Chapter 1
    Save That Day

 
 
      The day had been September 16 th 2009.
    Save that day.
      She was merely a girl of only 18 years of
age, fashioned a short bob and clad her black-framed glasses. She wore a white
shirt with a plaited grey skirt and strapped a brown sling bag over her.
      It had all begun with her
pair of white school shoes.
      Not that they were really
white though, more of stained with a greyish tint of dirt and moss.
      Adelie Claire had been walking around in her pair of shoes for the past few days,
ignoring the holes that had formed on them from wear and tear.
      Then, they finally reduced
to rags today and she found that she could hardly walk around in them no more.
      She had not known of what
to do. She would never tell her parents about buying a new pair. She was from a
poor family. Her father had been jobless for the last quarter of the year. Her
mother was a housewife, doing some sewing embroidery at home to make ends meet.
Yet, it was never enough. They had given her some pocket month to last for the
month and to buy school shoes or stationary if needed, but she had spent them
all on food and games. Shoes were expensive at the village. She wished she
hadn’t wasted all her money away.
      Adelie walked with a stiff gait in her broken shoes back to her house, straight after
school. She carried her shoes into her room, placed them in a box, and then
begun crying to her pillow.
      It had been a humid
afternoon that day where the suns’ rays beat into her room.

 
      Just then, she heard a faint tapping on her rusty blue window. Adelie stopped sobbing, and peered curiously at the
window.
      There was a pale yellow
envelope on her window ledge. Abbie blinked. Who had
left the envelope there? She leaned her head out of the window, and peered
around. No one.
      She took the envelope from
her window ledge and stared at it.
      It had a yellowish tint and
appeared to be a little musty. She wondered if she should open it, since she didn’t
know who that letter was addressed to.
      She flipped to the back of
the envelope and was stunned to see that it seemed to have been addressed to
her.
      Adelie slowly opened the envelope, and with a churning stomach, she began reading the
letter.
     
    “ To Junior,
    I end at 12pm everyday .
Since you start at 1pm, I can lend them to you before school starts.
    Your Senior”

 
      She felt a warm sensation in
her throat. Who had written that for her? Who had been so kind to want to go
the extra mile? She also felt something warm in her heart. Like a fuzzy kind of
sensation. The gesture had been so kind. The person must had been a very kind person who was also very observant to notice that she had
needed help. Adelie couldn’t help but wonder who that
person had been.
      The next morning had arrived.
The air was crisp and fresh! She had already got dressed. She was all ready to
get to school. She wondered if the kind person would actually remember and come
at all. The time then was 12:20.
      Adelie was feeling a little nervous and excited at the same time. Meeting a stranger
who offered a kind deed was slightly nerve-wrecking. Who could the stranger had
been?
      Then, she heard a bicycle
ring from afar. That jolted her back to her senses, There were the sounds of a bicycle moving along the dirt track, towards the
direction of her window.
      She sat on her bed and
waited, feeling a little shy.
      Again, there was the gentle
knocking on her window.
      She stood up and she
approached her window.
      An older boy stood before
her. He looked to be around 19-20 years old. He had light brown hair,
almond-eyes and some freckles. He was clad in a dark green uniform. She had
recognized it. It was the uniform from the school not far away from hers.
      “Hi, I am Danny. You can
have my shoes. I will come everyday”
    Danny said as he took off
his shoes, wore his sandals instead which he had brought along, and handed his
shoes over to Adelie .
    “ Hi I
