“I’m sorry I’m late, I just had a little… Uhh, You know,, Issues?” Newton said as he removed his mask.
“Huh? Sure”Myles replied
“Here, The Sanitary Pads you asked for” Newton said as he stretched his hand with the stuff.
“What? You really bought it? Didn’t you feel embarrassed, You could have just…. Oh my, Seriously… Why do you keep doing everything I say, You could have just ignored me… It’s quite embarrassing for a celebrity to buy this, You know?”
“No, It’s okay… You know I can do anything for you” Newton smiled.
“What? Seriously? But Ermm… Actually, I wasn’t really on my period, I guess I made a mistake, I’m sorry” Myles said trying to leave.
“Huh? Uhhmm… It’s okay, I understand… Things like that can happen, We are humans and can’t avoid mistakes–Wait, Where are you going to?”
“Where else? Home… Of course”
“Home? Right now? Please, Don’t leave… Stay with me for a little while” Newton pleaded
“Sorry, Maybe another time, Keep the pad well… Who knows, It might come in handy next time, Goodbye” Myles smiled as she walked out of the door.
Newton looked on and inhaled sadly.

“Dad? Did you miss me?” Samantha asked as she happily ran towards her father.
Mr Brooklyn who was on the bed reading a newspaper dropped it immediately and opened his arms wide to hug his daughter. Samantha hugged him instantly and smiled.
“We all missed you dad” She said as she began disengaging from him.
Mr Brooklyn smiled. “I’ve missed you more Sam… How is family?”
“You know….Just waiting for you and still doing our normal activities, Dad… When will you be back, Carly is now getting annoying!”
“Did she ask questions about me? That girl… Oh my God! She’s really smart” Mr Brooklyn laughed
“She’s very annoying too, Dad… Here, I got some fruits for you, Watermelons are your favorite right?” Samantha asked with a smile on her face as she brought out a beautiful basket filled with fruits.
“Wow… Is this for me?” Mr Brooklyn asked stunned by what he was seeing. Samantha nodded and laughed.
“Dad…Have some” Samantha said as she brought some fruits out and gave it to him. Her father thanked her and began to eat them.
“Dad… I’ve gotten a job”
“Huh? Really? What’s that about?”
“Huh? Uhhmmmm… It’s just, Huh.. A normal kind of job with a good pay”
Mr Brooklyn nodded his head while he continued eating. “Won’t it distract you?” He finally asked without moving his eyes to Samantha who seemed to be looking at him.
“Huh?”
“I mean,, your studies… Won’t it distract you from your studies… You know you are about writing another entrance exam”
“Leave that to me dad, I just want to save enough money before I leave….You know I h@të lacking and besides, I don’t want to just rely on you… I promised you already right? I’m going to make you proud” Samantha replied as she kept on smiling. Her father finally looked at her and flashed a quick smile. He turned his gaze back to the fruits and said; “It’s okay to rely on me…. If you don’t, I might get worried”
Samantha felt touched by this and smiled heartily. She loved her father so much, She had to make him proud by all means!.

Elle and Lia were walking together to their various homes when they reached “Brooklyn’s Resturant”.
“Hey? Do you wanna check if she’s back?”Elle asked Malia who looked sleepy.
“Huh? Sure… But let’s be fast about it, It’s getting late you know and your parents might– Malia paused and sighed.
“Just complete it already, You don’t have to stop your statement because I’m your friend?”
“I don’t want your parents to hit you again and please, stay away from Agnes… I’m still doubting if she’s really your sister”
“I know right, Oh… There’s Josh and Carly , Let’s just ask them” Elle suggested as she walked away from the door they stood and tried to knock.
“Hey? Where are you guys coming from?” Elle asked
“Huh? Uhmm, From the Incinerator, We went to burn our wastes” Josh smiled
“Okay… So, Is Samantha back?” Elle asked again
“No Unnie, Not yet… I’m still waiting for her though, She needs to answer my questions” Carly replied
“Huh?… Anyways, Tell her we dropped by, Goodnight,, Let’s go, Malia” Elle said as she linked her arms with Malia.
“Alright then, Good night!” Malia said as they began to walk away.
“Huh? Noona… Wait” Josh called quickly and the Two girls stopped. Carly looked on trying to know what was going to happen.
“Me?” Malia asked pointing at her chest as she turned to Elle who wasn’t really interested.
“No, I’m talking to Giselle” He whispered. He looked somehow shy and refused to have an eye contact with her.
“Huh? Me? What’s that?” Elle suprisedly asked.
“Uhhm… No, Uhh, I just wanted to… Uhh… Noona,,….“Sleep tight,Sweet Dreams!”*” He finally voiced out after all the stuttering.
“Uh? Okay… You too, Sleep tight and Sweet Dre…. Uhh, Dreams– Elle paused and waved to him. Josh smiled and waved back.Minutes later, Elle looked at Malia
“Let’s go, Lia…It’s really getting late, I’m tired too”
Malia nodded as they both walked out of sight. Josh watched them leave and chuckled softly. As he tried to leave, His gaze shifted to Carly who kept glaring sharply at him.
“Hey? You scared me!! Goodness!, Why….Why are you staring at me that way? Huh?” Josh asked looking quite shocked
“You thought I wouldn’t know huh?” Carly asked laughing
“Huh? Know what? Why are you even laughing?” Josh asked back trying to leave.
“You like Noona right, I mean…..Giselle ?” Carly whispered to Josh hearing which halted him from moving any further.
