"Don't let your dreams be dreams."–Jack Johnson
*********
It's been a month since Jessy came home but there has been no information about her... they have been no information on Jessy's parents... They got worried in the first and second weeks and constantly called the police station due to Jessy crying but they couldn't blame the poor girl who couldn't bear to be apart from her parents but she gradually got used to them
"Bwoda Awex I want icecream," Jessy said immediately after Alex came back from school... Alex always got her ice cream whenever he came back from school but today he didn't get her ice cream which made Jessy stick to him like a leach
"Bwoda Awex I said I want icecream" Jessy repeated
"the ice cream store is closed now Jessy I can't get you ice cream" Alex scolded tired of her constant talking which made Jessy's Face turn sour immediately... She looks at her feet pitifully with tears almost falling from her eyes
Alex saw her pitiful expression and tried to comfort her when they heard Xavier's loud voice from the door
"Jessy look what I got on my way back" Xavier said running toward them with chocolate in his hands
"chocolates!" Jessy exclaimed in happiness making Alex look at the girl whose emotion just had a 360-degree turn
"Bwoda Xabier got me chocolates," Emma said excitedly and Xavier looked at the happy girl with a satisfied smile
He had been trying too hard to get her attention but she always ended up following Alex which made him sad... But he was happy that he was the reason for her smile now
"thank you Bwoda Xabia," Jessy said opening the chocolate immediately
"you're welcome Jessy...come let's go play games in my room" Xavier said and led Jessy towards his room
Alex who was watching everything unfold before his eyes had a grim look on his face
Since she arrived he had always been the one who made her smile more and seeing her smile because of Xavier made him a little jealous
After a while of standing rooted to the ground he proceeded to his room
At night everyone was present in the house... The couple sat on the sofa watching an Asian drama...
Treasure and Gift talked about Gift's new crush
Alex sat at the end of the sofa reading a book while Xavier sat with Light and Jessy who were watching a cartoon on Treasure's laptop
Everyone was in groups doing one thing or the other and the house felt lively... You could hear Claras giggle once in a while
"Why must you always change your crush every week... Just last week you were telling me how much you liked Jace and now you're telling me that you like Max... girl you should change your ways and why do you always have to crush on my classmates can't you crush on yours "Treasure said to Gift who had a shy grin on her face
"don't judge me sister and besides what can I do I can't control my feelings " Gift defended
"your classmates must know you as the crusher of all men by now because you make it so obvious that you like them," Treasure said
"lies.... I don't do that" Gift said
"yes you do"
"no, I don't "
"yes, you..."
"you guys should bring down your voices dad wants to answer a call" Alex said and the duo shut their mouths immediately before Raymond picked up his ringing phone
" good evening Mr smith..." the person greeted
"hmmm"
"Have you gotten information on what I asked for," Raymond said
"Yes sir the principal said she can resume on Monday since they were still at the beginning of the semester and haven't done much," the person said from the other line
"ok yes I understand" Raymond said at the end of the call
"so has it been decided" Clara asked
"yes " Raymond replied and paused the movie
"ok... Gather around kids I have an announcement to make" Raymond declared getting the attention of everyone
Immediately they heard their dad they gathered to listen to the announcement
"your mum and I have decided that Jessy is gonna resume school with Xavier and Light next week" Raymond announced
"Really Dad?" Light asked in excitement
"yes dear so from next week Monday, you guys have to go to school together" Clara replied with a smile
"did you hear that Jessy you're gonna go to school with us on Monday, "Light said tugging Jessy whose eyes were still on the cartoon playing on the Laptop
"school?" Jessy asked
"Yes, Jessy... The school we will come back together in the school bus " Xavier said
"is that where we get so many ice cream and chocolates" Jessy asked turning her head to the side in confusion making everyone burst into laughter due to her cute expression
"school isn't all about ice cream and chocolates Jessy we go there to read, write and learn" Alex explained
"ok," Jessy replied with a smile before her concentration went back to the laptop... She left the gathering and walked straight to the laptop as if she was being drawn towards it and it was the only thing that existed.... Everyone watched her as she sat down watching the cartoon so intently and would giggle whenever something funny was said or done
They looked at her adorable expression in amusement and smiled
"I think she would be a very fast learner," Clara said after Everyone went back to their various discussion
"of course... She is a very smart child" Raymond replied
The next morning everyone left for school and Raymond went to the company to attend to some matters which needed his attention
Jessy was left at home with Clara just like every other day...
"do you want to help me make vegetable sauce Jessy" Clara asked squatting down to Jessys height
"yeshh... " Jessy said with excitement filling her voice
"That's great then... Let's go to the grocery store and get vegetables" Clara said receiving a nod from Jessy... Clara dressed Jessy up and they left for the grocery store
