Chapter 1

Intro

          Dawn.

          With the cold breeze still flowing through the city’s atmosphere, the rays of the sun illumined the city. It’s warmth like a beaming light filled the entire vicinity of the town.

The trees around the small city called Owa, had its brown-light colored and other orange colored leaves falling down from their branches. Windy, the skies’ fair in their position paved the way to a good morning.

          A petite house, almost unnoticeable was around the right upper corner of the town where a small little 12 years old boy lived with his aunt. The youngster’s grandmother just died a year ago due to her old age. And since then, only the two of them remained and his aunt continued to took care of her nephew, Gon.  

          His soft blue-lighted paint coated bedroom at the second floor of their house is where he always sleeps at night. Curtains hung around his windows and a sliding door opening it to his diminutive balcony.

          The gleams of the sun emerged to the holes of his windows and also at the sliding door to his right. In unison, the rays lighted the room but only a bit.

          Sleeping heavily and well, drooling. The little teen was submerged in his warm and comfy bed where his comforter covered him.-

7:00 AM.

At that exact time his small black colored, rectangle shaped alarm clock came buzzing. “Ugh!” he exclaimed. Irritated, dreaded and breathing for air, he rubbed his eyes while his left hand sliding his thick comforter to the side of his bed. Stretched out his legs, letting them hung down the bedside as he yawned.

He stood up woozily.

“Gon! It’s already 7. You’re going to be late again.” his aunt said with her loud voice.

“Yes! Aunt Mito. I’m coming down…” He replied. He sprinted towards his drawer and dashed out his clean dark colored polo and pants, uniform and wore it on immediately.

Shoes, he thought. Where did I put it?

He was not able to see his shoes inside his bedroom so he decided to ask his aunt instead. So he grabbed his things and headed for the door. When he opened it, he saw it lying on top of the doormat.

Found it!  He sighed with relief. He neatly tied his shoelace and headed for the stairs as fast as he could. He put his bag to the nearest sofa and rushed towards the kitchen.

          “Good Morning, Aunt Mito!” beamed at his Aunt.

“Hey Gon, Good Morning.” his aunt replied with a smile. “Sit down and eat already you’ll be late. By the way, your lunch box is at the side of the table, don’t forget it okay?” pointing the lad’s lunch box at him. He saw his lunch box across him but he quietly ignored it.

          The youngster settled down at the table and answered, “Yes Aunt Mito,”

“Thank you for the food!” grinned happily.

          Famished, he indulged himself with 2 bacon sandwiches both held at his right and left hand and ate it hastily. Then drank his hot chocolate filled with a milk soothe drink, satisfying him.

“Ah! It was good!” contented, he was smiling widely.

He got up from the rectangle shaped table and walked towards where he left his things and double checked it.

          “Okay!” he exclaimed. “I’ll be going now then, Aunt Mito.”

Going to where his aunt was as he kissed her at the cheeks. His brown long haired aunt wearing an apron was stunned but smiled happily. She said in reply “Be careful, Gon!”

          “Bye.” He said, waving.

          The youngster sprinted towards the front door to go out. Sliding it to the side.

After he got out, he closed the door and turned around, saw the gray colored cement on the pavement and above, the sky so blue and slightly covered with clouds.

”What a cold morning!” he said as the wind gushed at him then he begun to walk fast.

As he was getting far from his house, he heard someone cried aloud, “Gon! Your Lunch Box!” and said “It’s Aunt Mito.” He turned around and saw her. He then ran towards her aunt and tried to grab the lunch box. His aunt’s hands up high, shuddering the lunch box.

          “I told you not to forget your lunch box, did I?” His aunt nagged.

          “Sorry Aunt Mito” he replied while scratching his head and smiled. “I just lost track.” His Aunt gave it to him.

          “Fine then,” his Aunt said. “Go now. You’ll be late.”

          “Thank you, Aunt Mito.” he added.

7.15.

The spiky haired teen sighted the vista of his school, he has finally arrived. After minutes of sprinting. He gasped for air.

He bent over to his knees and touched it. “I’m here” he exclaimed while breathing slowly.

I’m glad I’m not late yet.
