Where am I? What is this? Why am I standing beside a cliff? What is this? A dream? Fine, it is a dream, after all, let's just explore it. As he was walking, he saw a tall grain under the direction he was looking. He tried to touch the grass, and it felt natural. "What? It feels too natural. I know I'm just dreaming. But it feels too real. I never had a dream like this before." Suddenly. He felt something around. "What is that? Show yourself!" Suddenly, a lion appeared and leaped out at him with its mouth wide open towards his head. "Waaaahhhhh!!!!!!" "Hey, Takao! What's the matter?" "I'm sorry. Just a bad dream, Mom." "Oh, yeah. Go now to the shower and have your breakfast. You will be late for school." "Oh. You came to wake me up?" "Yeah." "Thank you, Mom. But I'm no longer a kid. I am already 16." "Well. I'm sorry about that. It's just that you are taking a few minutes more in bed than usual, so I came to wake you up. "It's fine. Well. I'll go to the shower, then eat." He then left the room and headed straight to the bathroom. His shower doesn't take much time. And so after it, he then proceeds to eat his breakfast. What is miso soup? Their family is sadly poor. But he is currently in an exclusive private school. He is enrolled there through a scholarship. Which he got before getting to senior high school. All his classmates are, of course. Rich people. "I'm going out!" "Alright, take care!" It is currently 8:25 AM. His school is just a few blocks away, and on his bike, he always drove every day to go and come back from school. He is currently driving through the streets on his bike. He saw somebody. It is his love interest. Also, his childhood friend. Aki. Who's being driven to their school? They had been friends since they were 6 years old. That started avoiding him when they entered junior high, which makes him so sad since she is the only person he has fallen for, even until now. She is his neighbor who's just a few houses away from their house. Their house is just small. Which they inherited way back from their deceased grandfather. But even though they are experiencing poverty. They are still together and manage to be happy as a family. Takao has a decently attractive face, and there are already some girls who have confessed to him. But he can't choose to have a girlfriend yet, besides t, that he is currently loving a girl who's not gonna be his. But also, he can't give the things his girlfriend will need. So he just chose not to. He is always top 1 of the class. And always an honor student, so he can afford to be in an exclusive school since junior high. But there is a problem with him. He is an introvert. He can't hang out and talk to other people. Which led to him being bullied. Though he is not harmed. People are always judging him. Like calling him a "Weirdo" and other things, as he Never interacted with anybody. He does things his own away nd can only be talked to when there are group activities. He has no friends at all. All he does is just always sit somewhere in school when he has nothing to do. He is playing baseball. But he is not that active, so they chose to put him as a reserve member, but he is good at it. Being a catcher and a power hitter. He is a member of the main roster, but he is not as active as he used to be. He is then placed as a reserve player. Finally, he reached the main gate and proceeded to go inside and park his bike, and locked it. He then walked inside the building towards the hallway. He then found his classroom. But before he entered. 15 minutes before it starts. As he looked at his watch. He decided to grab a quick snack at the cafeteria. He just bought a juice and some potato chips, which are his favorites. After eating it. He then looked at his watch once again. "4 minutes." He decided to go back. And when he got back. A few moments later, their first teacher arrives. Which is a science. After this, the subject will be another subject. Then they will proceed to wear their gym uniforms. Now it is physical education. They had to run a few laps to exercise their bodies. After which, then is lunch. It is currently 11:50 AM as he looks at his watch. He is eating lunch using his own money from his part-time job, which is a great help for his family so that he won't give his parents more burden. He bought an order of udon and took out his homemade riceballs. Surprisingly. His cooking is more delicious than that of his mother. But he doesn't frequently cook despite being talented in it, as it is always handled by his mother. But he does when there are chances he has to. He is currently sitting on a table that is for 4 people. Nobody approached him and asked to share his eats. He ate as he watched his love interest talking with her friends while she was smiling. Of course, it is currently impossible for him to have her. She is rich after all. While is while he is the to,1 se is in elementa, so he can't use it for her to like him. But since she is intelligent herself, having to be top 2 every single time, with them being together as classmates ever since, despite not talking to each other. Left with no way to have her. He always considers just giving up on her, despite being his long-time love, and just focusing on life. But sometimes he hates his life. This world is not good for me. I hope I just get away from this. "I wish I were in a different world."
