Chapter 1

...***Jade Ulysses POV***...

Spring Holiday is coming. Waterfalls and rivers flow freely, wildflowers begin to bloom, and it’s all set against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains. More cable cars and mountain trains are shut down part of the month for maintenance.

April is spring in Switzerland, a short season between the freezing winter and hot summer. My brother will be arriving soon from school.

"Darling?! Time to eat breakfast. I prepared Berlitz downstairs", my mom at the back of my room door. "Ok mom. Thanks", I answered softly. I'm in my room finishing the book I started last week.

Another knock followed "Yes mom. I'll come down in a while". I didn't realize that a man is standing in front of me now as I'm so focus to what I'm reading. He grab my book. "Brother?!", I shouted out of my excitement and hug him tight. "I thought you'll be arriving tomorrow?!".

"SURPRISE!!, I miss my little Ses dearly, so I came home immediately after school", his intro.

...****************...

After chitchatting with my brother, I decided to go outside the villa. My parents won't let me if they knew it. With my book, I sneakily went through the back door. I always do this behind their back and never caught me.

I went to my favorite swing. This swing is on the top of the mountain and also hanging to the big branch of the tree. For me, it's like the top of the world. I can see the river from the front and some mountains around. Theirs chimney from the villagers down the hill.

As I swing, I can feel the breeze Swiss. I close my eyes, clearing my mind, and dance with the wind. I enjoy the calming wind that goes to my face.

...----------------...

Suddenly the swing rope broke. I ended up on the cliff in front. Luckily I had a rock to hold on to, it was only a small rock to support my weight, so I looked for something else to hold on to so I wouldn't fall.

"HELLPP!! Is there anyone here? BROTHER! MOM! DAD! HELPPP. I don't want to die yet. I don't want to die this way. Please someone, anyone, god help me", I shouted again and again. I don't want to cry, but my tears keep on falling. My hand hurts from holding the small rock. I can't raise my body weight.

I was about to slip when someone grabbed my hand and pulled me up. We fell down, when I got up. My tears stop falling when I realized our position, he was at the bottom and I was at the top.

"Is this they called MUSCLE?", while poking his bicep muscle. " Muscle is a group of muscle tissues which contract together to produce a force", that's the book i read before. He held my hand and shook it. I stood up immediately because of embarrassment.

"Thanks for saving me", while wiping my tears. I only received a nod as if I he don't want it, he immediately walk away. I fixed myself and followed after him. By the way, "I'm Ses, how about you?" putting my hand in front of him. "You're so nosy, just go home".

...----------------...

*Dear Daybook,

My brother arrived home earlier to surprise me today. My day is almost perfect when that swing broke. I almost meet hell today. I am so thankful for that "man" but he's so nasty. He should have said at least his name. But I owe him for saving me.

Pissed off,

Ju
