"You're playing with fire, Kaya." His grip on my arm tightens to the point where I know it's going to leave bruises.
"And I know how to let it out." I glare at him.

I always wanted to know, what would happen if evil people disappeared. Maybe I would get so see mama again.
Mama.
My eyes sting and my chin trembles everytime I think of her. She was a very beautiful women with long brown hair and dark blue eyes. Her eyes very much resembled the evening sky, just like how the starts twinkle mama's eyes twinkled the same way. I got the same blue eyes too. She was very tall. Hell, she was like a baniyan tree. Mama used to get mad when I called her that, a baniyan tree.
I stare at the drawing which I made for her. It's me and her, holding hands and eating my favorite cookies and cream ice cream. Before I could even show it, the angles took her away.
Now, she's in heaven.
Heaven.
I wonder how heaven is? Is it how mama described? With white clouds surrounded by beautiful angles? Where you get to meet your loved ones? Maybe mama met papa.
Papa died in a car accident. That's what mama told me. She showed me their wedding picture once. They looked so happy. He was a very handsome man too. Mama told me that Papa was taller than her. He had green eyes just like some gemstone which mama told me about. I don't know how to pronounce that. He also had very dark hair. Just like how they show in Disney movies.
"Are we ready, little munchkin?" A voice similar to mama's distracts me. I look behind and see Auntie Sasha cleaning the coffee mug with a napkin. She's been taking care of me after mama died. Auntie is very similar to mama, except that she's a bit short and has brown eyes.
It's my first day of pre-school and I'm nowhere near excited or happy because I'm joining The Queen's School. They took my interview a few days back and it went bad because the principal looked very scary, like that old lady from Mr. Bean. I find her scary. They didn't accept me at first but, later Auntie Sasha talked to her personally and I finally got in. Now, here I am, wearing a very uncomfortable dark blue uniform. It's like a short frock with some golden design on the upper left side. I'm wearing a white shirt underneath it and Auntie buttoned my collar. I'm also wearing black polished shoes with white socks.
I look at Auntie and shake my head. "I don't want to go."
She brings her eyebrows together and kneels in front of me, holding the mug, "Why not? You'll make new friends."
"I don't know how to make friends. Mama was my only friend." I look at my drawing again.
"She was my only friend when I was of your age too but, later she taught me how to make new friends at school." She says while adjusting my my collar. "I can tell you a secret which mama told me while she helped me making friends."
