The Risk

The Risk

 It is an amazing story, but it also involves a risk for one girl, Katherine, who went to a public high school. The school mates always made fun of her, because she was quiet and weird compared to other people, but she was not alone. Katherine was living in London with her mother. Katherine and her mother are got along together with and always stay with each other. The mother raised one daughter by herself, because her husband had already died a long time ago, so of course Katherine did not know about her father. She just knew his face, because she had found a family photo when she was a baby.

 One day, she went to school and was taking a class as usual. However suddenly her phone was ringing during the class time, and her mother said “please come back home soon!” She thought it must be a problem of great urgency, so she cut the class and run to her house. When she arrived at her house, there were her mother and grandparents there. Their faces were so serious, and then her mother said “Actually your father is president of our country, but we had not revealed the secret. However, your father suddenly changed his mind, and he want to reveal the secret.” Katherine was really devastated, because she had thought her father had already died before her mother revealed the secret to her. Mother said “If your father reveal the secret, you must move to another city a few month later and our life will have changed.” She really wondered about should she reveal the secret or not. The secret will makes a lot of risks for her and her family, because she really love mother, so she do not want to ruin her life.

 Finally, she is convinced of her mind. A few months later Katherine moved to another city with her family.
