“I will be back for you, don’t ever forget that.”

Those were the words that would haunt me forever. I heard those words when I was three, a day after my mom and dad had fought over my sister Niki and I. They were fighting for custody over me, or at least that’s what my mom said. I think it was something more, something my dad did, something nobody knew about but my mom.

      I am folks am Joseph Corto Nino Lougondo.  I am the star of the 8th grade football team; get all the grades and girls. I have my mom’s green-blue eyes and my dad’s dirty blond perfect hair and look just like my sister Niki, who has the same eyes and beautiful wavy hair. Niki and I are twins in case you wondering. I am 5’5 and can play any sport, and love my family.  People say I am quite cocky, but I say it is just being confident, maybe a bit over confident.

      It was the last day of school my football team was going to the finals. This is the first time my team has ever made it to the finals, well only cause I’m on the team.  We were competing against the hardest team, North Woods Middle. I knew that we had the possibility of losing, because this was the only team we had ever lost to, but I also knew that I was amazing enough to beat them. That night at the fields before the game I was in the locker room, I had that gut feeling that I was being watched. It was creepy kind of like something wrong was going to happen, that feeling when the serial killer is about to pop out but you don’t know when. But I let it go and decided to enjoy my last game in middle school. During the game I made a 40 yard touchdown and ran 6 plays. We ended up winning the game, 28-7, after the game we went to Flippers and celebrated. I still had the feeling I was being watched, this time it was stronger, I’m not the kind of person to get scared so I just let it slide.

During the night I had to use the washroom, when I walked in there was a guy that looked like me. He had dirty blond hair and my eyes, he was at least 6’1 and looked really strong. He was dressed in all black and looked like he had something to hide. I went into my stall and watched the guy through the crack. He pulled a pistol from his pocket and loaded it. I head the click of the safety lock and wait for him to leave before I went back out. I knew he was up to something, something bad was about to happen, I just knew it. But before I could even wash my hands I heard a shot and a blood curling scream.
