The World, yes, the world as a whole, it was so strange, wasn't it? so full of limitations and wrongs, sorrow and sadness, it was a pitiful thing, Yet here and there people seemed not to care and just keep living on like nothing was going on around them, so gray, so dull; How I wished I could be just like all of these distant people, living away life, withering with no worries or emotions.

I was slightly propped in my windowsill, watching down below as the world kept moving slowly, such menial things seemed to lose their meaning when you really tried to observe them, like repeating a word over and over, you start to decompose it, and, before your eyes, it just doesn't make any sense anymore.

The clock marked 6:53, I decided to pick up my backpack, as I took my glasses from my bedside table, calmly putting them on, not that I needed them, my eyesight was better than average; I decided to leave just then, Nobody would want to be late for their first day.

As I made way out of my small house, locking it as I went, I decided to cheer up a bit, maybe this would be a new beginning, maybe this time things wouldn't turn so bad, hey, it was a new city, a new school, who knew, I could only hope things didn't turn bad; After all, I just wanted some calm.

The walk was bland, boring, I walked there almost as if on autopilot, when I reached the large school entrance, barely could I remembered the path I took to reach this place, as it just vanished my mind, It seemed as I had arrived somewhat early, as the school didn't seem as full as it should, I looked up, the imposing, tall structure of the building, and what it meant to me, it was all rather intimidating. I decided to make my path around, trying to find my bearings, I was supposed to be in room B-4 if I remembered correctly, and, once the alarm signaling the start of first period rang, I made my way in, going to the further back of the classroom, in a corner hidden from view.

I just sat there for the next few minutes, as the classroom slowly filled in, after a while, the teacher entered the room, he sat down and started greeting everyone and hoping for a good new year of studies, he started talking about a few more things, but I could hardly pay attention, and after a while, The corner of my mind hears him asking for the new transfer student.

I stood up, giving a small, fake smile, before I started speaking; "My name is Asada Shino, I'm new here" I felt the eyes of the other students all focus on me, and I just wished I could disappear to a dark and comfy place "I hope we can be friends" I said, not really meaning it, sitting down after finishing my sentence, The teacher just gave a small smile before he continued on with his lectures, and I just spaced away.

Before I could notice it, the entire day had already passed, as the chimes sang the end of the last period, once again, I found myself in front of the school, nobody greeted me as they went, there were no insults like there used to be, I found myself giving a small smirk, they were all ignoring me, I didn't exist.

This was just what I wanted.

But how was I wrong.
