ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 1: ɴᴇᴡ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ

A grey Nissan Sentra pulled up to the curve waiting for the passenger. Y/n opened the door, "You're late." annoyance dripped at the back of their throat. The driver sighed, "I'm sorry, something was held up in the field and uh, I needed to do something at the house real quick."

Y/n sat down on the seat setting their backpack down on the floorboards and closing the car door. The driver drove out of the private school, onto a freeway. The car was silent for a bit.

"So, summer huh? Any plans with some friends?"

"I don't have friends."

"Oh.."

It went back to silence. The drive being Y/n's father Techno Blade, known for his helping hands in fields mostly potato fields. He enjoys his job, it's better than staying in an office doing nothing like he did at his last job, before he was fired of course. He got summer off to stay with Y/n for their summer break before starting as a freshman.

He tried starting a conversation again,

"So, I know this is out of the blue, but I have plans to move out of the apartment. Any obligations?"

"Nope. Rather be out of that place."

Techno sighed, "You don't have any problem with it?"

"None at all."

"Well, then in that case, the reason I was late was because I was packing."

"You do realize you could have just said that and I wouldn't be upset, instead of lying."

The silence was loud.

Finally arriving at the apartment complex, they headed inside to a clean house with a few bags on the couch. Techno had bought the house already furnished so they didn't have to worry about moving trucks. Y/n walked down the hall into their room, it was the last one on the left across from Techno's room. They walked in, the bed on the right corner in the front of the room. There were a few bags on the bed Techno provided for clothes and a few items.

Y/n started in the closet, it had a dresser full of other clothes. While packing a few they came across a frame, it was a photo of y/n from two years ago when they had gotten a scholarship for a prestigious middle school. Techno was so proud of Y/n, he couldn't keep the camera still. The photo was Y/n holding the certificate at a diner that was in town. It was one of the places they went on special occasions. The thought of Techno"s huge smile he had was enough for them to smile at the thought. Y/n carefully placed the frame in the bag wrapped in a few clothes for protection. Once they thought it was safe enough, they continued on.

It took a long time, but they finally finished packing. They set the bags by the door, waiting for Techno to finish packing a few of the food for the other house before they buy groceries. Waiting for Techno, Y/n sat on the couch scrolling on their phone and talking to a few of their online friends. Their only friends. They only had 3 but they were the best, Ghosty, Blue and Nox were the friends Y/n met on a greek mythology group on an app called Dako. The app was used for groups and then you could message people privately or in groups. Two lived in different states and Nox lives in the UK. The four of them were pretty popular in the Greek mythology group, Y/n knows all their stories from their father, he told them as bedtime stories when they were young and they never stopped loving them, later renting a bunch of books from the library on the weekends. Ghostie was the sweet kind one, Blue was the one always online, and Nox was the funny one always sending memes. The four of them got along pretty well.

A few minutes passed and Techno had finished packing the food.

"Alrighty Y/n food all packed!"

All packed up, the two set off, leaving the apartment for someone new. In the car they sat driving to the new house.
