As seasons passed, The once snow covered fields turned into brilliant bright green wonderlands. The covered white streets once again transformed back to their original states and new life began.
Kyle was having déjà vu as he was staring out the windows of the room into the streets, he had done the very exact same thing the first day he arrived here. But it had been quite some time since that day.
He was currently fifteen and was about to enter school for the first time, Kyle originally wanted to enter school earlier but Lila didn't let him and had him home schooled by someone that the Endersons hired.
Lila was currently pacing around the room in panic as she watched Kyle pick up his school bag and check himself in the mirror. It was Kyle's first day at school and Lila was worried that he might not be ready for it, she also did not want him to leave her everyday to go to school.
"Are you sure about this Kyle? You could always just go next yea-" Lila was saying but was cut off him Kyle who responded.
"You said that last year and the year before that too, I'll see you later." Kyle said to her as he walked out the room and headed for the elevator to go down to the ground floor.
Lila went after him, they went down the elevator as Kyle ignored Lila's pleas. Lila finally stopped and changed the subject to something else.
"You sure you don't want to be driven there? You don't have to walk." Lila said worriedly, Kyle denied letting someone drive him to the school as it would be akin to revealing his identity. He didn't want to be some big character in school and just wanted to enjoy it while he could.
"I'm sure, I'll be back later." They were at the front doors to the skyscraper and Kyle was about to walk out, Lila was standing there like a wife who was sending of her husband to war, incredibly worried.
In the end, Kyle was finally able to step out those doors and continued on his way to school. It was everyone's first day and while on his way he saw a few people wearing the same uniform as him.
He didn't bother with them and continued on his way, he quickly arrived at his destination, Tranquility Highscool. It was quite a big school, according to what he was told he had to attend an opening ceremony in a massive auditorium.
"Emma! Over here!" He followed the crowd into the auditorium as someone called out to a girl behind him, she went over to her friends and they started to chat as they sat down in their seats.
Kyle scouted around for a free seat somewhere and ended up sitting next some guy, the guy noticed that Kyle was walking over to the spare seat next to him and his face brightened up.
"Hey man, pretty big auditorium right?" Kyle sat down and the guy next to him struck up a conversation.
"Yeah." Kyle responded to him.
"My name is Kazuo Katsuro! What's yours." He introduced himself and asked Kyle for his name.
"Kyle Reid, nice to meet you." Kyle wouldn't leave him there hanging and so introduced himself too, and just like that they became friends.
Kyle was a bit worried he wouldn't be able to find friends as it was his first ever time attending a school, but that worry was washed away quite quickly.
"Not only is the auditorium massive, but the entire school is too! I got quite the shock when I was looking it up, it's way bigger that another other school I've been to." Kazuo chatted along with Kyle as they waited for the ceremony to begin.
"Yeah it's quite big." Kyle didn't have anything to compare the size of the school to since he never had attended on before, but did admit it was quite big.
"Ahem." Someone walked up to the microphone that was stationed on the stage and began to talk as everyone else quietened down.
"I welcome you all to Tranquility Highschool, I hope we all have a good year--" The man seemed like the principal of the school as he protrayed his speech, more than half of the students there weren't bothered to listen to it and just closed their eyes and laid back.
The speech didn't take that long and it was over quick, they all exited the auditorium and went to their first classes. Kyle made his way through the school with Kazuo since they were luckily in the same class.
'4A' A sign on a door read while Kyle was walking by, he looked down on his sheet and found that it labeled '4A' as his classroom.
"Looks like we're here." Kuzuo said as they stopped before the door, Kyle slid it open and the sight of a classroom full of people welcomed him.
They made their way to two empty seats beside the window and they sat down in them, Kazuo was infront of Kyle as they began to prepare their stuff. They chatted to each other about random things till the teacher came in.
The door opened after a while and a woman walked in, she made her way to the top of the classroom and started to introduce herself.
"Hello everybody, my name is Noa Akari and I will be your homeroom teacher for the year." She was average looking and most of the boys sighed but also were thankful that it wasn't some ugly hag.
And just like that the a long day of learning started, time flowed like water and it was time to eat. Kyle and Kuzuo picked up their bags as they went outside to eat their lunches. They sat on a bench under a willow tree as they watched a game of football go on. There were groups of girls cheering for the teams too.
"Get on that ball!" One of the captains shouted to a player.
"Tackle him!" The opposite captain shouted as he pointed at the opposing player who was about to take the ball.
They turned to eachother and sparks flew out from where their gazes collided, they were quite competitive and neither wanted to lose.
'So this is school.' Kyle thought as a smile blossomed on his face, they continued to eat and chat as they commented and watched the football came that was going on.
In the end the team with blue jerseys won as the girls cheered in excitement, they ran up to the winning team and started to flirt.
Kyle made a look of amusement as Kazuo started to eye them up from where they were sitting, Kyle even thought that Kazuo was gonna pull out some binoculars and get a better view.
"Got a good enough view?" As Kyle made the shape of binoculars in his hand as he imitated Kazuo.
"Shh, let me enjoy this moment." Kazuo made a shush and continued with his observement, Kyle's mental state has improved greatly over the years that he has been away from the foster home. Allowing him that have a joke once in a while, but sometimes he switches back.
The bell rang soon after as they finished their food and got ready for the next class, physical education or rather shortened to PE.
In the boy's locker room everyone were staring blankly at Kyle as he changed into shorts and a t-shirt, Kyle had quite defined muslces and a six pack as he didn't just lay around all those years while staying at Lila's. He was participated in physical activites and so he gained muscle.
But they weren't staring at that, it was shocking but not as shocking as his scars. Over the years they faded as Kyle grew up and gained height, but they didn't fade enough for them to be completely invisible and could still be seen.
"Where did you get those Kyle? If you don't mind me asking?" Kazuo realised everyone were staring and wanted to ask where did he get them but didn't want to intrude into his privacy, so Kazuo asked instead.
"I got them from an accident I had when I was young." Kyle lied and said he was in a accident when he was a child, what was he supposed to do? Say that he got beat by a man in a foster home? That would destroy his image that he had currently.
"Oh, seems pretty brutal." Kazuo made a look of acknowledgement as so did everyone else but continued on.
"I can't really remember what happened, so I don't know how brutal it was." Kyle just continued to lie, but Kazuo was right. It was pretty brutal.
The locker room continued on in silence till they walked out to the track, what awaited them were the girls and the instructor.
The boy's eyes started to form stars as they drooled, this included Kazuo too. Kyle didn't bother and just awaited the instructor to give instructions on what to do.
"Hello everybody, I'm your PE instructor and my name is Ryochi Guru." He introduced himself and told everyone to jog around the track till he says to stop.
Kyle jogged at normal pace with Kazuo, but a group a boys wanted to try and impress the girls so they sped up from everyone else and got to the front. They were near enough to sprinting and the girls weren't impressed.
So they sped up and sprant, but grew tired quickly and fell back to the line. The instructor just stood there in amusement as he watched his students basically die from exaustion from sprinting as they did not have the endurance to keep it up.
"Mr. Goro when are we going to stop?" One of the girls asked the instructor, it was getting near to the 3rd lap and it was a 400m track. It was getting very hard for people to keep it up but it seemed like Kyle was having no problem and just jogged with Kazuo who was starting to slightly sweat and pant in exaustion.
The group of boys who were sprinting at the start were just walking with their hands above their head in exaustion, they didn't have any energy left and were panting heavily.
"Okay, you may now stop." The instructor said, everyone stopped happily as some sat on the ground attempting to regain the energy they just lost.
"Haaah, how are you not tired? Haah." Kazuo was panting as he asked Kyle who didn't even break a sweat during that jog. Kyle just looked like he went out for a relaxing morning walk.
"Why would I be?" Kyle responded confusingly, he does this every week and even for longer periods as warmup. Why would he be tired?
"I don't even know anymore, Haah." Kazuo continued to pant as he was exausted.
After everyone had calmed down and stopped panting, the instructor said they were going to play a game of dodgeball. They cheered since who doesn't love dodgeball? The teams were picked as luckily Kazuo and Kyle were on the same team too.
"Go!" The instructor blew his whistle and everyone rushed for a ball, Kazuo got two and handed one to Kyle and told him to fire it at someone at full speed.
"Okay." Kyle responded and tensed his muscles up as he flug his arm out and fired the ball at full speed, the ball flew as it went straight for someone who had just turned his back.
BANG
The ball missed and hit the wall behind him, generating a loud bang. The guy who was about to get hit had a look of fear on his face and thought about what if it was him that just got hit with that ball, the instructor had a look of shock as he told Kyle to throw lighter.
"Uhm, Kyle could you please throw lighter next time? You might hurt someone." He asked Kyle if he could lower the power in his shots because he might hurt someone.
"Okay." Kyle answered and continued on playing, he was having fun but everyone had a look of fear on their faces once Kyle got another ball. But were thankful that he followed orders and threw lighter this time and not the full power.
They played for a few more games as it was an even score in the end, physical education ended with the boys staring at the girls walking back into their changing rooms dejectingly. And just like that, that was Kyle's first day at school.
"I'll see you tomorrow!" Kazuo said to Kyle as he walked out of the changing room, only Kyle was left and he quickly changed back into his uniform too as he put back his gym clothes.
'It was a good choice coming to school.' Kyle thought as he was walking out of the changing room and into the school. He walked back to his classroom as he left his school bag there earlier, everyone had already left and he was about to do the same.
But something caught his eye as he was walking out, a woman. She had blonde hair and looked quite beautiful. But that didn't make Kyle stop, he felt like he knew her but didn't quite remember.
She was at the stairs to go down and looked back because she felt something was gazing upon her, she spotted Kyle in a daze and shook it off. A lot of boys stare at her and this one isn't any difference, she didn't mind Kyle and just kept walking down.
But Kyle stood there still in a daze wondering who was she and how did she feel so familar to him, he wanted to get more of a look at her and walked over to the stairs and followed it downwards to try and get another glimpse at her. She was walking out the school gate and was about to get into a black limo.
'Seems pretty rich anyway.' Kyle thought as he looked at the limo, but then switched back to her figure and felt that same feeling once again. In the end he couldn't figure out who she was and she got into the limo and it drove off, he felt like he would know soon though.
It was on the tip of his tongue but he just could not grasp it, Kyle thought he should just drop it as he was walking home. But in the end it stayed on his mind all the way back, Lila was at the door to greet him and bonbarded him with question such as "How did you get on?" "Did you eat enough?" Something along that line.
Kyle answered them in a flurry because another one would come soon afterwards, the questions continued on all the way up to Lila's room and so on. Food was already ready on the table and both of them sat down and eat as he still answered more of Lila's questions.
But he could just not get that woman of his mind, and when asked what was wrong he would just answer with "Nothing." But Lila could clearly see something was going on but he did not let her investigate further as he went off to get a shower.
In the shower you would just think of random things and so did Kyle, as you are more relaxed while showering and can think of more things. But it suddenly hit Kyle, what if that woman was Karolina? She had blonde hair and somewhat the same figure, she would be an adult by now too.
"I knew she felt familar." Kyle didn't think that it was definitely her but wanted to find out, he currently had a 30% certainty though.
He got out after washing and drying himself off as he got into bed, he was tired as it was a long day. But the thought that the woman might be Karolina kept him up.
'I wonder what she has been up to all these years.' He thought of her throughout the night.
