Friend or foe?

by Frisklove14

The story is about an almost 18yo Borrower in Inkopolis Square when he meets an octoling who wants to be his friend too. He must have courage to be his friend if he is to make his adventure dreams come true for the sake of his parents death.(If you want to know, the borrower knows what the inklings and octolings are saying.)

1. Chapter 1: Adams story

Prologue: Adams story

My name is Adam, M, 18 and I live in a wealthy building of Inkopolis Square near their battle lobby for them to earn money either for food, clothes or weapons. I hide within the walls of the building and even though I have my fair shares of close encounters with inklings, they never seem to see me even from plain sight since I have a lot of dust on me for most of the time, its not common for me to take baths now and then since I use the water for drinking. I never have a problem with food sometimes but unless I can't find any food with the current inkling I stay with then I have to go out somewhere else to find food, I'm very fast when it comes to borrowing food from inklings. I've been learning about inklings and octolings, but in peculiar I would study the inkling I stayed with for most of my time. I'm use to learning/talking inkling language until I get better at octoling language since I was not well experienced with octolings yet. My house was set up really nice in my opinion since my parents aren't with me anymore after their last borrowing when I was 13. I've been careful of inklings ever since and now I have a new species to be careful for a while till I know what they fully do, like inklings.

I usually stay in my home unless I need something from the inkling I stay with or outside of the building. I've noticed that a new species came around 3 months ago and I've been learning about them whenever I get the chance to do so with most of my equipment in my home. Learning a new language isn't hard but trying to do so in 3 months is a fair time to learn about another species. I don't like talking to anyone ever since I turned 16, even if I see my own kind. I plan to move somewhere else to have a sense of adventure of my own for a change then being here in a building that might find me one day without being careful enough.

After the inkling that was staying in the room left to go live some where else, I was kind of scared that I might have to move a little early then I was planning, until I gathered enough supplies I would have left during that time but after not finding the correct supplies for a week, I thought I might have to leave with what I had on my now low food supply. As I was lying down on my bed trying to figure out what I have to do now with the wrong equipment and low food supply at my house, I thought I just heard the faint sound of a door opening with an octoling that sounded happy about his new place. I guess I have to take my ideas on hold for a little bit for now until I study the octolings schedule, food menu, and relationships with friends and family.
