4 O'CLOCK

Reaching the place, Edmond pulled out his phone. Amy slumped at ground and kept quiet the entire time. A lot of things are rushing through her mind but she never said a word. Edmond sensing her emotion sat beside her and started to say:

"There are "why's" in this world that does not always need reasons."

"It is justified with the "just because"."

Amy looked at him, confused on what he just said. Edmond further explained:

"Just because you're fun to be with!"

"Now no more "why's and let's just enjoy the view, ok!"

Amy cannot believe these words came from him. Initially, she judged him as a shallow person but after hearing these words, she found him profound. What's more, he finds her fun to be with even if she's not much of a talker and having a different world unlike the others.

They started to take photos capturing the different formation of the clouds and the fruits that had been hanging in the trees. In between shots, they compared the outcome.

Sitting at the ground to rest, Amy asked him a question out of the blue: "What is your favorite time of the day?"

Edmond paused for a while to digest her question. He never really paid much attention to time let alone select a favorite. He answered:

"Hmmm.... Maybe, sunset, around 5:30pm"

Amy replied: "a most common answer."

Edmond: "Do you ask this question to everyone?"

Amy: "Yes, I do."

"And most of them answered the same."

Edmond asked her in turn: "What is your favorite time of the day?"

Amy answered: "4 o'clock."

Edmond was taken away by her reply. Normally, people will answer dawn or sunset but she was specific with 4 o'clock that makes him wonder why.

Edmond asked: "What's so special about 4 o'clock?"

Amy sighed and answered: "The sky is at its best at 4 o'clock, don't you know that?"

She continued: "This is the perfect time to view it. The sun is not too bright to obscure your vision. The ray is as perfect as it passes to the trees and the clouds are at its right formation at this time."

"The sky is just picture perfect at 4 o'clock."

Edmond smiled back at her answer. Most teenagers their age will pay attention to the opposite sex or their popularity or their looks. No one will really pay much attention to their surroundings much more the sky but Amy is different. She may be an introvert person but she is never shallow and that makes her an extra ordinary girl.
