1-Mono

JAKE'S POV

Cadet Gray, Carbon Gray, Castor Gray, Gull Gray, Light Gull Gray, French Gray, Dawn Gray, Court Gray. Everything gray.

Gosh. This is so boring. I glanced at my surroundings. Everything's just gray.

I've been living as a mono for my whole existence now. Being a mono without a probe is never easy.

Sometimes I even think. Can I ever see colors soon?

Everything's just gray. Gray. Gray. Gray. I sighed.

"Hey Jake. Let's eat already."

I heard my aunt called me. I've been living with her since my mom disappeared. My dad's gone already so I really don't have anyone to turn to.

"Are you going to your search again?"

I asked her. She nodded. Aunt Aera never stopped searching for my mom, her sister ever since she disappeared.

She was just one of those cases of the missing monos.

I was the last person who saw mom. And I can still remember all the details from that day.

Aunt Aera didn't knew that mom was wearing her most favorite headband before she disappeared. I wished I could see what color that was.

It must've helped if I can see colors.

"You better get ready too. You're transferring schools today. You better be early."

I looked at her. Right. I'll transfer school again for the third time this school year.

I really can't stand any of my classes. They just keep on mocking me for being a mono without my probe.

Well in fact, I'm happy with being just a mono. I don't really need to see colors anyway. Well. Most of the time.

"You go get ready. I'll drive you to school first."

I nodded as I proceeded to prepare for school. A new environment again.

Sometimes I even wonder. What if I finally met my probe there? What will I do?

Will they ever stand me? I'm not an easy going person. I have trust issues. LIKE BIG ONE. You can't blame me. Except for aunt Aera, I don't have anyone else.

I entered the car as I wore my airpods. Only on the right. Aunt Aera said I shouldn't put both of my airpods whenever I'm with her. It's like I don't want to talk to her.

Not like I don't want but I'm not really a talker.

I look on the window. Carbon gray. Castor gray. Gull gray.

"Later. When you feel that the school doesn't fit you, tell me immediately okay? We'll transfer while it's early."

Diverting my look to her. I asked.

"Why? Am I going to move again if ever?"

"Yes. Until we find a school who will respect your condition, if not, we won't stop. I won't just settle my niece to be treated like that. YOU ARE MORE THAN JUST A MONO WITHOUT A PROBE. You'll meet them soon."

I nodded. Aunt Aera has been really overprotective of me. Maybe because she doesn't want me to disappear to like my mom. I'm actually thankful for it.

"We're here."

Aunt Aera dropped me off. Looking at the new university in front of me, I took a deep breath.

"You can do this Jake."

I entered the building. Quite quiet than I expected. I don't even know if this is a good sign or not.

I checked my schedule. I walked on the stairs. I'm not yet late right? How come I don't see students in the hallways anymore?

"Why aren't you in class?"

I turned around to see who called me. Great. I got caught and I'm not even on class yet. I bowed to the Sir.

"Good morning Sir. I just transfered here. I'm from class 1130."

I told him as I handled him my schedule. I wouldn't want to bring a bad record on my first day.

"Oh. Well. You're in good hands. I'm your adviser. And your first period. Let's get to class."

How lucky am I.
