Middleman of two worlds

The next morning Henrich woke up before 6 am. He felt really tired and sleepy. He could sleep for at least half an hour, but he couldn't stand his uncle's cats loud miaowing. To be honest, Henrich was scared of cats especially Persian cats due to his childhood trauma. When Henrich was 4 years old, he was staying at his parent's friend's house for the night. His parent's friends had two Persian cats and one of them was pure evil. Henrich just wanted to pet the cat when the cat suddenly bit him and scratched his arm. Later that day when Henrich tried to fall asleep, he saw the cat's glowing eyes in dark as the cat walked in the room where he was sleeping, then the cat suddenly jumped on the bed and tried to attack him again, but luckily the blanket protected him from cat scratches. Since that day he was always scared of cats. It was like an alert inside his body when he saw a cat that said ''Oh shit, there's a cat what should I do ?''. It was a strange coincidence, that his uncle's cat was also Persian and although he seemed nice and allowed Henrich to pet him, Henrich still was a little bit afraid of him. Henrich could think of two versions of why the cat was meowing so loudly, he either wanted to eat or go out. Therefore, he got up, went downstairs and the cat followed him. It appeared to be the first version because the cat's bowl was empty. Henrich filled bowl and went upstairs. He took a shower, dressed up and went downstairs.

''Good morning, how are you? It's your first day in the new school, '' said his uncle in an annoyingly enthusiastic voice.

''Yeah, yeah, good morning, I'm okay, I just don't want to go anywhere today, ''said Henrich.

''Oh, come on, you have only four more months to go to school and then you will graduate,'' said Henrich's uncle.

''I know, I know, I'm just not very happy about the fact that I will be a new guy, but I guess I will endure it,'' said Henrich.

''Don't think too much about fitting in, better eat your breakfast and pack your bag. By the way, do you know the way to school?'' asked his uncle.

''I have GPS on my phone, so don't worry about me and I already packed my bag in the morning,'' said Henrich.

''You woke up before me?'' asked Henrich's uncle.

''Yes, it was all because of your cat. He miaowed so loudly that I couldn't sleep,'' replied Henrich.

''Hahahahah, it's his habit, he usually eats all food in his bowl at night and then, when the morning comes he miaows loudly next to my bed because he's hungry. I guess he found a new victim now, so I'm not gonna suffer from it anymore,'' his uncle said.

''Wow, hearing this totally made my day better,'' said Henrich in a sarcastic voice.

When he finished his breakfast, he took his bag and put his shoes on. ''Good luck,'' his uncle said as Henrich was about to leave. ''Thanks,'' replied Henrich.
