Life is hard 3

Life is different when you are different.

I know am more white like my mummy other than my daddy but that doesn't matter, it didn't distinguish us from each other but makes us one, it's just a colour pigment nothing more.

Immediately we reach the football pitch we saw only six boys playing the ball and due to eagerness to enter the pitch ,I rush towards the field but was but was pulled back by Junior " Josh what do you think you are doing ? " he asked putting his hands in his waist

" entering the pitch of course" I answered wondering what's the question is all about

" what do you know about the people you are going to play with ?, is not just that but the rules associated with our ways of playing football, we do not play football as the ones you see in television but plays in a different pattern" he warned me but I didn't understand a thing he is talking about and him noticing how I was looking at him decided to explain better by holding my shoulder

" see Josh you have to be careful with them, you see that guy over there, the one with the tattoos " Junior said pointing at one of the guys who kicked the ball

" yes any problem, please don't keep me waiting"

" he is in a gang" Junior pointed out

" but he is too young to be a gangster " I explain " isn't he your age mate ?" I asked

" no ,two years older " he answered shortly " but that isn't the point, the point is that you should be careful with him ,is might be dangerous and see that one over there with the dread locks" Junior complained pointing towards another guy , the one that caught the ball " that one is goddam rich, like his father is an importer and exporter so he doesn't value anyone no matter what you are, he doesn't even value his parents, so be careful with the way you play him to avoid breaking your legs....." he was interrupted with the voice of one of the boys " hey look at what Junior brought for us " the one with the tattoo drawn on his arm said sarcastically " his cousin all the way from Canada,oh his so cute like a British boy" he teasingly said trying to ruffle my neat combed hair ,I put enough time combing that but his wrist was slapped off instantly ,he removed his hands and looked at the other guys before busting into laughter before the others joined in the the awkward laughing competition

like what's funny ?

I rolled my eyes at them because of how weird the behaving there and then I regretted my decision of playing football

" I can see you are so protective of him but if you are this protective of him while bring him here ,I can see you don't like your cousin" the one with dreadlocks said muffling his giggles

" that's why I want to make this as an announcement before we start our training today, if anything should happen to him , you guys will pay for it " Junior retorted

" I bet his whitish skin and leg won't be able to withstand the pressure " one of the guys who is so ugly mockingly said while chuckling while others joined in and I grumbled under my breathes , I saw Junior's fingers turning into fist but I stopped him from doing what he will regret later

" don't blame us if you were to carry him in stretcher back home" the tattoo boy sarcastically but is this supposed to be a form of show off or threat , because if it's a show off is so boring.
