Chapter 1 - Chapter one:The blank page

A young male could be seen sitting at a desk a notebook and a black pen were the only other items that were on the small desk.

The boy traced his fingers on the table and slowly noted every detail his finger slowly maneuver across the black and white notebook until it landed on the pitch black pen.

With a swift move of his hand the pen entered his grip and he began to write in the notebook.

Frustration was evident as the boy tore handful of pages out of the bland notebook.He slowly rose to his feet and closed the partially destroyed notebook.

The boy took a few breaths in to calm himself after he finished he slowly exited his room amd entered a small bathroom.He quickly stripped and hopped into the shower.

Flowing warm water bombarded his skin and a smile appeared on his face his scared mouth slowly extended as he enjoyed the hot shower.

He quickly finished cleaning himself and exited the shower he dried himself and got dressed.The boy opened and closed the bathroom door upon exiting the room.

He shortly arrived in a kitchen and after glancing at a clock he began to prepare to cook breakfast.

"Six o clock"

His raspy voice rang throughout the kitchen as he grabbed various ingredients and cooking utensils.

The boy momentarily pondered about what he should make deciding upon what he would make he grabbed flour,sugar and other ingredients.

After thirty minutes two plates of pancakes were sitting on the kitchen table along with a plethora of fruits and some honey.A glass of orange juice sat next to one plate while a mug full of piping hot coffee sat next to the other plate.

The sound of footsteps rang throughout the house the footsteps neared the kitchen and a young girl around thirteen years old walked in and sat down across from the boy.

"Goodmorning Kai"

Her voice gave her tiredness away.The young boy now known as Kai smiled.

"Goodmorning Sora"

Kai greeted his younger sister and began eating his pancakes which he finished in five minutes along with his coffee.

Sora dug into her pancakes her smile brightened with every bite.

"You know if writing doesn't work out becoming a cheffing is also on the table."

A teasing smile was on her face.Kai's mood dimmed a bit but he quickly rolled his eyes "Yeah,yeah it's thanks to my writing that we can even afford this place."

Sora rolled her eyes and finished her breakfast.Kai smiled "Alright get your grumpy behind out of my kitchen."

The girl rolled her eyes a small left the kitchen to prepare for school.

Kai sighed upon recalling what his sister said he had recently been struggling with his writing after multiple amounts of very successful books Kai's writing began stagnating. The last book he wrote was called .

"What is love?"

The boy stopped writing after the stagnation of his book it was clear that he had lost a lot of confidence.

Kai shook his head and quickly cleaned the kitchen he walked to his room and quickly prepared for school.

The boy said the word with a hint of bitterness in all fairness Kai had no problems at school academically and physically he was one of the top students but he found it annoying.

Kai stood before a mirror and his fingers subconsciously moved to his mouth or rather the scars next to it.The boy grabbed a few bandages and covered the sides of his mouth.

After pushing down some painful memories Kai got up and left his house he and Sora left for school.

They arrived at the school in around fifteen minutes the pair split up and entered their respective classes.

Kai sat down at his desk and glanced out of the window shortly after he arrived the class began filling up.

The boy glanced at his classmates he felt out of place he and his classmates were all very different.He was one of the few students that's skin had more color.

His hair was long and braided his style of braids changed every few days courtesy of his sister who loved braiding his hair.

Those were a few of the noticeable differences between him and his classmates along with Kai's reserved nature.

A middle aged man walked in and the class became silent.The teacher had arrived and began talking.

"Alright my beloved nuisances quite down as you all know the annual school athletics competition is coming up and this time I want everyone to participate maybe then tou can all win the barbecue reward."

His eyes fell upon Kai and a few other lazy students.One of the lazy students snorted "Alright,alright I'll help you all since it's obvious that you all need my help."

A lot of snorts and rolling of eyes happened the teacher cleared his throat "Like always a group of twenty students who did good will be taken to competitions against other schools."

A chorus of yes teacher rang out.Kai sighed the annual athletic competition happens once every year close to the end of the year usually around September.Different year groups would go against each other the seniors[year twelves] would go against the year eleven and the year tens meaning Kai who is a year ten student would have to go up against his seniors.

The teacher stood up and said "All right I'll read your name and you will tell me what you wish to participate in, minimum one event and maximum five events.

Like that names were called out with their corresponding events that followed Kai did not pay much attention until his name was called.

"Alright Kai what will it be considering your records show you exel in track what will you pick."

A smile was on the teacher's face and a his eyes were filled with smugness Kai had managed to get of with I'm sicks and so on it looks like the fossil would not let him off today.

Kai sighed and begrudgingly gave his reply "I'll do the 100 meter,200 meter, long jump and high jump."

The teacher smiled and nodded quickly writing everything down."
