Fragile Phantasy

Part 4

The crisp sound of the alarm clock pierced through the stillness of KC's new house, rousing him from his slumber. "Children, awake!" came the gentle yet firm voice of their mother, urging them to start the day. With a sense of purpose, the two children sprang out of their beds and began their morning routine.

As KC prepared himself for the day ahead, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and optimism. "Today is a new morning, a new beginning," he greeted his family with a smile, turning on his trusty invisible mp4 player. As the sound of "Don't Worry About a Thing" filled his ears, he sang along, feeling the stress of the day slowly melting away.

As they sat down to breakfast, their mother served them a hot and delicious meal. "KC, can you take your sister to the elementary school?" she asked, and without hesitation, he replied, "Ok." His little sister's eyes lit up with joy at the prospect of going to school with her beloved big brother.

Their father, who had been quietly observing, spoke up, "Starting today, your mother will work to help me provide." It was a reminder to KC that their family was doing everything they could to support his education and future success. "I'll pick your sister up later," his mother added, and with a warm hug, they left for work.

As they walked to school, KC couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility for his little sister's safety. "Be careful walking," he promised to take good care of her. "Brother, are you making friends in your class?" his sister asked, and he smiled, "Yeah, it's fun there. Don't worry, I'll take care of you."

As they arrived at his sister's school, she bounded off to her classroom with a beaming smile, and KC bid her goodbye. "Let's do our best. Don't worry, brother is always behind you," he encouraged her, feeling proud of the little girl she was becoming.

With a renewed sense of purpose, KC continued on his way to school, taking a deep breath and shrugging off any doubts or fears that had crept into his mind. As he slipped on his earphones, he reminded himself to stay positive and trust that everything would work out in the end. Today was a new day, and he was ready to take on whatever challenges lay ahead.

As KC walked along the road, he listened to his favorite song, hoping to uplift his spirits. He tried to stay positive, but the world around him seemed determined to bring him down. When he reached his classroom, it was almost empty. He sat down and continued to smile, trying to maintain his positive attitude.

As his classmates began to enter the room, Max noticed him and quickly started to harass him. "The servant is here," Max taunted as he hit KC. But KC refused to let Max get to him. He continued to smile, determined to remain cheerful.

"You're crazy," Max said, surprised that KC was still smiling. "Maybe you've lost it," he added as he hit KC again, causing his head to almost fall off.

KC got up again and smiled. "I won't stop until that annoying smile disappears," Max threatened.

The teacher arrived and everyone returned to their seats. KC turned off his earphones to focus on the class. The teacher announced a new seating arrangement, and KC was delighted to find out that he was sitting next to the beautiful crimson-haired girl he had a crush on.

However, the girl, Victoria, was disgusted and complained, "Eww, can you please get me away from this bacteria?"

KC didn't let her words hurt him. He decided to focus only on himself and his dreams. He slowly realized that in this world, you should only think about yourself, and others could only cause pain, resentment, and problems. He started to think that it was better to be alone. The most important thing for him was to get out of poverty and make his father and mother proud. KC was determined to finish his studies for them, even if it meant bearing all the pain and hiding everything with a smile.
