Eliza's POV
I only slept for 4 hours.I can't sleep anymore. I bathed and get dressed to go to register office. I took my motor bike and drove to register office. My phone started ringing so i stopped my bike and took the call after taking off my helmet. It was Claire. "Hello?" I asked
[Good luck, Eliza]
"Thank you, i thought you're at school " i said.
[Yes, i am at school. But.. I missed you]he said
"Done?" I asked annoyed
[No.. No... James is still not recovered even after 5 days] he said and chuckled.
"You are a sadist when it comes to him" i commented
[Yes. So what? I have the right] he said.
"Whatever" i commented again
[Eliza...] He called my name like a kid who is asking his mom to buy a candy. "Huh?" I replied
[Can i come with-] "No " he was cut off by me. "Stay at school. I am not going to leave the earth today. Be good. Go and study " i sermoned him. [Fiiiiinnnneee]he moaned. "Bye" i said and ended the call.
I drove again.
My landlord was waiting for me at register office.
"Thankyou, kid. For helping me"my landlord said to me. I just smiled at him. Registrar arranged every papers. We both signed the papers and i handed him the money he asked for.
"All done now, congratulations ms. Eliza " registrar said. He was a nice person actually. All smiling and welcoming. I approached my bike. I got a message from that new york number again. I am not ready to call her mom yet. But i saved it as Elza.
From:Elza
Eliza, please Mommy want to see you. Take care of yourself. Don't work overnight please. Please stay healthy.
I am coming to see you soon. I booked my ticket.
I didn't reply her. A tear fell from my eye but i quickly wiped it. I was about to get on the bike but someone called me from behind."Hey miss" I put the file in the bag of my bike and turned to look at the speaker. He was taller than me . He looks like a teenager. He ran towards me. "You're Eliza Rose Reynolds, right?" He asked me and i nodded. "You really look gorgeous" he said. Did he call me to say this? "What do you want?" I asked him."uh.... I am Victor marco" he said. I just nodded. "We are at the same school" he said. "Then... How did you know my real name?" I asked suspiciously. "I am new too, in school register your name is already changed. They told me to talk with you for better grades" he explained. "How did you recognize me then?" I asked again. "I heard them calling your name" he said. I nodded then said "Sorry, i am not tutoring anyone ". His face fell."Please help me just at school is enough" he pleaded and joined his palms. "Okay fine" i agreed and his face lit up. "Thankyou Eliza. Let's meet at school " he said with a smile. I nodded then started my bike.
I drove home after buying some groceries. Technically saying i am broke now. I need to make more money.
I stepped on my new home. This time i felt different. A satisfactory of asset wash over me. I started to work again. I got a email from the company i am working for.

Why did it say my real name? I forgot to change it. How did they know that i am Eliza Rose Reynolds? And... This email is not formal.
I am not wiping the fact that i got a hike. But the doubts i have is not negligible. Is it... Claire? He know this company? And he asked for this? Or is this fake?
I checked the email a few more time. It's official. My doorbell rang. I walked toward my door and opened it. A post man? How do i have a post? Who know my address?
I signed the book which the postman gave me and looked at the letter in my hand.
I looked at the column for from address but it was empty. I turned the letter to see if there is any other details. It only had my name and address. I suspiciously opened it. It was someone's photo.
I took it and looked closer. It was a man's photo.He look young. Wearing a very formal attire. He has hazel almond eyes. A full cheek and a charming smile. Who is he?
This is so frustrating. I put aside the photo.It doesn't even have a name. Why is it addressed to me? Another problem?
I decided to work again. This time i worked for 3 hours and guess what i got. 60000.The money i worked hard for just in 3 hours. I cooked some food for me. I decided to renovate my home. Building 2 more rooms, a new kitchen, CR, Gate, a living room, a small library.Then glass windows and a good door.
Now i can earn more money. I am not broke anymore.
My doorbell rang again. Now i can guess who it is. Claire. I opened the door. He had a bouquet of tulips in his hands and he was smiling. "Eliza " he shouted with a big smile. I laughed at his behavior and let him in "come in". He handed me the bouquet he brought. I don't really like flowers but i didn't refuse his gift. I think now i like flowers, i mean tulips. I don't have a flower vase so i just put them in a glass jar."Where is my treat?" He asked while i was arranging the glass jar. "What do you want?" I asked softly.
