Chapter 1: In The Beginning
Winter mornings in Moose Lake, Minnesota. Everyone seemed to wear winter jackets as they undergo the morning commute. Although the snow hasn't came down much, but look around the street, home yards, and the sidewalks are already some snow piling up, even in the garden the pond has been frozen and seen some people are jogging around the park.
Around a few feet from the park, there is a simple house. The home yard, there is a pile of snow that has been cleaned. A paperboy-bird then cycled through in front of the house and throw the newspaper to that house. An adult female blue macaw opened the door and take the newspaper.
"Well, let's see what's new today." She said with a cup of coffee in her left wing.
She entered into the house after closing the door, and walked toward the kitchen where there is a dining table in the middle. She put her coffee and newspaper on the dining table and lit a toaster. Then, she set up two plates on the dining table and pour a glass of milk and put it on the dining table.
" Alright, breakfast is ready." Then, the sound of the alarm from a room which was on the upper floor was heard. She walked up the stairs, at the threshold of the stairs there is a hallway. The hallway wasn't too long, there are only four door... two doors on the right side and two doors on the left side. She approached the first row, right side door and knocked it,
"Blu? Breakfast is ready." However, there was no answer from inside,"Blu, wake up... quickly, otherwise your breakfast will be cold." And still no answer from inside,"Okay Blu, I'll be waiting at the dining room." Then she went down the stair
In the room, there is a bird... snoring with a blanket wrapped around him tightly. Blue macaw, 16 years old and he named Blu. Beside him there is a small cupboard as high as bed, not far from him. On it, there is an alarm clock that rings loud. He began to squirm and started to open his eyes. With half awake, he turned off the alarm and wake up from his sleep. He yawned and began to walk out of his room, after he closed the door he walking down the stairs and saw his mother is preparing breakfast for him.
His mother, Helen, is the only family who he has, his father named David, he had died while Blu was a child. He died because of a strange disease and no one know the cure. Blu felt challenged to know what the disease is and what the cure for it, therefore over the last ten years, he always do a simple experiment. Now, he's living with his mother, and they opened a coffee cafe next to their house. It's simple, but every day will be crowded by customers due to artificial Helen coffee is unique and well-known delicacy in Minnesota.
Back to the present...
"Good morning, Mom." Blu greeting his mother with a big grin across his face.
"Good morning, let's enjoy breakfast together." Helen set up two slices of bread that have previously been roasted. She spread the bread with pineapple jam and put it on a plate.
Blu walked to the table and sat down in his chair, leaned back and sit down, "Thanks, mom."
"You're welcome." Helen replied with a smile on her face. And they have breakfast quietly as usual.
A few minutes later Blu finished his breakfast and go pick up his bag, "All rights, Mom, I'm leaving."
However, his mother stop him, "Wait a minute, Blu." Then she took a knitted scarf from her room, the scarf is blue with a yellow stripe, "Wear this, the weather isn't good outside."
Blu grab it and said, "Thank you mom. It's very beautiful." Blu wrapped it around his neck.
Helen nodded, "Alright, be careful, sweetheart."
"Okay, I love you, Mom." Blu then walked and waved.
"Love you too." Helen waved her hand as well.
Blu attend Moose Lake High School. He include genius student with various scientific works that he created. Like last year, he created a device that could make him fly as high as several feet. The device such as shoes and underneath there is a rocket booster with solar energy.
Back to the present...
Blu walking along the sidewalk which there is a snow, his childhood indeed liked snow. He remembers when he was a child, he often play snowball fight with his parents, a month before his father died. Blu trample the snow and he felt a cold sensation in his feet.
He arrived at a bus stop and wait for the school bus. The bus stop was quite well maintained, and snow has been cleared. He sat in a chair, when a female blue macaw, same age with him, came and sat beside him. She's Jewel, she is a bird that made his heart beat faster when near her, or in other words, she is a bird that is liked by him, plus she is his classmate.
Jewel is the daughter of Eduardo and Clairine. Unfortunately, Clairine had died when Jewel was a child. Her childhood was arguably an unpleasant, because at the age of 4 years, her home was robbed by a group of armed criminals, and since then, the existence of Clairine, aka her mother isn't known. Some say she was murdered and some say she was kidnapped while the robbery was going on. But who know exactly is Eduardo. However, Eduardo always keep his mouth and never said about it to the media, for whatever reason.
Back to the present...
Blu just silent while subduing his face. Jewel then saw him and greeted him with a smile, "Good morning. You're Blu, aren't you?" Jewel said, beautiful and melodious voice that made his heart beat even louder and his face turned red.
Blu then lifted his head and looked at Jewel, "Y-yes, yes... obviously. It's me." Blu replied nervously, "Oh she's so beautiful." Blu said to himself.
"Ah... Blu? Why is your face red? Are you okay?" Jewel asked, then she lifted her right wing and touching his forehead.
Blu's face grew red, "Jewel, it's okay, I'm okay." Blu answered shyly, then the school bus came and Blu immediately rose from his seat, "It seems the bus is coming."
Jewel turned her head and saw the school bus coming towards them, "You're right. Okay, ready to learn, genius?" Jewel said, and struck gently on the shoulder of Blu.
"Y-yes... of course" he answered shyly.
Once the bus comes, they get into the bus and sat in the same chair. Blu still feel awkward beside her. Jewel start a conversation by asking him many things, and Blu answered them smoothly but shyly.
Jewel is still curious about Blu's face that still red, she worried if he isn't okay,"Blu, are you sure it's okay? Your face is still... red." she said.
"It's okay Jewel, it's a natural reaction. My face is usually flushed when exposed to cold air." Blu answered shyly, trying to find excuses,"Anyway, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
Blu felt awkward, "Ah... Jewel?" Blu said shyly, "Do you..." However, before Blu finishing his question, he is gripped by a hyacinth macaw. His name is Charles, he is a respected bird in Moose Lake High School because he was the son of the principal of the Moose Lake High School, plus he is the leader of the most feared like-gangster in the school. That's what he thinks.
"If you dare to touch my scarf with your filthy hands." Blu said, trying to threaten Charles, when he is gripped by him.
"Or what?!" Charles smiled sardonically, "You know, you can't even touch me."
"Charles What are you doing !?" Jewel shouting, "It's enough! Let him go!"
"As you wish..." Charles then release Blu, but a bit rough, so Blu fell hard enough, "Opps, sorry. But you know the rules, right? Losers. She is mine and you do not deserve to sit with her."
With endure the pain Blu stood and smiled coldly, "Ha, yours? You think she is arbitrarily goods that can be owned by someone? Goods there must be proof of ownership. You know, Char. You're... coward." Hearing his words, Charles became angry. He pushed Blu until he fell backwards. All the student saw it, but no one dared to intervene, even the bus driver doesn't want to interfere.
"Charles Stop!" Jewel cried in a high voice, "If you hurt him again.." She paused for a moment and sighed, " I don't want to be... yours."
Charles turned his body, then bowed his body and whispers something to Blu, "You are lucky this time nerds. Next time... I will not give you a pardon." He snickered and walking to Jewel.
Blu woke up and he saw Jewel stared at him, from her eyes, he knew that Jewel is forced to doing this, "I'm sorry, Blu." Jewel said quietly to Blu.
" I'm sorry about earlier. I have to do something." said Charles.
Blu motionless, his eyes fixed on Jewel, "Jewel... I..." Blu said to himself.
A few minutes later, the school bus has arrived at Moose Lake High School. It looks simple, but the school has complete facilities, such as the baseball field, and football field located to the north of the school building. The school building is quite large with three floors and has over dozens of classrooms. Receiving hundreds of students and receive a dozens of the best teachers. However, there are some brat who always bullying the weak. but, that's life... They're just kids who are still growing up.
"Okay kids, here we are." Said the bus driver as he opened the bus door, "Please, exit in an orderly manner and do not push each other."
They get out of the bus in an orderly manner, each having a partner to talk when they will get off the bus, except Blu. He just sat motionless in the back seat, his chin drooped to his chest, his eyes are fixed on the scarf around his neck.
The driver is a toucan bird, her saw him and walked over to him, "What are you doing here?" The driver asked before her sat down next to him, "Class will start soon, ya know. You're still thinking about her, aren't you?"
Blu lifted his head and turned to the driver, "What are you talking about?"
"Kid, you know. When I saw you, I thought about myself 20 years ago." Blu listening to his words,"A terrible experience and I can't forget. Strange indeed, something that hoped to be forgotten, in fact can't be forgotten. Instead, it will be remembered forever." The driver sighed,"Well... okay."
Suddenly, he got up from his chair and ran out. Just before getting off the bus, Blu turned to the driver and with a smile he said, "Thank you." Then he went down and ran to the school buildings.
When Blu passing the entrance, he tripped up by a rope which end of the rope is held by two hyacinth macaw, two of them is friends of Charles. Blu has fallen, and all the books of his bag was out, Blu crawling and taking his books, but one of his books is trampled by other hyacinth macaw.
"What?" His name is George, he stepped on Blu's book, "You lose something?"
"Yes, please don't trample my book."
"Opps, sorry I didn't see it." George took it and threw it in the trash, "I think the right place is there." George laughed out loud, "Come on kids, our business is finished." And two hyacinth macaw who had stumbled him, following him.
Blu just silent, he walked into the trash and picked up his book that has smelly because the trash was already full of garbage. He cleaned it with a tissue and put it into his bag. He then saw Jewel and Charles who are in front of class. Apparently, Charles just drove Jewel to her class. Indeed, he is not in her class and his class was down the hall, next door to the stairs.
Blu walked toward Jewel to say hello, "Hey Jewel."
Jewel looking for that voice and she turned toward Blu. 180 degrees expression on her face was change when she saw Blu, a cheerful face, "Hi Blu." And when Blu has been beside her, Jewel said, "I'm sorry about earlier. He is really a bad boy."
"It's okay Jewel, I'm sure he's a good boy. But, I also would be upset if my girlfriend was having an affair. "
Jewel gasped, "Ha...?! Girlfriend? No Blu, he's not... my boyfriend. I don't like him. But honestly, you're a good boy, Blu. And I..." Jewel lowered her face with a small smile.
"And what?" Blu curious.
"Never mind. Anyway, you have finished your homework, haven't you?" Jewel tried to change the subject.
"Sure."
"Would you like teach me? There are some that I don't understand. "
"With pleasure..."
And they both, together go to class and sat at the same table while studying together. Blu explain some things one doesn't understand and Jewel listened attentively. Until Jewel looked at Blu with a smile on her face. Blu felt awkward when she looked at him like that, "Ah... Jewel? Is there something on my face?"
Jewel surprised and immediately looked away, "Uh?, n-no.., nothing. Please, continue."
School bell rang loudly, class has beed started. Everyone ran into the classroom. An owl entered the classroom of Blu and Jewel, she brings a enough big book on her wings. Class rep stood up and led the tribute to her. She placed the book on the desk, and advanced in front of the class, she introduced herself loudly and firmly,
