Chapter 42 - The Reasons

"I--- I--"I don't know if this is the time for me to admit that I like him

"You don't need to answer that," Zendaya said and she continue eating

"Yeah she's right, it's a personal thing, that's between you and Seth," Wilson said while smiling at me

"At last you said something nice," Alma said while slapping lightly on Wilson's arm

"Its hurt, you are inclined to hurt," Wilson said while pouting

"If I kick your face, it might make you sing 'it's hurt'" Alma said

We bought laughed at them. I looked at Celine; annoyance could be seen on her face

"It's just better if we talk, we've been knowing each other for a month yet we don't know each other's background" Yeah I agree with Eunice

All we know about each other is name and surname

"Okay I'll be the first to introduce myself; I'm Alma Rissa Sardido I'm from the Philippines the reason why I'm here is that I received a scholarship, we are poor my both parent are farmers, so when Serenity University offered me a scholarship I accept it immediately. I hope that when I graduate I will be able to find a good job so that I can lift them out of poverty" Alma said

"I offered her help but she refused," Wilson said

"Where did you two meet?" Judith asked both of them

"I applied to be an assistant to their Wilson family, and his parents hired me as his butler" Alma said

That's a very shocking story, from butler to lover?

"When I first saw her I immediately fell in love with her, even though she is talkative" Wilson's laughing while remembering the past

"My dream is to give my family a home that they own and help them" Alma added

Alma's parent was very lucky with her.

She has high dreams for her family, she is ready to get away from them just to give them a good life; she impresses me, very family-oriented.

"How about you Wilson?" Lucas asked

Our attention went to Wilson who seat next to Alma

"I study here because Alma is also here, in fact, I can go to any elite university but I still chose here because apart from Alma, I also what to experience being a normal student," Wilson said

"How about you Judith?" Alma asked

"My surname is Vladimir; I'm half Russian and Indiana we used to be rich and we lived in India we used to have a hospital, but it went bankrupt. I would have planned to be a doctor like my dad in case our family can't afford the tuition fee.." Judith said while playing her fingers

"How did you get here at Serenity University?" Alma asked her a question

"My parents would have planned to marry me to an old man, he is kind but he is old and I don't like him either, fortunately, I received an invitation for a scholarship here at Serenity and I didn't waste the opportunity and grabbed it," She said

"Why didn't you take the medical course? Why psychology?" Eunice asked her

"Because it's Alma's fault; she told me that there were no more slots for a medical course and when I was done enrolling in a psychology course I found out that there is still a slot for medical?" She said while giving a death glare to Alma

"Hey! I already apologies for that, I didn't know that you would believe it—hahaha" Alma said while laughing

So it's her fault, what do we expect for an Alma Rissa Sardido? The naughtiest in the gang

"But I will still fulfill my dream of becoming a doctor, I want to treat the poor in our country because not everyone goes to the hospital when they sick, they usually just treat themselves because of lack of money," She said, her advocacy is good

I suddenly think what is my dream in life..

"That's tearful Judith, not everyone thinks that way about treatment, the other hospital has a policy that you need to pay first before they treat you they don't care if you die there" Lucas comments

"Okay, how about you Lucas?" Judith asked Lucas

"I come from Hart family I have an older brother, we were rich but our parents had no time for us, we only meet once or five times a year" He smiled bitterly

"That's hard.." Eunice held the hand of Lucas who was currently next to her

"So maybe I entered the Serenity University because I'm hoping that somehow they will notice me, but still nothing" He bowed his head

"Is there a parent like that? If only a person could be content with their life no child would experience that" Wilson said

"So I promised to myself that when I start a family I will not let my children suffer what I have experienced" Lucas added

"What if you look for a girlfriend first before you think about starting a family, Eunice is available you can be asked he later," Alma said, we laugh and teased them

"How about you Eunice?" Lucas asked Eunice

"Uhm, I'm from an orphanage; I'm an Australian but family Collins adopted me, and that is why I become an American citizen. I was adopted many times but they repeatedly sent me back to the orphanage" Her narration

"Why?" I asked

"Because I can't reach their standard, the reason why I enrolled here because.." She finds it difficult to say the reason

"The one who adopted me tried to sell me; that's why I ran away" She continue while crying

"How they can abandon their child? What kind of people do that?" Alma said

I thought when I entered here I'm the most pitiful person, but I'm wrong..
