A New Life

I am Keito Kerushi. I'm 16 years old. My mother died when I was still 7 because of an accident. It happened when we were walking home at around 9:00 p.m. All of a sudden a kidnapper was about to grab me. The moment she heard me whimpering, she turned around and pushed me away. I saw the kidnapper holding a pocket knife.

"M-mom! Watch out!"

But I was too late. She was already stabbed at the heart. The kidnapper escaped, leaving the bloody knife beside my mom's body. I was crying for help. She held my hand and said her last words.

She said in a trembling voice, "H-honey... Take c-care of yourself and y-your d-dad ok..? Mommy will m-miss y-you... I h-hope you'll g-grow strong and h-healthy.... I.. love y-you..."

And she was dead after that. I cried in despair. People were surrounding us. The police called my dad and he immediately rushed to the place where the accident occured. He sat beside me, stopping his tears from falling.

The moment mom was buried, I cried hard and dad shed all his tears. We can't bear the pain that mom disappeared from our side.

I'm here now living with my father. Well.. He wasn't a bad guy. He's been kind to me this past 9 years, that's why I loved him.

It was already 3 months after I graduated from the 9th grade. I still don't know if I'm staying from my old school or I should be transfering to a new school because my father will be the one to decide. I've been waiting for my father's decision when finally he came up to me.

"Son I've decided!"

I was a bit nervous of what his decision is. But I still want to know.

"I'll have you transfer to a school!"

And there it was. His decision. To be honest, I still want to stay to my old school. But it was his decision. I should just respect and follow him.

Days have passed and it's time to go to that school where my father enrolled me to. I wore the uniform that he got from that school. The uniform wasn't that bad. I went down to the dining room to have breakfast. I was finishing up in preparing for school when he gave me a map.

I asked, "What's this for?"

He replied, "In case you get lost you can check this out."

I stared at the map for a moment and picked up my bag. I opened the door and waved goodbye at my dad before walking out.

I was following the directions on the map to reach that school. I was very curious what that school looks like. Curious of what kind of students I'm about to meet. I was getting close to that school. I ran down the road and saw the school. The moment I saw the school, I got goosebumps.
