The room is lit by the moon's white light coming from the wide glass window. The walls are white. There is a bed with a few wires coming from behind it, and on it is a man.

The man was thin. But, he didn't look frail. In fact, he looked quite muscular before this happened.

"Hey... Mike... I have a story to tell..."

That is me. And the man next to me, is my brother. He is currently in a coma, he has been in it for the past 7 years. And for the last 7 years, nearly every week I have been telling him a story. A story of what happened in my life at least.

"I'm going to start the first day of High School tomorrow..."

He had no reaction.

After a little while, I said my goodbyes then headed home.

*Beep beep beep beep*

I got up quickly from my bed.

"Sheldon, it's time for breakfast!"

"Yes, mom!"

I walked down the stairs and saw a middle-aged woman with brown hair. She was my mom.

"It's your favorite!" She said excitedly.
"Thanks."

I offered my prayers then, began to devour my food.

"Delish!"

"Thank you." My mom responded.

After I finished my food, I took a bath then, quickly left to school on my bike.

I got the bike on my twelfth birthday. It was a mountain bike with straight handlebar. I got to pick the color, it was red with strokes of white.

The school is 20 minutes away on car... So... It should take like 40 minutes for me to reach there. I thought.

In reality, it only took me 30 minutes to reach school.

"So, I'm here! The Southern Island National Academy! Took me a while but, I was able to get here!" I exclaimed.

There were a few people around me. After I said that, they all just stared at me.

Please don't do that...

I looked at the school building. I was composed of one big white building with brick accents in the middle, it has a gym looking building to the left of it and, another white building to the right. There were also waiting areas in front of the school. Those made it look like an airport.

Looks really nice.

I started walking towards the school then suddenly, someone launched past me like a jet. They were easily moving at 40mph or more!

"Hey! You could've killed me!" I shouted at the girl.

"Sorry!" She responded.

"Sigh, good enough... I guess..."

Holy! I almost forgot. This is a magicians school. I guess, in this school they allow magic for regular use. In my previous school magic was banned outright. I guess, they couldn't trust middle schoolers with magic.

I continued walking towards the school. I was almost at the school's grand staircase when I felt someone touch my shoulder.

"Hmm?"

"Peekaboo!" A girl, around my age just appeared out of nowhere. She had short brown hair and, is around a couple inches shorter than me.

"Ahh! H-hold on. Francesca?!"

"Yup, happy to see me here?"

"Yeah, of course! How are you doing? It's been 7 years!"

"Oh, I'm fine." Cesca responded with a smile.

"But, the one who should be asking
that question is me. The last time I remember seeing you, you were still crying about your brother." Her face changed to a serious expression.

"Nah, I'm okay now. I still haven't fully moved on since, I decided to enrol here. I think it's pretty easy to tell..." I responded with my true thoughts.

"Okay, as long as you are not constantly sulking you should be fine. In my opinion, you have moved on."

"Sure... How long have you been here?"

"Well, I've been in this school for five years now. At first, it was pretty wild to see people using magic left and right to go to school. But, I'm used to it now."

"So hold on, you were allowed to use magic since elementary school?!"

"Yep,"

"O-okay..."

That is not what I thought

"So, where are the classrooms?"

"They are in the main building in the middle. Since you are a first year, you are on the second floor."

"Okay, I'm in class A-1, how about you?"

"So, we're classmates?"

"So, you are in class A-1 too?"

"Yep."

"Nice"

That was lucky! I won't be alone in the corner anymore!

I smiled.

We continued to walk through the school. Class starts at 8:00 am and I arrived at 6:30. So, we did some exploring. Well actually, it was only I who did the exploring Francesca was just guiding me. Since, Francesca has been in this school for longer than me.

I checked my watch, it was 7:45.

"I think we should probably head to class now." I said

"Probably, yeah. Let's go!"

She pulled me by my wrist.

"Hey, don't pull too hard!"

"Don't be a baby!" She continued to do exactly the opposite of what I said.

We finally arrived at class. When we got there, it was already 7:55. The area we were at before was really far away, so it took awhile to get here. When we were at the door I heard one simultaneous screech from my now classmates.

It took me a little bit to realize why, then I looked at my wrist which was extremely sore.

I whispered to Francesca, "hey you can let me go now! It really hurts!"

"Oh, sorry."

She finally let go. The screeching continued even further.

What are they? Elementary schoolers? This sort of thing when a girl holds a guys hand is like... I can't even...

I looked for an empty seat, then sat on it.

"Okay class! Today we have a new student. His name is Sheldon Torres. Mind introducing yourself?"

Everyone stared at me.

"Okay" I stood up then went on the stage at the front of the class.

"My name is Sheldon Torres. I'm 16 years old. My birthday is on November 23. My hobbies are piano, guitar and, swordplay. Nice to meet you."
