I'm One of Them

She put on her glasses again and took her phone from her pocket, open it. Its wallpaper was bright so I could see the clock.

"Honestly, I already checked it some minutes ago," she uttered.

"Oh yes, you walked from this point in earlier time before, Fransisca."

"You don't need to mention my name."

"Just so you know, it a normal expression, and it's more polite to mention it, especially the surname."

"So I have to call you as Norbert?"

"Yes," I answered, "that should do the trick."

"The trick?" she asked.

"Oh, nevermind about that, it's just an accent."

"Despite your look, it seems you're weirder."

I smiled and opened my phone to took a look at the clock. I put it back in my pocket after I got it.

"Come on, it's already five past six."

"I know it, I'm wearing a watch," she showed me hers, "we are very nearly reached it."

"Once we get there I will wait for you outside the market."

"I'm sure that this will be done in seconds."

"Okay, I will wait."

She walked through the entrance and entered the market room, causing the bell rang. She chose an orange thick book with five thousands price.

As she started walking out, I threw a look around. I saw that there were some female pupils walked here from the dormitory area.

"Morning!" Fransisca greeted them friendly.

"Morning, Fransisca!" They answered her greet and walked through again.

"It seems that they're grouped."

A silence situation created spontaneously. I thought that I was the creator of this situation.

She laughed, "Yes, you can say that they are grouped."

"So, what's the funny point of it?" I threw my eyes at her.

"You can say that I'm their member," she answered.

"Their member? I don't get it."

She step ahead and turned her body facing to the north side. Her hand pointed to a building in dormitory area.

She threw me a question l, "Do you know what that building is?"

"Surely I do," I answered, "it is one of buildings in dormitory area."

"Yes, after the park, there is a small hall for 'our' activities."

I skipped her, "Did you just say 'our'?"

"Yes, our means me and the whole dormitory residents."

"The whole?" I yelled, "but there are more than forty residents!"

She puffed, "What did I mean is that the corridor under the building next to the Vocational High School is dedicated as hall."

"Okay, so you are a dormitory girl, aren't you?"

"Of course I am," she uttered, "however, you can't change the fact that I'm one from ten in our graduation."

She turned her body facing to the south again. She started walking slowly.

"Do you know in which part do I live?"

"No, I even didn't ever enter that area."

"Let me tell it, I live in the second dormitory, but at the second floor."

"So you live together with them?"

"There are twenty four dormitory residents from junior division, so we separated into four each room," she explained.

We continued walking slowly as she explained that, but we still not met anyone more.

The two female pupils who passed some times ago must be Fransisca' friends.

"But why did you not get to school with them today, Fransisca?"

"I'm so glad you asked that," she laughed.

"I know there are two dormitory residents in our class, but it makes no sense."

"They woke up lately, that is the reason."

I did not want laugh or say something. Fransisca just told me something that I already heard for hundreds time about dormitory.

"Can you give me an answer?" she uttered.

"Go ahead."

"Which one do you prefer : a digital group chat or a hangout group in cafe?"

"I rarely go to cafe, so I don't get any bad about that."

"Think wisely," she added.

"Well, I think we can make a group on Google Hangout. A double up!" I threw a joke.

"That was an abomination, but not a common sense."

"I know it, it was spontaneously."

"However, let's get ou feet walking again."

"Yeah, keep going."

We walked faster and went back to the junior high school area, leaving the market. But at that time I heard a phone notification sound.
