School had just finished, as I stretched myself, standing from my seat. My face had a huge grin planted on it as I packed my bag to find my girlfriend. Studying at different schools, we always had trouble finding time meeting each other, but whenever we did, we would always make use of our time to the maximum. Feeling slightly fatigue from the short run, I looked up to realise a familiar face looking at me.
Looking at the sight, I couldn’t help but just admire the view. Her hair was a rich shade of mahogany. It flowed like waves, enhancing her bright porcelain-like skin. Her eyes, framed by long lashes, were a bright, blue and seemed to brighten the world. A straight nose, full lips - she seemed the picture of perfection. Her name is Cai Hong and I could be proud to say that she was my girlfriend. Being a virgin for close to 18 years, the thought of my birthday coming up tomorrow left me exhilarated. Promised the most amazing night, I could already feel my ‘little brother’ standing.
Afterwards, we left to go eat and also watched a movie. Even though I wasn’t really interested in the movie, just being beside Cai Hong made me happy enough. Finishing the movie at around 5, we still had a little time before going home so we went shopping. Half an hour past in a blink of an eye as Cai Hong was still trying on clothes after clothes, asking for my opinion, and boy I must say it was quite taxing for me .
Suddenly, I noticed a strange antique-selling shop which was just across the road. ‘Strange’, I thought as I became more and more interested in it. Being raised in a family that sold antiques cause me to have and avid interest in all types of different antiques and it was the same this time. Giving Cai Hong a heads up, I went to the antique shop as I realise the uniqueness of it. Clad in black, the whole shop looked menacing and scary, but I walked in anyways.

Without anyone in the shop, the shop looked haunted as I turned my head left and right to look, before seeing a figure standing behind the counter. Dressed in a somewhat weird way, I ignored the strange look as I walked up to her. ‘Is there anything interesting in here?’ I asked. Pointing at a ring that looked somewhat ordinary, the weird store owner said ‘It is said this ring can only be possessed by those who were fated to receive it, if not the ring would forever remain on the hunt, looking for its true owner.’ Not believing any of the bizarre things the shop owner said, I was still indeed intrigued by the ring and decided to get it. ‘Hope you’re the one he is looking for,’ were the last words I heard before leaving the shop.
Wearing the ring, i waved and walked towards Cai Hong, before the thoughts of the ring suddenly disappeared from my mind instantly as I saw a truck the size of 4 normal car bulldozing its way through the road as if a starving bull chasing down its meal straight towards Cai Hong. Frantic feelings engulfed me as I felt helpless, the only thought I had was that I needed to save her. Adrenaline pumped through my body as I felt the sudden impulse, making me jump to push Cai Hong aside. All I could think of at that moment was ‘SAVE HER!’
Afterwards, all I could feel was sticky fluid flowing down my head as I laid on the floor like a dead fish. Feeling extremely tired, I closed my eyes as I thought to myself ‘At least she’s OK.’ There I took my last breath.
