"Okay class, I have a question." Our professor put down her marker and started walking around while looking at all of us. "Do lawyers take cases they know they can't win?"
I was here in our discussion room. Our professor was discussing the law. It's been a stressful day for me but still, I need to study hard or even harder for my dreams.
I raised my right hand and stood up "Lawyer's generally won't take cases when they know they can't win Ms. They are too busy to fool around with that." I gave them a bowed and a confident smile.
Our professor clapped her hands "That was a good answer Ms. Bravely. You may now sit." I did what she said, I sat down.
My seatmate gave me a thumbs up "You're such a smart girl!" she complimented. I silently laughed so that the class would not be distracted.
Actually, I don't know where I get my answer. Well yes, I said that I should study hard. But in the past days, we're just having a recitation.
It's my first year studying law and I can say that it wasn't easy. It was stressful! But It's been my dream since I was in high school. No matter how difficult it is, I will still persevere.
"Being a lawyer is a difficult work, but I'm happy that even if you know It is hard everyone in this class still dreams to become it. I know you know that the process of being or becoming a lawyer is not for the faint of heart. Lawyer's are like math solvers, They have the responsibility to find a solution to every problem."
Atty. Denice was right. Lawyers are really like a math solver.
After the long discussion, I am still with Athena Cervantes. "Girl Let's go to the library, I want to study so that I can answer our professor's question." she pulled my hand.
We have many similarities, like we're the same age, the same favorites in terms of foods but not in height. I'm 5'6 and she was 5'7.
"Lawyers have a right and a duty to make any objections that they see fit." She ran her hands through her hair while memorizing those.
"You know Athena, you should not memorize what you will say," I rested my arms on the table and started playing with my fingers.
I believe in that saying, 'Lawyers should not memorize what they will say' because, for me, It is very important to speak on your own, with your perspective.
She turned her gaze on me. "Are you saying that we should not study and just give an opinion on every case when we become a lawyer?"
I shook my head "I am not saying that we should not study and just give our opinion, I'm saying that we should give our perspective too especially, when we are in court. Even if you memorized every single word on the book, you still can not win cases when you just want to win."
She looked at me with amazed in her eyes "Wow girl! I love your brain. Can I borrow that?" She pointed her finger at my temple.
She is always like that. She always makes me happy. She is the reason why I don't need a bunch of friends, Athena is enough.
We have a bunch of thick books here on our table but I was not in the mood to read those, maybe later. I love reading books but it depends on my mood.
"Bravery!" Athena called me "Look at that cute guy!" she pointed her finger to the guy sitting on the table in front of us. The guy turned a bit of his gaze on us and our eyes met! I suddenly stiffened. "Girl, it looks like you like that guy huh!" she pinched my waist. "I did not know you know how to fall in love with guys" she let out a loud laughed.
I cover her mouth. We are in a freaking library! "Please be silent." that was our librarian! I suddenly feel embarrassed.
The next thing I knew, I was in the canteen. I am here because it is our rest time "Finally!" that was Athena. "Let's go to your crush!" she likes making me annoyed.
She pulled my hand and tried finding that guy "Stop your skimble- skamble!" but she was still focusing on finding him.
"Finally I found him!" he was sitting alone in front of a big mirror "I am gonna show you some magic, Bravery. I can tell him to talk to you and guess what, I am gonna tell him that even if I am far from him."
What is she saying? He looked at him and it's looked like she was focusing. My mouth fell open when the guy was suddenly in front of us. "Hi! I'm Zavien Dean Xhynie. What Is your name?" he offered his hand to me.
Out of shock at what was happening, I received It. "Bravery Zoe Alphonse" When I looked at Athena, she winked at me, and they smirked. While I am still shocked. How can she do that?
But when I noticed that this situation is familiar to me. I dream of It! All of this was In my dreams! I tried reminiscing my dream and It is the same as what is happening right now, even my thoughts are the same. How is that possible?
Is this the same as what I have watched? Is this about having a special ability? Or it is just a deja vu? That was a question on my mind.
"Are you okay?" Zavien Dean asked, checking me. I nodded "Let's sit" He helped me to sit. I am still out of my mind. I sat down In the middle of Athena and Zavien Dean.
"Are you okay? You look pale" She checked on me too.
I gave her a thumbs-up sign to let her know that I am okay. I just let my dreams out of my mind. Maybe it is just a Deja Vu. Maybe I am just being overacting. I should not think of that so that I will be not distracted because of that.
