"Wake up, Marshal! You'll be late for class"
"Five more minutes, Lian, I still haven't had enough sleep yet, ah!" Marshal said sluggishly still trying to sleep.
"If you don't come down for breakfast this instant Mom will be pissed off and you won't have anything to eat".
"Fine" he replied.
Marshal jumped off from his bed still looking sluggish and looked around his room. He has a black electric guitar near the side of his bed for practicing his skills in playing, a table near his door for studying,and a closet for his clothes. He also a bookshelf to keep his collection of comics and textbooks for school. Across the room he also has a gaming pc which had a red RGB theme to it. Posters from the shows he watched was across the wall of his room. He stood up from his bed and walled towards his closet to wear his uniform before going downstairs for breakfast. Once he sat down at the table the look on his mother's faced doesn't seem to be pleased.
"You've been up all night again, aren't you? Please take care of yourself Marshal. I worry about you. I can't have my eldest son fluctuate his grades for the school year. If there's anything going on, you can tell me" his mother looked at him with a worried expression.
"Yes mom. I will, thanks for being concerned" he replied.
"You don't have to worry about me all the time, you know" he thought to himself.
After eating breakfast, Marshal started walking to school which was only a few blocks away from their house. Their neighborhood was small and quiet which makes it an ideal place to settle into.
"The neighborhood seems really quiet today" he remarked and slipped in his pockets to wear his earphones. Marshal's everyday routine consisted of walks to school while playing his favorite lo-fi songs playlist. His morning stroll was interrupted by a phone call from one of his friends he sighed out of disappointment before answering the call.
"Nile, what up?"
"Oh, hi Marshal just asking why you were absent the other day we were kinda worried since our finals exams are coming up. "
"I was just sick the other day no worries. " he lied Marshal was conflicted about going to school because he wanted to pursue his passion for music and the arts.
"Do you wanna come and hang out with us today for an after school review session today? We'll help you with your requirements if you'd like" Nile asked.
"Thanks Nile, but I'm really having a hard time right now. I just feel like not being in the mood for school these days".
"Its okay to feel down, bro. We just missed you, you know. We're still your friends after all me, you, Denmark and Nero. Say how about I treat you for some lunch what do you say? " Nile said in a provocative tone.
"Alright, I'll give you this once and just once Nile" Marshal said as he happily complied.
"Thats the spirit! I'll buy your favorite hotdogs when we go to the cafeteria".
