ZANDRO POV

"Mommy, please tell daddy that I don't really want to leave. That he should just let me stay here at home," I cried while hugging my mother tightly.

She was also crying in front of me. She gently wiped my tears away and give me a gentle kiss in my forehead, just like she always does.

"Hey! hey...my son. Listen carefully. Don't ever think that we are abandoning you because were not. Your daddy and I loves you very much, but we have to do this for your own safety, son. The situation right now is very critical and we don't want you to get involve with this because you're our one and only child. We can't afford if something might bad happens to you," she cried while saying those words.

"God! I hope you can easily understand this, Zandro. We were doing this for your own sake."

With my teary eyes, I saw my daddy's men came. They were all wearing black suits just like everytime. They are all finished putting my things inside the car and I also saw our six black cars lined up at the fountain infront of our mansion. As if it is ready to leave.

"Mommy, please, I don't want to leave," I cried again and held her legs tightly.

Butler Leonard approached us and bowed gently.

"Madame, the car is ready for the young Master's departure," he said while still bowing.

"No! I'm not leaving Leonard!" I shouted at him while clinging into my mother.

"Please, Butler Leonard, take good care of him and don't ever leave him alone. Promise me you'll gonna take good care of him," mommy said to him.

"You can count on it, Madame." Butler Leonard bowed down to my mother and after that he pulled me away from my mother.

I screamed at the thought of being away from my mother forever.

"No! Let go of me! Let go of me, Leonard! I'm ordering you to let go of me right now! I'm not leaving!" I cried off as I struggled with his grip.

"ZANDRO!!!!"

My father shouted at me like thunder and stared at me intently. He had just come out of the mansion with the rest of his men. Butler Leonard quickly bowed to him and let go of my hands as he turned aside.

Like a lion, my father walked towards me. His appearance is elegant and I can see in his eyes his superiority. He clenched his jaw, as if he was trying to suppressed his emotions from coming out.

"Daddy, do I really have to leave?" I cried to him.

His face hardened of what I've just said and now, I can clearly see the forming of his tears at the corner of his eyes. He held my shoulders tightly.

"Leave child, that's my command to you. And don't ever come back here if you're not yet strong enough," he said and turned his back on me.

I was surprised by what he said and did nothing but to get into the car that had been waiting for me for just a while now. As I was leaving the mansion, I couldn't help myself but to cry in agony. I was so mad at them. How can they do this to me? I felt so betrayed right now. I'm their only child yet their throwing me out of our own house. Father didn't even make me understand of what was really going on and why do i really have to leave.

While crying inside the car, I noticed the rest of his men following my car. And I know what they are doing. They were watching me out for my safety purposes.

"Young Master, are you all right?" Butler Leonard asked me while sitting next to me.

"Don't you ever call me your young Master, Butler Leonard! I'm no longer a Torricelli now! They've kicked me out!" I yelled at him angrily.

"Young Master, you don't understand yet but I know one day at the right time, you will understand why your father did this to you."

"Shut up! Shut your fucking mouth up! Your just defending him! Because you are also one of his men. You're all the same! What he said is enough for me to never return to this place anymore and I swear it to myself that I will never ever come back here." I hissed at him. He was stunned of what I have just said.

If this is what my father really wants, then I will do it even if it is against my will.

EURY POV

"Class you have a new classmate," sabi ni Ma'am sa harapan ng classroom saka nilingon ang pintuan.

"Come in Zandro."

Lahat kami napatingin sa isang batang lalaki na pumasok sa silid ng room. Mapusyaw ang buhok nito kagaya ng sa akin pero may tumitingkad din namang kulay itim mula doon.

"Class this is Zandro Vandrick Torricelli, your new classmate," pakilala ni Ma'am sa bago naming kaklase.

Tumingin siya sa amin at saka mahigpit na napahawak sa magkabilang strap ng backpack niyang dala.

"H-hello?" patanong na bati niya.

"Eury magkatulad kayo," nakangusong bulong sa akin ni Chona.

"Hindi kaya," angal ko sa kanya.

"Eury may problema ba?" tanong ni Ma'am sa akin. Hindi ko napansin na nakatingin na pala sila lahat sa akin. Pati iyong transfer student ay nakatingin na rin.

"W-wala po," mahina kong sagot kay Ma'am.

"I told you Eury not to get into troubles again diba?"

Napayuko ako at napahawak sa pisnge'ng may band aid.

"Opo."

Nagkasabunutan kasi kami ni Mikaela kanina sa playground dahil inagaw niya ang laruan ko.

"Good," anas ni Ma'am at nilingon iyong batang lalaki.

"Doon ka maupo sa tabi niya Zandro."

Deretso namang naglakad ang totoy na ito papunta sa tabi ko at naupo. Nakapout akong napatitig sa kanya.

"Ilang taon ka na?"

Hindi siya sumagot.

"Aherm.. uyy tinatanong ko kung ilang taon ka na. Mas mataas ako sa iyo nang konti kaya I think your 5. 6 ako kaya matanda ako sa iyo. Tawagin mo na lang akong ate."

"8."

"Huh?"

Nilingon niya ako at nakita ko ang kulay ng mga mata niya. They were light blue.

"I'm 2 years older than you."

Matapos ang klase namin ay kaagad akong nagtatalon sa pasilyo. Excited na akong umuwi. Ang sabi ni Mommy ay bibilhan niya ako ngayon nang bagong manika kaya excited na akong umuwi.

"Kano! Kano! Kanong hilaw! Ahahahaha!"

Napahinto ako sa paglalakad at nakita ko iyong bagong transfer student na binubully ng mga grade 3.
