Me!

I woke up to hear the chipping of the birds again. It was very noisy and the morning weather is chilled as if we were staying on an island. I layed back on the bed and slept again just to be woken up by my brother. I woke up not to be called by my mom this morning but still „Nina!!Nina!!Nina!!! This brat is still sleeping!!! Oh my Gosh,why would I give birth to this thing after nine months of going through all these hard times?!! Nina !! Don’t you hear me??“ here it was ,the call of my mom ,and not even my dad could say a word when she starts to nag.

„Mom , here!“ I said and sat by the table.It was bread and milk again(„Aaacch bread and milk again“) I thought. I finished my breakfast early in three minutes before my siblings finished theirs. ((Just not to forget ,I got three siblings; Josh( my elder brother and my best friend), Cassy ( my only sister,the child after me) Jay ( my little brother)).

I walk to school on foot but I reached earlier than the cart we normally go to school with. It’s a village but many in Ellen have carts like we do. Although my father is a common carpenter and my mom is a maid at the King's palace , but we can be counted at least as a family. Mr. Cane's lesson is the most expensive lesson in Ellen's school but I can still attend it but I am really sorry ,I would turn 12 next month and I would leave school forever and ever!That was my nightmare.

But what can I do? Everyone in Ellen has a special place in his or her family.The first child is the bread winner , the second child is the protector of the family( it worths much in the family) ,the third born ;the cooker of the family( they can be maid for the Kings if lucky).If there are other children apart from these three they start from first to last (they can be anyone they want to be.) And I as a second child,I must leave home to join the army.My wish is to be a medical doctor but it might be just a joke.

In a month, I would turn 12 and would be welcomed by the Second Princess to join the army and be a good protector. And today Mr.Cane’s lesson was the last lesson I would ever take..I don’t even know Kung-Fu, how was I supposed to be an army girl. Sometimes how things are done in Ellen is really unreasonable.I entered the class, the classroom built with woods but kinda comfortable. Some people are happy to leave school and others are sad like I am now.The teacher was happy.“Everything must be fine“ It was written on the big black board that allteachers used.(„It would be“)I thought as I took my seat.

Mr. Cane was so calm.„Life here is nice but is not that easy.Becareful of the people close to you. I wish you all a good life after school and chase better dreams in life. Hope to see you doing good than today one day.“ He said with his sad eyes. We all were very sad but we tried because i believe facts than imaginations.This day also came as fast as i dreamt of. Mr. Cane left the class with the saddest face i had ever seen. I was bored and left the class. I went home drained. The rain outside was so heavy that it could have raised a house.

(„Oh!no! It‘s here“) this was the day and it finally came;
