---------------------------------------------------------------------

"gray! wake up early so i could teach you how i do my work!!"

ghhhh...that's just my grandfather... yelling at me like always...

he's so annoying and doesnt understand that im fed up of the pressure he's been giving to me eversince i've reached my teenage year, since those were the years he started training me to work with him on some regular blacksmith shop thing... (is that what you even call it?)

when i was little, my father left me to stay with my grandfather. i have no idea why he had to leave me, he just did. my grandfather took that opportunity to train me, hoping i would take his place in working as a blacksmith someday.

despite all the years i've been stuck in working with my grandfather, i never actually pay attention so at times im not even sure if what i am doing there is right... and because of that, i get scolded almost everyday in my life. sometimes, i dont even feel like i am a teenager... i never get the chance to act like my age and like all the other people out there in mineral town. i feel like staying in that blacksmith place of my grandfather is close to staying in jail...

other's would say im over reacting but they dont understand my pain.

because of all these sufferings im having, i have a hard time in making friends. no one really likes me. i can tell that. i dont even need friends anyway, my lonliness made me fond of reading books and im already fine with that.

i...i should probably stop talking about my life.... grandpa is gonna kill me for being sloppy...

i changed into my working outfit, the usual white and blue cap with the initials of "UMA" printed on them, along with a plain white polo t-shirt, and regular blue pants (A/N: i dont know what the "UMA" stands for .w."")

as i ran downstairs was about to exit the inn i live in, i bumped into this blonde girl with a clean type of hair cut (you know, complete with the 'hime bangs' and stuff...), she wore a long sleeved checkered polo which is topped with a jumper (its called a jumper right? i dont really know what its called) she rubbed her head and groaned a bit. i had never seen her here at mineral town before...she stood up and brushed of the dust from her clothes,then extended her right hand at me... "s-sorry i bumped into you... im claire~" i rejected her 'sympathy' and simply left her hanging... i looked away as i introduced myself as well... "im gray... i never saw you here before..." "well... that's because i just moved here. i own a farm somewhere down south~ its really near so you could visit anytime you need to" ghhh...this girl is annoying.... "i'll be on my way now... i'll be late for work'

then i just simply left her...

(dammit gray... for once in your whole life would you try to act nice????!!!)
