Boring Life
The sun rose today just like any other day, slowly and into his eyes. Daiki Takahashi tightly closed his eyes to try and block out the light. However, like always, it didn't work. He tossed the blanket that was on him off and sat up in his bed and stared out the window. The sky was clear and it looked like it was going to be a good day.
Another dull day has arrived, he thought. He got out of bed and put on some blue jeans and a white t-shirt. He got his socks on and went downstairs. He was about sixteen years old with red hair and had deep blue eyes. He made it to the kitchen where he was greeted by a woman with long brown hair green eyes and was wearing a white summer dress.
"Morning," she said cheerfully.
"Hi Mom," Daiki said with little emotion.
"Don't start this already," his mother complained, "it's going to be a bright, beautiful day."
"If you say so," he said with little emotion. She sighed and went back to cooking breakfast. Then, a man walked in wearing a black suit with a red tie. He had red hair and had blue eyes.
"Gooooood morning my family," he said happily.
"Hello Ayumu," Daiki's mother said happily.
"Hi there Asuka," Ayumu said happily. He then looked over at his son and smiled. "Good morning my son."
"Hey Dad," Daiki said with little emotion.
"Hey now," Ayumu said there with a serious face, "none of that attitude. After all, today is a gorgeous day."
"Yup," Daiki said with a sigh, "it sure is."
"Okay," Ayumu said with a annoyed voice, "that's enough. You should have a positive attitude on a day like today."
"I'll have whatever kind of attitude I want," Daiki said as he picked up his school bag, "I got to catch the bus. Later." He then walked out of the room and the house.
"That boy," Ayumu said with a sigh, "he should have more energy than that."
"I think he's just sad," Asuka suggested, "after all, it was only yesterday that he found out that the karate classes he was taking have been canceled."
"True," Ayumu agreed, "he was almost to another color as well wasn't he. What color is it?"
"I don't remember," Asuka replied, "after all, he did start when he was only five."
"Yes," he agreed, "but he doesn't even need those skills. After all, he is going to be in the business world just like his old man."
"I know," she replied with a smile, "but it may haven't set in yet. Just give him time and he'll be back to his old self before you know it."
"You are right," he said with a smile, "now, how about that breakfast?"
WwwwwwW
Daiki got on the school bus and sat in the back. He usually liked to sit in the middle, but not today.
This way, he thought, no one will bother me. The bus continued on it's way just like every other day. It arrived at the school and all the kids got off the bus and rushed into the school. Daiki was the only one who took his time to get inside. He sat down in homeroom in his usual spot with three other students at the table he was at. The morning rolled by fast and lunch time had arrived. Daiki bought his lunch and sat at a table.
"Hey there," a friendly voice greeted him. Daiki looked over and saw Haru, his only friend in the world. He had brown hair and green eyes wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans.
"Hey Haru," Daiki said with some emotion. Haru sat down next to him.
"Still depressed about karate?" he asked.
"Of course," Daiki replied, "it was the only excitement in my life. Now it's gone for good."
"You could always find another class," Haru suggested.
"My parents won't allow it," Daiki stated, "after all, I don't need fighting skills to go into the business world."
"Your parents really shouldn't decide your life like that," Haru stated, "after all, you are almost a first degree black belt right?"
"Yeah," Daiki replied, "had my sensei not moved, I would be a first degree black belt. But of course, my parents never really paid attention to that kind of stuff. They never care about what I like unless it's related to the business world."
"Of course," Haru stated, "you like nothing from the business world."
"Of course not," Daiki replied, "it's so dull and boring. Of course, my parents won't help me if I don't go for that profession. I want a spark of excitement in my life and now that karate is gone, I don't think I'll ever get it back."
"Hey man," Haru said with smile, "remember that one saying, be careful what you wish for."
"This is one wish that I don't want to be careful with," Daiki said happily, "I wish that I can go and have an exciting life, and be far away from my control freak parents."
"Hey," Haru stated, "you never know, it might come true."
"I hope so," Daiki said with a depressing voice, "but seriously, wishes really don't ever come true." Then, a loud ringing noise rang through the building.
"Lunch time is over," Haru said as he stood up, "hey, want to come over and hang out tonight?"
"As much as I want to," Daiki said depressingly, "I can't. I promised my dad that I would study some business stuff with him tonight." Haru smiled.
"You and your promises," he stated, "but I understand. Try to have fun."
"Yeah," Daiki said sarcastically, "I'll get right on that." Haru and Daiki went their separate ways and continued the school day. It then ended and the kids went back home. When Daiki arrived back home, the table was covered in papers and folders and had two calculators on the table. Ayumu was sitting at the table looking at some papers and then looked up to see his son.
"There you are," he said happily, "how was school?"
"Good," Daiki replied, "so, what are we studying tonight?" He sat next to his father and looked at the papers.
"I'm glad you asked," Ayumu began his explanation. However, Daiki immediately lost concentration. His father might as well been Charlie Brown's teacher talking. At least then, he would be hearing something.
Am I destined to have a boring life? Daiki thought.
