Scarlett sat on the chair, staring blankly at the notepad.
Her fin-gers were still clenched onto the fountain pen.
Immediately, a bead of sweat ran from her nose tip to the notepad, she quickly got back to her se-nses.
“Bucket list my foot” She scoffed, inwardly.
“What am I thinking? Bucket…Bucket what? List? Ack! I’ve gone crazy” She snapped, and closed her book.

She went to the b£d, and la-id down on it, watching the ceiling.
“Scarlett, don’t be pessimistic,,, jebal” She mo-aned lowly.
“Well, there’s nothing I can do though” She sighed, and sat upright.
She went back to the chair, and opened the note pad.
“Scarlett, Think. What would you like to do, and what will favor your mom so much when you are gone? Remember, we have few weeks till the end of summer” She thought.
She took her pen, and looked around the room.
She smiled, when she saw a Compact disk of LX top 10 music.
“LX!” She gushed.
“I really want to see him, face to face!” She smiled, and wrote;
1) Meeting LX In His Fan Meeting & Taking His Autograph.
“Wow,,, This is more like it” She smiled.
“Maybe if I keep looking around, I’ll find something. Guess I get my motivation from here” She said, and got to her feet.
She started looking around.
She got to the point that she entered her old room, where she and Samantha always sle-pt in.
She slowly walked to the cu-pboard, and bent down a bit.
She tried opening the last drawer, but it was too stiff.
She tried and tried, till it for-cefully jacked open.
She sighed in relief, but coughed lightly after the dust went on her face.
Her eyes met with something.
“The….Letters” She muttered.
“I have an….idea” She thought, staring ha-rdat the dirty and dusty letters.
“Wait,,, By the way,,, I never threw it away!” She almost yelled.

Scarlett ran back to her room, sat down quickly on the chair, flung the notepad hurriedly and started writing.
2) Find Samantha & Bring Her Back Home To Stay With Mum.
3) Gather Enough Money To Get Momma New Pair Of Eyes.
4) Find The Rapist Behind Samantha’s Past.
5) Travel To Paris,,, My Dream Country.
Scarlett sighed dee-ply.
“Will I be able to do all this within the summer? Even if I don’t do all this, Let me find Samantha mainly so that mom won’t be alone when I leave”
“And I also nee-d to be optimistic. I’m gonna achieve all this. Fighting Scarlett!!”
Scarlett blinked slowly.
“I’m forgetting something”
“Yes,,, A boyfriend. I haven’t gotten one ever since I was born. Gosh,,, does it mean I won’t even date before I die!” She g@sped.
“Sh!t!!! Not on my watch” She shook her head, and opened back the book.
As she wrote, She made it slowly and gentle.
6) A Date With My Boyfriend At A Cuisine Restaurant.
7) A ki-ss From Him On My Birthday, A week From Now.
“Whoa” Scarlett inhaled.
“I really went too far. Will all this happen though? I hope so”
“No,,, I don’t hope so. I know so” Scarlett smiled, and clapped her hands.

“Heyyy!!” Trina shouted, over the phone.
“What! Geez!” Phil shouted back.
“Why haven’t you been picking my calls?!” Trina asked.

“Hey, respect your big brother (Oppa)”
“Oppa, my foot! You’ve been ignoring my calls huh? Cause I told Beverly where you stay or cause I ate your vanilla ice cream and summer rolls”
“Wh…at?” Phil stuttered.
“Did…you eat any summer rolls when you visited? Please, tell me ‘No’…I beg you!!” Phil gulped.
“No indeed! I ate them all! It was great, that why”
“You dummy!! You made me make a fool of myself! Dammit!!”
“How?”
“I…gave Oscar a empty park of summer rolls then” He chuckled painfully.
“fu-ck! No! Whyyy!!” He added.
“Oh my…I didn’t know” Trina muttered.
“How would you know?!” Phil shouted.
“Op….Op…Oppa,,, I’m sorry” Trina said.
Phil blinked in disbelief.
“What? Oppa?” His eyes grew big.
“Yeah… You deserve to be called Oppa”
“I know you have another intention,,, You foolish weirdo!”
“No,,, I called to ask why you were ignoring my calls. I was veryyy worried sick” She sighed dee-ply, in pretense.
“I just got a new phone and recollected my old numbers” He explained.
“Oh…You say you recollected your old numbers?”
“Yeah,,, why??”
Trina made a fake cough.
“Does it mean,,, you still have his number?”
“His? Who?”
“O…O…Oscar” She replied, slowly.
“Oscar? My b©dyguard?”
“Yes,,, I nee-d his number, pretty please”
“Oh,,, Now,,, I see why you really called. Get the fu-ck out of my phone!!”
“Aiish!! Phil, please!!”
“He doesn’t love you! Rest!”

“fu-ck you, je-rk!!”
“fu-ck you, dummy!!”
“Aiish!!” Trina blurted, and ended the call.
“Ahhhhh!” She screamed, and threw her phone on the sofa.
“I loveeee hiimmm…Awww” She cried, and fell on the floor, rolling on it.
Phil smiled, and kept his phone on the glas-s center table.
He switched on the TV, and sat on the couch, chilling gallantly.
“I’ve dealth with Trina by not giving her Oscar’s number. I’m gonna spare any sort of revenge on Oscar since the summer rolls I gave him was eaten. Gosh,,, It’s so embarras-sing”
“Anyways- Phil paused, and threw a potato chip into his mouth.
“Scarlett and Beverly, get re-ady for your revenge!!” He laughed, and suddenly coughed aloud again.
“Not again” He je-rked, and drank his bottled water.
MONDAY***
9AM**
“Oscar?” Phil called, with a gesture.
Oscar slowly walked to him.
Phil cleared his throat, and opened his desk drawer.
He took out a pack of summer rolls.
“Here,,, take this” He said, and kept it on his desk.
“I’m sorry-
“It’s not an order. I’m pleading” Phil said, softly.
Oscar sighed and took it.
“Thank you” He muttered, and bowed his head low.
“You’re welcome” Phil smiled.
Oscar walked to a locker by the window, and kept it in there before retiring back to his post.
“What of Scarlett? Have you seen her this morning?” Phil asked.
“Yeah,,, She is here. She came 43 minutes ago”
“And she didn’t even bother to check up on me?” Phil asked.

“She looks busy” Oscar quickly spoke.
Phil rolled his eyes.
“Scarlett?Scarlett??” He called.
The door opened, and Scarlett entered.
Her desk counter was right close to his door.
“Good morning, sir. You called me”
Phil scoffed.
“What good about this morning, no,, tell me. You didn’t even check up on me this morning”
“I’m sorry about that. I was busy arranging the files I got on friday since I left on time”
“Yeah,,, Talking about friday,,, where the fu-ck did run to, without telling me?” He demanded.
“I’m sorry but it quite personal and also important too” Scarlett replied.
“Oh,,, I see. Well, you will see about that after you calculate all this” Phil said, and brou-ght a big book.
It was the calculation book.
“What’s that?” Scarlett asked, taking it.
Phil ignored her.
“Calculate every damn thing your eyes comes across there within an hour. I nee-d it for a shareholder meeting”
Scarlett sighed.
“There will be no problem”
“Go” Phil said, and she bowed before leaving.

“That’s my punishment for you, Scarlett. You’ll calculate everything there, which will definitely take 5 hours of your time” Phil whispered, with a shrill laugh.
Oscar glanced at Phil, who quickly cleared his throat loudly.
“Wait,,, Something is wrong though” Phil muttered.
“Why didn’t she ask of the fast method calculator?” He thought, quite surprised, and confused.
20 MINUTES LATER**
“The fu-ck!!” Phil wished he could shout but he managed to keep it in his throat.
His eyes traveled, as he kept rampaging on the leaves of the book.
“You…are actually done with this? Everything!” He gulped.
Scarlett smiled.
“Its a short cake for me. I’m really good in maths”
“Why didn’t you tell me!” He shouted.
“What?”
“No,,, I mean,,, you would have told me so that,,, I’ll be coming to you for help just in case” Phil smiled, for-cefully.
“Oh,,, I see. but there’s no problem. Call me when you nee-d my help in numbers” She wi-nked.
Phil ran his eyes around.
“I know how to get back at Beverly” He muttered.
Scarlett bowed lowly and was about to leave when Phil voice stopped her.
“Scarlett?” He called.
“Yes sir?” She answered and turned to me.
“Can you follow me home tonight?” He whispered.

“What? I mean,,, wae (why)?”
Oscar slowly looked at both of them.
“I want you to solve some mathematical problems for me” He whispered and Scarlett blinked, confusedly.
