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.

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?
