    My name is Adrian Lancaster, and you see I sorta have a problem. Everyday is always the same, wake up eat, study, eat, train, eat and do it again the next day. My life is just like an endless void of repetition. Born into a rich family my relatives were either ministers or governors, I always attended boring parties with people I don't even know. Since I was a baby I had hundreds of maids and butlers to wait on me hand and foot, silent and creepy bodyguards who just stand in dark corners of the room, I guess it's more fun that way.        
    But with all this security it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm safe, on the contrary, you may be shocked to hear but I am constantly being kidnapped.
Honestly, it's the only joy I have in my Mundane life. Thanks to the whole history teacher scandal I wasn't allowed out much, atleast without 50 bodyguards following me. The only time I get out is when I get kidnapped, but that doesn't mean they ever successfully got away with the ransom. My mum and dad go crazy whenever I get kidnapped.bin fact none of them have ever held me for more than two days, well, its the thought that counts anyway.
    *Sigh*, it's been almost a month and no one has tried to kidnap me. Am I not important anymore?. I heard that governor Tyrones son got kidnapped and has been missing for over a week. What does he have that I don't? Am I not good enough? I don't even put up a fight.
    I used to be the créme de la crème, now look at me, what's the point of all this money if I can't even get kidnapped. Maybe I should wear diamonds to the market place again, no they would probably just steal it. Right now I am sitting on the roof again, and all the maids are begging not to jump off the roof, again, but I need to cross jump from a high place off my list. The only thing money can't buy, is experience and that is why I decided that I will experience everything this world has to offer before I die. But I can't do that if I am cooped up in this place.
    "Hey kiddo, I hope you ain't trying to jump off the roof again" a man said
    "Even if I was, you'd just catch me again. Won't you... Wilbur?" Adrian said
    "If we don't your parents will touture and execute us" he replied
    "So, when will they get here" Adrian asked
    "Two days or so, everyone in the city has already started the preparation"Will said. My mum and dad are never home. They usually hold a big festival anytime they come home
    "Looks like it's almost that time of year again" Adrian said
    "Hey what time is it, Will " Adrian asked
    "It's... three thirty five" he replied
"Wanna go grab some steamed buns?" Adrian asked
    "Of course I wanna" he replied
    "We can cut through the library, I want to return some books I borrowed" Adrian said
    "Lemme see those... how to escape from a heavily guarded prison 101, home made poison for idiots, traps for nosey body guards Volume 5... Really" Will said. Wills is... How do I put it in a nice way. A leech that sucks the joy out of every second of my life. He is probably the one driving all those potential kidnappers away too. Just evil.
