Chapter 11: School change

Ray disappeared; he became inpatient as he had to go to school.

'I am not meant to miss any lessons'

He was standing and moved the stinky bins, he saw leftovers, which he turned his head to. He mumbled, "I have been here before, but it feels distant, was it because it was a bad memory."

He sighed (being ten chapters in and we haven't even gotten into the system), he got his resolve and started walking to school. Since he did not know the area, he retraced his steps to go back to the crowded street.

It was loud but he just moved on. All the distinct sounds rung into his head, he put his foot forward and the crunch made was heard to the little pebble. He was in a daze, from all thar running, then he was still for ten minutes.

He was getting drowsy, but he moved on.

CRRRRRR!

He heard a scraping sound, it was coming from above, close to a window, it was dirty, but you could still see through, it was also open. A person was up in the white painted house.

'Why always white?'

He blinked a bit, swaying his arms and moved on.

BEEP!

Car was screaming, but he heard it again, the same place.

CRRR!

Somebody was underneath the noise, they were sweeping the outside of their shop, an old lady. He looked directly were the sound came.

CRR-!

It was an abrupt stop, he saw it unfold as the sound was a plant pot, being moved by a person in the window unintentionally. It was falling and falling directly on to the lady.

It was like it was going in a time loop, slow motion, he was fast and moved fast, he was muddled by this. He dashed, intervening to make sure there was no accident.

CRASH!!!

The pot with a plant in it broke into piece, the soil scattered everywhere on to the grey ground, the plant keeping a lot of soil around it. Kumas pushed the lady out of the way, he was on top of her, she was puzzled, everybody around was puzzled, until they saw the pot. They heard it but didn't react to it.

'I moved and heard it perfectly, he stood up, a bit less tired as he was muddled by what was going on.

He nodded.

'Something is different'

He started jogging instead of walking because he wanted to keep this energy. Thoughts were running wild in his mind, like a rocket going round and round.

'I am different, I mentioned that I would like to live in one of those houses'

He turned a corner, not skidding but perfectly twisting to it. Nothing was in his way, nobody was chasing him, his motivation to go to school was that big, but he was still running.

'I would have never done that before; I would have never imagined myself in it'

Ge swerved around, Bins in the way, the pavement was miniature compared to the one before.

'Before I would think that the house looked nice, but I would not want to go in there as I thought I wouldn't be able to'

He recalled what had happened the last time he went through there. He was being dragged by a group, the head was Cindy and Ray. He remembered the conversation the were having to decide who would pick on him.

'Why me?'

He was walking with them, two behind them, four in front. Ray and Cindy were talking and there would be an occasional punch, which he would not react to.

Then he looked left, the two behind laughed hysterically and so they chatted about it.

"What? Are you serious? Daniel- "

He clouded it out, he looked at the same house he passed by in real time.

"What a nice house."

He clenched his fist as he ran to the school. It was a straight line to the school.

"Dammit, I have to do something?"

He arrived on the school's property and walked to the reception door, even though sweating he was feeling inspired.

"Let's do this." He pumped his fist in the air.

'Huh?'
