Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Routine

It's been 13 years since the death of Yoshio's Parents, and that day is still vivid. He feels like it just happened yesterday. Every day Yoshio woke up at 5:00 in the morning, He arrived at school 30 minutes before Class.

After Class He works at the Café near the Campus, then straight at the Convenience Store to work there up until 12 in the middle of the night. Everyone always wonders why he maintains being at the top of the Class while doing all those tiring jobs just to cover his expenses.

He started doing this routine when he was at the age of 17, He believes that staying at the orphan won't do anything. When he had free time he visited the orphanage where he used to live.

It's already 5:00 in the morning, He goes straight to the bathroom to get ready. He put the bread on a toaster and make a coffee while waiting for the bread. As usual, he only eats Bread and drinks coffee every morning

"Well it's better than nothing," He said while chewing the piece of bread.

He packs his things before stepping outside of the Apartment. Instead of taking a bus He just walk to school. It doesn't usually take his time to walk some of the students complain to their parents about walking to school.

"Aren't you getting tired?" Yoshio said at his seatmate. He arrived at his desk with a piece sandwich and a Bottle of Coke greeted him.

He already knows who is the person behind this, Kim Jace his Half Canadian Best friend who always buys him food every morning.

Yoshio sometimes complains about Jace always buying him food. But Jace only said

"You're my friend, It's nothing besides I got a money to spare"

Yet There's nothing Yoshio can do about his Stubborn friend. He just accepts what Jace gave him, even though he complains about it. Jace does not stop.

'Well, Jace kinda helps me by buying me food'

He said on his mind while munching the food Jace gave him.

'I guess The Professor's late, it's been past 30 minutes since I arrived'

He open his Book to study for a bit while waiting for the Professor to come. While reading the book someone place a keychain on his table.

"Look it's your favorite Anime character" As his friend Jace Said while pointing to the keychain.

"Where did you get this?" He asks out of curiosity.

"From you"

"What?!"

"It's yours, you so busy with your book and you didn't even notice me taking it"

Yoshio can't believe what He just heard from the words coming out of Jace's Mouth. He just takes the Keychain and Puts it back where it usually belongs.

Few more minutes and the Professor arrived.

"Sorry, class I'm Late," The Professor said while wiping the sweats from his Face...

'He seems to be in a hurry while coming here' Yoshio said on his mind while taking out his notebook and writing everything down.

Half of the day had been past and it was already lunchtime. He started packing his things before stepping out of the room.

"Let's Go," Jace said and put his arms around Yoshio's shoulder and Drag him to the cafeteria.

"When are we going to do the assignment?" He asks while eating the food.

"Don't eat with your mouth full" He said while thinking of date to do the assignment that they're going to present.

"Saturday, around afternoon"

"Okay, Roger that"

'He's always playing or joking around'

This is what Yoshio thinks of his own best friend. But It gets Yoshio uncomfortable whenever Jace is Quiet.

They go to their next class together. As usual, Yoshio studied before the professor start discussing.

"Can I borrow a pen? I think I lost mine" Jace said in a low tone of voice. Yoshio Sigh and give him a pen.

'He's rich yet he can't even have a pen with him'

The Class end and it's time to go home Every day Jace always Hangs out at The Café where Yohio Works.

"What Can I get you, sir?" Yoshio said while holding a piece of paper, with a look on his face.

"Can I get a piece of Strawberry Cake and Latte?" Jace said with a teasing look.

"You always order the same every day," Yoshio said and Leave him to get his order ready.

Jace leaves and It's already around 7 in the evening which is his shift is already done. It's time for him to work at the Convenience store.

'Now I wonder why all those students complain about walking'

The Convenience store he's working in is pretty far but to save some money he always walks there. He thought that He was going to be late but he just got there on time.

"Pardon my intrusion, Mr. Lee?" He calls for the manager's name. In a few more seconds an Old Man walks out of the Storage room.

"Oh, You're Here," The Old man said which is Mr. Lee the store's manager. He put his uniform on and start working.

'Just wiping the floor makes me feel tired'

"Uhm... Excuse me?" A customer called.

"Yes?"

"Would you ring this please?" The customer said and placed the items she got. While waiting for another customer He organizes and cleans the place.

"It's already 10" He mumbled under his breath.

"Would you ring this please"

He didn't even notice a customer because of zoning out. He rings all the items and places them in a bag.

'Self this is just a normal day don't expect anything

His day usually goes like this, Go to school, Work, and Go home. Sometimes he didn't even bother himself eating and straight to bed because of tiredness.
