Not seen so far.... Nice.

I sit in my assigned seat for my most hated class, Grammar. Unfortunately, to make matters worse, I'm in the front. With people. You may think I'm antisocial and if I were not stuck in this prison, I would high five you for you are correct. As soon as the annoying sound of the bell rung in my ears, we all took our seats. After many hours of terrible work, it is finally time to leave. I run to my locker and grab my stuff. Once I close my locker someone takes my bag, which has my amulet from my friend. I try to grab my bag but my shortness is preventing it. The bully, or as you know the name of Jack, was hanging it high in the air. Since I was fit from training, I was able to jump high and grab it. I make a run for it with the giant on my tail. I make it out of the school and run thirty minutes toward my house. I live alone since... this should be left unsaid.

I go to work on my homework when the doorbell rings. Who could that be..? I have no friends here.. I go to the door and open it to find my friend from New York, Luna.

"Luna!" I shriek

"Kai!" She says. We hug. We let go and start talking about everything that happened the past year and a half. I talked about how I moved here and she talked about her job and her new husband. I didn't feel jealous that she got a husband before me, but I felt happy for her. After hours of talking, she had to go back to her hotel for her business trip. I said goodbye to her and checked the time. 6:30. I'm gonna be late. I grab my lilac bag and rush into my car. After a ten minute drive, I finally make it to my job. I walk into the coffee shop- or as you know as Starbucks- and start my shift. I switch positions with the girl from the last shift and started taking orders. After an hour of this, someone comes in. Not a regular normal customer. It was Jack. He looks around and goes in line, not recognizing me. Since I was the only one there at the time, I had no one to take my shift, I had to stand the pain. Once the line narrowed down, I was filled with coffee-scented confidence. Jack finally makes it to the front of the line, and blindly orders. I take his order and I was about to tell him how much it cost when he gave me a twenty and sat down. I get his change and tell the waitress who is taking his order to him to give this to him. She accepted and took his order out to him.
After many hours of this, it is finally nine, when my shift ends. I leave and go back to my house and go to bed.

...

I wake up to the scent of last nights coffee. I groan and get out of bed and get ready for another day of this prison. I hope no one notices me. If so, then the truth comes out to fast. I walk to school so I can still be active, and then make it to school. I walk into my first hour and sit in my assigned seat in the back. I may or may not have begged my teacher for this seat...... or threatened.. Hey! You can not blame me! I had enough of begging.. After hours which seemed like years, the bell rang signaling lunch. I put away my stuff in my locker and grab my amulet, you never know when you need to defend yourself. And yes I mean defend with an amulet. You will see if it comes. I grab some food and go sit under the cherry blossom tree in the back of the school, away from people. Suddenly someone comes back here and spots me. Since it was someone I did not recognize, I knew it was the new kid. The new kid comes up to me

"Hello" I say

"Hi" He returns. We sit in a awkward silence, but soon he says "My name is Ajax"
