The Girl I met in a Cafeteria

When I was on a holiday, my mom asked me to do some outdoor activities because she was bored to see me playing computer all the time. I tried to look for something interesting. I found nothing but an offer to join a science club. But the fee was very expensive. Because of that, I went to a cafetaria to think about joining that science club twice (or may be more).
When I arrived there I was very hungry. I wanted to order a cup of coffee while thinking of that club. And then, something happened. I met a girl and I recognised her as one of my friends five years ago. But, when I looked her clothes, I knew that something terrible had made her become a beggar. What made me sadder was that she was the one who always helped me when I got a bad mark on math, and other subject that need calculations.
Without any doubt, I said, “Miss, please have a seat.”
She was very surprised with my invitation, looked like she had forgotten me. With a doubt, she sat beside me.
Then I said again,”Do you know me?” She answered it with an innocent face, I was sure that means “no”.
“Didn’t you remember that five years ago you always helped a girl who was very nerd and always got a bad mark on math?” I said, tried to make her remember, even for just a second.
“Five years ago? Umm.. I don’t remember, sorry,” said her with an honest face.
I gave her time to think about that, while I started to lost hope. May be she’s not her, I thought.
“Oh. I know! I know her! Who always got bad mark, nerd, very shy.. Is that you?” she said with brightness on her face.
“Yeah.. I knew that your memory isn’t bad at all. What happened? Why do you become like this?” I asked.
“After I finished my junior high school, my parents died because of a plane’s accident. I have no family out there and no one wanted to adopt me. I just can beg for the other’s kindness,” answered her. A drop of tear fell in her beauty face when she told the story. What an unbelievable story.
“I will help you. I’ll do anything as long as I can.”
“Thank you, but you should’nt have to..”
“But I want to help you. You just have to wait in this cafetaria tomorrow. I’ll come here again with some useful information for you,” said me without a doubt. “Before that..this..my money..for you. I think you’ll need it more than I need.
“Thanks. I don’t know how to pay back your kindness,” she said hopefully.
“Okay, now I have to go home. See you tomorrow,” I said, then I went home.
I knew that the money that I would use to eat for a day, may be she could make it for a week. I went home, with a cool face. But in my deepest heart, I was veerrryyyy hungry and had to come home as fast as possible!! Hopefully, she didn’t know anything about that.
