" A New Me "

It was a long time ago when the dust settle in the eyes of a young energetic boy named, Prince. He never knew that the shadow of the dark has a secret place for him.

It all started when Prince was a little child, he lived with his parents in a nearby community not too far from his school. Prince was a good boy at home but sometimes when he goes to school, he miss behave and fright with his friends, his parents never knew that he was growing up badly. One morning, Prince left his house very sad. His father denied him from bringing lunch to school. saying he was a big boy now. That day was like a hell for Prince, he grieve in his heart while on his way to school. At school, Prince was very quiet he sat in his seat and listen to his teacher like he was so curious to learn But nothing was entering his head. He was not focus.

During recess everyone went out to eat and play but Prince was not thinking on recess, he was thinking on trouble but no one disturb him or look for this problem. While sitting he decided to play ball with his friends. While playing Prince kick one of his friends leg and didn't say, I'm sorry. Now everyone on the field knew he was up to something. After a while, Prince kicked the ball with the intention of scoring but the ball went in the bush. He knew that he was suppose to go for the ball but he said he was not going for it. In a twinkle of an eye one of the boys hit his head and said go for the ball but Prince ignore him. Another boy came and hit him in the chest, saying we need our ball back. With the two hits from the boys, Prince went at the back of the school building in a desperate anger. He took pieces of rocks in his hand with the intention of hurting any of the boys. He came running from the back of the school building and landed in front of the boys. With a brave heart, Prince took a rock and hit the head of the boy that hit him on his head and he ran away. He was not feeling sorry for what he did. Prince left the school and ran home.When he reach home he met his mother cooking in the kitchen. Hello mama, he said. Why are you back from school so soon, his mother asked. I'm not feeling too well, he said. His mother told him to go inside and rest a little bit.
