Chapter 1: Wonders

All my life I have always been wondering, what is in the end of the deepest oceans? Has anyone seen it? 

! Ah.....I....am spacing out again , I shove up myself from bed and began to brush my teeth then get ready for school.

"Adam, I will go to work early, so hurry up and let's go." father gets up from the dining area and leaves. He is always like that, grumpy and strict, but I have to hurry. I opened the door and locks it.

Protacio High school, is where I go to from the past year

I walked down the road; ah....It's so hot...I should've wore this jacket. As always, the classroom is as loud as before, I should've slept early last night , the cold and gentle breeze of wind was from the window next to me, I could sleep from it's gentle touch of my skin.

The loud noise from my classroom kept me awake, and it always disturbs me. The glimmering light from the sun to my face.

"Okay everyone, let's start the class but, before that, let's sing the anthem." Kathy is my advisor in this grade and class

I would look at the scenery outside the building, the roads is full of cars, the gate is open wide, the waters aren't clean. Hah......I want to sleep more... I crossed my arms and yawned--silently.

Some teachers would just read the text what's in the book. So, I barely kept listening since it's all from our book, I could just review it.

After school, I would walk back to my house; I could see the ocean...ah..what calm waves ; I would sleep all day if I can. I walked down the road and arrived in my apartment. I would be the first one to arrive in the apartment since my father goes home from work late. *crackle* the sound of the fire burning the food on the pan; I placed my plate and the food, I checked the rice if there are still one--yes, there are.

*munch munch* I could only hear the sound of chewing and the tik of the clock; I have always been this lonely ever since mom died. *woosh* The sound of the wind is ringing in my ear; "Thank you for the food", I walked towards the faucet to wash the dishes; Life is.....so confusing.

I went inside my room and it's always the same just like yesterday, I went to school and wash the dishes then do my homework. It's basically just like a simulation, everything I do everyday is the same as yesterday--or last year. Why? Is life so...boring? .I looked at the window and smacked my head, stop being so dramatic Adam...

*Slam* I heard the door being closed, and went out of my room, "Welcome home, father" I speak towards him, "What's for dinner?" he replied while putting his shoes on the shelf, I went on the kitchen and replied "I will cook sunny-side egg for tonight." he then nods.

Looking on the window, I couldn't take my eyes off from the glittering stars of the night. How nostalgic...I always wanted to go up there and see how the the stars shimmer. I looked down to the pan, and served the food. After cooking for his dinner, I went back inside my room.

Someone had already discovered something up there, how the stars would glitter.....I.....wanted to do the same thing--the opposite of the point which is the ocean...I want to know more about it, I want to show the world what I'm capable of...

*drip* ! What?! What is this place? Is this a dream? there's water around me, I turned around...not a single fish was swimming....how can I breathe? *ding* I looked up my head...I realized I was upside-down, there was a floor that hit my head gently.....am I dead?

"Adam, wake up!" I woke up surprised from what I saw, my dad was there almost crying, "What happened?" I asked, "You didn't wake up, thank goodness you did." my dad suddenly embraced me which is rare. "I'm okay dad." I replied with a smile on my face. "HUh?" I was shooked, "What is it? Did you hit your head somewhere?" he looked around. Just now....I know I was dreaming something, I forgot
