school

I got so annoyed so, I walked out. I don't think I can dig something in him anyway.

He's nothing but an annoying mischievous brat that somehow looked like he knows something about me and the time traveling thing.

I got back where Jasmine and William are. They're playing.

"Shit!" I said it out of frustration. Thinking about how my life is so confusing.

I just couldn't process everything properly. Like, how is it possible to travel back time? How is it possible of having this kind of family? Is this a miracle? Maybe, I was just lucid dreaming?

My thoughts got halted because of someone's voice.

"You said, what!?" Jasmine asked, and she look utterly surprised.

"What?"

"Windy, did you just curse?" This time it was William who asked.

They heard me curse?

I shook my head to deny it.

Kids.

Kids.

Kids.

I am with kids. I should learn to filter my words! Damn!

"I said, 'chit'. Aren't we playing customer, waiter, and chef here? So, basically, I was asking for a chit." I said making an explicit explanation to save my foul mouth.

I sighed a relief when they nodded and buy it. They gave me a chit, haha.

That two day vacation was long. I had fun, though. Because of the overload cuteness of both William and Jasmine, perhaps.

Two days had passed, and I'm still stuck in this time travel fiction! I asked William about it but he just told me how he saw a movies about time traveling and how cool it was. I'm trying to give him a hint that I was asking but based on his expressions... He's not with me. He wasn't time traveling like I do. I even asked Lidia about it, thinking that she know something since I don't know her, and I don't have any memory about her... Maybe... Just maybe, she's the god-send pal. But based on how she reacted upon my questions... I was wrong again.

I guess I have to accept it now. I have to live in this moment and wait for things to get worst when time passes.

I need to live as a six year old with no memory of having a happy family, until being the nineteen years old that had the worst family.

Life is a long  process... yes, but damn! Do I really need to feel the worst in life twice?

I'm already decided to leave all the chaos my family had! Why do I have to see the perfect family one? To make me feel that leaving wasn't a nice choice? If it is, then, might as well tell me how to handle this thing. Confusion is literally killing me!

"Windy, behave at school, alright? Your father and I will fetch you when your class end. Wait for us, will you?" My mom said while gently caressing my hair.

Today is Monday. I have to go back to school, they said. I need to. I've took so many absences because I got sick, I guess.

"Why can't the driver fetch me instead?"

I saw a little surprise expression in my mom's face. Oppsss?

She smiled a bit. "Don't you want your mom and dad fetch you after school?" She responded with a question.

I shook my head.

I just hope this woman in front of me knows how much I crave for her love and care. I just hope she saw how I did everything in order to get their attention. I just hope they or they'll saw how I badly want them to cheer me up during my struggles. I just hope that this woman in front me really tried to fetch me at school. The older version of me also deserves your sweet and caring version, mom!

Now, I pity my future. What will happen? What thing will make this woman change?

I sighed. I still got no answers.

"Mom, why not homeschool me instead?" I asked. I don't think going to school was a nice idea.

A confused expression is once again visible in her face.

"Won't you miss your friends?" She responded with a question again.

One of the reasons why I have no where to go after making a decision to leave our house is because I DON'T HAVE A FRIEND. And now I have friend? Maybe because I'm just a kid this time. And they'll eventually leave, like everything does?

And now I have another problem— I know no one in my class!

As much as I wanted to stay at home and skip the class, a part of me is willing to get along with more kids. Besides, if I will just stay in the house, I will get nothing. There will be no improvement. And If I go to school, I'll eventually get use to this routine.

The school is full of kids. Full of strangers. There were teachers, and other student smiled at me, and I just smiled back.

We were nearing in my classroom when suddenly, a guy who come running to me and hugged me. I was shocked and I'm freaking out! Who's this guy?!

I didn't move while he's hugging me tightly. I saw a woman behind him, she's smiling. I also heard my parents laugh a bit.

"Hi, Windy. Miss me?" He said smiling after freeing me.

I wince at his question. I looked at my parents who seems adored by the kid's question. They looked happy seeing us together.

Why?when?where?what?how?

I don't know what to say and do!!!

I forced a smile and open my mouth, "Hello..." That sounds like a question, though.

His cute smile appear in his cute lips again.

He grab my hand and pull me inside our classroom. I heard my parents saying goodbye and good luck.

So we're classmates?

The time answered that question— We're seatmates.

I didn't bother asking his name, but he's name is Timothy, he's so talkative to the point that he's name is the most used name in the classroom. He never runs out of topic.

We're in the middle of giving colors to our coloring book when the teacher announced that there's a transferee.

I didn't bother looking at them because I got busy of what I am doing.

"...My name is Javed..." That made me stopped what I'm doing.

I turn to look who. Then, I saw him— the mischievous kid.
