********************************

The tall, blonde- haired Alice, smart, diligent but penury girl. It's actually not her fault being wretched. She was wealthy but ever since the death of her father, things went wrong. She has learnt to endure and accept things the way they seemed to be and hoping that one day, a change will come.
This is her story...

"Mum,mum" I called. "I'm going to Britney's"

"Okay sugar. But be sure come home before 5:00pm. You know every female has to be indoors by that particular time for her protection" she said.

"Blah blah. Everyone knows you are a lecturer (chuckles) ok I will" I say as I go out and shut the door behind me.

Walking down the road, on seeing a couple reminded me of the memories I had with my ex-boyfriend. Jason was a really cool person to hang out with and really funny too. I remember the times I was feeling shady, he'll hold my hand and speak softly to me. Then I will be forced to tell him my burdens. And our first date, I got some ice cream on my hair and everyone was laughing at me. I was so embarrassed. He took me to the bathroom and washed it off. Then he kissed me. That our first kiss. But I had to break up with him. I was young to bring up the romance issue with him. He actually cried. It was kind of funny for a grade 9 male to cry. I guess it was really heartfelt.

I finally reached Britney's house. I knocked hardly on the iron gate. Soon she came to open for me.

"Hey Alice " she said looking at my pale face. "Alice" she continued. "Have you been thinking about him again?" She asked.

I nodded my head positive. I was wondering how she knew. I guess because we're besties.

"May we go in?" I asked.

"Sure, sure"

We entered into house. She served me a drink to cool off. There was silence going on, so I decided to break it.

"I don't know but I feel like reconciling with him again. I feel terribly bad for dumping him without any reason." I said.

"Whatever your heart says gal, I'm with you".

Later, we started doing what I came to do- our assignment for school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On my bed, I was thinking about how I was going to meet Jason. After all, it was Tuesday. And I was gonna meet him in class today.

I quickly dressed up and packed my books to go to school.

In school, I couldn't concentrate. All that was ringing in my mind was; I love ♥you Jason. I was thinking of how to approach him. Then the bell rang for break time. That was my purrfect (perfect time to act like a cat) chance. While he was walking past me, I held his hand.

"Don't act like you don't know me" I said

"Do I?" He replied.

"Jae~Jae." I called him by his nickname. "I loved you and I still do... can we go to somewhere very private." I asked.

"Sure"

I was thinking of the bathroom. We went there.

"I'm sorry." I said to him.

"For what?" He asked.

"For my reactions"

"Nah that's cool"

Our faces, leaning towards each other, we both smooched each other. How did we do that. I don't wanna stop. I said to myself. Until I saw him unbuttoning his school shirt. I was scared.

"What do you wanna do?" I asked in a shaky voice.

"I wanna make you happy." He replied.

"Making me happy through what, Sex? Look here lover boy. For the whole 15 years I've been in this world. I've never had Sex in my life. So why now?" I paused. "You know what, I'm leaving"

I actually left though. I needed to go home and think about that.

Before I went home, I had a terrible experience. Two as a matter of fact. Firstly, I met some girls that call themselves the Baditz galz. I was passing by their tree, and I didn't know anyone trespassing them had to greet them. So I didn't. Then later, there was this girl- Vicky I mistakenly bumped into her and the books she was holding fell. I said sorry and helped her pack her books. She quickly went away in annoyance.

Later in the day, my father gave up the ghost because he was ill. It was so sorrowful and bad. How would my mother cope.

Going to buy something from the tuck shop, I met a group of girls trooping towards me. At first I thought it was nothing but then I realised they had crossed faces on. The beat me up so badly. I began to wonder what my offence was.

Crying, still on the ground, I sighed and said "today just isn't my day"
