Chapter 1- The Announcement

Kristine woke up from her dreams. Her clock beside her bed told her that it was 4:30 a.m. She got out of bed yawning and went to the bathroom and started fixing herself for school. "Kristine! Kristine! Are you already awake?" asked her aunt. "Yes! I'm already awake" replied Kristine. "Okay just be finished before 5:00 or else you'll get late and start to forget things again" her aunt joked around. "You might forget some things again and I don't want to see you running back home to find out you left your notebook, shoe or anything" her aunt added. "Ok! Ok! I'll hurry up" Kristine replied back. After a few minutes she got out and dressed quickly and made herself neat.

"Aunt Lisa, I'm going out now to school" Kristine said as she went out of the gate. Kristine now walks out to her school which is just three blocks from her new home. She now lives with her Aunt Lisa's family. She is now being taken care of her Aunt Lisa after her parents die in China fighting for their country when China was being slowly controlled by the communists.

"Kristine! Look where you're going." Kristine was surprised to see Faye in front of her. "Hey are you yourself now?" asked Faye. "Yeah! I'm just thinking about my parents again" answered Kristine. "Well you've got to get back to yourself before our class starts and look over there were nearly late" Faye laughed out as they started running towards their last class. "Okay class. Our school had decided to have your exposure trips next week" the teacher said. The class shouted for joy in union, "No classes next week!" "Okay settle down for a while and hear the rest of the details" the teacher interrupted. "We are going to the Home of the Poor, there we will be able to realize more the people in our society" the teacher added. Then the bell ringed the time the students went home.
