Chapter 24 - MEETING A NEW FRIEND

CALESIE'S POINT OF VIEW(POV)

"Come with me," He grabbed my arm then pulled me, It was as if he was in an urgent business with me,

"What is your problem?" I asked, trying to let go, he is too strong,

He brought me to the side of the university's building, the place is cornered by walls, It's unescapable since he's blocking the only way,

"What do you want?" I asked

"I am asking you the same question that I asked yesterday, Report her,"

"I am so sorry, I can't,"

"I am not asking you, I am ordering you to do what I told you to do,"

What is he, my boss? I haven't even started working yet,

"What do you want?"

"Calixta is my little sister I should protect her and do that I need you,"

At first, he told me to forget everything about what I heard and know yesterday, and now he is bringing it up again,

The only thing that I don't get here is, Why can't he do it himself?

"If you want to protect her then do it yourself, I have nothing to do with your family, and with your problems, It was just an accident that I heard everything yesterday, So don't drag me into this," I was about to leave but he pulled my hands,

"Do it!!" He shouted

"I said do it yourself!" I shouted back then forcibly remove his hand holding my arm, then turned my back on him

I can't do what he wants me to do, Calixta and I talked about this last night, she told me to forget everything,

"Please..." the tone of his voice is like begging me, I stopped because It was my first time hear him like that since I first met him,

"I am sorry, I can't," I was about to take a step leaving him behind but,

"Calixta don't deserve this, She is just a victim of our father because our father hated her, to save her from our father's cruelty the dean has to know what she's doing, then she will be free, Father will be in prison, Please help me get Calixta away from our father,

"I don't want to get involve, If you wanted to protect her then do it yourself, I am just a new student here, I don't know anything about you or Calixta so I am sorry," I said, this time I finally left him,

if they want to protect each other then do so, I wanted to help them but how? Report Calixta to the dean? that is not possible, I don't even have the proof,

I can't understand why he wanted me to do it when he can talk to the dean too,

I went back to the apartment, I was expecting that Hailey came back but No, She still hasn't come back

maybe she wanted to stay with her family but why hasn't she texted me yet?.... Maybe she is too busy bonding with her parents..... I understand that...

I MISS MY MOM.....

I sat on the side of my bed, then put the paper bag on the side table, I opened Aldrin's gift for me, I almost forgot about it because of what happened earlier,

I opened the box and a touch screen cellphone was inside of it, I was amazed because of how beautiful it is,

my only question is

How am I going to use it?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I kept turning the touch screen cellphone around, figuring out how to open it,

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

I know maybe the books will help me, Books always helps me anyway,

So with that in my mind, I went to the University's library to figure out how to use this complicated phone,

After minutes of walking I finally arrived at the library, it's only minutes to go to the library but yesterday Aldrin and I took for about 2 hours,

I went inside the library, then searched for a book on the bookshelves, I don't know what kind of book but I guess I will get a book that says technology in the title

After minutes of searching, I finally found it! The book says basic learning ( TECHNOLOGY ) maybe this can help,

"I'm so sorry, Are you alright?" A man accidentally bumps into me,

"Yes, I'm fine, I'm sorry, It's my fault I wasn't looking on the way,"

I was looking at the book while immediately going towards the table just on the side so I didn't see him,

"I'm sorry about that," I apologized again while helping him pick his book that's scattered on the floor,

"No, it's fine, I can do it by myself,"

"But it's my fault so I will help you,"

I helped him pick up all the books, Wow, he sure reads a lot because the books were so many,

"Thank you so much," He thanked,

"No, It's fine, It's kind of my fault anyway, Sorry... Again,"

"It's fine, I'm gonna go now," He said so I nodded then he left,

Why do I always bump into people?

I went to the table just on the side of the librarian, I opened the book then picked up my new phone inside my pocket, I was trying to understand while reading it but it will take some time,

"It says here that to open a cellphone I have to long-press the power button, Okay? But where is the power button?" I whispered to myself,

I searched for the power button on my cellphone but there are so many buttons on the side, maybe I should try it all, I just have to long-press it anyway,

*1 HOUR LATER*

Why can't open this phone?! Am I doing it wrong?

"Miss don't you have the book that I borrowed from you yesterday" I heard a man asked the librarian, I am just on the side so I can hear them,

I have to concentrate

"Can't you find the book on our shelves sir?" The librarian asked

"I searched for it in the whole room but it's gone,"

"What type of book is that sir?"

I got back on what I was doing trying to long-press all of the buttons on the side of my new cellphone,

Why isn't it working?

"Here let me help you with that," A man just took my cellphone then pressed the button, He showed me the phone, It was on! How did he?.....

"Wow! the phone is on,"

"Thank you so much," I said and then looked at him, Wait,

He's the guy that I bumped into earlier,

"You're welcome," He said they also looked at me, We point at each other because we are not expecting to see each other again after what happened earlier,

"And you also have the book that I have been looking for," He said pointing to my book

"Oh, this?" I asked while showing him the book,

"Yes that's the one, Are you using it?"

"Yes kind of, I have this new phone but I don't know how to use it that's why I am reading this book,"

"Is that so? Do you want me to help you?" He offered

"Uhhh... Sure, If I am not going to bother you with anything that you are doing, Thank you so much,"

finally, someone who can help me

"But...."

"Hmmm?" I asked he looks like he has a condition,

"After that can, I get the book, I wanted to continue what I have just read yesterday,"

"Oh, Yeah, Sure you can have it,"

"That's a deal then,"

He sat on the chair just beside me, he taught me everything about the phone and also taught me how to use the phone, He is good at teaching this kind of technologies,

In just a couple of minutes, he already taught me the things that I have to know, Basic things that I will be needed for using the phone,

"Then, that's it, you're ready to become a new phone user,"

"Wow, Thank you so much uhhhh...."

"Just call me Kio, and You are?" He offered his hand which means he wanted a handshake,

"Calesie, Nice to meet you," I said, then shake his hand,

"I never met a person that doesn't know how to use the technology,"

"Well, you do now,"

"Right," I saw that he slightly laughed,

"You can have the book Kio, Thank you again for teaching me," I hand him over the book since that's our deal and I'm not going to be needing it anymore,

"You're welcome, thank you for the book and I am leaving now, " as soon as he gets the book, Kio left, I am so thankful to meet him Because he introduced me to technologies,

Now I know everything about this phone, I'll have to return to the apartment, It's already getting dark, Time flies so fast,

I can text Hailey now, Kio also helped me put the sim to my new phone, It was odd because the sim is open and it was already inside the paper bag, Did Aldrin opened the sim?

Anyways, I have to ask where Hailey is, if she went back to the apartment and I'm not inside since I have to work at 6 then she will be worried,

( To Hailey:

Hailey this is Calesie, I got a new number, I was just wondering where you are, don't search for me at night because I have a part-time job now so I won't be at our apartment later ) I said I hope she'll see my message,

I returned to our apartment while still tapping to my new phone,

it was getting dark and the time is 5:30 in the afternoon, I have to get ready because it's almost time for my work, it's a good thing that the convenience store is just 10 minutes away from the University,

*CRIIIIING!!! CRIIING!!!!* (PHONE RANG)

I checked the phone to see who's calling, it's an unknown number,

Who is it?

"Hello?" I answered

"Bessy is that you?" It's Hailey's voice

"Yes, it's me,"

"You have a new number why?"

"Yes, I have a new phone now and a new number,"

"Really?"

"Where are you, by the way, Bessy?"

"Uhhh..... Sorry, Bessy, I think I am going to be absent for tomorrow"

"What? Why?"

"It's my grandma she passed out yesterday while we are partying at our house, we are now at the hospital still waiting for grandma's result,"

"Oh my gosh, Is your grandma going to be alright?"

"Yes, don't worry she is going to be fine, sorry I didn't call, I was so shocked, so I didn't think of calling you yesterday" Hailey explained

"It's okay I understand, "

"I think I am going now, Bessy, See you," Hailey said, and then she hung up, I hope her grandma is okay,

Anyways I have to go and get ready,

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

I am now finally ready for my first day of work, I am wearing a pink hoodie with jeans on the bottom,

I have to go there before 6;00 so I must leave now, I left the apartment, I felt like I forgot about something,

I was about to left the university when suddenly I saw the guards talking in front, Oh my gosh! Why did I forget about them?!

I forgot that there's a curfew for us students,

.

HOW WILL I PASS THEM?!!

"Are you sure that I am going to be okay with this plan?" I asked

"Yes, you are....trust me and we will be okay," she said, we are now at our hiding place, She sure is good at pretending and lying,

"What if I get in prison for my whole life, I will do something bad to her after all," I asked

"No you won't I have a connection, A big connection and that is the reason why,
