You're so clumsy

I was sitting on a chair in Alfie grandma's house, watching a human boy eat as he put what humans called food in his mouth,chew and then swallow. "Yes! I got it now.

I picked a fork as I dip it into that humans' plate, picked the food to my mouth, I chewed and swallow. "What's with this? trying to vomit the food out, "Do you love being in the spotlight? you can't even eat spicy food, Spicy rice cakes are supposed to be spicy" the human boy said as he continued eating. "Spicy? I said in my mind.

The old human came and gave me a purple liquid in a glass cup, tasting it "This taste better than that cake rice spicy, whatever!. How old are you? she asked, "I don't count my age" I said as everyone of them turned to look at me with surprise. Yes angels don't count their age so how does she expect me to know my age, "I am same as him" turned to Alfie who was sitting next to me.

"You are 18" said the old human, "yes I'm 18" I said as they kept on staring at me. "You must be lying you look younger than me" Alfie said. I turned looking at the wall as I saw "Looking for part timers", "I want to do that" pointing at the the notice on the wall. "Have you worked before? Don't even think about staying here for good, it's just for today" Alfie interrupted the old human causing me to frown.

"Do you have parents? asked the old human, "You don't remember? Alfie asked and I nod my head answering him. "If you eat well and rest, I'm sure you'll remember. Since you saved Alfie, you can stay here as long as you want", "Grandma! Shouted Alfie. "Common! she saved your life, go get changed and come back down" she said. She is such a nice old human.

I was in a room with the old human after putting on the clothes she gave me. I went around looking at all the objects, flowers, images in the room. The old human was busy counting the sales for today as Alfie came in, "Miss Susan! you earned a lot today" he sat next to her.

"Do you have something to say? she asked, her eyes focused on the money. "Miss Susan.... he smiled taking the money that was in front of the old human. "You've washed up, why touch dirty money? "You say it's dirty but you love it" he replied her.

"Money gives you strength when you get old, ohh! she turned to take a box at her back. "This is for your birthday", Is it from dad? he asked, "Your dad is a fool, why does he always send the same size? she asked. He opened the box and saw two foot wear, "Just ask him to give money like mom does.

"You can have it" he threw the box at me, "Really? thanks. I picked it up and brought out the foot wear, "Did your dad send it from the U.S? Where is your mom then? they were both shocked at my question. "She doesn't lived here? I asked because I was confused at their silence.

"You must be tired so you better get to bed" the old human said to Alfie. "I am not transferring, Never! he said as he stood up and was about going, I took the pillow, following him. "What? you want to sleep with me? "Why not? we can't sleep together? They all sleep together in dramas".

"Do you even know what you are saying? Did you see the next scene? he asked. "It was dark", "I guess you really did see it, Good night grandma" then he went out. Why can't we sleep together? Is he scared of me? I was thinking in my mind. "Don't talk about his mom in front of him again, if you do you can't stay here, get that? said the old human.

"Why not? I won't" I replied her. An hour later when the old human was asleep, I sneaked out of the room to the kitchen and I opened the refrigerator looking for the canned drink I drank this morning. I took one canned drink, open and tasted it "Hmm! this is not it, I dropped it as I continue tasting them until I got to the last one. "Yes! this is it.

After I finish drinking it, I walked out of the kitchen, "Geez! you scared me" Alfie said, I smiled and he went out of the house. I followed him, hiding from one place to another so that he won't see me. I hide at the back of a tree when he stopped in front of a human girl that was sitting on a bench, "I know her, yes! she was the girl Alfie saved from falling.

I continue eavesdropping on their conversation.

Alfie

I was laying on my bed when my phone ranged, I stood up to check the caller "Carly! what does she want again. "Hello! what do you want", "Please can you come over to where we do meet? she asked. "Ok! but just this last time, "Yes! please just come. I hanged up, put on my cardigan and walked out of my room.

"Geez! you scared me" I said as I saw Dina coming out of the kitchen, she just smiled. I ignored her and I went out of the house to meet Carly. I met her there already sitting on a bench, I sat down too but not close to her. "Sorry! she said, "Let's not see each other again, I don't want to get expelled, no matter how hard it's don't kill yourself" I stood walking away.

She came, held my hand stopping me from moving "You were just trying to save me, just talk to my mom and plead with her". "Plead with her? I said, fling her hand away and I caught sight of Dina. Did she followed me out of the house or she just pass by? I was thinking before Carly hugged me from the back.

"I won't let you transfer, I am going to stop it no matter what, I will stop it" she said. I was just staring at Dina, "So my transfer depends on you and your mom? I asked her. "If you go out with me, I'll make sure it doesn't happen, trust me". I stretch my hand out to Dina, indicating that she should come.

"I am sorry but you can leave my girlfriend is here" I said remove her hands from my waist as Dina came forward. "Why did you come at this hour" I remove my cardigan and put it on her, What? Dina was shocked at my behavior. "Well let's go it's late" I smiled walking away from Carly.

I heard Carly shouting "Don't look back just keep walking". We got to a bridge, I collected my cardigan back as we continue walking. "You are so clumsy! I said bending down to tye her loosed shoe lace. "Wow, you are really good! I can't even do it" she was smiling. "I told her that you are my girlfriend.... "It's okay, I've seen something like this alot in dramas, it's kind of fun, I'm the girl in the end, so it's not wrong to say that".

"I wish you were a boy" I stood up and started walking away. This Dina is just funny, "Are you really not going to transfer? Is that a bad thing? she asked causing me to stop. "It's not, it's just getting your memory stolen", "Getting your memory stolen? that a bad thing then".

"There are some memories I want to forget... "Getting stolen, forget, that's so complicated", I knew she was confused. "Humans are too complex! what does she mean by that? "You talk like you're not a human" I said to her looking up to the sky. "When will I go back? Can I go back?

"Hey! am right here" she said waving to the sky", "Who are you talking to? You're really crazy" I said and we both walk back home.
