Time quickly flew by and soon, the bell rang indicating that it was home time. Every student enthusiastically stood up from their chairs as they couldn't wait to get home and slack off instead of a certain person.
Sean, dejected and listless, got up from his chair and carried his bag on his back as he made his way to the exit. He just wanted to get out of this hellish school and have some rest. As he got out of his classroom, he saw Lyra also coming out of her classroom and in that moment their eyes met for a brief moment before Lyra retracted her gaze with a disgusted look.
Sean shook his head slightly as he headed for the school exit. He got into the school bus when he got out and chose a seat at the back since he was one of the last students to get off the bus. As more and more students came, they all chose their seats but no one chose to seat with him. It was like he was a plague or something.
The bus started and it started its journey of dropping students on their bus stations.
...
After a few hours, Sean got to his bus station. It was already half past seven then. He grabbed his backpack tightly as he vigilantly walked to his apartment where the school had given him a room.
It was not recommended to walk in these streets at a time like this. In this part of Zanetopia there were a lot of thieves and goons that the crime rate was always high and they would mostly be active at this time also.
And there was also the fact that Sean had no magic and could not protect himself when a certain scenario arises so he was in a tight situation.
Luckily, he managed to reach his apartment safe and sound and hurriedly unlocked the door as he dashed inside. He locked the door and threw his backpack on the table before laying powerless on the bed.
His apartment was not that big. It was a three room apartment consisting of a toilet, another room which he made into a bedroom that had a bed, a table and a chair, and a worn out couch near the bed. the other room was empty since he had no money to buy any item so he kept the door to that room locked.
As he lay on his bad, the events of today started playing in his mind. Tears started flowing from his eyes as he stared at his worn out ceiling.
He raised his hand and grabbed the pendant that was silently resting on his chest and brought it to his eye level before opening it. Inside he saw pictures of his parents. His mother was a beautiful woman with soft blonde hair and gentle blue eyes, she had a gentle aura around her.
His father was a handsome man with silky black hair, blue eyes and a chiseled face. He had a lean but muscular build. He had a confident and peaceful aura around him.
Sean couldn't help but caress the pictures as more tears streamed down his cheeks.
"Mom, dad. Why did you leave me?" he whispered as he closed his eyes and brought the pendant to his chest and held it tight for comfort.
As he lay like that, he unknowingly slept until morning. As the sunlight shone through the window and flashed on his face, he slowly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling blankly for a while before letting out a heavy sigh. P
His already low mood plummeted even lower because today was Friday and on this day every year, their school would host a school tournament where every student would participate and showcase their strength. Those who won would get a generous reward and a chance to participate in the inter school tournament.
In Sean's case this was a lost cause since he was considered the weakest of them all without magic. But even if he was weak, he wouldn't go down without a fight. There was nothing to loose anyway.
With that he got up from his bed, went to the bathroom and took a shower, wore his track suit since today was a sports day and went out.
As usual, he got to the bus station and waited for his school bus to arrive and within no time the bus arrived and he got on it.
As he entered, everyone locked their eyes on him for a minute before looking away just like he was nothing. Sean didn't care as he was used to it. He sat on his usual seat and closed his eyes for meditation.
The bus took off and did a few rounds collecting students all over before heading to their school. When they got to the school everyone enthusiastically got off the bus with anticipation written all over their faces.
Just as they were about to enter the school, a roar of a sports car as it dashed to the parking area. It did a few drifts before skillfully parking on one of the parking slots.
When two people got off the car, everyone was flabbergasted. A very handsome teenage boy looking like 18 years old and a beautiful girl looking to be at 17 years old got off holding hands.
Everyone knew the boy, he was the son of the city Mayor, Dean Ryder. He was also popular because he was one of the talented students who unlocked a lighting element. He was considered one of the strong students.
Beside him was Lyra Flynn. The very girl who broke up with Sean in front of everyone. As they stood infront of everyone, Lyra looked around as if looking for someone until finally locking onto a certain person.
"Ohh, you decid3d to come? I thought you'd hide in your little rat hole" She said as she kept her eyes on the certain person.
