Standing on its hind legs, the golden stallion flared its nostrils, veins bulging from his cheeks. His ears are turned back while his noble looking head was held high. His shimmering golden coat glistening in the afternoon sun. Directly in front of him was a snow white stallion, all ready for battle. It was much smaller in size, though as muscular as the golden one. From the expression on the golden's stallion's face, anyone could tell that he was smirking. He even neighed extraordinarily loudly, just to show that he was definitely in favour of the situation.
"BEEP!!!!" The distinctive sound reverberated in the open field, signalling the start of the battle. The two stallions charged at each other and fought mercilessly.
Before long, the beautiful white stallion emerged victorious.

"I can't..I don't want to..Why is everyone against me?" Kay screamed desperately, her fingers clawing at her tangled hair. Kay sat there and sobbed, her simple black shirt and tears reflecting an image of gloom.

"Dad, I think she has severe depression. All I asked her to do was to help me with folding the clothes and... this happened." Kya, Kay's older whispered to her dad. "Maybe that situation in school is more serious than we thought. And... Mom... I didn't want to tell you but look at this." Kay hesitated and gently gripped Kay's hands, turning it to show deep cuts along the part above her wrist. Eyes widening, Kay's Mom bit her lip.

The next day, Kya entered Kay's room. Kay was cleaning the blade of a penknife and had a black hoodie on. Kya sighed and touched Kay's shoulder. "Get off me!" Kay screeched. "Can you stop..stop..STOP IT! I HATE..." Gripping at her black jeans, she trailed off in the middle of her sentence . "Why? What's life. What's me? What's you? What...I don't understand... What?" Kay sat there with bloodshot eyes, mumbling nonsense and swaying side to side. "Here." Kya put a poster for a physiologist on Kay's bed. Glancing around, Kya noticed a comb. Reaching for the comb, Kya attempted to tame Kay's impossible hair but was greeted with a heart wrenching scream. Sighing for the millionth time today, Kya walked out of the door but not before hearing a loud ripping sound and another wail.

"Hey Amy!" I called out just as she was about to leave the front gate.
"Yes," came the reply.
"I'm so sorry, I still haven't completed all the questions for our presentation on the Ancient Civilizations." I stammered. " What?! I finished the whole presentation except for the questions because I felt that you had to do something, Charlotte. Anyways, I gave you a whole WEEK to just type out three questions, is that hard?Oh, and the project is due tomorrow! Good luck to you." She was right, but the three questions had to be hard to see if the audience had been paying attention. I could not think of any. Amy flipped her gorgeous blonde hair and turned away, heading towards her house, While just stood there rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.

" Oi Caitlin, do the laundry today. Or else... You know what will happen," my sister shouted before leaving the house. I sighed as I started doing the laundry.
" Caitlin, isn't it your sister's turn to be doing the laundry?' My mother asked me. I gulped and said," I'm helping her out." My mother nodded and went out of the room. I wanted to tell my parents what my sister, Mia was doing to me but I knew that I would only get into more trouble.
" Why did I do it?" I questioned myself, sighing. Since Mia was 18 years old, she had her own signature. I had failed my Science test and I knew my parents would kill me if they found out. Thus, I had approached Mia for help. As a result, she told me that if I did whatever she said, she would sign my paper.
" How I wish I had admitted the truth. I'm going to get you back, Mia. Watch and see," I mumbled as I did my extra chores, eagerly plotting my revenge on my annoying sister Mia. I just had to look for the perfect time to execute it. I rubbed my hands in glee, thinking of what would happen to Mia if I did it.

"Get that book off your face right this instant! We're going to a party!!!" Nifa shrieked at the top of her voice. Zofia cringed before shaking her head. "Um... no thanks... I don't like loud and noisy, places..." Hearing this, Nifa snorted. "You and your excuses. Out of bed! We're gonna have so much fun!!!" Before Zofia could protest, Nifa grabbed her book and tossed it out of the window. She grabbed at her bed sheet and threw it onto the floor. "COME ON! I don't wanna be late! We're gonna meet so many boys!" Zofia covered her ears before muttering, "This is gonna be a long day."

"Let us invite the head prefect, Alice, on to the stage to give us the opening speech," the principal of the Dinosaur High School, Mr Albert, announced. The audience clapped in enthusiasm. Alice, a kind and helpful girl tiptoed elegantly onto the stage slowly. She was looking to the shiny brown wooden floor, hiding her beautiful face beneath her glittering black hair.
Alice stood in front of the microphone, muttering, "Umm... Good... Good Morning, Mr Albert and Miss Sunshine. Umm... I will now give the speech for the... Umm... For the Opening of the new dinosaur exhibit just beside the school." Alice paused in her speech and back off from the microphone when it screech. Alice face flushed red like a overripe tomato. After awhile, Alice stepped forward and continued.
"I as the head prefect of Dinosaur High School, umm... Shall cut the ribbon at the gate of the exhibit door. Can all of you rise and follow me to, umm... The gate to the exhibit." Alice said silently through the microphone. The audience were screaming across the hall instead of following Alice's instructions. Alice thought, Oh no! No one is following to me. What should I do? Let me tell them again but it will be so embarrassing...
Alice screeched as loud as she would do, "Excuse me, attention please. Let me repeat myself. Please rise and follow me to the gate of the of the new dinosaur exhibit."
The audience went as quiet as a mouse at the sudden screech.

"After my father was diagnosed with cancer, my life changed for the worst. I suffered from depression and my mom went bankrupt after father died. Even the littlest hope was destroyed. Nothing drove away the thoughts of DEATH, DISEASE, DISAPPOINTMENT. My grief stood in my ways and stopped me from doing things. I thought there was no light and lamented to god for creating me. I would be crying uncontrollably every day without leaving a second. Those "Memories" are still haunting me for life.. But I knew it was no point to continue complaining about situations.."  replied Jane with a tinge of sadness in her tone.
" Thank you Miss Jane! I am very sure that it was your perseverence that made you what you are today! Depression to success is not an easy thing but you overcame the odds and ends! Thank you for joining with us today!" the interviewer concluded

"Hey, Bryan. You seem a bit tired today." said John.
"I'm always tired dumbo." Bryan replied. "Completed it yet?" questioned Bryan.
A look on confidence was on John's face. He was always confident. Sometimes too confident.
" Well, whatever it is you are talking about, I had completed it years ago!" exclaimed John.
"Good. Don't call me in the evening or afternoon. I want to get my beauty sleep. Oh yes, I forgot it's due tomorrow. Anyway, can i borrow one of those cushion things you always bring to class?" said Bryan.
John turned pale. He ran towards his bag took 'it' out. He still had not done it. It was at this moment John knew, he screwed up.
"You're still need to give me that soft cushion thing you hairy, big nosed dumbo octopus!" Bryan laughed at his own insult. John stood there, motionless.

" This is going to be a piece of cake to me. I mean like why don't they test on trigonometry" said the smart Alec, Edmund. He yawned as we were going to class for our SA1 test.
" Hey, don't be so presumptuous and boasting about your ability at whatever-you-said-so topic! You know that others are struggling with mathematics! " I berated. Ignoring my speech, he boasted that he knew lots of other enrichment and this was just tip of the iceberg of all the hard sums.
After organizing our bags neatly, we entered our classroom. "I will for sure achieve full marks!" Edmund bragged as we walked in. "I will for sure slap you!" I replied. That shut him up. We took our seats and got our stationeries ready. After the papers were distributed and were given some instructions, the examination commenced.
Beside me was that Edmund. He kept muttering about how simple the questions were. Then, many minutes passed.
Edmund completed and stretched his hands and fingers. "Times up! Put your stationeries down and arrange the following order: OAS,  Paper 2, Booklet A and Booklet B," the invigilator instructed. Edmund yawned again. I sighed and banged my head on the table as he did it.

Leylina's eyes glazed over with tears, as she stared into nothing. Her lower lip quivered as she finally began to speak after all this time.
"I-I'm sorry," she rasped, shifting her gaze to the freshly made cuts in her porcelain skin.
Jason studied her, his face unreadable. He suddenly stood up straight and paced around the cramped room. "This would have happened whether you had been there to witness it or not."
Leylina bit her lip. "How can you you be so sure?" she asked, quivering slightly from the wave of emotions, mostly sadness, that had been continuously slamming into her for a few months.
Though her parents' demise a decade ago had completely changed Leylina, she had become even worse after the kidnapping of her brother, Daniel.
A disturbing smile crept onto Jason's lips, and he opened his mouth to speak.
"That's because I was the one who kidnapped Daniel."

"Um, hello, uh, I am Karen. Oh, um, sorry. Excuse me? Never mind," Karen breathed.
Karen slid her way across the room, making herself as small as possible. Fingering her stationery, she looked for a project partner. She sat down at a table, staring at the white floor tiles. She was a underwater spirit, not like the sun or stars. Avoiding eye contact, she whispered,
"Oh dearie me, I guess I'll need to work alone. As per normal."
Karen The Introvert, fiddled with her nails. She hunched over her work.
"Class, may I have your attention? Please complete this project  by Friday, that is 4 days from now. You should be able to complete it by then, whether you are doing it in a group or not," Mrs Tan looked at Karen. "Every one of you must present your project."
Present? No! Karen's eyes widened. She shivered all over.

"The whole assignment is as easy as ABC," Eva boasted . Upon hearing that, Tommy took out a daft of the plan for the assignment. His tiny blue shirt matched his weak but intelligent body whereas Eva's shirt read 'I am 100% smart' just like her.

"Seriously, Tommy! A draft. I have every tiny bit of information in my head. Why do you need a dictionary when you HAVE a walking one. After all, your handwriting is worse than a doctor's one," Eva remarked as though she is Albert Einstein. A few girls started giggling and giggling at the poor boy.

Those words were bullets to Tommy, who had nothing to say. He hastily grab hold of his heavy bag and his crushed draft as his eyes were bleeding salty liquid.

"What slides?" Liana asked back.
Liana had spent the whole weekend having fun, while Lily worked extremely hard on the recent project their teacher, Miss Lin, had assigned to them.
"The one Miss Lin told us to work on!" Lily replied.
"Unable to recall..." Liana mumbled.
"What? You mean throughout the whole weekend, you didn't contribute to the project?" Lily shouted.
"I am sorry, I totally forgot all about the project..." Liana apologised.
"Well, you better be! This project determines our grade! You may accept a F9, but I don't!" Lily bellowed.
"Okay...I will try to complete it by today." Liana assured Lily.
"Don't you dare "try"! Your only way to get a good grade is to finish it by today," Lily warned, then sighed. "Anyways, let's carry on what we wanted to do here, let's start brainstorming for the posters, okay?"

" Dear, I am doing this for your own good, I don't want you to fall sick again," his mother replied, trying to control her anger. Jake couldn't resist the temptation to eat an ice cream and thus snatched his mother's wallet and ran to the ice cream shop nearby. He licked his ice cream, eye's gleaming. Jake's mom glared at him but did not tell him off. Instead, she muttered to herself "Let's see." The next week, Jake was down with a fever again.

"Yeah, Marie Curie Junior, I have a brain! Since you think you're so smart, why don't you know that everyone has a brain?" Timothy flared up.
"Oh, so you do have a brain! Its empty! Where is the slides that I told you to do?" Sharon answered.
"Why did you even use a pink theme? I told you to use a green theme! You can't even differentiate pink and blue! Our presentation is in ten minutes. And you are wearing a shirt with the words "I don't care anymore"?" screamed Sharon. She smoothened her formal-looking skirt and combed her hair.
"Its the only clean shirt I have! And besides, all my clothes are dirty." Timothy remarked.
"Well, good luck presenting it ALONE!" She stood up, packed her bag and strode away elegantly out of the laboratory.
