Siku : The Unimaginable Life

Chapter - 4 : A Normal Day!

A/n:
*Yo!! If you know or not, this is my first work that I've ever written before so my work can be lacking!! But yea, to improve and to know more about writing stories I was reading some novels for some days, ohhh!! Also to tell you that I haven't read any novels before but yeah I watch many anime.. So this idea is from some anime and some events inspired from my life.*

*I think I have not given the description of how the protagonist looks yet. So here is a little description : Maxwell(Max) 16 yrs old, almost 5.6 feet, blue eyes, black hair, fair skin, not good in physical work, does not have muscles, has kind of idiotic personality.*

“…..ahhhh~”

It was around 7:13 in the morning when I woke up, the sun had already risen but my body felt heavy and somehow… strange. It seems like yesterday's events left me with some strange effects but for now I just decided to ignore it and change into my school uniform— the blue long-sleeve shirt, grey pants, red tie.

After changing, I went downstairs for breakfast. Mari, my older sister, was there with Diamond, her boyfriend who had stayed over. They were talking about their plans to get married, which I didn’t really care for. Mari, who’s in her late twenties and well-regarded at work, often annoyed me and Diamond, who’s a bit of a nuisance to me, was making the morning awkward. My mom, who looked as youthful as ever in her forties, seemed the same as always– clam, yet distant.

But it was not always like this… when my dad died, I was only 10 at that time. When I heard that my dad had died of a stroke I was in shock. I can't believe it. I don't really cry and because of this some say that I'm heartless. My mom and Mari cried for days, but not me. That's when I realized… something important—no one ever truly loved us. The people who used to care for us? It was all an illusion. They were jealous. Our kindness was wasted on them. After Dad’s death, my mom spiralled into depression for over a year and a half.

“Oii!! Max, why are you spacing out.“ Sis’s voice snapped back me to reality “Just complete your breakfast or you will going to be late”

“Sorry sorry!!“ I muttered, shaking off the memory.

“Max, what were you daydreaming in early morning, do you have -" .Diamond smirked, always ready to tease me but before he completed.

“Just stop Diamond,” Sis interrupted. “My little brother does not have anyone like that,” Sis said.

“Ahaha- how can I have… Sis?! What do you mean?!!“

“It is nothing,” she said with a sly smile.

“Ehhhh?? C'mon, tell me”

Our mornings are always like this—filled with teasing and laughter and I want to keep it up as long as possible.

As we talked, I kept quiet about the strange events from the previous day.

……..

*Time Skip - at school*

........

It was just another typical day at school. I was getting along better with my classmates and even grew closer to Travis and Steven, two guys I met on the first day. They were good and fun people but I felt like I had seen them before. During recess, I went alone to meet Aditya in the canteen, he was already waiting with some food.

“Yo!Aditya!” I called out.

“Ohh, finally! You are late!” feigning annoyance., he said

“Sorry, sorry. I was having fun with them”

“ohhhh……Finally you’ve grown up” he teased.

“Don't make fun... I just wanna change myself!!”
