"young miss I'm afraid we have to walk from here"-Felix

"is that so? btw are you sure this is the right place?"-Alica

"yes, young miss, is there a problem perhaps?"-Felix

"no, there's no problem, it's just I didn't expect it to change this much, umm it's so not clean..?"-Alica

(hmm I didn't expect this, well things change over time but to think.., that a peaceful quiet and beautiful place that I know exist, became like an old town full of fallen leaves and fruits that is rotten!?

that's it I'mma hire someone to clean this place up, but is it alright to do that if it's not our place?)

"young miss..?"-Felix

"oh, sorry Felix I spaced out a bit there, shall we?"-Alica

"be careful, young miss you could trip"-Felix

"hmm.."-Alica

"Felix what do you think about this town?"-Alica

"hmm, a little cleaning, should do and it'll be better I guess.."-Felix

"hmm.. ahh btw I hardly see anyone, what time is it now?"-Alica

"it's almost 7:00 now, Young miss"-Felix

"is that so, weird how come there's no one here?"-Alica

"do you want me to send someone to check it out? Young miss?"-Felix

"no, there's no need, btw we are almost there, let's hurry up I'm tired.."-Alica

"yes Young miss"-Felix

'few minutes later'

"WoW, it feels like time stopped here!"-Alica

(i didn't change the slightest, i wonder if the garden too...)-Alica

"welcome back, Young miss"-someone

"uhhhh?"-Alica

"i am lily, young miss, and I'll be you're personal maid, from now on,"-Lily

"ummm, hi, i guess.., you look kinda familiar..?"-Alica

"thanks lily, you can just call me by my name, alica will do"-Alica
