Wallace: I'm really happy to see you! Rosalia. It's been so long and yet here we are, and all grown up

Rosalia: I'm happy to see you too, but I'm really sorry that I forgot about you.

Wallace smiled touching his head.

Wallace: That's okay! Though we have finally managed to see each other again. It looks like you're finally in another country,

Rosalia and Wallace walked around saying they were talking to each other, talking about their experiences, and their memories as kids. They kept chatting and laughing, as if they were finally got meet each other for so long. Rosalia and Wallace were friends since first grade, they could've remembered another friend in their group. Wallace also talked about his little sister Candice, who also travels along with Wallace,

Rosalia noticed that it was almost dusk, she told Wallace that she was going home for now.

Rosalia: Hey, Wallace. I'm going for now, let's talk some other time.

Wallace: Oh, Okay. I'm going home, too! I bet my sister is waiting for me. I'll see ya, tomorrow!

Rosalia : See you, tomorrow,

As rosalia went back to her apartment, she recalled all the memories of Wallace as a child. She didn't expect to see each other, but the thing is she's finally had someone to talk to except "the nature freak" Rosalia kept walking as she finally got home. She opened the door, and she could hear someone talking with Mrs. Mary. When rosalia came to see who was talking with her, it was Matthew chatting with Mrs. Mary. When Matthew looked at Rosalia , he was shocked to see her again.

Rosalia : Uhhh... I thought... I heard someone talking.

Matthew was just sitting there and cannot move a muscle, As Mrs. Mary asked him

Mrs. Mary: Matt? Do you know each other? You and rosalia? Matthew: Uhh no... We definitely have not met before. ("Matthew smiled awkwardly")

Rosalia: Liar... We have already not since I came here.

Mrs. Mary: Ohh! So you two know each other, Matthew shouldn't lie about your new friend,

Matthew: Sorry... Aunty.

Rosalia: ("in her mind") "So that means, the guy who brought back my purse was him!? There were family!?*

Matthew and Mrs, Mary looked at Rosalia, as she realized that both of them are family relatives. She stood there as she smiled awkwardly at Matthew.

Rosalia: So?? Are you two blood related?

Mrs. Mary: Yes... I treat Matthew like a little child, and now he's grown into a handsome man, He's one of my nephews, since my sister is his mother and she gave birth to him.... I am his old aunty, Matthew was my favorite... he's kind but he's quite prickly.

Rosalia: ("mumbles*) Oh... how fortunate of him....

Mrs. Mary: I should go and get some more tea, I'll be right back, Keep on talking to each other now.

Rosalia sat down with Matthew, as both of them sat quietly together. Rosalia was looking down and thinking about something, as Matthew looked at her. He notices Rosalia's eyes were sparkling as if she was about to cry, he thought of a certain topic that maybe she'd forget something that she's thinking about,

Matthew Hey, uhh... about that time... uhhh... Sorry for being so prickly of me... I wasn't familiar with other women even though I was good at teasing them.

Rosalia: Please... don't bring that topic up. I don't like men teasing me or other women,

Matthew Hm, Just as I thought... You're kinda more mature than I thought... You looked like a teenager to me,

Rosalia: Huh? I am always mature. Why are you starting to get...talkative? or maybe that's actually the wrong word for that,

Matthew: Pfft. Hahaha, A wrong word? Eh? Talk about that. It looks like I've caught your attention... Anyway... How old are ya?

Rosalia: Uhh... huh? You're jumping into conclusions and now you know my age is?

Matthew Come on, it's a warm up just we can get to know each other.

Rosalia : I'm 24.I'm Rosalia

Matthew : Oh, You're quite young, Rosalia, You already heard my name countless times even though we never got to introduce ourselves. I'm Matthew,

Rosalia : So? Are you older than me or?...

Matthew : Just two years older than you

Rosalia stared at Matthew, he was smiling at her, Both of them talked a lot about themselves, Mrs. Mary saw that Rosalia and Matthew had finally had their very beginning of their friendship.

When it was late at night, the tea party was over after some time. Mrs. Mary went to sleep and Matthew was going to head back to his house. Rosalia told Matthew. They were outside and Matthew was about to leave.

Rosalia: Umm... Matthew.

Matthew: Hmm?

Rosalia: Uhh... Thank you for bringing my purse back,

Matthew: Uh....

Rosalia: I already know it was you who picked it up and told Mrs. Mary was an unknown person.

Matthew: Hahaha... I guess cats are out of the bag now. Let's see each other again. If you want a book, just go to the book shop. Let's meet up tomorrow, okay?

Rosalia: Um... Okay... See you tomorrow.

Matthew: See you.

The Next Day... 

Rosalia was walking around in the streets, and noticed Wallace and his sister Candice in the distance. She went close to them, as Wallace noticed Rosalia walking towards them. He waved at Rosalia,

Wallace: Good Morning, Rosalia

Rosalia: Good morning,

Wallace: Let's go somewhere else, Anyway how was your first week in this place?

Rosalia: Umm, Quite good and exciting actually,

Wallace: Yeah, It's cool. Right? I've been to every town in this country and I also went to some of these historical places

Candice: Wallace, why did you bring a woman with us? Isn't she a stranger? Or she must be your first girlfriend huh?

Wallace Huh!? Candice! Where did you even learn those words. She's not my girlfriend, she's actually my best friend since we were kids.

Candice: You're literally in your proper age right now, Get a girlfriend already!

Wallace: Sis, I don't anytime for that, kind of stuff.

Rosalia just laughs as she just listens to their little sibling conversation. When Rosalia was looking forward, she saw a man taking pictures and it was Matthew taking photos of the place, He turned back, as he saw Rosalia with a friend. He walked towards her as Wallace looked at him.

Matthew: Good morning, Rosalia, I was waiting for you to come in the book store but never came, but I see that you're busy talking to a friend of yours.

Wallace looked at Matthew, his sister was a bit curious about the man. They don't know who he is, but he is also a friend of Rosalia, As they both stared with such an expression on their face. Will they be able become friends or rivals? Then their thoughts will have a third wheel.
