Birds were singing and greenery surrounded Daphne as she took a deep breath the aroma of flowers and sighed. ''If only life could be this peaceful.'' Daphne muttered as she closed her eyes recounting the events of that morning.
"Quite a scene eh?''
Daphne turned behind to see who had interrupted her thoughts only to see Anish grinning at her as he strolled to the bench she was sitting on. "What are you doing here?" Daphne asked, nonchalantly."Can't a guy just enjoy a view without wanting anything?''Anish asked as he sat down on the bench. Daphne looked at him with disdain as she replied,
"Can't a girl sit alone in peace?''
"Playing hard to get? I can get you in a heartbeat if I wanted to y'know?''
"Try me.''Daphne rolled her eyes and continued gazing at the view. The birds that were chirping stopped and fluttered away frantically in the azure blue sky the second she turned back. She looked around to find the source and saw Anish staring at her intently. ''What? You're freaking me out bro.'' Daphne mumbled as she took her water bottle and stalked off,leaving Anish on the bench alone.
''UWIZZ ! USE WASD !" Na'im yelled at A's class leader, Uwizz as the two of them played Minecraft while Cheng Shin and Daphne were talking at the back of the class. "Damn I'm thirsty!" Cheng shin said as she slid off the table she was sitting on and went to her bag to get her bottle. Daphne picked up her water bottle too and drank. Suddenly, she felt a pang of dizziness hit her like a tornado and stumbled to the nearest wall and leaned on it for support. Soon she crumbled to the floor and heard disorientated screaming and someone whispering, '' Sleep tight Daphne...''
''Daphne? Are you alright?''
''Daph? Daph? Are you ok Daph? Are you ok?''
''Stop faking it mistake.''
Daphne's eyes fluttered open upon hearing the name. Once. Twice. Slowly, her eyes stayed opened, and she stood up to see a small, young, girl with a tied up ponytail and a pair of spectacles, staring frightened at a middle-aged man glaring at her fiercely. "Girls are so weak." The man—her stepdad, Daphne realised— muttered as he stalked away head tilted towards the ceiling. Daphne blinked. This was the day their stepdad left them - the day that she could never forgive herself for.
"I told you I don't have time for you! Now go wear a dress or whatever you girls do and get on with your life.'' Her stepdad said to younger her as she scrambled to apologise to him.
"Stop talking to her like that!"
Daphne turned her head to find a young boy with messy hair and in a fighting stance, ready to punch his father. Young Jensen looked at him as he moved towards young Daphne carefully, making sure to not break eye contact with his stepdad. "I am your father. I deserve respect from both of you.'' his stepdad demanded. ''Respect has to be earned.''Young Daphne mummured.
''What? You dare disrespect me?''
''Fathers are kind. Fathers raise you. We were raised by mom, raised by each other. You are not our father. This is our home. Our heritage. And you are not welcome here.'' the two kids muttered,becoming more confident after every word.
''Oh? So that's what you think? Alright. Pack your bags. We're going on a long trip.''
