*In the resort's lobby*

Courtney, Noah, and Dylan were sitting on the couches.

Courtney: "This girl never comes in time."

Noah: "Let's go to her room."

Dylan "No need to go, our glam is over there."

Priscilla appeared in the lobby.

Noah, Dylan, and Courtney looked at Priscilla.

Noah: "Why did you get late, girl?"

Priscilla: "I was getting ready. Oh by the way where are we going?"

Dylan: "It's been a long while since we eat the street food and had fun in the crowded public place."

Priscilla: "So what?"

Noah stood up and said, "Let's go otherwise we'll get late."

They headed to the food market.

Courtney, Noah, and Dylan were sitting at the dining table that was allocated on the side of the small food stall. Courtney and Priscilla brought spicy food from the stall.

Noah and Dylan looked at each other and then they looked at the plate.

Noah: "Wow, sisters! You both want us to eat this. I hope this food to not be so spicy."

Priscilla: "Brothers! Cortney and I bet you both to eat this spicy food."

Dylan: "What if we finish that food?"

Priscilla: "We'll be glad."

Dylan and Noah: "Okay."

They both looked at each other and started to eat that food. But that food was very spicy.

They started to cough and tears popped out of their reddish eyes.

Priscilla and Courtney hurriedly headed to the retail shop.

When they (Courtney and Priscilla) were standing at the counter for the billing process, three girls approximately sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing school uniforms appeared and stood on the counter.

A seller looked at those girls with anger and said, "I am not giving you anything, get out of here."

Priscilla and Courtney looked at those girls and the seller.

A girl who was standing in the front made an innocent face and mumbled, "Please. We just want three pieces."

A seller looked at the corridor of the shop and shouted, "There is your way otherwise I'll call the police."

Another girl: "Please uncle."

Seller: "No, you girls better know that it's illegal for you to smoke at this age but why don't you understand."

Priscilla interrupted and raised a question, "Brother, how many cigarettes do you have?"

The seller, "Do you want to buy cigarettes?"

Priscilla: "Yes. All the cigarettes from your shop."

Seller: "But.. Mam, you seem like an innocent girl, why do you want all of the sudden?"

Priscilla: "No you are wrong, I am a very bad girl. I want to buy all the cigarettes that you have."

Seller: "Do you have the money to pay?"

Priscilla: "That's why I am buying otherwise I wouldn't buy anything."

Courtney was silent and shocked.

Priscilla was wearing the mask so that no one could remember her.

Priscilla bought all the cigarettes.

Those girls were furiously looking at Priscilla.

When Priscilla stepped out of the shop while carrying two heavy plastic bags full of cigarette boxes, everyone stare at her with a suspicious glance but she (Priscilla) didn't care.

Courtney: "Prissy everyone is glancing at you."

Priscilla: "Yes I know."

Courtney: "Oh my God. What are you doing girl?"

Priscilla: "I am doing my best."

Courtney: "You have bought all the cigarettes and now you are saying you are doing your best? What is best in this case? Even I am seeing something worst."

Priscilla stopped near the table where Noah and Dylan were sitting.

Priscilla: "You have to wait until you find out the conclusion."

Dylan: "Are these cigarettes?"

Courtney: "Are you guys not thirsty now?"

Noah: "You were late so we bought the bottles by ourselves."

Priscilla: "Good."

Noah: "Are these cigarettes?"

Priscilla looked at the plastic bags that she was carrying.

Priscilla: "So what do you think what are these?"

Dylan: "That's what I asked earlier because I was shocked. I mean why are you taking so many cigarettes for yourself? By any chance, Are you opening the bar or a club?"

Priscilla: "Cut the crab. Have you guys eaten?"

Noah: "Yes."

Priscilla: "Okay then let's go."

Courtney: "Where?"

Priscilla: "Well, I bought these cigarettes so I have to get rid of these cigarettes."

Courtney: "What?"

Priscilla chuckled a bit and replied: "Let's go."

They went to the place under the bridge.

They burnt all the cigarettes.

Priscilla took four cigarettes with her.

When Priscilla was standing and seeing the burnt cigarettes, she noticed someone secretly looking at her.

She turned but she ignored that.

Noah: "You mean you wanted those girls not to ask for the cigarettes from that seller ever again."

Courtney: "Priscilla You are insane."

Dylan: "A completely retarded girl."

Priscilla made a poker face and looked at them (Noah, Dylan, and Courtney), and said, "Have you guys said everything?"

Priscilla turned behind and stepped back.

Dylan asked, "Where are you going?"

Priscilla: "You guys wait for me, I'll be right back to you."

After saying that Priscilla went to the street from the backside.

Those three girls were secretly peeking at the burnt cigarettes.

A girl said, "Oh this lady is such a damn bitch."

Priscilla: "Thank you."

Those girls startled and turned back to look at Priscilla with their pale facial expressions.

Priscilla was wearing the face mask. Noah was standing behind Priscilla.

A girl: "Why did you do that?"

Priscilla: "I liked doing that."

A girl: "What the hell."

Priscilla: "I hate smoking."

Another girl: "Then why did you buy those cigarettes and waste your money?"

Priscilla: "Because I want to save you all."

A girl: "Saving? Huh... I think you are just trying to show off your money."

Priscilla shrank her eyebrows and raised a suspicion, "If I am right, today is Sunday and you girls are still wearing school uniforms. Did you all kicked out of your homes?"

A girl: "It's none of your business."

Priscilla: "You are right. But I was just suspicious by the way sorry for being personal.."

Priscilla pulled out three cigarettes from her jacket's pocket.

She (Priscilla) offered those cigarettes to the girls.

Those girls looked at each other.

Priscilla: "Don't be hesitant, come on. Let's smoke together."

A girl: "But these are only three."

Priscilla took a deep breath while nodding her head as yes and pulled another cigarette from her jacket's pocket.

Those girls clenched the cigarettes from Priscilla's hand.

A girl: "But we don't have a lighter or a matchbox."

Priscilla looked at Noah and said, "Do you have a lighter?"

{Noah was also wearing a face mask.}

Noah gave the lighter to Priscilla.

Priscilla offered the lighter to those three girls.

Those girls used the lighter to burn the cigarettes from the top and then gave that lighter back to Priscilla.

Priscilla removed her face mask and gripped the cigarette in her mouth, she started smoking.

A girl was shocked by looking at Priscilla, she signed her friends (other two girls) to look at Priscilla.

All those girls became shocked.

Priscilla looked at those girls and raised a question: "Have you girls seen a ghost?"

    One girl coughed a little and expressed a fake smile while saying, "Mam, I am your biggest fan."Priscilla chuckled a bit and responded: "Wow!

I am here to convince you and tell you something that you don’t know but you should know."Mrs. Joyce: "I am listening, what is it?”Priscilla: “Let me share a secret story with you. There was a girl, who always wanted to become an artist. She always enjoyed fulfilling her dreams. She lived with her parents, they were doctors and they loved her so much. But unfortunately, they wanted her to become a successful doctor like them. She fought for her dreams, but they forcefully made her a doctor, she took top positions in every medical exam. On the day of her first surgery, they proudly put their courage on her and she started performing the surgery. As I told you she wasn’t interested in becoming a doctor, guess what happened after that.”
