A Teenager's Life

Augustus School-an institution of legacy and excellence, where history whispers through the corridors and greatness is expected at every turn. With elite sports facilities and a reputation for nurturing prodigies, it's more than just a school-it's a proving ground.
Kai, fifteen and in his third year of middle school, fits in well enough. He's sharp in class, steady on the badminton court, and surrounded by good friends. He's not chasing popularity or romance like some of the others. On paper, his life is smooth. But beneath the surface, something doesn't sit right.
There's a quiet restlessness in him, a feeling he can't quite name. Each day feels like a battle he's not sure he's winning. As he moves through the rhythms of school life, Kai begins to sense that the answers he's looking for aren't in textbooks or trophies-they're somewhere deeper, somewhere harder to reach.
This is the story of a boy who seems ordinary to the world, but whose inner world is anything but. A journey of quiet questions, subtle shifts, and the search for something he lost long ago-the simple joy of being alive.
