Kids who Stray

Chapter #1: For You

Chan circled the same corridors, he was impatient. Today marked the first day of the last week of school. Chan knew that after he was finished with high school, he could finally see his family again. he had last seen them five years ago and couldn't wait. It seemed cruel that the school kept him from seeing his family for such long periods of time, but the schools established that if he and all the other kids studied hard enough they would have a much easier life than others, who were not so fortunate to receive an education. Chan didn't quite understand these circumstances but his parents had insisted that he live like this, and Chan could never say no to his parents soft voices and genuine smiles.

Chan's curly blonde hair fell right on top of his dark chocolate eyes, as he brushed his golden curls to the side he saw a familiar face turn the corner of the hall way, his eyes met with the orange haired freckled boy. Chan waved with a warm smile. Felix, as per usual was fidgeting with excitement. He ran quickly to Chan. "Chan!" he exclaimed "I can't wait!" Chan replied with the same excitement as Felix. "Me too!" But soon the light from Felix's chestnut eyes disappeared as he continued " But Chan, I'm worried. What if we never get to see each other ever again? I have so many games we need to play together. I'm sure my xbox still works!" Chan laughed at his remark "Yeah mate, definitely. I don't know. We'll figure something out i'm sure of it. don't worry to much, okay?" Felix hesitated and reluctantly replied "Ok."

The curled blonde male walked down the halls after his encounter with his best friend. He walked fast paced as his talk with Felix had taken longer than he anticipated. His first class of the day would be Math. Chan never cared much for math and spent most of class staring out the window. But despite his hate for math he knew that his parents would not be to happy if he was failing so he payed enough attention to the subject at hand.

9:30 am May 14th year 19, Felix couldn't for the life of him pay attention and what was worse was that he sat at the front of the class so if he dozed of the teacher would definitely notice. But Felix was so utterly bored. He began flicking his pencil between his fingers. But soon he found his gaze switched outside. Rain fell on the clear window. This May they had much more rain fall then had been expected. But the plants seemed to enjoy it. However Felix was not to excited for the rain. Grey skies always left him feeling gloomy. Unless in winter. But winter was long gone and he felt that the weather should be more happy, it was the beginning of summer after all.

12:45 am May 14th year 19, Minho peeled at the tape on the back of his seat, lunch break was drawing closer, Minho's highlight was always lunch, he never liked any of his classes and lunch break was always a relief. Finally five minutes later the bell rang to dismiss the class. As soon as he left the room he unzipped his backpack and plopped his headphones into his ears, he pressed play on his phone and fell into his own world. Minho decided to skip school since it was the last week and he could care less. When Minho finally left the property he decided to go get something to eat, after he would go back to his dorm. Being mindful that there would be many enforcers that would try to stop him from getting into his dorm during school hours, but as always he had his own way to find a way in.
