Chapter 3: Arrival
"But we made a promise: We promised to meet each other online every day. That way we won't forget about each other! We set the exact times for each day. Except the first day… We couldn't be sure when we would arrive. So, we decided to call as soon as we land and visit our new homes. A month won't be that long!" he opened his eyes and in his blue pupils Mark could see how exhausted the boy was. However, Totis finished his story "And so I ended up here! The police offered to show me around and brought me to your house".
Mark smiled. Yeah, the way that the boy talked- so friendly, like he knew him since he was born- made the young man feel happy when he was near the boy. So many of his questions were answered but still, he had so many questions left without an answer. "How old are you, Totis?" he asked finally.
"I am sixteen year old. I was able to travel alone but I felt so lonely during the flight" Totis said and he looked at his luggage that was left alone near the door.
Mark took the chance and give a quick glance to the young boy. He was tall, fit and lot of girls would say he was handsome. His long fingers were wrapped around his fist on his legs. "You said the program first started at your country, but you didn't say what that country was".
Totis' face darkened. His mood obviously changed. What dark secret he was hiding? "I am sorry but I am very tired right now" he stood up. The morning light was making his leather black jacket, his cut-up jeans and his sporty black shoes shine under it.
"I see" Mark said and stood up too. His thoughts were roaming in his mind. First of all where would Totis sleep? Was it safe? He looked at the boy one more time. His moves was so full of harmony, his eyes full of happiness, he was full of life. And so Mark's decision was taken.
Some minutes after Totis was in Mark's double bed, the doorbell rang. Mark stopped his recording and ran to the door, hoping it didn't wake Totis up. As soon as he opened the door he recognized the long blonde hair he loved.
