Steven Williams, a fresh graduate of Electrical Engineering. They moved to Canada ten years ago, since his Dad died, but they went back to the Philippines today because of his mom's business.
He cannot believe it. Today was his first summer vacation, and he was supposed to be still on the bed at this very hour, but his Mom keeps on calling and instructed him to go to her friend's house. So, he drove up to the town very early.
Now, he's outside the house of the Mendez family. He parked the car outside, hop out and stroll up to the gate. His mom's friend had a daughter named Sofia, and she was two years younger than him. She's fat, she has big round eyeglasses, and always wore long faded pants, a loose t-shirt, and her hair was always messy. She looks so horrible!
He smiled as he can imagine how ugly she would look today after ten years.
He's in front of the door now, eyes down busy tapping on his phone while his other hand reached for the handle, he was about to pull it but the door suddenly open.
A tall, fair-skinned girl, black eyes, long straight hair, with pink lips looks up at him. Their eyes remain locked for a moment, he looked at the woman confused as she smiles warmly at him.
She's Sofia Mendez, a senior high school student from a technical school around Manila. She stayed in an all-girl apartment during school days, but during summer break she goes home to Parañaque and stay there until the next school year starts.
