“I still remember very well, the first time I left home. I was 12 and studying in 7th grade. In the middle of the semester, I was un-riotously transferred to a new boarding school. The reason?…To be away from home…to get away from my father. You might be curious about this, but I am not surprised because it is only me who knows his secret. “Being transferred in the middle of a semester is really cruel. I have to get used to new classes and a new dorm that does not feel like home, and the worse part is, the new bed that I’m sleeping on, who knows how many people slept on it before me. For years there has been this rumor floating around that there used to be a pool here, where children used to swim during the weekends, but was closed. The rumor is it’s because a kid drowned! “Do you believe in this old school’s tale? I know a secret and if you promise not to tell anyone, I will tell you.”
