Life in New York City has been fun, especially when I have to play with my cousins almost everyday.

There was much freedom over here. Uncle Kelvin and his wife had to go to work every morning, returning at night.

So, there’s much I can do without anyone ordering my life. I’m so f*cking happy.

I’ve finally left home but I’ll admit, I miss it so much.

The sun has been so hot since morning and my head is almost burning like hell.

From the inside I can feel it’s hotness. The children were asleep and I was the only one awake.

I went to the pool side, sitting beside it. I watch a lot of children walk to school, even some that had to be driven by their parents or the school bus.

I’m fourteen and I should probably be at my second grade in high school.

Why do I feel like I’m left alone? Why do I still feel like I’m missing something in my life?

I waited for night to approach so I can talk to uncle Kelvin about putting me in one of the schools.

I never expected him to listen to me so easily. I was expecting him to yell and scream the ground upside down but instead, he just said, ” I was expecting you to ask me that since you came. ”

Really? I mean, like seriously?

So if I hadn’t asked, he’ll think I’m less interested in studying. Thank goodness for having a smart brain.

” And I forgot to ask, why do you always have that cloth tied on your wrist? ” He asked. ” You’ve been having it on since you came here? ”

I touched my wrist, shooking my head. ” It’s nothing. ”

” Are you sure? ”

” I uhmm… I had a bruise, it’s permanent and… I wouldn’t want anyone to insult or make fun of me because of it. ”

” No one is making fun of you here. ”

” I’m not talking about in here, I’m talking about outside. You know, especially now I’ll be entering into a new school. ”

” Can I take a look? ”

I looked away, I didn’t want to say no but I made sure it was written on my face.

” Are your parents aware of this? ” He asked and I shook my head.

” Are you scared I’m gonna tell them? ” I shrug. ” It’s okay, it’s our little secret now. ”

I stretched out my arm and he slowly untied the fabric from my wrist. His eyes widened in surprise, ” You got bitten? ” I nodded. ” Since when? ”

” Two years ago. ”

” What bit you? A dog? ”

I shook, ” No. ” The memories ran in my head, displaying how everything went. ” I got bitten by a wolf. ”

” Is it big or small? ”

” I don’t know, big I guess. ”

He sighed, nodding his head. ” Okay. Like I said, I promise not to tell your parents or anyone about this. It’s our little secret, okay? ”

” Okay. ” I said with a nod.

The days went by and I was finally admitted into school. It was too difficult to cope with the teachings but I have to.

I’m under probability this session, and if I make it through successfully, I’ll be promoted to the next class.

But if I fail, I’ll have to repeat second grade or rather go to first grade, and I wouldn’t want that.

I was beginning to love my classmates, it will be so shameful of me if I have to repeat and watch them go higher.

Even till now, I can’t stop loving the reason as why I left home to America.

I haven’t seen such type of bruise before. It’s two years now and she’s still okay.

I had this belief that when bitten by an animal, it’s either one possess it’s blood in his veins or either… Die.

But she was just okay.

I opened my laptop, searching for any related effects of a wolf’s bite. I saw things that are similar to my belief but… Why hasn’t she become like them?

The question kept poundering in my head, that I almost forgot that dinner was ready.

My wife, Tanya thinks it’s something that has to do with my work, and it’s just okay for her to think like that.

That mark means something, something I have to find out about.

And if my instincts is actually right about this, then I’m left with no option than to believe that this is fate.

What is this fate he’s talking about?
