He isn't much of talker. He never really spoke, to anyone. That's what made him different.

Nozomi walked to class with a stack of books,(as usual) and sat down in the back, next to the window. A boy sat down next to him and starting staring at  the books he had, all the books were about important skills that will help you survive any type of apocalypse. "Hey, why do you read those? Do you believe in that junk?"

Nozomi stayed quiet for awhile, "I'd rather be safe than sorry." His voice smooth, calm, and clear. The boy nodded and turned away, just as the lights flickered.

Nozomi could feet it, today was the day that it was going to happen, with all of his research, he had predicted how long it would take before a spreading virus took over the world. He racked his brain and drove himself to insanity searching, preparing, and stocking up on the things that would be needed. The teacher and a few of the students would ever-so-often cough, Nozomi noticed this, and took many pills, all of them for colds, flues, and illnesses. (Once again he learned what pills to take from research.)

"Excuse me, Sensie I-I don't feel very well, may I go to the nurse?" A girl stood up clenching her stomach. One of the first signs...Coughing, then stomach aches! Nozomi thought to himself. The teacher agreed to letting her go.

A few hours pasted, and noting much changed coughing, a few grunts, nothing else. The dismissal bell rang and Nozomi packed up his things and walked home, but as he was walking home a group of people were standing around a huge screen, watching the NEWS. The man was talking abut how the virus was spreading, and that every body could not leave their homes until further notice. He immediately ran home.

Nozomi knew that the virus could wipe out the whole human race. He was prepared for that, he turned on the TV and went from watching the NEWS to reading in his books.

He isn't much of a talker. He really never spoke, to anyone. That's what made him different. That's what is going to save his life.
