You came along just like a song, and brighten my day. [Barry Manillow – Can’t Smile without You]   Tiffany looked at the sprout that grew ten centimeters. This was the fourth day, and those sprouts grew really well. Tiffany was in awe looking at it. In fact she wasn’t the one who planted it.   “Come on, grow faster,” she hummed full of hope. She then caressed the other vase. “You too guys!”   From behind, Jessica looked at her with smiled on her face. For these few days, Tiffany was beyond happy. Planted green bean and saw it grew really became a new experience to her. All this time, she never paid attention to any experiments and gave it to Jessica, mainly when they had to cut a fish and a frog.   “Jessi, where’s yours?” asked Tiffany, brought Jessica back to the reality.   “Near the class,” answered Jessica while smiled to some juniors that just passed by.   They were in the garden in front of the library, a place where Taeyeon decided to put the vases. Tiffany haven’t been here before, so she felt kinda fascinated when she saw school garden which full of pharmacy plants and some species of birds.   Tiffany hooked her hand around Jessica’s arm. “Let’s take a look yours.”   Jessica nodded, and then started to walk with Tiffany. They had just walked few meters, Taeyeon came from other corridor. Her eyes looked at Jessica and Tiffany with full of hate. Jessica hated her too since the incident in the lab few days ago. Jessica didn’t like the way she flicked Tiffany’s forehead, like she was saying that Tiffany is dumb. Tiffany might not realize it; but Jessica won’t ever tell her.   Tiffany more interested with the book held by Taeyeon. “Ten centimeters!” She exclaimed, made Taeyeon and Jessica frowned together. Tiffany pointed to Taeyeon’s book. “You wanna write the growth, aren’t you? I just looked it, 10 centimeters!”   Taeyeon looked at her in doubt. “Thanks. But I want to measure it by myself.”   Jessica quickly held Taeyeon who was about to walk pass them. “Didn’t you hear? She counted it. Is it necessary to count it again by yourself?”   While sighed, Taeyeon looked at Tiffany who seemed confused. “I don’t see her bring any ruler. I want exact size.”   After she pushed away Jessica’s hand, Taeyeon continued walking to the sprout vases. Jessica looked at her resentfully, forgot that Tiffany was beside her.   “Are you okay?” asked Jessica, afraid that her heart might hurt because of what Taeyeon has said.   “I’m okay. Yesterday she said, I can’t interfere this experiment. It was my fault,” she said, not offended at all. “Let’s look your sprouts!”   Jessica nodded.   ===   Tiffany looked at her truffle skirt sketch in her book, and then smiled in content. In her spare time, only three things that she liked to do: watching Disney channel, playing games and making clothes designs. Tiffany grew by watching her mom designing clothes. When she was seven, Tiffany could imitate her mom’s design. Now, when her mom passed away, Tiffany only made designs that pass through her mind at the time, even though not as glamour and as unique as her mom’s art, Tiffany had praised by her mom’s friend who also a famous designer—Julia Wong. According to Julia, Tiffany designs were fresh and she was like a diamond which still uncut. Julia said too, Tiffany could be greater than her mom if she wants.   However, Tiffany didn’t believe. For her, her mom, Michael Hwang, is the best designer who can never be beaten by anyone. Beside her worldwide masterpiece, she was a woman with warm personalities which made her admired by everyone. Her business ability is beyond imagination. Tiffany wasn’t has the gut to even compare herself to her mom.   Unknowingly, Tiffany rubbed because she felt thirsty. She forgot to bring her tumbler. Usually, Jessica will take it for her, but few minutes ago, Jessica ran to the toilet and hasn’t back yet. Tiffany closed her sketch book a
