Cup Noodles

The night I saw her last was the night I left that mansion. She was fading away, like a feather turning more and more transparent. Reaching towards her with my hand I make an useless attempt to grab her and not let her go. But the wind was more desperate than my feelings.

Her

This coridor is really big to mop. One side has windows, the other side is two rooms. Huge rooms. There's some decorative paintings on the wall. Let me teach you the proper way to clean a place up. First open up all the windows. Then clean up the walls using a cloth or vacuum cleaner. Then clean up the furnitures. First clean them with another piece of cloth. Put some furniture cleaner fluid then mop it again. Then Clean up the floor. This way you'll have a proper clean room. Now then, time to clean the windows. As I look out through the window there's a small lake. That explains the cold breeze. As I look around I see someone standing at the very edge of the lake. Oh no! He might fall in the lake! I jump through the window and start running towards him.

"Hey you!!!! Step back!! You'll fall!!", I scream while running.

He's a she. I didn't notice as her hair was covered by a branch of tree. She turns at me wandering. Long hair, pale skin, like someone sucked the life out of her. And I stumble upon a root and straight fall on her feet.

"Excuse me, mister.", such a sweet voice, "don't beg like that, I don't have money!"

"I'm not begging!!", I stand up, "I came here to save you!!"

"Save me? From what?"

"You shouldn't stand at the edge like that! You could've fallen in the water!"

"I know how to swim."

"That doesn't mean you should stand at the edge like that!! Are you suicidal or something?"

"No no no! I don't have any reason to do that!!"

"Why are you still standing at the edge?!", I pull her away from the edge.

"I'm sorry!!", she looks like she's about to cry.

"I didn't mean to.. I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing? I should've been more careful. Thank you.", She bows to me.

"No no, please lift your head, I didn't do anything."

"No!", she kind of looks angry, "I don't have anything on me today but I... I'll bring something for you tommorow. Please come here at this time."

"You don't have to!"

"Of course I do!! Please, I'll be happy!!", Her eye sparkles.

I cannot but accept something when she gives me that look, can I?

"Alright, you win. But you'll have to accept something from me too. Alright?", I say.

"But...", I stop her from speaking.

"No butts miss", I say my dads dialogue. "So, what's your name?", I ask.

"It's uh... Umm..."

"You don't remember your own name?", I ask.

"I do!!!"

"Well, just say it then."

"I'm not supposed to say my names to strangers."

"Huh!? What are you, 8 years old?!"

"No!!! I'm as close as turning 15."

"So you are 14?"

"I'm not supposed to say that."

"Ok, then tell me when you'll turn 15?"

"In a year."

"So you are 14."

"You tricked me!!! You...!!!!",she pouts, "I'm not allowed to say bad words, or else!!!"

Wow, she is really a kid. She is just one year smaller than me. But she is still a kid from heart.

"Fine, you don't have to say it", I smile, "I'm Alto by the way. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too I guess."
