The Journey to The World of Fantasy (alphabet lore)

Chapter 4: Nathaniel's Worst Nightmare

Nathaniel POV, Monday morning,

"Good morning, Monday." I said ironically. It was another day in school and I can't wait going there. I walked to the bathroom to take a shower. The water was too cold for my body to handle, but I don't care. I am a seventh grader and I go to Alphaville National High School. I finished my bath, wore my clothes that I wear everyday (they're free to wear any clothes), and went downstairs.

I heard my brothers arguing, so I walked to them. "OSCAR, SHUT UP! BE A GOOD MODEL FOR NATHAN!" Brother Michael yelled at brother Oscar. "Just let me finish our breakfast first." Brother Oscar replied. "Good morning brothers." I greeted sweetly, which gave both of them a smile. "Good morning Nathan. Sit down." Brother Michael said. We talked about my lessons in Science, since it was my favorite. We also ate together, we go to school together. Only that Brother Michael is an undergraduate, he learns in a different school, which makes brother Oscar look after me at school.

At school, still Nathaniel POV,

I was walking down the hallways, with many students chatting and quarreling. I opened my locker and at my surprise, someone vandalized it. A student approached to me. "Don't you ever dare to tell the teachers about this, or we'll smash you into pieces." He warned, and I nodded. I wanted to tell the teachers about this, but I can't, in fear of getting me or my brother hurt. I just have to suffer throughout the bullies. I walked inside the room, and I was surprised because my seat is gone. "Really? Why today? I thought.

I finally found my chair and took it. I sat at the chair and I have the worst location ever! I was sitting at the back and sooo many big coconut shells are covering my perspective. Knowing that I am the shortest in our class, it was obvious that bigger students will bully me. "Okay, class. The lesson for today is about, Biology." The teacher said. All of them groaned, but I faked a groan. Why would I reject biology? It's literally my favorite field in Science.

The teacher talked about levels of biological organizations, like atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem, and biosphere. I love reading science especially if it is talking about biology. I would adore that for my whole life!

-insert a buzzer-

It was already lunch break, and my classmates had gone to the cafeteria. I also went to the cafeteria, I patiently waited for brother Oscar. "Nathan, want some fried bacon strips?" Brother was here on time. "Of course, brother." I replied happily. We ate together while spreading out jokes, talking about facts, and many more.

I finished my lunch before brother Oscar did. "Nat, where are you going?" He asked. "I am going to the library. See you later!" I yelled excitingly. I went inside the library, and started to pick some books. And most of the books that I picked are science fields and a sci-fi book.

The books in his hands,

Astronomy
Astrology
Anatomy
Biology
Botany
Zoology
Chemistry
Physics
Meteorology
Taxonomy
Geology
Ecology
Jurassic Park (>:D swag Nathaniel!)

Back to Nathaniel,

I started to read the books, since the whole afternoon is our vacant. I am not going to waste time doing things that are not related to academics. I noticed that I left my backpack in the classroom, so I rushed to get it. "Finally, found you." I whispered as I took my bag.

I walked down the hallways and there are so many students walking and chatting. I noticed that a student patted me on the back and I replied by executing a smile.

-not even a seconds later-

The students around me laughed like crazy. I just ignored them. I saw Kayla was approaching, and I walked towards her. "Good afternoon, Kayla." She smiled. "Good afternoon too, Nathan." She shot back. We walked and talked, until Kayla told me something. "Uhh, Nat. Something is on your back." I tried to reach something, and I got a paper. Hmm, maybe it's from my brother. But it wasn't, it's from one of the students. What it said hit me hard.

'LOSER >:)'

It also have an angry face.
THIS WORD HIT MY HEART SEVERAL TIMES! DID IT REALLY HIT ME HARD?! I MEAN IT'S JUST A WORD, BUT IT IS MORE PAINFUL THAN A KNIFE GOING DEEPER IN YOUR HEART! I CAN FEEL MY EMOTIONS, IT'S BLEEDING VERY MUCH. AND IT IS MORE PAINFUL THAN AN ENEMY'S POWERFUL SKILL. No, I can't handle it anymore.

Oscar POV, in the house,

"Oscar! The dishes!" I heard Michael yelled from the 2nd floor. It was 7:47 that time, and I was washing the dishes. I saw Nathaniel passing by, so I gave him a smile and said, "Hey Nat! How's school?" But he didn't mention any single letter, instead I heard a sob. "Nat, are you okay? Say something." I added. He just ran to his room, leaving his backpack in the living room. Nah, here he goes again. He usually does this every time he got a bad score, but this was out of the blues. He was literally sobbing, and he didn't even say 'good evening' or 'hello'.

I better check his backpack, even though I am invading his privacy. I must be cruel to be kind. I literally saw nothing in his bag but a bunch of papers and books. But something caught my attention. A paper out of all odds. What it said made my emotions tear apart.

'LOSER >:)'

Who the heck could have done this?! I will find that bully and I am gonna teach that arrogant student a lesson, so that he will never ever bully Nathaniel again.

Poor Nathaniel, oh Z please help him overcome his fears.

Haha, this took forever.
