Kristal P.O.V:

*yawn* Hi I'm Kristal, I just woke up from a great nap. Today is my birthday, June 13. I wonder what my parents got me. As I walk slowly to my door, opening it carefully, I saw a giant punching bag and 2 pairs of boxing gloves, next to it is a note saying:

Dear Kristal,

It's your 3rd birthday in this foreign country and we never really got you a great gift, so here's our gift to you! Hope you like it!

sincerely yours,

mom, dad and your little brother

I was squealing in my head hoping to not wake my parents but I was brought back to earth when I smelt fire and smoke. Oh my gosh! The whole apartment was burning! I managed to get my gifts, my clothes, some money, my iPad and my mom's phone and the chargers and drop them from our balcony, I jumped down from there and immediately called 911. When they got there, I was terrified. My family was still in there. I kept calm and asked the firefighters if my family was okay. Unfortunately, they didn't escape soon enough and died. I had school today and already was changed so I went to school, shock and sadness written all over my face. I was still only 12 years old and already lost my parents and only brother. At school, my friends kept asking me if I was okay but I acted as if I were okay. My enemies, however, didn't care. That is, until I broke down in front of Kris Jan, one of the people that I dislike and dislike me. I thought it was really embarrassing, my first time crying in school. In front of my enemy no less. What shocked me was that Jan went up to me and hugged me, comforting me and asking what happened. Then I started telling my story, everyone, even the teacher, listened. They all hugged me after that. I was okay, but one problem, I don't have lunch or a place to stay. As the lunch bell rang, Jan and Justin, another one of my enemies, came up to me and said they were going home for lunch and asked me if I wanted to come along since our parents were really close. I only managed a small nod and went with them. After arriving at Jan's house, they both explained my story and after talking with his parents, Jan came up to me. " hey Kristal, don't be so sad, you're going to stay with us now. Okay?" Was all I heard from him before I went into darkness. Probably because of the stress.
