Ralph cried as his mom pulled up in the driveway of St. Joseph's Catholic School for boys. It was the first time Ralph had been back to school since the island. For the past three years he had been homeschooled. His therapist was the one who had put the idea into his parent's head, saying that it would be a good idea to go back into the world and make friends in order to try to forget what had happened on the island. "Bloody therapist." thought Ralph as he pulled his sleeves down, not that they had been up. It was a habit Ralph adopted when he started cutting. He felt the car stop and looked up to see his mom looking back at him with tears in her eyes.
"Be careful," she said
"don't worry mum, I will, I promise."
Ralph wished his father had been there. He wished there wasn't a war and he could say goodbye to his dad, not knowing if he would ever see him again.
" I love you. " were the words that brought Ralph back to reality. "I need you to try, Ralph...to make friends with the other boys."
Boys don't exist anymore to Ralph. All he sees is the painted savages waiting for him to get close enough to kill. The hunt will never end for Ralph.
"I will mum." he lied. He'd gotten very good with lies.
"Goodbye dear." was the last thing he heard his mother say before getting out of the car. the next thing he saw was her car disappearing in the distance. He was alone now. He turned around and look at the castle that as the school.
he walked slowly toward the entrance and with his sleeves in his palms, pushed open the door.
