It's nearly been a year since my boss died. I still feel sorrow when I think of him. My partner, John, and my first friend Jess, have made this a lot easier to cope with though. Today, I sat up in my bed and immediately put on my gloves. When I did, my partner walked in and said;
"I see you're awake, wolf. Say, it's been a year, and we don't even know if you're still cursed. How 'bout a handshake?"
I quickly pulled my hands to my chest looking scared. Horrified even, and said;
"No, John. It's... It's really stupid how, you're twenty one and I'm sixteen , and I'm still smarter then you, somehow."
John then laughed and leaned on the door frame again. I then got out of bed and closed my door, so that he couldn't see me anymore, and put on my black uniform as usual. Black shirt, black jacket, black pants, black shoes, and a black mask, with my own black gloves.

When I finished getting dressed, I walked out of my room, to see Jess sitting at mine and John's table drinking coffee. When she saw me, she put the cup down, smiled and said;
"Happy sixteen, wolf. How are you this morning? Good I presume?"
I shook my head, looked down and said;
"Nah, the boss usually is the first one to wish me happy birthday. But, I'll be fine. That... that was like... A year ago... Right...?"
Jess smiled and said;
That's the spirit, wolf. And yeah. He's flying high a year ago today."
I then walked to the table and sat down with Jess and John. When I did, John put a box on the table, smiled and said;
"I had a little left from my last commission, so I started saving up for you. Thought you might want this. Your mom wanted to get you one, but... She died in child birth, so she couldn't."
Jess then closed her book and slapped John on the top of his head really hard with it and said;
"SO, me and your partner saved up out coins and dollars, to buy you this. Hope you like it."
Jess then slid me the box, and I caught it. I then put it on my lap and opened the box. When I did, I couldn't believe my eyes. IT WAS A HOLOGRAM HEADSET! I ALWAYS WANTED ONE OF THESE! I then jumped up out of my seat and hugged Jess and John. When I did, Jess flinched a bit, but calmed down. John pulled away from me and said;
"Happy sixteen, dude. You'll be a legal adult in what... Two years? The last time I checked you were ten. It's funny, really."
I then closed the box and said;
"Thank you, Jess, thank you, John."
Jess then stood up and said;
"Okay, kids. So, today the new boss wants us all to meet in front of the stage, apparently we have a new set of commissions. Suit up, because we have ten minutes to get there."
