"It's on me girls." Honey said "order everything you want, " she added
"Oh, Hon are you sure about that, " Kimmy ask
"The last time I check I'm not yet a beggar, so yes, I am sure about it, "
"don't regret it," Jessica
" two cheesecake and one milk tea for me."
"Same order for me." Honey said.
"Two chocolate cake, one apple, and one milk tea, "
And we look at Kimmy, she ate a lot but she never gets fat. She smiled sweetly and start ordering.
"two strawberry cake, one chocolate ice cream, one chocolate cake, and a milk tea please."
We left Honey at the counter while she pays for our order. We are looking for a table where we can eat. We're not like those girls that have their spot in the canteen, we don't do that.
"How many days you haven't eaten?"
"Whatever, I will eat whatever I want, and besides it's on Honey," she answered as we sit.
Honey arrived with our order, waitress helped her.
"Why did left us, you know we need help, " Kimmy ask Jessica
"I got Pissed off by the leader of that band, what does he think, I'm his assistant?"
'What did he do to make you so mad and left?'
"He is so demanding and so bossy." we can see that she is annoyed by that guy. "He asks for coffee, I gave him coffee, he didn't say it is a latte,"
Flashback (JESSICA)
I gave him the coffee that he asks. I'm about to go out of their dressing room when he called my name again.
"Hey, miss what's this?"
"Coffee?"
"I want a latte, not this trash!"
"If you just tell me earlier I'd rather gave you a latte."
I took the cup and went to the pantry to make a latte.
"Here's your latte,"
"Are you kidding me, this is not even hot."
I want to pour this cup of latte on his head. But I stop myself. I went back to the pantry area. I took the electric kettle and something he can use to make his latte. I went back to their dressing room and give him all that.

" Then after the concert, he's like a boss commanding me to get water clean their room and everything. What am I? I coordinate the concert not his P.A, "
"Relax Jess, your ears it is smoking now," said Honey
"he's such a jerk," Jessica added.
"Same as their vocalist, he bumps into me, and then he's the one who's angry, he doesn't even say sorry or something, arrogant."
"Zenrry?"
"Yes, he thinks he owns the hallway?"
"Maybe he thought you are one of his fun,"
"no way, I don't even he exist,"
"He's dumbfounded when you finished singing, "
"He's lucky he heard an angels voice, "
"He doesn't even move while staring at you,"
"Oh there they are, " we look who shouted, and we found my stepsisters walking towards our table.
"Hi, there Jessica, when will you give me the list of songs that'll be using ate the play,"
"I haven't chosen a lead role yet,"
"Oh, come on Jessica, don't make it hard on you, I know that you will go to choose me,"
I just continued eating while I listen to them.
"The nerve of this girl, " Honey whispered
"Shhh,"
"Let's see, well, attend the audition tomorrow, "
"Do I need that?"
"Just come tomorrow and you'll see, "
"Come on Jessica! Don't waste my time, "
"Then leave," she answered
"Hmph!!!" She said and walked away
"Does she thinks she's that good, "
"Just give her a chance, " I suggested
"Oh come on Leen, If only..."
"I can't and you know that.".
"I know,"
Jessica is the president of the art club, I wanted to support her, but I can't even join that club, Gretta doesn't want that to happen.
"We're going to be late, let's go." Honey said
"Let's go"
And we went to our classroom, we are taking up Business Management, our father are businesses partner. We meet Kimmy and Jessica at a party. Luckily they will go to the same school and starting on that day we become friends.
Since my mom and brother left, dad thought me everything about his business, I'm doing my best for him to be proud of me. I don't want to let him down. I'm the only one he can count on when it comes to business.
My stepsisters don't want to manage our business they just want to travel, shopping, and have a good time. They don't even want to go to school. Dad encourages them to take a tourism course instead. They can travel wherever they want. And they said yes.
I miss my mom it's been 18 years since they left. I can't remember anything about her, what does she look like, even my brother. My Dad removed everything that will remind us about them.
My brother promised me that he will come back for me. That's why I can't leave our house. I still hope he will come back. I hold the necklace that he gave me before they left.
FLASHBACK
"I will come back I promise you."
"Please don't leave,"
"Michael let's go," Mom shouted
"Mom, please don't leave me" I cried, but she doesn't look at me. I run to her and hug her." Please, mom, Don't go"
She removed my arms around her and go inside the car. "Let's go, Michael."
"I will come back I promise," he said and go inside the car.
I cried while watching their car.
"Mom!" I shouted
Dad embraced me, "it's ok honey, everything will be okay, "
"Why did they leave us, dad, "
"You will understand it soon"
I felt so sad and angry. Why did they leave? Why? I was so young when they left. But pain is still in my heart.
END OF FLASHBACK
Dad always goes on a business trip, our company is around the world, he often comes home, he will only stay for a couple of they and leave again.
He bought a condominium for me but I haven't moved yet. Because of my brother's promise, I am still hoping that one day he will come.
"I know you will come back" I whispered then focused on the lesson.
