Life is Tough

Chapter 1

June 18, 2014 Wednesday

     

      7:30 in the morning. I open my phone and saw the morning messages of the important people in my life. I replied to them one by one and stood up from my bed. I always start my day with a smile, and for you to know, I hate seeing people crying.

     My name is Jennica Louie, a junior student in Lewiston Academy. my classmates call me Jennica but my friends prefer to call me Louie. I love playing guitar and piano. I started playing it when I was 4 years old. My brother, Shawn, is the one who taught me. I and my brother love to perform on stage. Sometimes, I'll sing then he'll play guitar or vice versa. We love each other, since our parents are at States, managing our hotel there.

     "Hey Jen! It's time to eat breakfast!" my brother calls me from the kitchen. "Coming bro!"... After taking a bath and fixing her stuffs, she go ahead at the kitchen and sit beside her brother. Shawn was assign to be the cook since Jen doesn't know how to cook.

      "So how's your school?" my brother ask me and give a wink. I know that he has another meaning. "Great! My teacher asked me if we can perform in the upcoming Science camp!", I would like to perform, but seeing my brother's reaction after I asked him, it seems like something was bothering him. "Uhhhh.....mmmm..." holding his neck uncomfortably. "If you don't like, its okay.  I understand bro! Sorry for interrupting you, go ahead and continue eating eating your breakfast! Gonna go!". "You don't have to be sorry, okay? Bye! Take care little sis!" I gave him a salute before opening the door.

Time check: 8:48 a.m.

     Jennica's class starts at 10:00 a.m. Since many guys admire her because of her talent, she has many suitors and stalkers. That's why she prefer to go early at school for them not to notice her. And because it's too early. there are no students yet, so she decided to go at the place where she considers as her "OWN PLACE". It's at the back of their building, this is the place where she composes songs, and she loves this place because this is the place where she first met her best friend, Stephen Summer.

-Flashback-

August 16, 2008 (4:56 p.m.)

     Jennica was so upset because her parents needed to go abroad for their family business. She's not yet ready because she's too young, even though she has her brother at her side; she really feels that her parents abandoned them. Suddenly, tears are now flowing from her eyes; she can't even stop them, she lean at the wall and let the tears flow until they stop.

     "Hey! Are you okay?" a voice coming in front of her. She can't see his face because it's already dark, and she didn't even notice it. "I'm okay, don't worry!" I said while wiping my tears. "But you're crying so hard!" a worried voice came out from his mouth. "I'll be fine!" I gave him a small smile, "Anyway, why are you here?" I ask with curiosity. "This is my secret place, this is the place where I go if I need to be alone", he said with a big smile in his face. "So you better keep it as a secret because you're the only one who knows my place which I consider as my own" and he gave me a grin. "Don't worry! Your secret is safe to me!", "From now on, you are free to go here whenever you want, and you are now my beloved bestfriend! Welcome to our place, Nica!" he gave her a big hug. Nica was just speechless, and honestly, she's comfortable with Stephen. At first, she wants to resist at his hug, but she can't understand her emotions at that time. That feeling that she really needs that hug. "Anyway, how did you know my name?" I asked with a curious voice,

"Obviously, I saw it from your I.D.!" he said it while laughing. I should be embarrassed... But I can't when it comes to him. "Hahaha! Funny! Okay! So, what's your name?", "I would like to make it formal, and I will start it by this.. Hi Nica! I'm Stephen Summer, a junior student at this school, section Agatha. Nice to meet you, my new found bestfriend!" he said it with a formal tone. "I am so glad that I met you, Stephen! Thank you for this day, I mean night. Hahaha! I'll never forget this!", and I gave him a big hug. I heard his voice whispering into my ear saying...., "I don't want to see you crying again!"

And this is how I ended my chapter 1. Hope you like it. :) If you have negative reactions, you can comment it and I'll try to fix it. Thankyouuuuu
