WHOOO BOY!! This is a little long. I didn't realize this at first, but the last story was my 50th and I just wanna say THANKS to anyone who's read even half of the stories. I still hold so much drive to write more stories so I expect to surpass 100 eventually. Anyway, there's a few things I should say about the story. IT'S NOT PG....NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST. If anything, it's rated M or R at the least. This is also one specific scene that I was contemplating editing out, but I felt it was too important to the story so I kept it in. I'll explain in further detail when you make it to the scene, but you'll be able to skip the scene if need be. The scene gets explained in less explicit detail various times after the scene, but I didn't feel right outright cutting it out, even if a small part of me cringes at the thought of reading through it. Anyhow, sorry for the longwinded explanation, and I really do hope you enjoy this. Thanks in advance. :)

Life has always had its ups and downs, its rights and wrongs, its negatives and positives, etc. But one thing that has always seemed to come up was the lack of change a person could make. People don't know the impact they have until they've made a mistake and everything came crashing down. Only then does the reality that one person can change the world--or at least a large portion of it--can be seen as a possibility.

Lucas was an average kid. He had his friends, his family, his teachers, his acquaintances, and even his enemies. Nothing about him stood out. He was just a blonde, short, and somewhat simple-minded....he was just Lucas.

Lucas lived in a large city called Ultimatum. He was a senior in his school, specifically the school, Smash High. There were various schools in Ultimatum. What made Smash High stand out against the others was its acceptance rate. Only about 1 in 100 people would be accepted into the high school. On the surface, the school isn't much different than all the others...and it's not. Despite this, the school is seen as the shining star of Ultimatum.

Lucas was walking through the crowded and loud halls with headphones over his ears. He didn't do this because he was listening to music though, he just didn't bode well with noises. He finally got to his class, class 322. He entered the classroom and breathed a breath of relief. "Finally..." Lucas said with his soft and high pitched voice. It wasn't ear-shattering high, it wasn't even high compared to the normal girl, it was just high compared to the boys. There were already a few people in the class as is, one of which was his friend, Red. Red stood up from his seat and ran to the back of the class, where Lucas entered. Red was always taller and stronger than Lucas, but his face made him seem much more gentle. Red was equipped with his trademarked red cap, red and white vest, and then his blue--slightly ruffled--jeans. Red chuckled--showing his pristine teeth--as he wrapped his arm around the back of Lucas's neck.

"Lucas, wassup?" Red happily asked. Lucas raised a suspicious eyebrow as he glared at Red's obviously fake smile.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Can't a guy just say hi to his friend?" Red stepped away from Lucas, knowing he failed at hiding his true intention. Lucas crossed his arms. Despite being shorter than Red, Lucas was always able to assert his dominance. Red sighed, knowing there was nothing he could do to escape the situation he idiotically put himself in. "Leaf and I are going out."

"So?"

"....So I'm gonna have to cancel our game night....sorry," Red flinched. He hated canceling plans with Lucas. Ever since Lucas told him about what happened to his family he felt bad whenever he had to cancel. He knew Lucas still kept feelings bottled up inside, despite allowing his friends to drink some of it. After a few silent moments, Red looked back at Lucas and saw his judging eyes. "S-sorry, please, if you want, I can cancel the date," Red flinched once more. Lucas just started chuckling which evolved into a laugh. "Wah...." Red questioned as he watched Lucas laughing as if he'd never laughed before. Lucas gripped his gut when he stopped as he wiped his tears away.
