Chapter 1 - Prologue Painted with Red (1)

The fact that she had the audacity to say that bewildered me. I already had enough on my plate and she wants me to do WHAT?!?! Listen, I get that you want to be a good teacher and all but you don't even get paid during the god damn summer. Actually, maybe that's why she's doing this to me.

"Hello?? Are you listening to me Arthur?" The lady in front of me asked brashly, probably not even caring about how i felt.

"Yeah... you wanted me to stay after to finish my project." I said with a slightly dejected tone, but not dejected enough to the point where she might ask me "why are you sad it's your fault so be responsible."

The lady in front of me was my Algebra teacher Miss Linnins who was also my Summer School math teacher. I already failed her class so imagine the embarrassment I felt seeing her again for the first day of Summer classes. It was the third week of summer classes however and she had us do a project out of the sheer kindness in her heart. I, already failing her class was not in the mood to do a project, not in the mood to do a MATH project... I didn't even know those existed until now!

As you can see I CLEARLY didn't want to do this project however I sucked it up and did it... ok well i started doing it maybe a night before the deadline due to me being the procrastination prince but... yeah, no buts I totally deserved this one. 

I go to sit down and take out my chrome book. She wanted us to do the project online on loogle slides. It's about researching your favorite math equation and telling the history, creator and facts about it. She also wanted us to present the projects on Friday, which was tomorrow. To be honest the easiest part was the presentation since I'm fine with going up and speaking to an audience, however having a favorite math equation and LEARNING THE HISTORY?! Mad woman i swear. But I did make up the project which was pretty easy, just had to act like I was actually into it but I tell miss Linnins to have a good day and walk out the building. I was happy to finally leave that classroom not only because I had to sit by myself in the same room as the person who denied me of having a long summer break, but also because it was freezing cold in the room due to the summer heat. I decided to check my phone then I noticed it was 5:30 pm.

"You gotta be kidding me..." I uttered, It was whatever, the only problem was no busses went to my stop so I had to call my parents to pick me up. I pull out the calling app and call my dad to ask if he can drive me back home.

...

"This call is unable to send due to a multitude of reasons, either, you have no internet connection or you have no service. To update your service plans, plea-" The robot lady voice cuts out due to me pressing the hang up button.

There goes my evening.

...

I don't know how long it's been, or how long I will be walking for, but I know one thing. fuck miss Linnins and fuck phones. I don't even understand why you need to pay for service, isn't the whole point of phones for "communication??" HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO COMMUNICATE IF I HAVE TO PAY FIRST!!!" the audacity they have to have me pay a thousand dollars for a phone then have me have to pay more money to even use it... MONTHLY?! shows how greedy this world truly is.

All i want to do is go back home and watch the new episode of my favorite anime that's coming out. After 4 long years it finally got a season 3 after the huge cliffhanger in season 2 about the main characters best friend being a lying scumbag and betraying the main character I could only hope to see him be served to pure justice! I loved reminiscing on this story because I loved the characters, plot and world. I wished I could be in it some day... Or any anime world for a matter. I wish I could be in a world with Magic or Skilled swordsmen hell even a Magical girl show! Just something that would allow me to do cool stuff.

I often fantasized and dreamed about making my own series and being in it or just summoned with my friends to another world to defeat the demon king! Worlds like that felt so... Alive and way better than this. Who would want to learn about math when instead they could be learning a new magic spell or summoning beast. Who would want to be playing dodgeball when they could be dodging attacks from a giant monster and battling it with friends! No hate to dodgeball though it is pretty fun.

I wonder if reincarnation or summonings or being spirited away to a distant world is really true because I hope so... It's not that I hate myself It's just I want to be someone different. Oh well though I mean why would me specifically ever be summoned to fight a demon king...

The road was calming and the air was a little bit above warm. I hadn't start sweating yet due to the cars that zoomed by my face cooling me off so it did feel really nice. The atmosphere felt perfect for a walk and listening to music, too bad I couldn't. However I was absorbed in my thoughts about watching the new episode of my favorite anime, getting home, and thinking about how life would be in another magical world than this one. I hated the despair I always felt after waking up in the morning and seeing my prayers to god didn't work on getting me out of this world, It was always hard getting out of bed and doing that, more so that it's the summer now. The only bright side was that I got off 2 weeks before school started again so I was glad about that at least. I decided to pull out my phone and play an offline game to distract me more. I got 5 minutes into it and my enjoyment level was around decent. 

I looked up from my phone and saw I was around 15 minutes away from my house which gave me a little more hope to keep pushing. Timed passed so i decided to look up again.

...

I saw a car drifting at a high speed towards me.

I knew I was going to get injured here, If not I was going to die. My brain didn't register me being frightened yet so I could only brace the incoming impact while I quickly processed my thoughts. "Am I going to die here?" "What's going to happen to my body... I hope I'm not crippled" "I don't want to get hurt" "I'm scared." Thoughts flowing through my mind all I once until my heart let out one spike of pain, realizing I was in shock.

...

*𝑩𝑨𝑴*

...

I was knocked unto the grass beside me. I was in total pain. My ribcage felt cracked and the tire of the car was on me. the weight of the car was the thing hurting the most, most likely. It was the worst pain of my life, I couldn't even let out anything, not a gasp, a scream or a mutter due to the sheer pain I was feeling. Blood splattered everywhere, on the tires of the car, the headlights and on the grass. My vision started to get blurry, then foggy, then... Nothing. The last thing I saw was darkness.
