Suddenly it rained while
Leyna was running home. She ran as fast as she could so she could get home
before the rain became heavier, especially considering the number of
assignments to submit tomorrow. She missed the bus and she didn’t carry her umbrella
because she woke up late.
Leyna made it home after running all the way. However, she
arrived home later than usual. She didn’t have more time to do her assigments. She
hasn't even made dinner and took a shower yet.
"I think I have to stay up late again tonight,” she muttered
with a tired sigh.
Leyna lived alone in her house since her parents decided to
move to their hometown. Her older brother, Randy, chose to live in an apartment
near the house Leyna currently lives in. Leyna and her brother's relationship
is not very good. This evening they also just had a big fight.

This morning, Leyna was late for school again because she woke
up late. After she finished her punishment, she was able to return to her
class.
“Is it because of staying up late again?” Ashley asked while
showing the page in her textbook to Leyna which only Leyna answered with a nod.
* * *
"This is just my opinion, you better find another part-time
job that doesn't take up too much of your time. Besides, your brother already
gave you pocket money," Ashley opened the conversation as they walked
towards the school gate.
"But my relationship with him is not very good, I don't
feel comfortable asking him for money," complained Leyna.
"But
he doesn't mind it, right?"
"Maybe?
Never mind. I have to hurry to my workplace. I don't want to be late. See you
tomorrow,” Leyna shouted while running away.
* * *
Leyna, who was running home, was shocked and slowed her steps
when her cell phone that she had in her pocket vibrated. She was annoyed when she
saw who called her.
"What? If there's nothing important, I'll turn off the phone," Leyna
immediately asked when the phone was connected.
"Are
you late again today? Your assignments were also not being done?" Randy
asked.
"So
what?"
“Your
teacher called me this morning. I told you, don't come home too late if you
want to work part-time, you don't have enough time to do your assignments,
right?” Randy started grumbling.
“Please,
you always get angry because of that.”
“It’s
because your never want to listen to me.”
Suddenly,
Leyna screamed as someone suddenly grabbed her bag and pointed at her with a
knife. Panicked, she shouted for help and her location to her brother before
his cell phone was taken by that person. Luckily, her brother was around there,
so he could help her. Her things were successfully retrieved.
“See?
That’s why I told you not to come home too late.”
“I’m
sorry,” answered Leyna. “I will find another part-timer job which doesn't make
me going home late at night.”
“Good.
Now, I’ll take you home.”
"Thank you."
