Chapter 4 part 2/2 - Star Kingdom

" You are?" I asked.

" I am Nicholas Flamel, the top scholar in the Star kingdom. I am skilled in various kind of magic so your father ordered me to wait in front of gate to protect you when you arrived." he said.

" This uniform..."

" This is a royal uniform for the top scholar which are selected to work in Star Kingdom, I am trained from small specially to protect Star Kingdom."

" owh..wait a minute!! What you mean magic?You are a...magician?"

" Magician? you mean those people that could turn a tissue paper into pigeons? "

" Yeah, could you do that too? Its cool."

" I am sorry my princess but the magic in here and in human world is different. The magic in human world is like playing a trick with people's blind spot whereas here, magic is a kind of power that could fight evil and protect our self, let me show you one."

He chant some weird code.Then a pair of wing appears on his shoes.The wing is white at the beginning but it slowly turn red, and it burns like a fire.

" There are five main nature magic. Fire, water, earth, lightning, and wind. However, there are only a certain amount of people here that is born with magic skills. We are then chosen by the king and was trained since young. My magic power is fire, I burned my house when I'm small because I didn't know how to control it..haha." He laughed.

Chapter 4 part 1/2- Star Kingdom

I have no words to describe the scenery right in front of me. The air smells like mint. Seriously, I never thought the air could be so refreshing without pollution and I never thought I'll have a chance to breathe like this...

I looked up in the sky. I could see billions of stars in the sky. The sparkling star made night time looked like day time. The feeling of amazed and puzzled occur in my heart at the same time.

" Twinkle, the stars in the sky are one of the elements to protect Star kingdom. They are the most loyal guard that guards this kingdom." A young lady says.

" Uh oh..I see" "Hey wait a minute! Who the heck are you? And where is the creepy old weird woman with me just now?"

" Hahaha.." The young lady laughed. She took out some liquid like thing from her pocket...I wouldn't say that is a mask but the fact is IT IS A MASK.She puts it on and there she is again, the old creepy weird woman.

"......" I am speechless again. "Why are you making yourself so ugly when you are so beautiful?"I asked.

"Our identity are very precious. Always remember that my dear."She smiled and this time it was beautiful.

This young lady mumbled some words and a staff appeared in her hand. She taps the floor with the staff 3 times.

I was telling myself to be calm.
I've been through the weirdest things today and nothing could scare me anymore.

Suddenly,something shaped like a cloud appear in front of us.

"What now?I am going to fly with the cloud just like powerpuff girls?" I gave her a weird look.

"Nah, powerpuff girls don't fly with cloud like you will"

The young lady is already standing on the cloud.
" Come "She pulled me into the cloud.
I hold my breath as I stepped on the cloud. I felt so light as if I'm a feather..No an ant! Ha..I proved Newton's law are WRONG. If you are wondering who Newton is, he is a dude that sat under an apple tree during his free time and got hit by a falling apple and that's how PHYSICS starts. Why it isn't a durian tree instead of apple tree? Then he'll die or paralyse or something and we'll be free from all the formula. Oh..Pascal, Bernoulli, Hooke..should die too.

Oh,I'm day dreaming again. Back to the topic,the cloud moves really fast.
I couldn't see anything.
Everything was so blur and suddenly, it stopped.
I landed on the ground with a bump. Ouch..it really hurt. When I was rubbing my leg, I looked at what is in front of me.

You couldn't believe it.It was so.. magnificent. Shining in gold and so magical. The golden flower begin to bloom as I try to stand. The butterflies start to dance around us as it seem they are greeting us. And I could hear the trees singing. Man..I feel so magical.

A guy who is wearing a pair of spectacles appears out of no where.He is wearing a uniform. I would say it looked a royal uniform

" Welcome, my star celestial princess, to your home." He spoke after he bow.

Chapter 3. Part 2/2 - New Home, New Life

I was stunned. This is the brightest light I've ever seen. I can barely open my eyes.

~Zoopz~

I open my eyes and I am right here. Standing at a place I've never been there before. "Is this a forest?"I wonder.This place kinda looked like an old, abandoned forest that might fill with ....BUGS...EWW. A woman appears in front of me. "Please follow me princess" . At that particular moment, my words just wouldn't come out, my mouth is too heavy to open. I've never had this feeling before. I felt weird.I've got no choice except to follow her .We pass through the forest and WOW.

The scenery is so beautiful. Billions of flowers could be seen across the wide field. This is like a paradise, a place that people would gave their life for. Birds , butterflies and many more pretty creatures are flying in the sky.

That woman stopped. She turned around and gave me a friendly smile, making her face looked even older with all the wrinkles. "Who are you?" I asked.

"I am your dad's servant. " she said. Suddenly, there are these strange high pitched noises. The woman turned pale. I saw her shaking in fear. She holds my hand and run.

"What happened?"I am shocked by the big changes in her face. This ain't something good, at least that's what my sixth sense tells me. The woman run pretty fast. You will be amazed by her speed. Who knew a skinny woman like her could accelerate THIS fast?

She finally stopped. Thank god I am safe, my organs still stay in my body. Whats in front of me now is a tall tree. I really meant it. TALL.

Too many weird stuff happened today and what happens now is even weirder.The woman mumbled a few words , perhaps a spell. She gave me the smile again, reminding me of how ugly she is. She pull my hands and walking towards the direction of the tree.

" Hey stop, we are going to hit the tree!" I shouted.

She ignore me. " Oh my god " I don't dare to open my eyes. Suddenly I felt the ground vibrating, I opens my eye and I am here...inside the tree...

" What the..." I am speechless. The inside of this tree ain't phloem or xylem but a...lift?

" This is the lift to Star Kingdom" The woman speaks.

In 10 seconds time, we've reached. I was...amazed with what's in front of my eyes..

Chapter 3. Part 1/2 - New Home.New Life

"Nah Twinkle what are you thinking. You and him will never be together.."I thought.

Jo smile at me again. My heart beat even faster than before.

" Hey, don't you feel tired? Lets go home " said Jo.

"oh yea.." I stopped all the day dreaming.

On the way home, Jo keep telling me jokes but I just couldn't laugh at his jokes. My problem is not solved yet.

"Bye, see you"said Jo as he walk in his home.

I smile and wonder. Will we ever meet again..

I stood infront of the door for some moment. I was scared. But then I'll still have to face the problem.

Suddenly someone opened the door when i was about to go in. Its him. Mr Johnson again. I have some really bad feelings.

"Twinkle you are late but never mind lets go."said Mr Johnson.

Lets go? This moment finally reached. My mum run towards me and hug me.

"Goodbye darling"

"Bye, mum."

I don't dare to look at my parent . I was afraid that they will saw the tears in my eye. Mr Johnson help me to take my bag packs. As I was wondering where his car is suddenly a limousine stopped in front of my house. Was that his car?. I thought. The limousine driver stepped out of the car and take my bag packs from Mr Johnson's hand. Wow, that's really his car.

This is the first time I sit in such an expensive car. It was extraordinary comfortable and wide inside. I feel like a celebrity. I feel happy but at the same time I miss my mummy, daddy and him...

"We've reach"said Mr Johnson.

As I stepped out from the car, I was amazed for a moment. Mr Johnson house looked like a palace.

"Hi, you must be Twinkle. I am Edward." a boy suddenly appear and talk to me.

I looked at him. He is guy about 16 years old. He is a thin, tall guy with yellowish brown hair a pair of sparkling brown eyes.

"Hi, you are..? " I was wondering who is this good looking guy.

"I am Mr Johnson son" He said with a charming smile.

" Looks like both of you have know each other, Edward take Twinkle in and serve her some snacks, she must be hungry."said Mr Johnson.

"Come Twinkle, I will show you the way in the house, later we head to living room for snacks." Edward said while pulling my hands toward the house.

I nodded and follow him in the house. The house is like a museum. I was so amazed seeing various kind of historical things. Edward explain every historical things in detail to me. I was so into all these historical things and I never notice that I've reached the living room. Wow..it took me 10 minutes to walk from the main gate till the living room. Can you imagine how big is this house?

I sat down on the sofa. The sofa is extraordinary soft too. An old man walks in and serve us some tea and snacks. Edward tells me that the old man is their house keeper, He had worked here for 40 years.

"Twinkle, I will tell you about your dad now "said Mr Johnson.
I feel so excited that i could only nodded my head hard.

" Once upon a time, there is a kingdom in another world called Star kingdom . The king who rules the kingdom is your dad. He is a wisdom and kind king, thats why he is loved by his peoples . One day, an evil gang called HD which stands for Hatred Desires intrude and attacked the Star kingdom .Your dad is not powerful enough to stop them so he order his faithful advisor which is me to bring you to other world safety. As soon as I reach here ,I left you at the road hoping that some people will found you and take good care of you because I need to rush back to help your dad to defend the kingdom. The kingdom is safe at last, and your dad wants me to find you back . But in these 13 years, I couldn't find you until a few days ago.You are the Star Celestial Princess. You may can't believe it, Twinkle. I am glad I found you before the end of the world.The world may have a chance." Mr Johnson said with a relief smile.

I gasped. I couldn't believe actually there is a another world beside this world.

" Stop joking with me Mr Johnson. I am not a little kid anymore. Do you expect me to believe in all these nonsence stuff? If my real dad had died, you can be honest with me. I'll accept the fact." I giggle.

"Twinkle, I am not joking. Come with me, I'll show you something." Mr Johnson stand up and walk towards the opposite way. I quietly followed.

Mr Johnson leads me into the study room. The big picture of a star attracts my attention. I walks to the picture and accidentaly touched it. Suddenly, my starlight necklace begin to shine and it flow right infront of me as if it wants to talk to me.

"What is happenning? My necklace is ..alive!"I shouted.

I saw Mr Johnson and Edward smiling at me.

" Hold it and touch the picture with your necklace."said Mr Johnson.

I do as what he said. I hold my starlight necklace and slowly touch the picture.

Suddenly, something happened...

Chapter 2. Part 2/2- The Mystery Guest

The next day

Twinkle Xing POV

The day is still same as usual. I wake up and do my daily chores while wondering what can I do to survive through this boring ordinary day. Suddenly I remember about the ice skating date with Jo. Oh no! This aint no ordinary day, this is gonna a day with Jo! You get what I mean? with Jo! I quickly change into my favourite purple T-shirt and denim short pants. Without wasting time, I rushed out of the door. Jo is already at the door. He beamed. He is wearing a white jacket and baggy trousers. Well I admit he look cool in them. Especially with that charming smile. " Oh Jo, I'm so sorry! How long have you been waiting. I am so sorry for being late " I apologized and fake a smile. An awkward smile. " It's rare for you to forget things like this. What happen? And don't try to put up a fake smile because I can see through your mask." Jo asked. I guess I should be honest with him. " Umm..Actually... well... you see... I am going to move out soon" "WHAT? with WHO" Jo asked, with a shocked expression. "I dont know.. " " What you mean you dont know?" "er..." . There is an awkward silence at this moment. Both of us are not talking. We looked at each other. Maybe Jo can really see through my mask, I can tell it by looking at his expression.

" Lets just talk about this after we reach the shopping mall, okay ?" " Okay" He answered reluctantly. We didn't talk much on the road either. He is probably having thousands of questions in his head right now.We boarded a bus at the bus stop near my house. Taking bus is obviously a better choice compared to cycling, for cycling would take one hours to reach the shopping mall. On our way there, Jo started to break the ice. He told me stories about his finding on a time capsule, saving a puppy from being put into death, and more to make up for his action. After 15 minutes, we finally reach. The shopping mall looks different from what I remembered. Gosh, I feel so outdated. It's like I have been trapping myself at home for ages. Maybe I should come out more often. "Jo, come on! Let heads to the ice skating ring." This time,I break the silence. Jo didn't gave me any reaction and he look like fidgeting so I pulled his hand and run towards the ice skating place. Jo could only smile while running. The effect of his cute smile towards me is amazing. The world seem to stopped rotating for a moment. After done all the paying stuff. I was so excited to start skating. "Wait" Jo holds my hand and stop me from entering. Jo looks kinda sad. " Aren't you going to tell me what happened yesterday? " he said. " Well . You see... There is a man that came to my house yesterday. He claimed to be my real dad's friend and he wanted me to stay with him for a few month to know who I really am." I said and my tears fall without me realising.

I was trying my best to smile but the smile is just too fake. Jo saw my tears. He took a tissue out from his pocket and gently wipe my tears away. "We are still friends no matter what right? "he said. I quietly nodded. He hold out his pinky finger. "Promise me that you won't change school." said Jo. "I.. will try." "Pinky promise please? " And we lock our finger as a sign of promise.

Somehow, I feel the urge to breakdown and cry, but I wont want anyone to see me like that. "Please excuse me for a minutes. I need to go to the washroom." I run towards the washroom.There's no one in it. I break down and cry in front of the mirror. "What is all this sudden change in my life?"I talk to myself in the mirror. If anyone is looking at me, she will think I am sort of crazy. But who cares, no one even know me here. When I stepped out from the washroom Jo suddenly appear and pull me to the ice skating place. "Lets skate and race. The loser will have to pay for the hamburger "Jo is trying to cheer me up.Well, it did work. I finally smiles and race with Jo the whole day. At last we got really tired so Jo go and buy drinks for himself and me. I was lost in a thought. Jo is really a nice guy. My feelings towards him is like more that just a friend or I am just thinking too much?What am I thinking? Of course my feeling towards him is different.We are best friend! " Hey Twinkle, have you wait too long for the drinks?" Jo called me. I looked at Jo who is holding two bottle of drinks which are orange juice. "Hey! Orange juice is my favourite!Thank you so much! " I grab one of the bottles and open it. I immediately gulp a lot of orange juice. Jo couldn't help it but blurted into laughter." Hey, what is so funny?! " I am so surprised at Jo's expression. " HAHAA! You are so cute!!" Jo laughed. " SO WHAT!" I shout at him and turn my back. I could feel myself blushing. " Calm down, why so serious. Oh I knew it, you like me?" Jo grinned. " Seriously, there is no way I would like you, you crazy boy!" I shouted at him. My heart is beating fast, real fast.Twinkle Xing don't tell me you are in love with Jo. I sigh. " Come on, we are just best friends right although I admit you look awesome. " I winked. "I always looked awesome and charming, I know " Jo chuckled. "By the way who won? I am starving for hamburgers. " I rub my stomach because it is growling. " Nevermind, my treat okay? Now lets go McDonald! " This time,Jo pulled my hand and run all the way to the restaurant.

After having hamburgers at McDonald, Jo ask me whether want to play shooting game since we have plenty of time left. I agree and we head to the arcade next. We tried a lot of new different game and surprisingly scored for each game. We are the BEST GAME PARTNER EVER!Hooray! I mentally shout with joy. Suddenly the fuzzy feeling is back again..

That feeling is so strange and weird yet...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jo POV

After we play the last game, I look at her face, she finally smiled and have a pure bliss on her face. I know in her head, she is shouting with joy with something about greatest combination or whatever. I don't want to admit it but I like her very much. She is the only reason I always keep changing girlfriends because I want to forget about that feeling. Because I am scared of losing her and ... , being too dramatic for a popular boy huh? I hope she will okay... Maybe I should visit her new house sometime to make sure she is alright.

When it will end?

Chapter 2. Part 1/2- The Mystery Guest

" Mr Johnson is my real father's friend?.." I am too shocked to say anything..okay my mind goes blank while trying to process the information. " Yeah, the last I saw you, you were still a baby, you've grown up so fast ." Mr Johnson flicked his glasses to have a better look on me. " But how do you know that I am your friend's daughter?" I asked knowing if he is real one, then he sure know something about me right?

" Easy, you have a star tattoo on your buttock right?" He grinned. " What?! Wait, how do you know it?" Hell NO WAY! My secret is out!! JUST WHO IS HE!! I sometime wonder if he is a pervert?

" I know it but I am very offended, Twinkle. By no means, I am not a pervert." Mr Johnson said while crossing his arms. "How...did you know what am I thinking??" He is a mind reader!! Oh my god!!! " Everything is written on your face and beside I have my ways, you see. Don't be surprised." Mr Johnson smiled. I raise my eyebrows. Even through you can read me like a book, I can read your expression too! You are dammit hiding a smirk behind a smile!

"Ah, Twinkle, let have a nice short chat? " "Fine, let take a seat." I grumbled, luckily I didn't forget my manners or my parents sure will be scolding or yelling at me until I go deaf. "Okay, Mr Johnny, what do you want to ask about? " " Hmm.. everything about you. " If he know everything about me, then I should know about him right?? " If you tell me everything." It is my answer. Mr Johnson's smile turn into a frown but his frown cant be seen by everyone except me. I giggled knowing I finally provoke him.

" Twinkle, what is so funny? I will tell you after you tell me. " I sigh and formally introduce myself. " My name is Twinkle Xing. I am 13 years old. I love vegetables because eating meat will increase carbon imprint on the earth thus causing global climate. I like to go ice skating with my close friend. I spend rest of my free time reading Japanese comics in term of manga and play computer. I hate Geography because that stupid fat teacher is teaching. I love science because I get to do alot of experiments. That's all about me. "

" Twinkle, who is your close friend? By the way who is your stupid fat teacher? I am sure she is so incredible fat until she cant walk." Beneath somewhere, Miss Fatt snoozed. I laugh so hard until I can feel my stomach is practically breaking. When I finally able to stop myself from laughing, I compose myself and answer his question. " My close friend is Jo and stupid fat teacher is Miss Fatt." Suddenly I realized something. I have been giving out too much information! I groaned.

"Now your turn to tell me. " I sit back and waiting for him to talk. But his answer is. " I will tell you everything about me and you later. Go and packs your things. You are going to have a new home." "What? What do you mean a new home?" I am soo..shocked. Okay, I just have meet him and now I have to move into his house?!

"Hey! hey! YOU BROKE THE DEAL! You promised that you will tell me if I tell you. That ain't nice, you know. " I pouted. " I tell you abit okay. I am Johnson Allaneze Vori. I am 52 years old. I love eating pop-candy. I spend my time practicing ma..That is enough." Mr Johnson almost covers his mouth from saying the forbidden word.

Pop-candy! Johnson is really a sweet lover huh for his age. But I caught something he almost uttered ..start with Ma..What is so serious?? I really want to know.. " I wish to speak to your parents about you" Mr Johnson finally broke the silence. Huh?? Why my parents? What is going on? I recalled that he mention something about moving into his house..Oh My GOD!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Michelle Ong POV

Mr Johnson ask me to let my child move into his house for a few months. I feel that I cant accept it..I know Twinkle has the right to know about her parents but the news about her moving into a stranger's house..is unbearable. My husband confront me by saying its only a few months, later we can have her back. He forced a smile. I could tell he is very upset but is very concerned about Twinkle Xing. I wipe my tears and scolds myself for being so selfish. Now, how am I gonna tell her about it?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Twinkle Xing POV

He nodded and talk to my parents. I couldn't even catch up a few words from their conversation. The only things I saw from my parent are faces covered with tears. After their conversation, my mum come toward me and then hugs me tightly.Its so tight that I cant even breathe.Her tears are wetting my uniform. Another suprising things happens .

" Darling, you are going to move to Mr Johnson's house next week" she spoken in a low and sad voice. My dad silently nods. I stumbled back and almost fall but luckily one of my hand hold the table to support my body. "WHAT? WHY? No mum, I am not leaving. I don't even know him?!" " Don't worry, you will get to know me better from today onwards."said Mr Johnson. "NO. I don't know you, go away and get out from my life." I shouted at him with teary eyes.

I dash upstairs to my room and slam the door. I jumped on my bed and hugged my favourite pillow, Momo ( I know it is weird that it has a name. ) and cry over it softly. " What have I done? Why mummy and daddy doesn't want me anymore?" my tears cant stop because... I can't stand being away from my parents and near the stranger. What if he is a criminal or kidnapper???

"Knock knock" I never open the door and bury my face in the pillow without caring about the knocking sounds. My parents finally open my door and slowly approach me. My mum stretch her hand and gently pat me. "Darling, don't you want to know who you really are?" My dad whispers. I didn't answer them because I don't want to...or I am confused now. My life is perfectly fine until that stupid man break it.

"Darling, you are only going to stay with Mr Johnson for a few month, its long enough for you to know about your true self." I pick that word in my ear, I don't know why but it has a sense of connected to me.."My ..true self? " I muttered. They caught the words. "Yes darling, I am going to pack your things now.Remember darling,no matter where you are , we will always miss you." Miss you huh? It bring comfort to me.

I quietly smiled and nodded knowing I misinterpret the situation. I lie on my bed closing my eyes and sometime I pray this day is just a nightmare. Everything will be back to normal is what I thought. But unfortunately it is not a nightmare. I know it and hid my face in the blanket so they won't catch me crying. Seriously it is the 5th time I cry since 8 years ago.

After my parents help me to pack my stuff.They quietly leave the room. They thought I was sleeping.

After they left. I woke up and walk to the balcony. I stare at the moon up in the sky. The moon is shining so brightly along with its companion which are stars in the night. I am wondering whether if my name means the star in the sky.I think back what mum said. My..true self? This word unknowingly has a great impact on myself."

*Twinkle*~ You have a great fate rest on your shoulder~ Be strong~

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mr Johnson POV

I finally found her, my lord. Now, all is left is to tell her everything. I left the house where Twinkle stay after discussing with her foster parents. As I look at the balcony where the Twinkle is, I saw her gazing at the moon, no perhaps, stars. I smiled because Twinkle ..is connected to the stars in a way.

~TO BE CONTINUED~

Chapter 1 - The Normal Life

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! The army of HD is invading the castle! We must defend it and let everyone have time to escape!" The king shouted. He was carrying a baby in his hand. " Johnson!! Where are you?" "I am here, my lord." Johnson, his faithful advisor reach at his side. "Good, Johnson, now I want you bring my baby to other world in short, human world. I will be forever grateful to you if my baby is safe. " The king looks at his baby and smile. "Twinkle, you must be safe..." " Are you sure, my lord? It will be hard to track her back down again." Johnson look at the king with a hint of concern in his eyes. "Yes, I am sure." Johnson immediately departs into another world with the baby. He left the baby on the road hoping that some kind soul will take notice of the baby and take her in.

The baby start crying after Johnson left her on the road. She felt disturbance in the force but she doesn't know it yet. A car is speeding on the road.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Michele Ong POV

I am your typical average housewife. Today I am bringing groceries on the way home from the supermarket. As I am chatting with my husband, I saw a flash of yellow light at the road. I frown when I ask my husband about the yellow light but he replied that he never see it. I take a look again at the road. I was shocked to see a baby in the MIDDLE of the road. I start panicking and wonder if a speeding car will kill the baby?

To my dismay, a car is really speeding on the road!! I push out all the stupid thought that is whirling in my head and rush into the road and dropping my groceries during the process. "NoNoNONONO!! Don't run into the middle of the road!! " My husband shouted after saw a change in my action and start running after me. I quickly grab the crying baby and hug her without knowing what to do the next. But then the driver of the speeding car never notice me. My body feel numb and I braced myself while waiting in anticipation of being knocked over. Lucky my husband was smart enough to drag me and the baby to the other side of the road by an inch of nearly death. "You are worrisome. You know what?? You nearly DIE! Ok?? Don't ever make me worry again."

As he is lecturing me,I look at the baby and smiled. The baby is a girl and have the most beautiful golden eyes I ever seen. I don't know why but I feel a very warm feeling toward the baby as we are connected in some way. Maybe the baby is a gift from the god since I have pregnancy problem. I take a glance at my husband, wondering that I could foster her if her parents didn't ... My husband seem know what is in my mind and besides he always had wanted a child along. " Sure" that was his answer. I look at the baby again and found a bright yet shining starlight necklace with her. Twinkle Xing is the name that was carved on the necklace.

My husband pick up the groceries that I dropped while I was carrying the baby to home and arrange document for fostering the baby. I kiss her forehead and silently thanks the god for gifting me a beautiful baby.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Many years passed by...

Twinkle Xing POV

I am Twinkle Xing. I am 13 years old girl. I have short blond hair. I was fostered by my foster parents. Back then, I was baby with no memories on the road. A woman and her husband saw me on the way home. They were worried that a car might knocked me down so they dropped their groceries and rushed toward me. They grab and carry me to the other side of the road. They have risked their life to save me. I was genuinely touched by their action. Since they have no child, they decided to foster me. My real parents never leave me anything, only a bright,shiny starlight necklace. Until now, I am still wearing the starlight necklace.

The sunlight shine through the window and finally reach my eyes.Its killing me so I pull the blanket to cover myself. Warm and comfortable is what I feel. The alarm clock rings. I cover my ears with pillows as it is quite annoying in my sense. Damn, I feel like throwing the bed to crash the alarm clock. How stupid am I to ask for an alarm clock as my 12th birthday present .It still ringing in my ears so I wake up in frustration.

" Can't I get a nice sleep?!" I yelled with black eye bags under my eyes. "Grr...whats the time now, why is it ringing so early....argh..stupid clock spoiled my beautiful morning." I have a quick look at the time as I'm switching off the alarm. " Oh my goodness, 8 ? Its already 8 ? I am going to be late to school! I don't want to get any detention anymore!" I mentally screamed. The memory of last time I got detention in school, I was grounded by my parents for a month. It was a very bad memory so..that is no way I am getting grounded again!

I quickly jumped off my bed and change into my uniform. While I was rushing down the staircase ,I grab my breakfast along. I was so rushing that I even forgot about my hair. " Darling, be careful on the way to the school !" " Sure mum, love ya bye" I kiss my mum's cheek.

Oh ya, This is my foster mum. She has been taking care of me patiently until now. Her name is Michelle Ong and is currently 43 years old. She has a blond hair and a pair of emerald eyes. She is a kind and hardworking lady. She never complained or grumbled . She sacrifices her work just to take care of me. I love her and I cant imagine life without her.

I took my bicycle which painted black ( that's my favorite colour ) and cycle all the way to the school with all my energy. As soon as I reach at school,"DING DONG..." the bell rings. I manage to squeeze in through the narrow door. Phew, If I was 2 second slower, I might become a piece of salmon in between of the school wall and the gate or even worst tomato ketchup...

"Yo Twinkle, you did it man !" a familiar voice call me from behind.

I turn my head and saw Jo. Jo is my childhood friend and he lives next door. He is very cheerful type and yet very popular among girls and guys because his 'so shining hair' and his handsome face and somemore his personality. He loves basketball and chess so much until he become an expert at them. He hold president seat in both clubs. I can't deny that he is a guy with looks and brain. We are in the same class since kindergarten. But there is something I don't like about him is the fact that he change his girlfriend like a girl change his clothes. Some girls in school are jealous of me because I am close to him ..but who cares ? Although I wonder why I am friends with him at first place...

" Hey Jo, wow its rare to see you this early!" I insulted him. " Yeah Yeah whatever....at least I am not the person with a messy hair...or is that your new hair style? You rock man...haha." "What?!"I quickly take out a mirror from my pocket ( the mirror is finally useful) . "AHHHHHH"I shouted loudly that everyone in the school can hear me when I saw myself in the mirror. " Don't be a baby. Now everyone saw your new hair style" Jo said while hinting that all the students are looking at me..even the teachers.

"Come on, we almost late to class!" Jo pulls my hand and ran toward to the classroom. He saves me from the embarrassing moment .
" Ok ok ok..Anything but don't call me baby!" I shouted at him while fixing my hair. " Hehehe..you still the same as ever!" mocked Joe.

I glared at him but unfortunately my glare doesn't work on him. So instead I look at his shining eyes which make me so dazed until I didn't realised I've reached at the classroom. "Isn't my eyes beautiful?"Joe grinned. "Shut up" is the only word I could mutter. I look at him again and quickly go and take my seat and start daydreaming while waiting of the teacher.

After a few minutes , Miss Fatt enters the classroom. There is alot of things I hate about her! She is a woman with small head and fat limbs. She looks like an animal but she likes to scold us like animal. She is very hot-tempered and very 'gloomy' but pretend to be a good-natured teacher when talking to other teachers or principal. Ughh, it make me sick looking at her. She likes to shout at us when we make a simple mistake but unfortunately I am always her no.1 favourite victim. Well, that is good if she remains single because I bet her boyfriend/husband cant put up with her. If yes then, he sure has same personality with her and I don't want to imagine it.

" Good morning, class." said Miss Fatt with a gloomy voice. Something doesn't feel right. My instinct tells me that something is going to happen and it ain't good. " Good morning, Miss Fatt." all the students reply. Her eyes meet my eyes and her face suddenly turn into a frown.

" TWINKLE! YOU NEVER TIDY YOUR HAIR! YOU LOOKED LIKE A MONKEY.GO TO THE BACK AND TAKE THE BROOM TO SWEEP THE FLOOR" as she points her finger at me.

I heard some laughter in my class. Geez I really hate this teacher.I pushed my chair loudly, loud enough for the whole class to hear it. I rolls my eye in front of her but I didn't know whether she realize it a not. I guess she didn't see it, otherwise I won't end up only sweeping the floor.

"Class, take out your text book and turn it to pg 57" as she mutters something under her breath. " Why my life is a hell?!"


This is the only thing I heard the whole period.


"RING...." .Finally its BREAK TIME! I rushed out of the classroom and buy some food . I am starving . I wasted a lot of energy sweeping this stupid classroom. After bought the food, I was trying to find a table and sat down to enjoy my delicious meal .Suddenly, I saw Jo waving at me from far. " Come here Twinkle, I reserved a seat for you." Jo yelled. " Okay, since you are so kind to reserve a seat for me." I winked. When I take a seat beside Jo, I could feel numerous of scary glares are at me. I was suppose to be nervous and shaking like hell but I am actually very calm?? Well it show that I am already used to it since when we enter the elementary school.

We chat while eating until the bell rings. Then we go back to our classroom. Class is so boring with stupid speech, drama or else I will break down. Finally school ends. The good news is school time is over! But unfortunately the teachers gave us a ton of homeworks. Seriously, who doesn't hate homeworks?

" You are glad that the school is over?" Jo smiles when we are walking toward our bicycles. " Duh" " Ok so are we going to cycle home now?" Jo says with a mischievous look. I caught that look and grinned. " Sure..if you don't mind being left behind." " Hey! Hey! don't you dare to look down at me! I will beat you down!" said Jo. I take that sentence as a challenge.

And then we take our bicycles. Jo's bicycle is red in colour as expected since red is his favourite colour. We raced home. I managed to dodge alot of obstacles called humans, barricade, trees, and more else. And so with Jo. At last, I reached first.

" See? Now you gotta to reward me!" I grinned. " How about going ice skating tomorrow?" said Jo. He is indeed my close friend. He knew that I love ice skating! " I would love too! See you tomorrow!" I wave at him before I enter the house. " Good night! Let hope you wont get freaked by nightmare..again" Jo grinned as he stepped into his house.

When I stepped into the house, my mom ran and hug me so tightly like usual but I could feel that is something wrong. Then I glance at the living room and saw a guy around 50 yrs old. I look at my mom and my mom is about to say something. " Twinkle, that guy is actually your real dad's close friend. His name is Mr. Johnson. He has been finding you and finally ..." She didn't end it.

I feel horrified. Real dad's friend? What is happening and why he wants to meet me? Is he really my real dad's friend and what he wants from me?
