NEW FRIENDS

KATH

I opened the gate and we were about to go inside the front door, as we saw the chaos inside through the window. They make so much noise that it seems like they were some kind of tribe and they throw and splash clothes, toys, papers, and water guns inside the house.

"Oh, Kath?" I turned to Ken as he calls me, "I forgot that I have to go home at nine. I still have work to do."

"Is that so? Okay, go ahead," I faked a smile because I knew the same thing would happen. He is no different from my former lovers and as usual, they hated my siblings.

A MONTH LATER

"Hurry up! You're all going to be late! Hello? The school is far from here!"

It was still early but I could already hear mommy's voice from below. Today is our first day of school and it is my third year of college this year.

Camille is going to school the same as mine because there is also a senior high at our school which I attend, and she's in her 12th grade. It will be her last year in high school.
