"sis..." I was slightly woken up unfortunately not by the birds chirping outside my balcony or by the warmth of the sun partnered with the morning breeze brushing against my frail body, but it was none other than but by the faint yet infuriating noise of a SOMEONE who I absolutely can't stand, calling out to me. but I ignored him and closed my eyes again while I still can to stall time at least for a few seconds while I'm still half-asleep.
"...SIS WAKE UP!! go make me breakfast dammit." I jolted in my brother's sudden screaming, annoyed by him abruptly waking me up, I chose to remain silent because of my dry throat, though I did gave him a nasty glare.
in the end, I have no choice but to get up since having a full bladder every time you wake up is indeed a hassle.
my brother is 12 years old and his name Theo Stoll and as you can tell, we have a love-hate relationship sometimes excluding the "love", but jokes aside I do care for him very much because he's the only family I have since our parents are abroad and they aren't coming anytime soon but they do send us a sufficient allowance every month.
enough about my brother, I'm Mav Stoll and I'm not really the type of person to stand out in a crowd, you can call me basic even, though i do have some tiny quirks like having to wear a magatama around me everywhere, my cousin gave it to me and told me that the magatama she gave is a sacred charm that's blessed with spiritual energy thus the magatama allows the possessor to see people's 'aura', even though it's total bs, I still wear it for fashion purposes. and also my precious jacket, it gives me comfort and I get panic attacks when going outside without wearing or at least holding it, basically, I feel naked without it even if I have the thickest of clothes underneath.
but the one thing I hate about myself is that I can't stand up for myself, I don't want to sound like I'm pitying myself at all, but it really is all because of my inferiority complex and the urge to please everyone, that's why I'm attached to my brother so much because he's probably the only person that I feel safe without acting like a doormat.
anyways I can't afford to be late for school, so I swiftly grabbed my bag, my jacket, and my car keys and got into the car along with my brother as we head into our school.
after I drop my brother off, I started scurrying to my class since I'm about to be late, while heading to my class I frowned, knowing the day is gonna the same as usual, to be accommodating to everyone yet no one will return the same kindness you give, as long as you don't have the power to object, it's fine to me since my I have this simple logic hardwired to my brain, that I rather get used than be seen as useless.
and that mindset made me lose my best friend which got tired of me, I mean everybody does, she left me because she got 'tired of defending me' in every situation and decided its a good idea to sabotage our relationship?? well, according to her its to help me find my own self and 'let it shine' what could she possibly know? if she's really that passionate about helping me, then WHY would she leave me? she already knows I'm how pitiful I am by myself, then why would she add more weight to the problem rather than lighten it??
I sigh, as I got into my class right in time while my teacher came a few seconds later
"good morning class, today we have a new student, his name is Samuel Davis, i know this was a surprise for all of you, but I still want you all to treat your new classmate with the utmost respect and make him feel most welcome for his first day here" our teacher says joyfully while presenting the transferee beside her
this 'samuel' guy does have quirky look I mean he has a medium length fluffy grey hair with brown eyes that has the look of an innocent child, radiant and soft, he's also wearing a vintage brown bowling shirt paired with cuffed jeans and lastly a white platform shoes.
he's moderately attractive I guess.
"okay Mr. Davis will you kindly tell us anything about yourself with a short introduction?"
"y-yes ma'am" he gripped his shirt tightly and said
"h-hello I'm Samuel, and uhm, sometimes I like to p-play the bass and that's all!" he said huffing while blushing really hard, making me giggle lightly since I find him quite cute.
after the introduction, our teacher assigned a seat for him which was also the empty seat behind me, making me quite nervous.
time passed by and it was already our break time, while I was walking down our hallway I accidentally bumped into someone's chest and looked up and saw Samuel, feeling embarrassed I apologetically said "I'm so sorry! I w-was on my phone and I wasn't loo-" he all of a sudden laughed at me and said, "hmmm... by the time I forgive you is when you give me all your lunch money how that sounds?
I paused for a bit while my brain was still processing what to he just said only spurt out a single word "okay..." with a nervous smile, I saw the shocked expression on his face but then it softened
"haha i was just playing with ya, I don't mind it all ! sorry for making you worried" he said smiling, he then continued walking to the opposite direction, I was quite reassured but at the same was quite surprised how confident he was talking to me, I was expecting him to be the typical shy timid boy judging from the way he introduced himself, but maybe he just got stage fright. who knows?
I did felt something was off about him, something dark...I can't explain it either, but I'll just brush it off for now.
