690 Words
*beep-beep-beep!*. "hmmmm, 4 in the morning. Guess today's the day". too tired....must get rest....must...get.....nah what's the point, whether we sleep enough or sleep less, we can't escape the fact that at some point we have to rise from our slumber and face this boring life and head on. "so cold". I still have time for a quick nap, but learning from past experience i knew that if i take that nap i'll never rise again for the whole day. i must hurry up and change. Today's my first day at school, i wasn't going to enroll but my parents insisted on it. They said that yes i'm talented and all but i need to improve my social skills. They always find it weird that i can't be socially active with other people. Like what's the point of starting a conversation that i'm not interested with? "You need to go out more and meet people, i know you can do everything on your own but perhaps it would be even more better if you could work with other people." said my dad. I don't really understand. If a machine can work just fine on its own, would there be any need for additional machine for it to work better? i think not. Most people just like to think that being socialy active will bring brighter changes in life. But that doesn't really answer my question: What's the point of doing it if i can get things done on my own?. As i was getting lost in my own mind, The bus that offers free ride just arrived. "Great, i still have 45 minutes left to spare, maybe i should get something when i reach my destination". i said. "Might as well buy the latest volume of my favorite light novel series on my way to school.....hmmmm, maybe grab something to bite as well". Perfect, today's not the day i'm looking forward to face, but i can atleast make it pleasant for me. As i was finalizing my plan, i reached the second stop. It's not the one for the school, no. The next stop should be it. "hmm?". Out in the corner of my eye i saw someone board the bus with the same uniform as i wore, I could assume that she'll be my classmate but...i could be wrong. She's so bright! like what the heck is with that bright smile! how could anyone beam with so much happy energy at this time? "ah". I let out a small sound, it's because i noticed that someone was intently moving close on her. is it a molester? or perhaps just a stranger wanting to approach her? well i can't blame him if he did the latter one, she does look good. or perhaps....wait is that her wallet in his hands? i can tell it's hers because his hands just emerged by her side! "Uhm hello? you need something?" she asked. Oh no, i didn't realize that i've been staring at her for quite some time now, it must've looked weird, i need to tell her now. Quickly, i pointed my finger at the man that did the thing and to my shock she's still beaming a smile. When she realized what i meant, the smile vanished then smiled again. Is it me, or did i just sense a bit of bloodlust?. When the bus finally went to a stop she followed the man. Ah, i guess she'll try to confront him. i think i should back her up and-
As i was just thinking about giving her a hand the unspeakable occured. What happened? i don't wanna talk about it but you can assume that it did not went well for the theif. Oh well, guess im off to an interesting start of the day. And with that settled, i figured that she got it handled already so i might as well be on my way to, I think the book store's just up ahead. Life is boring but people do make it interesting now and then. And with those thoughts in mind, My first day as a student continues on.
