Flora POV

I recall the time when we had a wonderful but scary adventure when I was in high-school. It was about someone special to me, I was saddened that something…. Hold on a minute, I am getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning. The very, very beginning. Here is the story you never knew.

I wake up to the sound of birds chirping and the breeze of the wind that is so calming. I felt so comfortable in my bed. I was just daydreaming until my phone had a sudden ring. It read "First Day of School." Oh my god! Wait, what time is it? 5:30AM? Oh, I'll take a bath now. I take my towel and head downstairs I see my dad heading outside with a hood and a suitcase. I prepare myself for school, I bade my farewell to my mom and Miele. Off I go, first day.

I finally arrived at school. What is my schedule? What time is it? 6:00AM, good. It's still early, I'll ask for my schedule.

"Good morning Ms?" I said.

"Diana, you can call me Ms. Diana. How may I help you today….Ms. Flora?" Diana asked.

"I need to get my sch...sch..schedule. Yes, schedule.." I asked hesitantly.

"Oh, you're the new student? Here is your schedule. Have a nice day Ms. Flora." Diana said smiling.

"Thank you Ms. Diana." I replied humbly.

I have my schedule, that's a good thing. Hold on a minute, who are those over there? Do I know them? Oh! They were the ones who teased me last time. Grr…I need to pass them though. I'll hide myself using my hood.

"FLORA?! What are you doing here?! We missed you!" Bloom shouted as she ran to me.

"Flora! How are you? Why did you transfer last, last year? I missed you." Helia said, making me blush.

They liked me? I thought they didn't like me, they teased me before then I left this school. I'll ask them….maybe I shouldn't….arghh...I'll ask them.

"You...yo...you like me? I th..thoug...ht...thought that you didn't…." I said feeling nervous.

"Of course we did Flora! We missed you so much!" Aisha and Bloom chorused.

"Sorry for teasing you. We didn't know you will take it take..." Stella was cut off by the sound of the bell ringing.

Oh, it's….Math time. Hmm, they're still talking. I'll leave them to it.

-At the Classroom-

This is the...woah! This classroom is sick! I'll sit at the back. I don't want to really talk to the 'friends' who greeted me now. There they are! They're looking for me, I'll appear busy. Gahh! Where is my Math…

"Ms. Flora, will you start the introductions?" Sir Alvin questioned.

"Su….su..sure Sir.." I mumbled.

"I am Flora Natura. I am 18 years old and my birthday is on March 1." I commented.

"Okay then Ms. Flora, you may take your seat." Sir Alvin said.

Somehow I remained standing for some reason.

"Ms. Flora? You may take your seat now." Sir Alvin clarified.

"Oh, pardon me sir. I'm sorry." I apologized.

The introductions came along. I heard someone calling my name. Who is that? I am sure I know that voice, who, who who, oh! It's Musa!

"Flora! I just wanted to say sorry that we teased you. Like Stella said, we never thought you would take it that way. Please Flora, I want to be your friend. Forgive me? Please? Musa begged.

"Fine Musa, just make sure you DON'T under any circumstances do that water prank again." Flora demanded.

"O...okay Flora." Musa said giggling at the thought.

"Let's go then, as new friends. Shall we?" Flora said smiling.

"Ye...yes let's go." Musa replied reluctantly.

We walk outside and see the others. They look at Musa and I then they smile. They hugged me and gave their apologies to which I accepted. We headed towards the canteen. We talked about so many things. We headed towards our next class which is English. We positioned ourselves near each other. The teacher came in and she looked very, very. I mean SUPER familiar. Wait a minute! How could I forget? Mom! I ran towards her forgetting everyone else there.

"Mom!" I exclaimed, hugging her tightly while the other students were giggling.

"Hello Flora. You can go back to your seat now. Your classmates are looking at you." Alyssa whispered.

I went back to my seat and saw a hooded man from outside the window. He has something that he pulled from his briefcase. That briefcase looks familiar. He is targeting someone. Who is it? I then

here a BANG! I saw my mother laying lifeless on the floor, bleeding, in pain.

"Guys! I need help here!" I shout in horror as my friends carry my mom. We headed for the hospital.

"Doctor Gerard, will she make it?" I asked, concerned for my mother.

"We don't know yet, we will make sure you will be updated as soon as possible." Doctor Gerard replied.

We were worried, especially me. Just seeing my mother there is super saddening. Who knows what happened to her? The doctors won't tell us at all. That upsets me. They won't even tell my mom's condition. It may scare us but still, it's better to know than to just sit there having thoughts. I would rather have scary facts on my mind than nice doubts. At least I know that it's true and not something that I should really think about. I hope my mom will survive. My mom taught me how to do things if she passed away, but now is too early. I thought this day will go just fine, and to realize what situation I am actually in is super different to what I expected this day will be. Here come the doctors, I hope they tell us actually what has happened to my mom. I look at her which might be one of the last times I'll ever see her again.

"So...how's my mom? Is there anything wrong with her?" I asked, fearing my answer,

"I am very sorry Ms. Natura." Doctor Gerard started. "but Mrs. Natura didn't make it. She is now considered "dead."
