It's Sunday morning ,when I'm preparing for the journey I'm about to embark on  the next day , and so I wake up and take a shower ,I'm an ordinary Kid ,always getting into trouble so my mom and dad decide to take me to Johannesburg to live with my aunt there and of course start university hence I was accepted at the university of Johannesburg U.j

VEE! My little brother shouts from the echo's of trees behind my room and the voice sounds like its getting closer and closer ,eventually he budges into the room

"Hey your boys are looking for you " he spits out the words

"Huh? Me ,what for ?" I ask

"I do not know but they said meet them at the stream at two they have something for you " he smiles and eyes light up

"Okay fine I'll see what I can do " I sit on my bed

"I'm gonna miss you though big brother " his eyes fill with tears

"Hey I'm not gone yet ,come on, Come here  "  He comes closer and I wrap my arms around him ,it feels like I'm wrapping my arms around a new born baby  ,His small hands wrap themselves around me and his head under my chin and I assure him that I'll sure be back to visit him

I went to the living room to find my mother ,preparing breakfast and dad on the outside fixing his car.

"Oh you're awake ?" She asks

"Ahh...I stutter yeah ,Chris woke me up " I lie

" oh that one ,he never stays in bed ,he always wakes up in a crack of dawn just to play around
And wandering around the village "

"Yeah tell me about it " I say grabbing a chair to sit next to the big TV screen

"So are you ready for tomorrow?" She smiles and looks at me

"Yeah I am " I lie ,I don't wanna leave my village ,I grew up here and all my friends are here ,my family and I are regarded as the royal family in this village because well we can afford most of the stuff that they can't afford and poverty is been like a second skin to the villagers and still is ,but I don't care about that ,I love it here .I know almost everyone and everyone knows me ,we're united here and we love one another
Now I'm moving to a place I've never been to and I've heard horror stories about the place and some of our people return in caskets while they left with buses,the city literally swallows people and I don't want that ...

(I'm just testing the waters and I wanna found out if I can write this story or not ,if you guys feel like there's something missing please tell me before I continue)
