I have to say,
cupidity had landed me in this situation. I just could not resist
the world, the flesh, and the devil. I looked at the scar on my thigh, only to remind me of the incident.
I regretted for not believing my parents'
altruistic intentions. They were only trying to help me because I was their only child. And yet, I thought they wanted to steal my money. I still could not understand why have I trusted a total stranger instead.
I remembered knowing him through friends. We started chatting in a group and formed a
coterie soon after. "I'm thinking of setting up a business recently. Would you like to invest, maybe a thousand or two?" he asked me that day. Everyone urged me to invest. Thinking that I could trust him and that it is a great opportunity to earn money, I agreed.
I brought the bag of money and met up with him. He brought me to a
cache which he assured that nothing would happen and we could discuss about the details. Suddenly, I felt something trying to snatch my bag of money. I turned, wanting to snatch it back. But I suddenly felt a slash down my thigh and something hard knocking my head. I fainted. The next moment I woke up, I was already in the hospital and all my valuables gone.
I could only regret now. From then on, I realised that I could not trust people too easily.

"I believe in you." Her tears rolled down her cheeks. I looked at her for the last time before i was thrown behind the metal bars. What have i done wrong? The question kept racing through my mind. People have always looked upon me as a
paragon for them, until today. "Time to face the music now," a police officer opened the door.
I stood infront of the high court. Whispering could be heard. I turned around and saw her face. "Thomas Loh, you are now accused for being an
accomplice in the recent kidnapping case." It was a moment of
asperity, I thought, it is not my fault. I remained calm and
persevered my standing of being innocent.
I did not kidnap the child. I was trying to help her instead. I was persuading my friend, Louise to turn in when the girl was kneeling beside me, begging for help. Ifelt irritated and pushed her away when the policemen came in.The debate carried on for a long time and the whispers became louder and louder. I turned around and looked at her again. She seemed really disappointed in me. "With all the evidence we have here, i hereby pronounced that you are not guilty of
complicity." I was shocked. I am free! She rushed to me, cheering, hugging me. For the first time, I felt warmth. I hugged her tightly, and whispered into her ear, "Sorry to have made you worry. I am sorry, Mum."

"Alright, class. Time to hand in your homework," said Miss. Chew in her usual
stentorian voice, when a scream from the next class
nettled her. It is that lousy class, 5M, again, the
bias teacher thought. She always felt that her form class is better than 5M. Unable to tolerate such behaviour, Miss Chew stormed to 5M. When the students saw a teacher coming, everyone
scurried back to their seats. She gave them a lecture about creating a
havoc in class. The students remained silent for the rest of the period.
