Chương 9: Chapter 8

Camellia was so full of energy that week. These is because her birthday just around the corner to be exact in three days. Just the end of the week and it falls on weekend. She will get to spend the whole day with her parents as usually they will take a day off from work. They will celebrate her birthday with full of surprise like foods and presents.

She never care whether the present a cheap one, all she know she will treasure them with all her heart. Be a note book or a box of pencil. Even just a piece of scrunchy. It's just so convenient for her to tie her hair just like the one she always use. It's from two years ago.

"Woah… why are you so shining and sparkling today, Lia? It almost make my poor eyes go blind. Where are all the smile and joy come from?" teased Jessica while covering her eyes. The action and overly dramatic statement make Camellia laugh out loud. It was a music to everyone ears.

"Hahaha… Of course I am happy. I'm excited for the weekend. My birthday is coming soon. I get so excited to celebrate it. I plan to bring my parents to a picnic near the waterfall up the mountain. It will be a perfect place to tell them my surprise."

"Oh. Yeah… now I remember about it. Anyway, what surprise do you mean? Do you want to get marry at the end of the high school?"

"NO. What rubbish are you talking about? I don't want to tell you before my parents. It's a surprise for them, not for you. You will never success dig it from me. I will keep it to myself till then. Humph."

"I will make you spill it out today. I bet I will get it." Said Jessica.

"Huh. You bet. Good luck then." Was all Camellia reply smirked. The surprise is that she found a way to reduce their burden for her university life. "Anyway, Jess on what should we bet on? I want a reason to win this bet. After all I will win this." Then make a funny face to her friend who almost fumed.

She might get an offer for a scholarship from a university. These all thanks to her good grades she get for all her exam. And of course she need to maintain and improve her marks in the exam to nail the scholarship. With these her main goal now was to study hard and smart at the same time. She will make sure that she will get it.

In another means, they, her parents doesn't need to work so hard on reaching their aim for her study funds. They can reduce their workload and stop working so hard that give too much burden to their old body.

Camellia wonder to herself why doesn't she think of that way. She herself know she is really naïve that she never take consideration on using scholarship for her study. If she think of this way earlier her parent will not get anxious on getting enough money for her study too much.

"Urghh… What a useless brain. Always solve problem with hard way. Why don't I think in a simpler way?" Thought Camellia to herself while knocking on her forehead softly a few times to get a grip of herself.

Soon enough the girls arrived at the school. They into the class and everything there even the situation is really never change. The chaotic atmosphere create by the naughty boy, the disorder table as if being struck by typhoon. It really gives ones headache. No words suitable enough to describe them.

Anyway Camellia only think about her study. She need to take every lesson seriously. For herself, for her parents and for the sake of knowledge itself. Education is really important as knowledge is a powerful weapon in every situation. She want to enjoy learning the new things her life. To do so, she have to aim higher everytime.

At school, Camellia attend her first class of the day merrily as it is Science class. After do some experiment during last week class, they were going to learn a new topic in which about anatomy and diseases. She really looking forward to the chapter ever since the start of the new school year. She want to understand better regardless she already learning and reading about it from the pharmacist in the town.

From the help, Camellia get more idea on how to treat and cure certain diseases. She can cure people and animals through medicinal herbs, massage and acupuncture. The only thing that get in the middle between her and being a healer is license. And she aim to get it with the help getting herself into university and get the licence sooner. That way nothing will be an obstacle anymore. Camellia want to give all her focus in the class, so she give a warning to Jessica to not disturb her during the class session.

Relationship? Things like that never in her mind and she has no attention to get herself involved in any. Camellia know that a few boys in her class have a crush on her but she always put them in a friendzone and never take the one to pursue her seriously. Just be their friend is better. She can help them whenever they need. Sometimes Jessica always question her about her sexual attraction stand when a handsome senior from a well off family try to woo her but get instant rejection.

For her the first priority in her life for now is her parents. Maybe forever. Camellia never dream her life without her parents at her back giving their fullest support on everything she want to pursue and wants. Her life will never turn dull as long as her parents happy and by her side.

To increase her marks in a few subject she not excellent at, Camellia make an extra effort to search revision books with a little help from the old librarian suggestion and she make sure to discuss all her problem in those subject with the respective teacher. With a high hope she will get better marks in the next examination.
