Chapter 8.

Sophie let out a high-pitched scream and sat up the bed. She turned off the alarm clock by her bedside and took a deep breath to regulate her unsteady breathing.

For the first time in four years, she had a nightmare about her family's death. She dreamt about her family blaming her for their death and her mom saying that she should have aborted her when she was advised to.

Even though, Sophie knew it wasn't true she couldn't help but cry about their death. After a struggle, she finally managed to calm down and she then glanced at the clock before letting out yet another shrill cry.

“Ahh!!!”.

She immediately got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom to wash while thanking God that her room is sound proof unless her scream would have gotten her into trouble but she couldn't help but wondered while Aunt Chen or Jassy didn't wake up.

After washing up, she woke her uniform and quickly grabbed her backpack and running out of the room. She was late.

Getting downstairs, she greeted “Good morning Uncle Zhao and Aunt Chen how was your night?”.

She rushed out of the house when she didn't see Jasmine but before getting to the door Aunt Chen called her back.

“Take some slices of bread and a cup of milk to warm up your stomach before going to school and also Jasmine has gone because she couldn't wait for you and tell the driver to take you” Aunt Chen smiled and said.

Sophie ate three slice of bread and drank a cup of milk before going. Thank you Aunt Chen and have a wonderful day uncle Zhao.

Yesterday was her first day at Young High school and her teacher said that they have to assemble at school at 8am for the school ceremony.

Sophie greeted uncle Zhou and asked d him if he could get her to school before 8am since it was just 7:45am. “I will try my best Young miss Lu” Uncle Zhou replied.

Upon getting to school, Sophie found out that it was just 7:54am and quickly rushed to her class and dropped her backpack at her desk. She was no desk mate but she was sure that she would be having one soon.

Sophie looked around and saw Jasmine walking to one of their classmates and went to met her.

“Jasmine Zhao why did you not wake me up when you woke up and why did you not wait for me so that we could come to school together” Sophie pretended she was angry and said.

“I knocked on your door and you did not answer so I figured out that you were still sleeping and also you will wake up when your alarm clock sounded” Jasmine smiled and answered.

But did you not I almost got to school late.

Are you not here know? Why are you still angry?. Ok am sorry I will wake you up next time or wait for you.

I am not angry and was just pretending.

The school bell sounded and everyone rushed out of the class to assemble at the school hall for the ceremony.

After the ceremony, Jasmine and Sophia's class teacher Miss Yang entered the class with a girl. She told the class the the girl was their new classmate and her name was Cheryl Chen.

Miss Yang said that Cheryl Chen was going to sit beside Sophie. Sophie frowned.
