It’s come true

Today my cousin is going to show me a 4 stars horror movie” The Ring” and we are going to watch it at 12 p.m. I never had seen horror film before so I was very exciting. We repaired everything like popcorn, coca, and pillows. Now are 11:55p.m, everybody had gone to sleep and we are ready to watch it. The film started, horror sound coming out, bloody face, scary pictures appeared, the sound of screaming, and blood all over the place. Those make me scared, startle and terrify. I ask my cousin to turn off the sound so we can just watch the actions only, it make us less fear. We want to stop watching it, but we want to know the end do we keep watching. Finally it is the end; my cousin and I are sighing with relief. It is 2:30pm now, I decide to watch cartoon to help me feel better after the horror movie. But suddenly I remember that tomorrow is Monday and I have to go to my new school so I go to bed. When I walk along to my bed, I feel like someone is walking behind me. I turn back and nobody is there. I keep walking, that feeling happen again. This time I’m not turning back and run as fast as I can to my bed, lie down and close my eyes immediately. I try to forget it, but I cannot. I scare that tonight I will have a nightmare. But after a whole, I was in a weird place. It doesn’t look familiar to me. I don’t know why I’m here, I didn’t go anywhere, and I was in my bed. I don’t know that this is real or it just a dream, so I slap very hard to my face to wake me up. I keep slapping, but I cannot wake up. I stared to scare. I look around that place to see what this place is. Everything are cover by black, accept a big building with 7 floors. Its name is AIS. I don’t know what AIS stand for, so I started to think. Is it standing for ABCs Information Services, Academic Intervention Services, or American Indian Services…I stop thinking for a moment and start to think. Why I have to think about those AIS words, it is no use. So I start to go into that building to find out more. Inside it has a little bit look like a hotel but is not. I go upstairs; there are some classes, lockers, and offices. So this is a school. Why this school is build in a black, dark and scary place like this? Or it maybe uninhabited. I’m going up to the third floor, it is the same. So I use the elevator and go up to the 6 floor. The 6 floor this cafeteria. I go around the floor and I see the stair. I walk up and see dance room, girls gym and boys gym. At the end of that floor, there are table tennis, soccer tables and pull table. Now I feel hungry so I down to the cafeteria. In the kitchen have some breads, I take some and sit down and eat. When I eat, I feel like someone is watching me. I started to terrify put some breads in my pocket and go to the elevator. While waiting for the elevator to go down, I look at the mirror and see something. It not very clear, I stare at it and try to figure out what is it. It comes closer but it in the mirror. That thing starts to be clearer and clearer. Finally I almost can see. Suddenly the elevator stop, the light is off, everything cover with dark, that thing disappear. I feel scare and I scream really loud. But nobody come. The mirror turn bright and a video appear. In the video has well, a woman combing her hair… Maybe that video was about someone life. After a while, the video end and disappear. The elevator working and light on again. In the mirror, that thing appears again. But this time I can see it easily. It is a girl with very long black hair and white dress. Her face is white like she had been drowned. She come closer to me and say, “You have seen that video, so you will live seven more days. But don’t worry about it, you going to die NOW!” The girl slips two hands, her nails grow long and ready to prick my neck. Suddenly, the elevator door opens. I run as fast as I can out of the elevator. That girl flies out immediately and catches me. She use her nail prick my neck. I feel awful and really hurt. She takes her nail off. Then she pricks and takes out my and organs. Each time she pricks, I scream and it feels more awful then hell. The last part she pricks is my heart. When she ready to prick, suddenly I wake up. My whole body gets sweat, I sigh with relief because I was a nightmare. I look at the clock, it is 8:30 a.m. I’m late for school and today is my first day at the new school. So I take a bath and my mom drives me to school. When I get to my new school, it looks familiar but I cannot remember. I say good bye to mom and go inside. Nobody is in there, and then I remember that I have no school today. We start study next Monday. I want to go home now but my mom is go away. Now I want to see the school so I go up stairs, to the first and second for. Then the sixth and seventh floor. When I take some bread and go inside the elevator. I feel like I had been done this before. Then I remember that is it exactly like my dream. I scare and terrify, then ……..

Tet holiday is a really special time in Vietnam. Other words to call it are Lunar New Year. Red is symbolic for lucky. So when we have Tet, everybody decorated their house really beautiful with red color, apricot blossom, and Peach blossom. “Banh chung”is one kind of food that cannot be indispensable when Tet come. Banh chung was made from sticky rice from the outside. Inside it have pork and green peas. Not only banh chung, we have more special food for Tet like jam (Gingerjam, Sugar-preserved lotus seeds, Sugar-coated groundnuts), melon seed, pickled scallion heads, etc. In Tet, we have a lot of activities like go to grandparents, kindred house to wish them a Happy New Year, older people have to give younger people or children lucky money (in Vietnamese it calls “Tien li xi”.), play card, bingo, etc. All of that are special culture, activities and food when Vietnamese have Tet.
