Chapter 1: Present“No, please! Stop!” I cried, warm tears streaming down my cheeks.
I woke up, beads of sweat on my forehead. I cry a lot, I have to admit. I have been having the same nightmare for a very long time, I can’t even remember how long. It wasn’t easy to let go, however, superficially I have succeed. I just could not let anyone pity me.
I sighed and took a quick glance at the clock and realised it was 5.30am, two more hours to go before school start. I decided that I could not fall back to sleep so I made the bed, took a bath and went downstairs to the kitchen to make some breakfast. I tried to find some ham in the fridge then noticed its Tuesday, my maid supposed to go to the market to stock up the food. Bad luck, I guess.
I took my time to wear my uniform, and five minutes to put on both socks. I glazed at the sky, the sun has not yet rise. I took out my laptop from my bag and check my emails. Dad should have sent me an email regarding this month’s expenses. I pondered.
Just as i was pondering The email came,
WEEEE!!!! It's from Dad...

I dilly-dally to towards the ATM machine which was on the way to school. I checked my account with a balance of $6051.93; $1000 was from the previous months. I’m pretty good at saving if I want to, I grinned...off to school......
