"The Lost Boy of Atlantis"

Chapter 1

Its been a year since I felt a strong urge to find this island (Atlantis). I don't know how exactly I could explain this kind of feeling but I'm sure that I must go there. I must find it. I don't care about the risks. My only concern is to get there and nothing else.

I'm Mew Supassit, an adventurer? Maybe? Well, to be honest I'm just a plain person who is living in this very crowded but very lively country, Philippines. I'm half Thai and half Filipino. Originally, I was born and raised in Thailand but when I turned 18 I decided to stay for good here in the Philippines together with my grandparents. Luckily, my parents let me. And right now, I've been living here for 7 years.

I'm weird, that's what people thought about me. Maybe because I don't do socialization with others. I'm always on my room. I'm either reading novels or writing novels that's how my life revolves. I'm just going out when I'm going to school, church and accompanying my lola when doing grocery shopping. I'm happy living like this although other people think that my life is so boring. For me, my life was called satisfaction. I'm happy cause this is what I want. I don't want to be associated with a lot of people. I hate attention the most.

All of my accounts in social media platforms are either anime inspired or my celebrity crushes. It's not that I'm not good looking. I'm handsome and hot that's what I always heard on every people that is lucky enough to see me outside of my room. But I'm not like other people who wants to brag it. I'm proud with my looks and body I must admit. But I never showed to people that I feel it. I'll just let them think that I had no idea how beautiful I was. I think it's better that way.

Just like what I told you earlier. Its been a year since Atlantis caught my attention. I badly wanted to be in there. I think I've read enough articles already. But it's not enough. To see it in actual will be my biggest achievement. It's no joke that I graduated my college as Suma Comlaude but being in Atlantis is a different kind of achievement that I badly want to take risk. I know my lola and lolo will be crazy if I told them about my plans on going there. That's why I decided to not to tell them, I will just say another excuse. Maybe going on a vacation to Korea will be okay. Yeah, that's what I will told them.

I already made my mind.

"Wait for me Atlantis, here I come." I shouted my desire.

Knock! Knock!

"Fuck!"

I opened the door, it's lola.

"Why are you screaming kamatis?" kamatis is tomato in English

I want to laugh but I hold it. My lola is already 78 years old. That's why most of the time she misunderstand what am I saying. But it's strange cause she and lolo always understand each other. Maybe that's the power of love. Even when you didn't understand each other that much because of some barriers. You will still stick and will be beside each other. I wonder how great is the feeling of having someone like that. Because, of my life choices and being distant to other people. I never had the chance to find a partner. I used to had a crush. But when I found out that she's only beautiful in the outside I erase her in my mind.

I hope after I go to Atlantis and be able to prove to everyone that it's true. I'll be able to find my one great love. Who will support me in what I want to do. I hope the next time I will went for an adventure. I'm not alone anymore.
