It has been two months since the reading of my family's will and also it is already five months that I have been living in the Zhao house. Living with the Zhao family has been comfortable for me. I never felt lonely or sad.
I started going to school again after three months break and my classmates have been treating me in a different way because of the death of my family saying that talking or playing with me would also cause the death of the family but I was never alone because Jassy has been accompanying me and she told them that just because my family has died doesn't mean that I am different from them and that talking or playing with me wouldn't cause the death of their family. Jassy told them that she has been talking and playing with me after the death of my family and her family are not dead.
After Jassy explained to them, my classmates starting interacting with me again and they don't bully me. But during one of my classmates birthday party Cheryl Chen who is Jassy's cousin, Cherry told her friends that they shouldn't talk to me and that I was the cause of my family members death so I argued with her telling her that I wasn't the cause and that she is a bully and those who bully people would get sick.
She became angry and pushed me into the swimming pool. I was drowning because I couldn't swim but before I fainted Jassy came and rescued me . I was taken to the hospital and treated. When I woke up, Cheryl's parents apologise to me and tried to caution Cheryl and asked her to apologise to me. She refused saying that she did not do anything wrong but when Jassy's mother said that if she doesn't apologise for what she did, she is going to be banned from coming the Zhao family house and she will make sure she is sent abroad to reflect on what she did.
While Cheryl was hesitating, Jassy also said that she will stop being her friend, so she reluctantly apologised to me but not before glaring at me. After that incident, anytime Cheryl sees me she will always send an glare at me and if Jassy was not with me Cheryl will threaten me and also tell me that I must not report to anyone but I told Jassy's mother told it and she caned Cheryl for not realising her mistake and for also bullying me.
Since then, Cheryl hated me and I also hated her for reminding me of my family members death. So we will always compete for things. During of my family gathering, we were asked our dream job and Jassy said that she wanted to be a surgeon like her father, I said that I wanted to be a fashion designer like my late mother.
Cheryl mocked me saying that I wanted to be a fashion designer because I was weak and had no talent in accounting since she wanted to be an accountant because of that I changed my dream job from being a fashion designer like my late mother to an accountant. I decided to become an accountant because of Cheryl and I wanted to compete with her to let her know that I wasn't weak and I could be a better accountant than me.
Author note:
I got no against fashion designer or accountant so please don't feel offended incase I was rude to the two careers.
