No Time

Chapter 3: First day of school

I've saved up 10,000 yuan over this year. That should be about $1,560 in U.S. dollars.

As a 6 year old, I go to kindergarten in the elementary school now. It's the same school that my Ge goes to.

Xiao Lai has to go to daycare alone while my little sister, Shui Bing, has to stay home with mom.

This worries me a lot.

But Xiao Lai is a kid with a much higher IQ than me, so he'll be fine on his own. He's pretty responsible.

For Xiao Bing... mom hasn't started being abusive yet thankfully.

So, today's my first day of school. I hope it goes well.

"Hello, class! I'll be your teacher for the whole year! Please address me as Ms.Sun. Now, we'll be playing a game to introduce ourselves. It's called two truths and one lie! After saying your name, say two things that you did and one thing that you didn't. And the other classmates have to guess one which is a lie. Ok, let's start with this young lady over here!"

Ms.Sun is still as enthusiastic as always. She was also my 5th grade teacher, so I still remember her pretty well, and she's currently teaching children how to lie... wow...

"Um, my name's Li Qing, nice to meet you guys. Um, I can ice-skate, I ate a frog before, I can play the violin."

Li Qing ate a frog before. She can play the violin. She can't ice-skate.

I already know the answers but I'll let the other kids try it out.

As soon as they figured it out, girls and boys alike swarmed around.

"Did you really eat a frog?"

"Wasn't it disgusting?"

"Ew, why would you do that?"

Li Qing succumbed to the pressure and started crying.

Typical first day of school...

Everyone gradually introduced themselves and it soon became my turn.

"I'm Shui Yu. I have 1,000 yuan. I have 4 siblings. I'm hungry."

Everyone laughed at the last one and tried guessing.

"You can't have 1,000 yuan, right?"

I faked a smile, as always, and nodded slightly. But in truth, they were all lies.

Instead of 1,000 yuan, I have 10,000.

Instead of 3 siblings, I have 3 and a 1/2. My half-sister should have been born by now.

And how could I ever be hungry? To prepare for the apocalypse, I already trained my stomach. During the apocalypse, you wouldn't be able to eat every day. Starving became a daily feature.

Who would find out though?

Diriring!

The school bell rang and it was time for lunch.

Ms. Sun led us to the cafeteria and we were given trays filled with school lunch.

They looked as disgusting as ever...
