The Deep Blue

21. Rough Tide

"See you after school Nagi" Takeshi says kissing the shark tooth necklace as I close the door.

At school though I wish that I was with him. At least there I would have someone to at least talk to. With the people in all my classes wanting same as the next person. Doing everything they can to fit in.

While I fit in the socially awkward category. Being either hated for no reason or people who just don't talk to me. What makes matters worse is that most of all my classes are just like that. Full of people who are very different. No wait I'm the person who is different from them.

"Either you wake up or take a zero on your second day in class" The teacher says slamming her hand to my desk.

Jumping up in shock as the classroom erupts in laughter.

"I'm....I'm sorry Ms. it wont ever happen again I promise" I say pleading to the teach looking to the floor embarrassed.

3rd period

"I totally hate 2nd period Riku its like being in hell." Walking down the hall after the bell rang.

"But you totally love Literature dude like come on highest score in the country's writing test. Along with winning the reading competition" Riku says going into his locker.

"But this class is different she gives us tons of worksheets all on the second day, and on top of that the kids in the class are all complete and total assholes" I say pausing trying to get my books. "Like who are the people putting those kind of people in a class like that"

"Dude the more you complain about the more stressed out you will end up in the long run"

"I know but it's just that I hate being in those kinds of classes dude its nerve wrecking" Telling Riku trying to get out my frustration.

"Lets get to 3rd block for now and talk more about it later" Riku says going into the boys bathroom.

3rd period

In Finances a class where I can sort of be myself. A class where I at least have a friend and someone to at least talk to without being ridiculed or called wierd.

Sitting to a desk next to Riku and right the window. After several times at trying to sit by the window to at least see the world outside of the Academy.

"Dont you ever think sometimes how better life would be if you were someone else" Telling Riku as while staring outside the window.

"Everyone has at one point dude, but seriously don't get your mind clouded again"

"I can't help it when all my life I have been called a failure dude" Looking into his eyes. "Seriously I don't want to feel like this but it happens. I wonder if Takeshi were to leave me what would I do. Who else here in this world that would love me for me"

Takeshi

Staring off at the slide door wondering about a world that maybe I was meant to in. But my life and everything is meant to serve a purpose and that is to love Nagi.

He needs me as well as I need him and without him my life would have been over by now.

With the aftermath of several major wars in the Ocean. My fathers kingdom becoming even more powerful than ever. As he began to higher his expectations of me. Demanding me to be a carbon copy of what he is and to give up who I am. Just so that I can become just another one of his brainwashed people.

Father always looked down upon me though. After the death of my mother trying to conceive me he resented me. Treating me like the sand from the bottom. He did and said things that would break any spirit. With his tactics getting even more extreme as he would stab me in the back with the trident. Telling me that I must get stronger by experiencing his hatred toward me.
