IMPORTANT: This chapter is a flashback chapter! It shows you how he got there in the first place!
Chapter Two: Being
Swarming bodies, crawling chattering, glances without seeing; this is school. I'm not seen because I'm not really there. Who am I to them? A quiet kid, a random kid, a kid they don't know? And if they don't know me, if they don't bother to at least assume some sort of identity for me then do I really exist?
If I don't exist, then why bother with reality, or anything else.
The day was long as usual. When I returned home my sister was setting up plates at the dinner table, she saw me and said with a timid voice that I knew was not her normal tone, "Hey Gaara are you going to join us for dinner today?"
I just stared at her, unsure of what to say. If I replied yes then that meant I would have to either participate in conversation with the chances of making a mistake or my family would spend the whole time making me feel even more hesitant with their gawking. If I replied no, then I could just eat at a separate time like normal, in peace from anything unpleasant.
I wanted to eat now, since I was planning on it being my special and final time to indulge in the pleasures of normal people. But at this time I don't really feel hunger. I turned around to head for my room, opting to just not speak at all even though it bothered me that it was a rude way to go about doing things, but what could I do.
I couldn't help it I was nervous today was my final day amongst the masses.
REVIEW DARN YOU! And i know these seem really short, but they will get longer with the addition of more characters slowly and as he becomes more aware of his surroundings.
