CHAPTER 09

CHAPTER 09: Lilly

I don’t know who is this but I think he is a boy. Why is there someone or a boy will going to call me? And it’s already 10 in the evening.

“Hmm…w-what do you want and how did you get my number?” I can’t help to ask him.

“Oh! Sorry! By the way, I’m Luke Hutchens and you are Samantha Macklin, right?” he said.

“Y-yeah, I’m Sam! H-how did you know my name? What makes you call?” I asked and feeling nervous. No one tries to call me on my phone except my teachers. And this number is hasn’t been saved on my phone. It’s weird and scary.

“I’m your classmate! I was also taking an online class and I just want to ask if I can borrow your notes in Math,” he explained.

“Y-yes! But wait I’m going to find first where did I put it.”

“Oh! I’m just kidding. You don’t need to find it,” he said and laugh.

What’s wrong with him? Is he trying to play a trick on me or maybe he won’t have any problems in life and he just wants to laugh. He is now the happiest man because until now he is laughing. What’s wrong? Okay, I sound bitter maybe I should act that I’m so glad for him because he is happy.

“I’m going to end this call because I don’t have time for those people like you!” I said seriously.

“Oh! I’m sorry again, please don’t end this call. Ma’am Jean instructs me to call all of my classmates. She said we need to finish all the activities as early as we can because next Month was going to meet each other and take our last exam.”

“O-okay, thanks for the information and sorry for what I’ve said,” I apologize to him.

“No worries it’s okay! It’s my fault,” he said and laugh again. He is weird.

“Okay, bye!” I said and I end the call. I don’t want to take time with this weird guy. But why ma’am Jean makes him do so, as I remember she doesn’t have any trust in her students and she is the one who gonna contact us. She didn’t ask for help or favor from anyone before. But maybe she did now.

I need to finish all of this. It’s already 10 in the evening and I’m still awake. Maybe I was too busy so it’s hard for me to finish this early.

It’s good that I didn’t sell my laptop and my phone because I need them. It’s been two years since I did not open my social media accounts.

I also change my phone number, I just use my phone and laptop in a school class. I think even I didn’t do the changing of phone number or changing other information on my phone, they will not going to find me.

I can’t stop myself before, hoping that they will go to find me but they didn’t. I was too near to them and it makes 2 hours ride to go there in the city. But they didn’t find me. That’s the truth and it’s hurt.

I stop on what I’m doing because my phone is ringing again. Who the hell is going to call at this time again?

As I see a familiar number I didn’t answer it. I don’t know who is this keeps on calling and texting me. I’m hoping it was Dad, Mom, or one of my family members but it’s not.

I pick my phone and I end the call. It’s been one year since this mysterious call of mine.

The day is still the same. I need to go up early, start cleaning, doing my school work. It’s Monday today.

In my two years staying here, that’s what I’m doing. I know it’s kind of boring but I didn’t feel bored here. Because this is my life when I left there and I should be thankful.

I can’t imagine myself I was in a funeral with crowded sad people who is really longing to my coffins. I just really be thankful I was not died that day when I’m full of heartaches. That’s should be really define as boring.

I went to the kitchen and try to find them. I saw the one chef who is so busy doing the cooking. The other one chef is still not here so it’s mean he still sick or not feeling well.

And I saw Lilly come-out from her room. She is honestly have a good outfit even in sleeping time. When she reach the kitchen she yawned the chef. Oh! No, I’m not going to be surprise about it.

I know she didn’t notice me, I’m here at the backdoor.

She folded her arms. “It’s already 6:30 in the morning and you haven’t done cooking!”

“Your Uncle Lat is not feeling good, so I’m the one…”

Leo the chef haven’t finish what he’s going to say because Lilly roll her eyes and walk out. Huh, really a bad brat.

Lilly sit in a chair and as if she genuinely waiting for her food. Yeah, unlike me she can eat first before doing the work.

“Good morning, Leo!” I greeted him.

“Good morning too, hope you have a nice day today, Sam. Unlike the other one,” he say and I laugh.

I held my eyes to Lily.

“Good morning to you, Master Lily,” I greeted her too but she just ignored me.

She look at her watch and then yawned again.
