3 Days till the end

[ chapter 7 ]

[  Red snow ]

( three years later )

the snowy gloomy weather roams around the school while most students are studying hard for their next important tests. it's the last year of highschool after all. everyone should think now about what they want to do for the future yet despite all that most of them feel lost and clueless about what they want. maybe it's a part of all our lives. it's a part of being a teenager. and that rule is the same for axel also who was once trying to be something better than what others aspire to be.

yet now he is living a normal life like everyone else. or at least that's what he is trying to do because deep down he knows no matter how many times he tries to forget those memories

axel is sitting right in front of his teacher. it's this time of the year that he has to fill an assignment about what his goal is after finishing highschool. despite it not being a crucial thing to the path he is going to take later but he has to do this interview. it's the school rules after all.

teacher: so tell me axel.. is there anything you want to do after school? a job or a career path you're interested in?

axel: i don't know. I never thought about it much. i just studied to move on with my life

teacher: well being lost is normal at around this age but you also have to have a little bit of a vision of where you might be a couple years from now. so do you have that vision even if it's little?

axel: maybe a normal company job. or a teacher. a salary man. i seriously don't know. maybe some job that would get me out of this town

teacher: is there's something wrong axel. you were always this lost and mind blurred in class this year but it seems to be getting to a concerning level.

axel: nothing wrong. it's just a normal day. nothing changed. tell me teacher. were you also lost when you were a student?

teacher: of course i was. but then the days went on and i found my passion.

axel: and what's your passion?

teacher: to help young kids like you to find what they love and are passionate about. you might see this as a silly dream but i take pride in it.

axel: it's not silly. that's a wonderful thing to do. i wonder if i can be like you one day

teacher: you don't have to be me. you only have to find what you love and what makes you... you.

teacher: well since now you don't have a clear answer it's ok. we'll do this interview at another time. you can leave now. oh and one more thing before you leave. study well. tests are close. and don't over exhaust yourself.

axel: thank you teacher

axel leaves the room and walks down the cold school hallway. before he gets his bag and prepares to leave school he hears the sound of his friends.

sam: are you leaving already??. dude you promised us that we will go to that baseball match.

axel: you can go without me. maybe next time i can come. i just feel tired a little tired.

sam: do you still work at that shop? does he never give you a day off?

axel: i already took yesterday off because i had a headache. so i can't miss today also.

sam: oh ok. tell me if you need any help. let's plan to go out sometimes when you are free ok. see you later

axel: see you later
