1 Chapter 1

The school bell rang and echoed throughout the classes in the hall indicates the first half of the typical school day has ended .

Sighs of relief, the grumble of stomaches can be heard coming from the tired students. They then rushed quickly out from their respective classes to heavenly side of the school, we all know very well where it is.

Except for a fellow student who doesn't really like to rush like the others because it's "unappropriate", followed by her two loyal bestfriends.

"Hdjskkwkws-" Jennifer groaned and stretched her arms in relief, trying to ease the aches she felt after copying whatever the teacher wrote infront of her non-stop until God has decided to spare her life by flicking whoever's head to ring the bell.

"Tired much?" one of her bestfriend turned her chair around after hearing her groan.

"And why aren't you, Isabella?" Jennifer threw her a question, more like a whining. It really confuses her sometimes, she has rarely seen her dearest friend with any fatigue in her,

always with this bright aura around her.

"She's not tired, She's just old." the other one grabbed a chair and sat next to Jennifer. Not before receiving a glare from the said old one.

"Shut up, mia." She huffed, rolling her eyes. isabella giggled at the sight of the two.

"Maybe you're right." she teased just to receive a glare from her.

"We're just kidding! Shall we go now? Someones gonna steal all of my precious chicken and it'll all be your fault!" mia dramatically points at Jennifer.

They then make their way to the cafeteria.

Jennifer furrowed her eyebrows, "That never happened." she mumbled.

"If you keep being like this, they'll also steal all the banana milk! Don't you feel sorry for yourself?" mia exaggerated out the last part.

Jennifer flinched at the thought of her favorite drink being taken away

But she stopped her step, earning isabella and mia's attention. "Wait, what do you mean by 'keep being like this'? keep being what?" mia grinned. "Being a granny."

And with that, their little chase begun and they reached the cafeteria a little earlier than they usually did.

Yes, that's Jennifer's daily life.

But she doesn't complain. She thinks it's pretty decent, a little boring but it's fine.The boring part is of course, none other than going to school, learning a little bit of this and a little bit of that in the morning till noon, fetching her younger sister, emma, from her school and went back home together. Do chores after that sometimes, like how a mother would do, doing laundry, cooking meals, helping emma with her homework, etc.

And the cycle went on.

jennifer live alone with her little sister. Their parents are in the US, leaving them both in london . It's not that they 'left' them out of nonsense purposes, It's just that they're working.

The brighter part of her life is Emma, and two of the idiots she sticks to, mia and isabella.

As it was mentioned before, Emma is not that typical kid who runs around and begs for stuff from her. emma is rather mature and very obedient for her age. She listens to her well and sometimes its the other way around

She loves Jennifer and Jennifer loves her.

jennifer couldn't ask for a better sister. mia and isabella are Jennifer's sidekicks. Friends are one of the reason why we attend school isn't? They are Jennifer's reason. Though they both might tease each other alot but she knew they are just merely teases and those teases reminded Jennifer why the trio are bestfriends. She laugh at the thought sometimes.

They're always there to lend a helping hand for her. Jennifer couldn't ask for better idiots.

Jennifer is on duty today alongside two other classmates to clean their class. mia and isabella volunteered to help since its the last day of school for the week but Jennifer politely declined, saying that she can do it herself. "Plus, I'm not alone. Sophia. and James. are on duty too." She let out a soft smile to her besties.

"sophia is okay, but james? You'll probably gonna break your spine doing his part where he'll just slack off." isabella joked a bit but deep inside, she's worried. "Can't we just atleast wait for you?" There goes the soft spot of mia.

"No." Jennifer chuckled. "Just go home, meet you guys tomorrow!" She quickly hug them both, dashing out of the scene to their class before the duo could even say anything

isabella was right about james. Jennifer reached their class only to be greeted by james who's now doing a fail twirl with the broomstick to impress Sophia who's just staring blankly at him.

"Am I not impressive?" james still doing his fail twirl. "My twirling skill is too amusing that you're out of word, am I right?" gibberish this time.

Sophia blinked. "Oh you were twirling? I thought you were trying to get of flies. I was confused because I didn't saw any." she stated flatly but she really meant what she said.

With that, james dropped the broom with his jaw hanging low. Jennifer chuckled at the scene and it was noticed by Sophia who's expressionless face turns into a grin. "Oh Jennifer!"

"Hi." She smiled. "Sorry to kept you guys waiting. I had to inform my friends and text my little sister to get back home without me." Since she'll be home a little late.

Emma was okay with it.

"It's fine! Let's start, shall we?" Sophia handed a broom to her and she nodded. "james?" Jennifer called, james who's head was hang low looked up with a frown. Hoping that it'll make Jennifer say something to brighten him up. "Can you stop hitting those nonexisting flies and let's just finish our work?" She held back her laughter when james whined but ended up grabbing the broom he dropped and started sweeping. Lifelessly.

The two girls chuckled at the scene and they continued cleaning without having Baekhyun hitting flies throughout the duty.

The sun was about to settle down when Jennifer was walking down the road to her house.

She once again stretched her arms and tried to crack a few joints to release some tensions in her body. It's been quite a day for her indeed.

"Maybe mia was right. I am getting too old. I guess.." She mumbled while rubbing the back of her head while trying to ease the tension at area

Just when Jennifer was tilting her head side to side, something caught her eyes. A few pile of garbage bag piled neatly under a lamp post can be seen on the left side of the street when she's on her way. But that's not what caught her attention.

It was this stuffed animal who's sitting under and in the middle of the light of the lamp post. Who wouldn't be attracted to this kind of picture?

She walked to it slowly and eye-ing carefully to make up what animal is it. "A teddy bear?" An eyebrow was raised. She held it up to and eye-level and study its feature. Realizing that the teddy was very clean and not a single scratch or dirt on it. "Now who would throw this cute little bear away? And it looks new!" She turns the bear around.

She eyed the pile of garbage bags once again before turning back to the bear. "It wouldn't be called picking up from the trash when its a little far from it, right?" Jennifer paused for a moment, bitting her lower lips, thinking that should she bring it home or not.

"Wait." She thought for a second before bringing the teddy bear closer to her nose to sniff it. "Great! It doesn't smell, but rather scented. I'm bringing you home, little one!"

She continued her way home while hugging her "new" teddy bear. Who would really just leave a perfect looking teddy bear on the street.

"I'm home!" Jennifer took off her shoes and place them neatly on the edge when she reached her destination.

"Welcome h- what is that?" Emma was about to finish her greet when her gaze into the thing her sister was hugging.

Jennifer lift it up and eyed it. "It's a live chicken. Of course it's a teddy bear! Isn't it obvious?" She finished her sentences with a chuckle. emma rolled her eyes. "Yeah I know but- where did you get it?"

"Saw it stranded on the street, I just rescued it." Jennifer said and went in straight to kitchen to grab a drink but not before placing the bear on the counter.

"What? You're telling me you just grab it out of nowhere, not knowing where its from or whoever it belongs to or is it really a bear and not a bomb?" Emma grimaced at her sister.

"It's not! I've checked. It's also clean and looks kinda new. Check it yourself then." Jennifer claimed after finishing a glass of water.

Emma was not sure if she should touch it but she did it anyway. "Oh, guess you're right." Her sister then smiled and ruffled her hair.

"Yah! Uh nevermind. I bought a piece of cake and banana milk for you, in the fridge. Don't forget to eat." emma fixed her hair and head into the living room to watch some cartoons.

"Aww thank you so much, you're the best!" Emma just waved her hand from the sofa.

After finishing some chores and taking a shower, Jennifer went to her bed to get her needed sleep. "Let's not forget you!" She grabbed the teddy bear and raised it high like it was her favourite thing.

Somehow she grew attached to the teddy bear even though they just meet.

Jennifer then went under her blanket with the bear. "Welcome to your new home." She mumbled quietly because her eyes were starting to get heavy.

She kissed the teddy bear right on the mouth before hugging it to Dreamland.

Little that she knows the stuffed one will no longer be a teddy bear the next morning. Because Jennifer just activated it.
