Hi, my name is Joseph Adams. But, you can call me Joe. I'm 19 years old and now I am in second year college. I'm taller than most teenagers. College schedule can not hinder my band jamming with my friends and play basketball every week.
I come from a harmonious family. However, the harmony was taken away from me and my sister in a train accident. At that time I was 16 years old and my sister, Nadine who was only 7 years old. So since then I try to not selfish and give my full attention to my slittle sister.
------
That noon is very hot! I'm stuck in traffic. Not a single cloud up there. Where the hell the thick clouds that I saw yesterday? My black leather jacket absorbing the sun's heat that made me even more sweating. It seems like I was taking a wrong jacket.
25 minutes ago I was still in my cold room while working on my monthly project that my teachers gave. I was making a frame of the concept when my phone rang.
"Yes, hello?" I answered the call without seeing the screen.
"Hello? Joe? " Nadine was a calling.
I kind of wonder why Nadine called me when she was supposed to be receiving training in dance studio since 10 minutes ago. "Yes, why, sist?" I said without looking away from the laptop.
"Can's you help me, please? I forgot to bring my bag. It's in dining room. Can you bring that for me to here?" Said the 10 years old girl from across the pleading tone.
For a moment I considered looking at my laptop screen. But I promised I would do anything for my only one sister.
"Okay, I'll bring it for you. Give me 30 minutes." I said, closing the laptop.
"Yeay! Thanks a lot bro! "Said Nadine across with passion.
I smiled at this. The connection was disconnect.
I quickly changed clothes and bring my sister's bag that left as quickly as possible. So I can continue my project.
And now here I am. Nearly 20 minutes I was stuck in traffic. Only 3 blocks to go until I arrived at my sister's dance studio and give this bag. Damn, what the hell is my sister's stuffed in this bag? Why is heavier than the usual bag I bring?
A few meters ahead, the road back smoothly. Apparently there is an accident not far from there. Do not want to waste even more time, I encourage my bike.
I parked my bike in front of a simple 3-floor building. Then I rushed in and found a middle aged woman behind the reception desk.
I went to middle-aged woman and asked, "excuse me, ma'am. Sorry to interrupt."
"What's wrong?" Replied the middle-aged woman with a haughty tone, raising her head with dramaticly. I wonder why a woman with an attitude like this can be accepted as a receptionist?
"Where is Miss Kimberly's class?" I asked politely.
Women in front of me looked at me with a who-the-hell-are-you-look. So sharp. Her eyes were watching me from head to foot. "What is your bussiness?" she asked in a tone still arrogant.
"I just wanted to bring my sister bag." I replied, pointing to my sister's bag.
Whether this was my imagination or what, her face turned into a friendly look as she replied, "oh. Her class is on the 2nd floor room 23. "
My guess is, she is familiar with my sister and my sister borrowed the phone at the reception desk to call me.
I smiled and thanked her and head for the stairs to the second floor.
Arriving on the second floor, I immediately found room 23 because it was right in front of the stairs.
I'm a little hesitant to knock on the door. Fear of disturbing the ongoing training sessions. But I did not hear anything from inside. I began to doubt. is this the right room?
But, instead of waiting at the door like a fool, I decided to knock twice.
There was no response.
Then I knocked on the door again. This time a little bit louder.
"Come in! The door was not locked! "Said a woman from the room.
In response, I opened the door slowly but surely.
When the door is open enough for people to see me from inside, a little girl ran up to me and hugged me. This is definitely my hyperactive sister. I kind of looked down to see her cute face and gave her her bag.
Then someone who had seemed ask me to come in said, "finally you made it. We are all waiting for you."
I looked up. Then I saw that face and that smile ......
