I am on my own

*Ehem* "Then when are you planning to leave?" I changed the subject to feel better.

"Tomorrow," he replied shortly.

"Huh!?" my eyes wide opened. I got up from bed from the shocking news. "Really? I thought you would stay a bit more," I said in disappointment.

Wisaith turned his head to me and smiled. "A month is a lot of time for me. I should move on to something else."

"I was hoping you could stay a little longer. It was eye opening hearing your journey."

"Well, since what I am doing next isn't far away. I could visit you once in a while."

"What are you going to do anyway?" I got curious.

"Didn't I tell you when we first met? I am a teacher," he reminded me.

"I thought that was your real job."

Wisaith shook his head. "I always wanted to be a teacher, but I couldn't because of my situation back then."

"Wait!" I just thought of something. "Do you have a teaching license?"

"No," he replied shortly.

"Then how could you…" I stopped myself mid sentence. How could I forget? He knew people. So I changed the gear as smooth as marble. "... know what subject to teach?" That was close.

"I just need to teach things that don't require tremendous educational background," he answered.

"What would those be?"

"Behavior psychology and sociology is what I have on my mind at the moment. Oh! How could I forget? PE teacher too!"

"Where are you going to teach?"

"Drouth High School."

"The best school in the country?" I jumped off my bed. "What kind of connections do you have to get there?" I slipped without knowing.

Wisaith didn't answer me. He just looked at me and smiled, then ignored my question. "It's getting late."

I got anxious as well, but felt relieved that he didn't take my question too seriously. "Um… Yeah" I responded weakly before quietly laying down.

Normally, if a person experiences things like mine, they wouldn't be able to sleep. But from talking with Wisaith, my mind was at peace for some reason. I fell asleep very fast.

The next morning, when I was still deeply asleep, a noise woke me up instantly.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!* the sound of a guard hitting the cell. "Wisaith! It is time! Prepare yourself and come out quick!" he yelled and walked away.

Then, on the other bed, Wisaith raised up tiredly. *Yawn* He then looked over to me. "Good morning Sin."

"Good morning," I replied.

"Looks like I should go," he stood up and headed out right away.

"Don't you have things to pack up?" I also got out of bed.

"I wanted to have a full experience as a prisoner, so I didn't bring anything with me," he stopped and replied.

"Really? Not even a phone?" I was surprised.

"Nope."

"Then who is picking you up?"

"I was lucky enough to have a friend that can help me. The prison already informed him of my leave a few days ago."

"Oh…" I ran out of things to say. "Well, good luck out there."

Wisaith smiled. Before walking off, he turned his head back and said, "Prison is tough, but don't stress too much about it. I will visit you when I have time."

Then he left. I sat down on my bed, feeling sad a bit that my new friend just went away.

"Number 0202!" a guard yelled in front of my cell, cutting my emotions. "Don't think you can sit there all day. Come out now!"

I quietly got up and walked outside. "Now, I am really on my own."
