Tearful Eyes

Morning

      Peck! Peck! Chirp! Peck! Chirp!

   Every morning,there always four birds beating at my window as if they already know my morning schedule. I peek one eye open on them. They just turn their heads and stare at me. I laughed to myself. I slowly sat up on my bed and give a long stretch before I got up. Sometimes I feel like a princess with these darn birds.
   Once I'm woken up ,I head to the restroom. Gratefully ,I have short hair so I don't take long as much. I just brush my teeth and freshen up. I change into my favorite outfits. It was chilly outside so know I have to wear a sweater. Later on in the day ,it would usually rain so I get prepared. As I do a check list in my head,I started to head out the door.
     Before I close the front door,I look back inside. Sometimes I wish I can say goodbye or love you to someone before I go. Sadly,I don't have no one. My parents were murdered when I was age four. They own a business that has high rates. It took business from others. Therefore, everyone plan against them and took their life away so did mine. My parents had a good friend at least so he took over the business but he passed away of cancer when I was 18 , right after high school finished. I took over the business and inherited everything. I enter a university to study finance and business stocks. I didn't mind doing those things. I don't want to let my parents down. Either way, my business owns toy and make them. Sometimes I work for the kids so they can be happy and have something to play with and share.
    It was already my first week at the Mingde University. Even though I have my inheritance,I didn't buy a expensive looking car,I simply buy a bike. I didn't want to feel high and mighty or a show off  at school so I try to blend in a little. Although people know who I am cause of my parents and business,they treated me as if I have nothing which I was glad. But sometimes I hear others saying I'm ungrateful. I try not to listen. Either way,I got on my bike and rode off to school. I greet everyone as I pass by. I stopped at my favorite restaurant.

   " Mrs.Chen, good morning!"

   "Aw,my child. (Y/N) , you're always beautiful and shine with the sun."

   "Thank you,Mrs Chen. I'm always happy to see you every morning. Tonight I will come and help since it's Tuesday when you get a lot of customers."

  "Oh,I'm fine. You need to study first and whenever you have time then came and help. But for now,here's your breakfast."

  "Thank you so much. It smells so delicious. My parents would be grateful to have a caring women guiding me. Blessings, Mrs.Chen."

   "I'm honored to help raise their child. You're parents were your age when they came here for their first date. Either way,go on. Go to school."

   "Bye,Mrs.Chen, see you tonight!" I did as I drove away.

  "Don't come,child! You stubborn mule! Study!" She yelled at me back.

   I continue to smile and greet people. My friends catch up to me since I pass by their neighborhood. They smiled at me and we playfully bumped bikes together. Qing He,Shancai, and Li Zhen are my best since high school. I admire them. Shancai was the bravest than me. I look up to her one day. Hopefully I can finally fight back cause that's what she does for me. Qing protect us well tries to. He isn't built so it defeat the purpose. Zhen,we barely met her in University. She was always alone and quiet so I decided to be friends with her. Basically the whole school know me due to my kindness. As always, there will be bullies especially when I'm weak and can't stand up for myself.
    As we arrive,we park our bikes and chain them. I look back at the school as if it would smile back. We started to walk towards as others say hi to me.

   "How can you be nice every day? Especially in the morning,it's too early to have a good mood." Shancai said as she drags her feet.

   "Cause I get a good night sleep. I bet you stayed up all night playing with Qing."
