The following day,I walked to class and when I saw Ryuu,I blushed even more and said hi to him awkwardly. I guess he felt the same too as he did the exact same thing.

The class was as usual,so boring... After school,my family picked me up in the car as we had to attend my cousin's birthday party. My cousin,Shermaine,is older than me by 1 year and she is very mature. While I was listening to music,my song stopped and I was going to change to my next song when my mother said to my brother,"Jake,please treat your sister better so that she wouldn't suspect a thing." I stopped and decided to eavesdrop on their conversation but I pretended that I was still listening to music so that they wouldn't know that I was listening to them.

"Since your sister is listening to music, she wouldn't be able to hear us as she usually plays her music very loud. Treat her well but not too well or she will suspect it too. She's just an orphan sent to our family. Don't tell her that,ok?" My brother nodded.

I smiled. Wait...what did she say again?! I am an orphan..? I opened my eyes bigger and tried to pinch myself so that I would wake up from this shocking dream. Pain. It wasn't a dream...a dream...I am an...orphan... Tears started streaming down my face like running tap water. I faced the window as I silently cried so that they wouldn't be able to see me crying.My heart was burning.

I am an orphan...I...don't belong to this family...My surname is not Lim... That night during Shermaine's birthday party,I didn't even smiled once although I wished her a happy birthday. The next day,I was lifeless throughout the whole lesson. I pretended that I was still my normal self but Ryuu still noticed it. He kept asking me what happened but I keep on saying nothing happened.

After school,I didn't went home with my friends or Ryuu as I was taking a bus to East Point Shopping Mall because I didn't feel like going home as that is not really my 'home'. I waited for bus 1322 and it finally arrived. Fortunately,it was a double decked bus which means there would be more seats,yay! I was the first one to get up the bus and there were so many people boarding the bus. I rushed up to the second deck,hoping to find seats.

Just then,a man wearing a striped cap and a Puma jacket rushed past me.I was confused but I didn't really care about it. I eagerly looked around,trying to find some seats. Suddenly,I spotted a big black colour bag placed under an empty seat. Somehow,I had this uneasy feeling. After that,a sound jerked me up,'Tick-Tock Tick-Tock...'-----a bomb!

I immediately rushed all of the passengers on the bus out of the bus,even the bus driver. I also stopped all of the passengers who are still trying to board the bus. When I was about to leave,I heard a faint crying sound at the 2nd deck and immediately ran up the stairs. A terrified crying boy was at a corner of the bus. I broke the glass window and carried him. I shouted to the people below," Someone,please catch this child!"as it would be too late if I carried him all the way down. I threw him down and luckily someone caught him.

I tried to escape from the bus but it was too late. The bomb exploded and I flew out of the 2nd deck of the bus and rolled down the bus shelter and fell onto the concrete ground. Bam! I slowly stood up and walked around wobbly as the horrified people around me looked at me and some tried to help but I refused. I asked all of them,"Is...is anyone(coughs) anyone...hurt?"

That's when I finally collapsed onto the ground. The last thing I saw was Ryuu,Karma,Alice and all of my friends rushing to me. My vision started to blur and I closed my eyes. I could hear the sirens of the ambulance getting closer...

To be continued...
