Chapter 1 : The Beginning of the End...
"What! How did this happen?" It feels like just a few minutes ago I was sitting in my room and, oh yeah... I thought.
Anyway my name is Hunter. I'm a 13 year old boy. I'm a bit timid and a little bit athletic. But I shine in academics. I'm an A student. You should know I'm a big videogame freak, particularly Mario. I owned every Nintendo system {sigh. Even Virtual Boy} My shelves are decorated in video game merchandise. Video games made me happy. I live with my dad in an apartment in California. Everything had been going fine until a few months ago. You see my dad was our only source of income and he had a very well paying job. Then a couple of months ago he lost it. It was awful. We had trouble trying to pay the bills. My dad had to start working 2 jobs so we didn't get to spend much time together with school and all. He started to become more grouchy and never wanted to talk. I began to feel so alone. I got very depressed and my grades had started to go down. School had just ended a couple of days ago, we had gotten a letter that said if I didn't go to summer school I wouldn't be able to go to the 8th grade. My dad was extremely upset, he didn't have the money to pay for it and he got even more depressed and angry with me. I felt like a real dunce. I couldn't believe it . Not only did this mean that I would have to repeat the 7th grade because I didn't have money but it also meant I would spend less time with my dad.
I overheard my dad one night on the phone, I heard him say this. "You can take him? I cant provide for him anymore and he has been nothing but a bother. Do you think that someone would really adopt a 13 year old quick?"
My world crashed down I ran out of the kitchen as fast as I could. I didn't believe my ears. I bolted into my room as fast as I could with tears streaming down my face. I slammed and locked my door. I crashed into my bed and cried hard. I wished I was gone, I wished it wasn't true. " Why, why, why, why, why". I sobbed. "Why cant I be in a place that will always be better". I looked up at my shelf and gazed upon a statue of Mario Bowser and Luigi. "I bet they never have to deal with these problems". I muttered through my tears. "I wish I was there". " What point is there to live in this world anymore!" I yelled. Suddenly everything went black...
I woke up on a field of grass with a giant fountain in front of me. My vision was still a bit blurry so I couldn't make it out. I stood up feeling a bit heavier. My vision became steady again and when I looked at the fountain I could've sworn it looked like the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom Peach. When I walked over to the fountain and looked at my reflection. I gasped "What! how did this happen?"
