Chapter 2: Our Primary school

"Lotus! Lotus! Lotus!!!!!", Nicky shouted at me several times.

"YES!", I reply confusingly.

"What are you thinking about? I try to talk to you, but you were in deep thought."

"..."

"Are you thinking about Pan?"

"...."

"It's been 2 years already, and we will graduate from our primary school this year and..."

"Nicky, I was just thinking about the good old day during these 5 years of primary school." I speak before Nicky can finish her sentence.

"I know and this is our last year together, we are in year 6 now. As you already know that I'm going to study abroad afterwards. I want to create as many memories I can with you."

"..."

"You know, I always here for you."

"Thank you, Nicky. I love you so much", I smile at her like a puppy

"Stop being creepy! Do you want to go to the library this weekend?" Nicky goes straight to her topic

"Sure! And let's grab something to eat before we head home, okay?" I agree and suggest going out and eat together.

"Alright, I'll message you the time and location later. I haven't decided yet."

"OK!" I answer

AT HOME:

"Mom, dad, I'm back!", I tell my parents my present before I head to my bedroom to get changed and help my mom preparing dinner.

"Hi sweetie! Go and get changed. I'm nearly done cooking now" mom shouted from the kitchen.

"Lotus! I have something important to discuss with you after dinner" dad tells me while I walk pass the living room.

"Ok dad" I answer

....

"Mom? Do you know what's going on?" I ask my mom while she is plating the food.

"We will talk after dinner, sweetheart. Relax. Now go and call your dad and your older sister to have dinner."

"Alright" I then carry some food from the kitchen and put them on the dining table before I go to the living room to call my dad and my sister to have dinner, whereas mom is carrying the remaining food and plates to the dining room.

We have dinner silently, which we not usually do. It makes me feel uncomfortable and nervous at the same time. What exactly is going on?

After a tough dinner, I go to dad's working room to discuss the thing that he wants to tell me.

"What? Why all of a sudden?" I accidentally higher my voice because of the surprise that he told me.

"You hear me right, Lotus." dad says calmly

"But why this year? I'm not ready yet. Also, it's in the mid-year now. Why don't you just let me finish this year first?" I strongly oppose to my dad's decision of wanting me to transfer to private school.

"I just want you to get used to it before high school, since this school also provide secondary education."

"But..."

"No more objection. I just want you to have a better life. That's why I do this." dad seems to be mad at me, so he finishes the conversation before he goes out, leaving me alone in the room.
