On Monday morning

At 4.00 a.m. Mom woke me up. I opened my eyes and walked downstairs."Why you woke me up early?"I asked Mom. I saw Papa was sipping his coffee in the kitchen. He answered, "Ally, don't you remember today Mom and I will go to Helsinki?" Oh! I remembered it.'What!? So,so.. today... I'll stay with them for a week?'

"Honey, I hope you take care of yourself okay? And one more thing, show nice attitude with Dawson's family", my mom said while busying packed their luggage. Papa came towards her and said, "Oh,dear..our little princess know how to be polite with others", and winked his eyes towards me. I showed thumbs up to him. Then, we hugged each other.

We walked out of our house while my parent pulled their luggage.I saw Mr. Dawson and his wife came towards us."So, are you ready, Erick?"Mr. Dawson asked. Papa nodded his head.

Papa and mom walked to our car. Mom drove the car. Actually, Papa wanted to drive but Mom, you know too overprotective. She loves Papa too much. She wanted Papa to rest along their way to the airport.

Mr. and Mrs. Dawson and I waved our hands to my parent."Let go, Alice!" said Mrs. Dawson. I looked at her and surprisingly, Gerald was standing beside her.'When he stood at there?'

"Mmm..mm..aunty, can I sleep in my house today? Be..because I still in my pajama", I said. Yes, that time I was wearing pajama that had SpongeBob SquarePants design on there. Gerald smirked at me."Look, now is 5.15 a.m.Just sleep at my house. I don't want to forget to wake you up, okay?"Mrs. Dawson said. I nodded my head and walked with them to their house.

In Dawson's house

"Alice, this is your room. If you need anything just call us. Besides,Gerald's room is in front of your room. Now, just go to sleep okay?"Mr. Dawson said."Thank you, Mr. Dawson", I said. After that, Mr. Dawson and his wife left us.Us mean Gerald and I.I thought Gerald was unsatisfied with me because his face showed it. Before Gerald entered his room, he said to me, "Don't let anybody know about this!" Then, he closed his door.

I walked into my 'room for a week'.Wow!It was so nice. The bed sheet color is black and pearl. What can I say about this room is the room is full of black and pearl color.I looked at the watch beside the bed, it was 5.30 a.m.Oh, oh!! I needed to sleep now.

 Luckily, in my 'room for a week' has a bathroom and toilet. So, it'll be easy for me to have a bath. From the balcony, I can see the windows of the house which is next to Dawson's house. So, is that mean, Gerald can see my windows room?! Oh my! He might have seen or smelled the smoke! Actually, I burned my love letters, not letters from the boy, but my handwritten love letters that I want to give to Mark Anderson. I always burn the letter after I wrote it because I'm scared that Mom will find it.

The first day in Dawson's house was not too bad except that homosapien named Gerald Dawson! At 6 o' clock in the morning, I helped Mrs. Dawson to serve the breakfast. I helped her to spread the chocolate on the slices of bread. Mr. Dawson came towards us and then gave a kiss to his wife's cheeks while wishing 'Good Morning, Honey'. Aww... they are so sweet like Papa and Mom. I already miss them. Then, Gerald came into the kitchen and got near to me. But, he looked quite close to me and his face too. 'Oh, no! Don't say he wanted to do like his father to his mom', I prayed in my heart while closing my eyes. " Hey, my dear neighbor. Good morning!", he said. And his parent looked at us and Mrs. Dawson asked me, " Alice, are you okay?" I opened my eyes and saw Gerald already have a sit on a chair next to me. " I... I'm okay, Mrs. Dawson", I replied. On account of the table have four chairs, I have to sit next to Gerald. He was looking at me while saying, " This bread tastes nice, mummy!" "Thanks to Alice", Mrs. Dawson said while winked at me. My cheeks started to blush and my heart suddenly beat fast.

I walked to school while sang a song by Malaysian singer, Haqiem Rusli. I didn't know if my pronunciation is correct or not. But, then I felt someone pulled my bag. 'This must be the son of Mr. Dawson!' I thought. So, I turned around while said, " What's wrong with you, Gerald?" " Wow! I'm Gerald! Okay, goodbye then", said Mark. " M- Mark... do... don't misunderstand me. I... I thought you were Gerald", I stuttered. I never thought he will pull my bag and I never thought he wants to walk with me. He came near to me, and I put a smile on face. Oh, maybe he wanted to tease me. " Do you think I did not see that you just came out from Gerald's house?", he said and he walked away from me. " Mark, wait. I can explain! Actually, I have to stay at his house because...", my sentence was cut by his yelling, " I don't need your explanation, Alice Yong!" and he walked fastly to go to school.

I was shocked. He yelled at me. How could him? Suddenly, " Don't worry. I'll make sure he will not tell anyone about this", Gerald said while stood beside me and then he smiled to me just for three seconds. I looked at him and then said, " Please, leave me alone! I don't need anyone right now". After that, I walked away.

At school during lunch

" Ally, do you want to eat anything? I can buy it", said Marry. Cindy and Rikkard were eating fish and chips. I shook my head to replace the word 'no'. " Ally, are you okay? Are you not in the pink?" Rikkard asked. " I'm fine. Don't worry", I said. Cindy looked at me with her narrow eyes. " Hey, it looks like somebody is coming", she said.

" Rikkard can you move to in front?" Gerald asked. On that time, I was sitting between Rikkard and Cindy. Rikkard was sitting on my right. I looked to Gerald and said, " Who are you to give an order to him?" " Did I talk to you? Go, Rikkard. Sit in front of your Ally, now", Gerald said. Rikkard moved his sit to in front of me while gave his eyes signal to me like ' Don't fight with him. I'm fine'. Marry arrived at our table with her iced latte and her face was quite surprised. " Gerald, I think you have sat at a wrong place", Marry said after she looked at me, sat in an extremely uncomfortable position. " Nope. Son of Mr. Dawson never wrong", he said while opened his lunch box. 

" You can have some of this meatballs", Gerald said. " It's okay. Thank you", Cindy, Marry and Rikkard said. Then, Gerald looked at me. "Alice?" he asked. I ignored him. " Now, open your mouth Ally!" Gerald asked while trying to feed me with meatball. Cindy, Marry and Rikkard were shocked at that moment. I stood up and moved away from that place. About three steps, I saw Mark with Suzanne, Angel and Lucy were eating but Mark was the only one who looked at me. I just walked away from that place.

At Eira, Finland in Helsinki

"Mom, so... you want us, one family to stay in Berlin?" asked Erick to his mother, Mrs. Caroline Yong. " Yes, I think it is not a big problem to you", his mom answered. " You can manage our family company there. You're only my hope", his mom said again. Erick looked at Ashley and his wife just nodded while smiled. " I think it is better for us to move in Berlin. Besides, Ally can get another environment, I mean, good environment", Ashley said.
