"We have our art class today, right?"

"Yeah?" Madison answered, unsure why her friend suddenly asked that

"Give me your sketchbook and pencil." Sofia said "I'm going to draw Emma's face."

Her friends exchanged looks.

"What is happening to you, Sofia? You don't like any kind of arts. You always ditched our art class, remember?" Ruby wondered

"Do you want to know what Emma looks like or not?" Sofia is getting impatient towards her friends

Though they are correct that she's not into any kind arts but with Irene's memories, she'll try.

Ruby gave her drawing materials to her friend.

Sofia closed her eyes, trying to recall Emma's face.

"Emma, my Emma."

"I really need to find you." She mumbled

Her hands started to move like a pro, every lines and hatch are defined.

"Whoa, Sofia, you really know how to draw." Jessica said in amusement "Why are you crying, Sofia?"

Her friends were too focusing on her drawing that's why they didn't realize that Sofia is already crying for unknown reason.

"I need to find her; I'll go crazy if I didn't." She dropped the pencil as she finished the sketch "That's her."

"The... the exchange student."

"The teachers said that you can take all your time to recover, Sofia. You really don't need to go to school for now."

Sofia didn't listen to her brother. They haven't talked about the cheating matter since she got out from the hospital, it's either she'll pretend to be asleep or she'll ignore her brother every time Michael try to talk to her.

"What do you want us to do for you to listen to us?" Adeline is getting fed up from Sofia's behavior

"Bring daddy back. Can you do that for me? You can't, right? Now stop acting like..." She chose not to tell her resentments towards her mom "Emily will fetch me."

It's been a month after the incident; they just removed the cast in her arm yesterday making her decide to go back to school. It wasn't easy for her to stay at home knowing that she will attend the same school with Emma.

Her friends never missed a day reporting to her about Emma. She sometimes found herself smiling with the thought of seeing Emma every day.

"Let your brother to push your wheelchair to your classes." Adeline said

"No need, my friends will be there. I don't need him. I can use my crutches. Thank you for the breakfast."

Though her arm is already okay, her right leg hasn't recovered yet because of the severity of the injury.

She put her crutches under her arms and made her way to the living room to get her satchel bag.

"What is your problem, Sofia? If this is about Olivia then I will breakup with her." Michael followed his sister "Don't ruin this family just because your..."

"Stop being hypocrite! Don't ever lecture me about this family! Where was you when dad wad fighting for his life? Playing around with my ex-girlfriend? If you just listened to dad not to use the car maybe he's still alive!"

It's just seven in the morning but the Fryxell's residence is already making drama which Marco will surely hate if he's still alive.

"He's not my father don't blame me for his death."

Sofia slapped her brother "I know that he's not your real father! Is that the reason why you just let him die? I texted you that he's having a heart attack. I was calling you nonstop but you ignored my calls!"

"You two, stop! I swear if you didn't stop I will leave you with no..."

"Go! That's where you're good at, right? Living us?" Sofia wiped her tears "I don't care if you leave; there's nothing new with that."

Adeline was about to say something when someone knocked on the front door.

"That's Emily. We'll look for a house after school; don't expect me to come home early." She left her family and opened the door "Good morning, Emily." She faked a smile

Her friend looked at her like saying she knew that it was a fake smile. She closed the door "I guessed you heard everything."

Emily took the satchel bag from her shoulder as they walked through the pathway "Are you really blaming your brother for your father's death?"

"You heard everything, Ems. Do I need to repeat it?"

Emily opened the car door for her "Michael has nothing to do with Marco's death, Sofia. It was a heart attack."

She slowly got inside the car, gave her crutches to Emily and waited for her companion to get inside too "I could have save dad's life if he didn't use the car."

She opened the backseat door and placed Sofia's crutches and their bags inside and went to the driver seat "But you said that when you saw Marco he was already dead. Maybe you're just looking for someone to blame for your father's death." She inserted the key to it's rightful place and started the ignition

Emily's last statement made Sofia's mouth shut. She was right; she can't accept her father's death that is why she's finding someone to blame.

They reached the school without uttering a word. It was Emily who got out first to get Sofia's crutches and gave it to her.

"I'm sorry for what I said earlier, it wasn't my intention to..."

"You're right, I'm just looking for someone to blame."

"Welcome back, Sofia."

"Hi, Sofia, nice to see you again."

The students greeted Sofia. Sofia and her friends are one of the popular kids in their school. There are different kinds of popular kids in their school, the varsities, the smartest and the It girls. Oh, you're asking about Sofia's group? It consists of varsities, smart kids and It girls; it means they are the bombs of their school.

"I hope we are cool, I really can't stand not talking to you."

The students kept on looking at them as they make their way to their lockers.

"We're cool, Ems. You know that I can't be mad at you or else I would be stock with the three idiots."

"And I guess you're referring to us." Someone spoke behind them

"You got it right." Sofia winked at Madison

"Why do you always call us the three idiots?" Ruby complained

Emily and Sofia just laughed.

They reached their lockers while they continued to chat about things that Sofia missed in school.

"And there goes the girl of your fantasy." Jessica spoke looking at a certain lady

Sofia's surrounding vanished like a bubble and the only person that she can see is Emma. It was her first time to see Emma in person. Finally, she found her.
