FIRST

Hey,

He woke up to the sound of his father calling him so he wouldn't be late for his first day of his final year in high school. One could say that his morning wasn't good; by nature, he was someone who loved to sleep and stay up late watching his shows.

He frowned at the continuous yelling of his father and decided, after struggling to get out of bed with his eyes still closed and his uncombed black hair, to finally rise.

As soon as he sat up, he felt his cat jumping into his lap, which made him open his eyes and smile, as this had become a routine part of his day; his cat did the same thing every morning, stretching and making cute sounds.

"Good morning, my little white sugar." Meoow

The cat responded with a sweet meow and then jumped down from his lap, heading towards her food in the corner of the room.

He took a cold shower and put on his clothes with a sense of lethargy. What excitement could he possibly feel about going to school? There was nothing special about it except for meeting some rude and arrogant people.

He sat at the same table as his father after thanking him for the burnt food, then bid him farewell to wear a pair of black sports shoes with red laces and a tie that was unevenly tied.

He put on his helmet and sat on his motorcycle. Although they were from a middle-class family, he owned a luxurious Yamaha bike in a dark gray color
He rode his bike until he reached the high school gate, where the guard stopped him, questioning how a minor could ride such a dangerous-looking bike given its speed.

"Can you show me your student ID? Or the ownership papers for the bike?"

The security guard asked seriously while Sky was growing tired of waiting and really didn't want to be late on the first day to avoid hearing the principal's endless chatter.

He pulled out some papers from the bike's rear compartment and handed them to the guard, who examined them closely, incredulous that the person before him was nineteen years old, but it wasn’t his concern, so he returned the papers and finally allowed him to enter.

He entered the classroom and indeed found many familiar faces, but he headed to the last seat by the window and sat there, ignoring the looks of anyone.

The teacher arrived after the bell rang; he was a young instructor who looked younger than expected and immediately began checking the attendance list.

"Present,"
he answered after hearing his name without lifting his head from the desk, but hearing the name that followed made him freeze for a moment. Could the teacher have just called Nani?

He raised his gaze but couldn't spot anyone until one of the students he had never seen before answered that the other was coming in a few seconds.

And indeed, as soon as he finished speaking, the door swung open dramatically, and walked the one with black hair, looking annoyed and apologizing to the teacher in a low voice.

It was a moment when both their eyes met, and the oxygen seemed to disappear for both of them, with mutual looks of hostility and a spark that everyone in the class could feel.

Nani was not happy sitting at the same table as the other and desperately wanted to get another seat, but none were available. His annoyed expression was evident before he slammed his bag down on the table and sat down in a very messy manner.

That class passed with exchanged glares of hatred between the two, and finally, the bell rang, and the teacher left. Sky rested his head on the desk, deciding to sleep, as it was his only hobby.

But his precious sleep was interrupted by loud laughter, making him annoyed enough to wake up and shout at the group near him.

"Since you have so much energy, why don't you expend it outside instead of bothering people!!"

Nani looked at him with hatred, approaching him and responding with a hint of malice,

"I don't think we're in your bedroom, so it's better to shut that big mouth of yours."

Nani's provocation of Sky succeeded, and he stood up aggressively towards the other. Luckily, the teacher intervened and separated them.

"Raging dog," Nani muttered audibly, to which Sky replied, "Wild cat."

The girl in front of them listened to these mutterings, wondering whether they were fighting or flirting with each other through these names.

Hope you enjoy it
Thanks for reading
