Section B : Continuous Writting
(Narrative Essay - Write a story beginning with "The sky was dark....")
The sky
was dark. I
had to hurry
home from school.
I waited for
the bus at the bus stop.
There was no
one, nothing and
the night was as dark
as ebony. Suddenly,
it was raining
cats and dogs.
I sat calmly
and waited for
the bus as
calm as a cucumber.
Then, the thunder
roared and the
lightning struck. I
was taken aback
for it occurred
out of the
blue. I felt
something was watching
me and I looked
around anxiously. I
felt goosebumps all
over me. I wanted
to investigate behind
the scene. I
strolled around the
bus stand. I
tried to be
as brave as
a lion. I
looked at my
watch and it
was 10:15 p.m..
I saw a
shadow passing by
me. I glanced
at my watch
again and it
was gone. “What?
Wait, where is
my watch?”. I said anxiously
and I was
afraid as a mouse.
I
hugged my bag
like I was
hugging my teddy
bear before I go to
sleep. That watch
was a branded
watch, the new
and improved Swatch
digital designed. I
became frustrated. Something
or someone took
my watch just
now. A very
cunning thief maybe.
I was cold
and I just
stared at the
drops of rain.
I also looked
at the puddle
in front of
me. It was
as clear as
crystal. After that,
I thought about
my late father.
He always reminded
me about my
studies and often
told me some
ghost stories. He
was a good
Samaritan. Back when
I was a
kid, everybody in
my village loved
him. He was
the headman. He
had the Midas
touch, he always
helped my mother
at the stall.
I miss him
so much…
While I
was building castles
in the air,
something came near
me from the
dark. I tried
to find my
torchlight in my
bag. I had
cold feet. When
I found it,
I turned it
on and directed
it towards that
‘something’ and it
screamed because of
the light. I
was shocked. It
was not a
something but it was a
someone, that someone
was a she. Min Yung, she is
one of my
classmates. Everybody in
my school likes
her, she is
a kindhearted person.
They said that Min Yung
looks like Kwon
Yuri, one of the Girls
Generation members. She
smiled at me
after I put away
the light. Then,
she sat beside me on the bench.
“Oh dear, Yuri…erk,
Min Yung sit
beside me”, I
was as red
as a beetroot.
A
famous girl sat
beside me, of
course I got
so excited, thrilled
and happy like I was
on top of
the world. Then,
she broke the
ice between us.
She asked me
about my studies.
In my excitement,
I could not let any
word out of
my mouth. I
felt very nervous.
This is how
it felt when
we stepped in
an interview? She
smiled and waited
for my answer.
After that, she
laughed softly and
nodded as she
tried to understand
me. She said
that every guy
could not say
anything when she
asked them questions.
So, she understood
me. She added,
“You’re cute when
you’re nervous”. Then,
I woke up
from my sleep.
I looked around.
I was in
my room. I looked on
my side table.
I did not
loss my watch,
there it was,
a blue and
white watch. So,
it was just
a dream. Hm…
I walked myself
to the bathroom
and bathe. I
prepared myself for
school.
During recess,
I thought about
my dream last
night. I played
with my “nasi
lemak”. “Hey, eat
properly! Don’t play
with your food”.
I was startled
and I looked
around me. It was Min Yung.
I was mesmerized.
She took her
place beside me.
She is as
beautiful as an angel. That
moment she asked
me the same
question as last
night, in my
dream. Then again, I
could not say
a word. She
giggled and said,
“You’re cute when
you’re nervous”. My
eyes were wide
opened. I was
shocked beyond belief.
Wow! Deja vu!
