ISLAMS POV :
I was seating in the living room crying internally because I don't want to cry in front of my siblings and quietly listening to the lesson teacher.
Well, If you're wondering why I'm crying and why I need a lesson teacher I'll tell you.
Even if you weren't wondering I'm still gonna tell you anyways.
It happened when I first arrived at my new school. Today was my first day in a school in the city. I wasn't as existed for myself as ameera but oh well. I wanted to fit in and make friends, but most importantly I need to find something mischievous to do.
Then I heard Terror's voice in my head,
"Do you want your father to get angry at you?"
I shook my head
"Then why would you think of that, look if u do something naughty I'll have no choice but to take you back to the village and never come visit ever." His voice warning me sternly.
I roll my eyes realizing that it was just in my head.It was time for class and I was a bit nervous, the teacher asked me to introduce myself so i did. But the moment I started speaking everyone was laughing at me, I had no idea why.
I sat at my seat quietly next to this girl who I noticed didn't laugh.
"Hey," she said and I replied.
We got to know each other.
Her name was Hadiza, I guess I found my new best friend.
She told me they were laughing b'cuz of my accent. I mean really what's wrong with my accent, just because I'm from the village doesn't mean I can't speak English.
I had English class and the teacher decided to ask the new kid a question, I answered correctly which was all that mattered but those kids went off again laughing at my accent.
Even at home this morning my younger siblings laughed at my accent but I ignored them, now its getting to me. Why do I feel so embarrassed even though I'm supposed to be bald.
I looked at every single person in the room and I told myself determinedly that I will perfect my accent and work really hard in school so I become the best and show them all. That was a promise to myself and that Terror on our drive back home.
What! He called me dumb so I had so show him I wasn't.
When we got home I had wined and I made my aunt who I call mummy even though she's not my mother but still respect her like she is get me a lesson teacher to tutor me after school hours.So now you now why I'm crying on the inside. Terror left for military school and he's gonna be fine for a while, but I promised my self to be the smartest student and by the time he gets back, he'll be surprised.

Aslam's POV
#### Four years later.####
It's done, it's over. Yes! After a very long time it is time for me to go home. I miss them very much all of them, my family, but I miss her more.
Every 6 months everyone comes to visit when we're on break but she never came. I wondered why. I'm sure she's all grown up now, i know I am.
I grew out of my childhood figure a long time ago, although I might still look sixteen.
What's weird is that even though before I joined the army girls swon over me, but now it's like they can't seem to take their eyes off me. I'm not complaining though.
I just drove into the house and the security guards were so excited to see me. I gave them all some money before I drove to the parking place.
I got off the car and picked up my bag from the back seat, I just came home so I had to go say hi to dad and Abba and everyone else.
As I walked into the living room I was surrounded by a group of kids who were excited to see.
