Finally, it is the end of this grade last day of the school. When the new semester start, I will no longer a middle school student instead I am going to be a high school student. I can't wait for the high school. There will be a few more years left before leaving the school life. To be exact three years of high school and the sayonara.
A new start for a new adventure.
Anyway, my name is Ivelyn Ying. I was born in a middle class family and being the last child in the house make me being the most pampered by both my parents and my older siblings. They let me do almost everything I want as long as it is safe and will not cause any of them trouble.
All of us live happily and peacefully in a small town just next to the city. This decision was made by both my parents just so we can save up on our living expenses on house rent. Staying their first home that they bought during their collage days was not so bad.
For me, they both make a wonderful decision to move here. It has the best surrounding to stay for a long term. With five bedroom, three bathroom, a kitchen, a living room and a basement is not so bad. My siblings and I get our own bedroom space to keep our privacy for ourselves is the best. What's more to ask for, right?
I used to heard from my classmate that they had to share bedroom with their younger siblings make them all have a fight at least twice a day. In my case, I was grateful that I don't have to face such thing.
However, after I learn about my family situation before I get to understand a word, I came across a secret that all of them had been keep from me make me felt uneasy. It was as if I come across a Pandora box with unknown consequences and outcome. Will it either be good or a bad one, I don't want myself to get involve or else I might go rampage.
But, since it happen way for a long time and we already moved quite a few times, they will forget about it all together and would not found out current whereabouts. I hope that it will not affect my future.
Finger cross. Please. Please make it come true. I want to be selfish for once.
Hopefully my wish will come true and it will be one of the most beautiful and meaningful memories in my life before leaving the life of a teenager.
Whatever it is, let's forget about those trouble. After all I just want to welcome my adulthood in my way. Hehehe ... Can't wait for the time of my wish to come true.
Why? Why do I want to welcome my adulthood with open heart and mind?
Because it means that the days for me to come clean about all the secrets I kept all this past two years nearing. I will finally get to share with my family about my little adventure all this years by myself with them.
I hope they both will be really proud of me. And let me do those things that I really, I mean really, really love to do. I mean it.
I know that making the decision to keep this things behind their back is quite ... let say disrespectful to them. I know that but me, being myself there is nothing wrong with it, right?
Urghh... Never mind that small thing like that. Let's just forget all the negativity, and put all focus on the bright side of this journey. Spread the positivity, always. If they disagree, all I need to do is to persuade them that I will make sure in a good hand.
After all, what is the use of this brilliant brain I was born with. All I need to do is show them the proof and they will surely agree with me.
Leaving the school gate and walking my way home, with all the plan for the summer holiday in mind make my heart blooming with happiness. I just can't wait to reach home and start all the activities I have in my mind.
I greets almost everyone that I know and I walked passed from the moment I step out of the class to the main gate, humming happily. Many might not know, I even know the school security guards. As to why ... that is a secret that one should keep by themselves.
Although there will be quite bothersome for me to come up with excuses to leave the house starting tomorrow... and the rest of the holiday. *Sigh*
Whatever it is, I don't care. I will not trouble myself thinking about the pros and cons of having holiday. All I know at the moment is that I can put all my focus on a few things less including study. I mean... I like study a lot and I, of course excel in every subject being push on me, it just that it takes a toll on me, my body and mind.
So... I am going to have quite free time soon, why not replaced them with something that will get me healthy all the time. Physically and mentally. And I will need to find some ways to distract my family from my "over" spending lifestyle with the small amount of allowance I get from my parents before any of them get suspicious.
I hope they will not notice all the things I will do in the near future. And to avoid that it seems like I need to come up with some cover up story or plan.
Walking down the sidewalk and make a left turn at the junction, I tried to squeeze my brain to come up with a perfect plan. But at the moment, all I have is that… part-time job. But, if I do need to do that it will make my schedule quite chaos and hectic. However, there is no other way but that.
As soon as I reach my house block, my body felt cold and I shiver all of a sudden. I was as if they have a bad premonition of something bad about to happen to myself or maybe to my family or even someone close to me.
Unfortunately, all those sign were ignore by my stupid self. Only about a few houses away from my home that I realize that I should have not do that and I regret myself for it. Those decision about to change all my plans and perhaps my whole life.
* * *
With so many thought in Ivelyn mind, she unconsciously ignore everything in her surrounding her. She had various way to make things goes her way. But each of them have their own weakness that will effect the other steps. Only when there is a few feet from the driveway of her house that she come back to her sense.
The sight in front of her house make her whole body chill run down her bone. There were few cars lining up in front of her house that she somehow felt very familiar off.
All of a sudden, a memories of when she saw all of them clicked in her mind. She can't believe that they all successful in tracking her. All those sleepless night and burn night oil turn useless. She already work her ass off to wipe any traces of her family and her whereabouts from him. How in world did he made it here?
In front of her house, the man that she tried to hide from finally found her after more than a week since the last time she come across him. A-and of course, along with his entourage. This going to make her family famous in the neighbourhood for quite a while.
The last time she come across them is during her working hour at the café she work as a part-timer. Ivelyn accidentally hear her name in their conversation and she immediately come up with a decision to resign right away after her shift ends that day.
She was hoping that it will give her some time to find a place to stay and hide before it is too late. But all of her effort turn vain as they found her house already. And she already forget about her plan. Her instinct at that very moment was to run away and left without being notice by anyone.
As for her parents, they probably still not at home just yet. And she can told them that she will sleepover at a friend's house for a few night to celebrate the starts of holiday.
When she was about to turn around a make a run, a man in full black suit step out of one of the cars. He turn his head around and accidentally make an eye contact with Ivelyn. Those sharp gaze make Ivelyn body freeze in place as her mind was overwhelmed with nervousness.
The man pull a smirk when his eyes land on her as if saying 'Gotcha girl', now you have nowhere to go.
Oh God. I am doom.
Good bye, my plan. Good bye, my future.
