"Vida! Vida!" her mother called her twice. "It's time to wake up, honey, and prepare for school."
"Just ten more minutes, please," Vida begged sleepily.
But her mother refused and dragged her out of the bed. Vida hurried to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, took her shower, came out, and quickly dressed up for school. When she stepped out of her room, she said, "Mom, I'm ready."
Her mother asked her to come and have breakfast, but Vida said she was already late and had to leave. Her mother gave her a cold glance, and Vida quietly sat at the dining table. Her mother served her the rice from the previous night.
Vida Martins was from an average family. It was just her and her mother. She lost her dad when she was little, and ever since then, her mother had tried her very best to train and raise her alone. Her mother's name was Clara Martins. She worked at a local firm as a cashier.
"Mom, I'm done and I'm leaving!" Vida screamed after finishing her meal.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" her mother asked.
Vida quickly rushed back, kissed her mother on the cheek, and then ran out of the house.
On her way to school, she saw Lucas Max, her boyfriend, and happily called out to him. But he ignored her, acting like he did not hear his name. He was busy discussing with his friend, Raymond Castle, while both of them laughed loudly.
"Maybe he didn't hear me," Vida said to herself.
As she kept watching, she noticed Lucas taking another road that did not lead to school. She wondered where he was going and quietly sneaked behind them.
Soon, she saw Raymond talking to a girl as Lucas joined in their conversation. The three of them then headed toward a motel. But before doing so, they changed into completely different outfits.
When they got to the motel, they paid for a room and entered inside. Vida tried to follow them, but security stopped her because students were not allowed in.
Vida turned back and went to school. While in class, she could not concentrate. She kept wondering what her boyfriend would be doing in a motel at that time of the day instead of being in school.
Inside the motel, the girl sat down on the bed, and Raymond sat close to her.
"I hope you know why we are here, beautiful," Raymond said.
She smiled and replied, "Yes," but her eyes were fixed on Lucas.
Raymond laughed and told her not to worry, that it would only be the two of them, because Lucas had no place there. Then he jokingly asked if Lucas should leave the room.
"Mira," which was the girl's name, stood up and slowly walked toward Lucas. She unbuttoned his shirt, pushed him onto the bed, and said, "Lucas, right?"
He nodded nervously. "Yes."
"Is this your first time?" she asked with a smirk.
"No," he stuttered.
Mira laughed softly. "Then why do you look so afraid?"
