Chapter 1

Frisk woke up with the ringing of his alarm clock. It was around 6:30 am. He was very tired, because he was up late for his high school graduation ceremony. He wore a blue shirt with red horizontal stripes on it. He turned off his alarm clock. He turned the lights on in his room. It was a spacious room. It was very clean and tidy. He lived separately from his parents. His parents were drug addicts and he was abused for a long time. He moved out of his parents' place when he started high school. He got a job as a waiter in a small restaurant. And he has been living in an apartment ever since. He could afford his living expenses with his waiter job. "What am I even doing?" Frisk thought as he looked around. He was so out of it. So, he went back and lay down in his bed once again. And then, he fell asleep. He woke up again, this time because his phone was ringing. He picked up his phone.

"Dude!" Jack yelled on the phone. "Where are you? I have been waiting for you for ages. You still haven't shown up here! You better not be sleeping!"

"I was not sleeping" Frisk answered calmly. "I had an urgent business to attend to. Sorry about that."

"You sound sleepy. You were definitely sleeping" Jack replied with a disappointed voice. "Come to the bus station near the noodle place. Don't be late or else!"

Jack hung up the phone on his side right after saying that. "Oh no, I totally forgot about my hiking trip with Jack today." Frisk thought. Frisk forgot that he had made plans with Jack on their meal after their graduation ceremony. "I feel tired, but I will never go back on my word." Frisk muttered to himself. He changed his clothes, got his phone and all the other things ready for the hiking trip. As soon as he was done getting ready, he took off. He walked all the way to the bus station. He saw Jack standing near the bus station. Jack looked very annoyed.

"You're finally here." Jack sighed. "I have been waiting for you for ages. As punishment, you must buy all the refreshments for our hiking trip."

"Sorry I am late." Frisk replied. "Well, there goes my money. You always punish me with money. You never change, do you?"

"Shut up." Jack said. "Anyways, let's go and buy some refreshments. Who knows how long it will take before we get back to the town."

They went into the convenience store to buy refreshments. It was a well-known convenience store in their town. Both Frisk and Jack are frequent customers t that store. The store is quite big and spacious, with a lot of items. They mostly buy food from there. So, as they are frequent at that convenience store, the store staff are friendly with them. They often give the both of them discounts. Their classmate, Rachel works there. As Frisk and Jack entered the store, they saw their classmate Rachel at the cashier's counter. Rachel was the same age as them. She had brown hair with a light-toned skin and a normal top and a skirt.

"Hey guys." Rachel said in a cheerful voice. "What are you two going to do today? Are you going somewhere?"

"Yeah, we are going hiking today." Jack replied. "Too bad you can't come. It will be me and Frisk going. I bet you are jealous because you can't come with us."

"Oh gosh, Jack." Rachel giggled. "Stop bullying me. You know how much I like going to places and stuff. If I didn't have work today, I would have definitely tagged along."

"Don't worry about it, Rachel." Frisk said softly. "We will definitely invite you next time. Sorry about this. We have to go really quick. Catch you later, Rachel."

And so, they bought the things that they needed and set out for their hiking trip and then set off. Their town, known as Rancaster was a small town that was located near a huge forest. They set off into the huge forest that surrounded their town. It was given the name of Prairia forest because of the amount of mysteries that the forest had. And somewhere within the forest, there was a huge mountain named Prairia Mountain. Frisk and Jack finally reached the entrance to the forest.
