*Wrrrrrring*

Headmaster: Alright that's a wrap!

Jacob: Pheww...!

Headmaster: Jacob!!

Jacob: Yes sir!!

I stand in attention.

Headmaster: You did excellent work today. You'll receive a bonus at the end of the month.

I bow.

Jacob: Oh th- th- Thank you sir! I don't think, I deserve it-

Headmaster: Non-sense. Here how about this you lock up and I'll make sure you catch the next bus. If anything I'll drive ya home.

Jacob: Oh thank you sir!

Headmaster: Here ya go!

*cling*

I look up and catch the keys and put them in my right pocket. The Headmaster turns and walks away. I turn and walk into the inner room.

Jacob: Funny... I've never been able to come in here before... its kind of chilly.

I take my left hand and clench my collar. I slowly walk to about the middle of the room. I slowly look around and admire the series of ES' in front of me.

(Jacob: Man wouldn't be great if men could pilot these. We could take part, at least... I would...)

I slowly reach my hand out to the one around the middle of the room.

Jacob: It would... be awesome.

Headmaster: So Jacob you about ready to-

*tap* *WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!*

Jacob: What the...?

Headmaster: What was that!?

Jacob: I have no Idea?!

Headmaster: Jacob lets drop it. Lets come back tomorrow. Just finish locking up.

Jacob: Right!

The headmaster took me home that day. But the following day my life changed forever.
