"Ma, I think you are going too far in helping Jayson," Annie said to her mother. She doesn't know why but she is getting annoyed. "Huh? Why?" her mother asked. "We already let him stay here and now you'll let him go to school?" She asked. "How about the money my father worked so hard fo-" "NO, NO you've got that wrong. W-wha..." "She is not the one who let me study in school. Ma'am Trish did." Annie is speechless after hearing what Jayson said.

At that moment, I felt that my heart beats faster. I don't know what to say. I want to believe it because kids don't lie. "Kid, what happened? What is your name?" "Rey," Annie answered. "I was going to return the mop to the corner near the restroom when I hear a voice coming from the girls' restroom. It was locked. There was a padlock. So I use a pin to unlock it.
