Breaking The Laws

Leaving Behind Good Memories

My name is Daniella. I'm 16 yrs old. I live in Ottawa. I'm a single child. My life is normal and I'm really happy with it.

I have 3 family members my mom, my dad, and me.

Sometimes I do think that it would be great if I had a sibling but I dont have to think about sharing ice cream and do all sorts of things a sister should do.

Everything was as usual my mom was cooking us dinner and I was studying and my dad was about to come from his office.

After 10 min...

Me-Good evening Dad.

Dad-Good evening sunshine, where is your mother?

Me-She's in the kitchen.

Dad-Hey honey look I have a surprise for you, I have just got promoted and we're leaving and we're going to Taiwan. Wohoo..

And that's when everything changed...

After a Month..

We moved to Taiwan and settled. My dad is happy about his promotion and my mom is happy too .

I got admitted to xx university of Taiwan.

I thought different country, different people It'll take some time to fit in but I will eventually.

But it didn't turn out like that. Whenever I tried to talk to someone they would ignore me and no one actually paid any attention to me. So just like that I was lonely with no friends.

But after some time a foreign exchange student came in our class and he was descent, polite and he actually talked to me.

(Probably because he sat beside me 😅)

His name was Zohan.

He was muslim, his mother died when he was born and he lives with his father.

Since then we became good friends.

We both often relied on each other whenever we got into trouble at school.

We decided to meet at the usual place- Huang Ji Cafe.

When I got there I saw him talking to some other girl, I walked towards them.

She was Zohan's friend, and they were really close which made me a bit uncomfortable.

I don't know why.

Then as the time passed I started to realise that I like him.

I decided to confess to him although I knew it would be dangerous as all the girls were crazy about him.
