The day started like any other. Jason got up, brushed his teeth, and washed his long brown hair, which he prized himself over. Jason dried his hair and got dressed, school would start soon, and good grades for a 16-year old meant his future.
The yellow and black striped beanie which Jason had always worn sat on his chair, as it did every day before school. Jason took a moment to put it on and watch an episode of Adventure Time. "If only reality was as simple as fantasy worlds." Jason thought to himself.
Of course, Jason knew he still had to face the real world as soon as he left his house. The real world that didn't even care about him. The real world who killed his parents with a car accident and left him with his neglecting uncle.
Jason got up, and got dressed. His usual attire, sweatpants and a creme-colored T-shirt with black lining.
Jason opened the door, and a gust of fresh air hit him. He was ready for the day, no matter what happened.
Jason preferred to take the more scenic route to the high school. A nice dirt jogging trail up hill, then a nice walk down hill straight to the highschool. Today had a nice breeze, but Jason thought something was odd about it. There was never breeze in the summer where he lived. Jason simply ignored it, and continued on his way.
The sun was bright on this particular day, hurting Jason's soft brown eyes. "Maybe it'll be nicer inside." Jason thought to himself. Suddenly, Jason was greeted with a barrage of bright school lights, and a bell ringing. "I'm late!" Jason said outloud, rushing to get to his locker and books.
Jason knew his future depended on this, but he couldn't focus. All he did during class anymore was doodle Adventure Time pictures. It was his escape from all the stress of the real world. Before Jason even knew it, class was over. Jason hadn't even written down a single thing the teacher had said. "Jason." Jason looked over to see Mr. Glendets, with a disapproving look. "Your grades are dropping. I'll have to talk to your guardian if you keep this up."
"Oh no, that's not necessary, Mr. Glendets. I don-" Jason was interrupted.
"I know about the situation with your uncle, but I have to obey school rules." Mr. Glendets told Jason.
Jason sulked home, preparing to face the wrath of a neglecting, alcoholic uncle, but instead found an empty house.
"Gone to a party, b back in 5" read a poorly written note on the fridge. Jason had the entire house to himself, but he'd rather just go to bed.
Jason didn't even bother undressing. He just plopped down on the bed, tired of all the stress. Jason just wished he could get away from all this. To go somewhere that he could have a life. To have adventure.
A unfamiliar sensation washed onto Jason. Air-space moving around him, a sound almost like a plane coming from all angles.
Jason opened his eyes to find a bright blue sky. He was falling. Jason shut his eyes closed for the impact, but only a slight bang occured. He was already on the ground, and somehow suffered no damage.
Jason groaned and looked up, to see a familiar tree-fort towering above him.
