Lee gazed at the starry sky. The tint was barley purple and white sparkles filled his eyes. He felt free and away from all the robots and machines. His father, Jiro, was once a robot himself, before Professor Gill placed a command sercutt into his conscience sercutt, enabling him to become a human. Having all the emotions; Happiness, sadness, hatred, guilt, and so on and so fourth. His mother, Mitsko, was home-schooling Lee. Lee being only 16, he was active and wanted to meet other people. Have some friends to hang out with. Be normal for once in his life. But the only way he could ever feel that way, was by waiting 'till the sun was gone and royal purple flooded the sky and sparks of stars appeared slowly.
Lee was a young, fearless, boy. Shaggy black hair covering his violet eyes and his shy looking face. Being about 5'9 and wearing a leather jacket with baggy jeans, which were tucked into his clunky army boots.
He loved his mother and father, but he also needed space and openness. Expressing himself came naturally; being that one of his studies WAS robotics. He soon earned money and built a pair of solar wings.
Solar wings were a pair of robotic wings, with solar cloth sew onto it instead of feathers. They would attach to the back of his leather jacket and he would have the sweet advantage of flying. But, of course, he could only fly during his lunchtime or 30 minutes after studies were over.
He had his uncle to keep him from going utterly insane. Misado was a pleasant boy. Nice, caring, sensitive, but he could also be annoying. Though Misado was older, he still bugged Lee for anything he could get for free. He's not a bad guy, but he just adores Lee's talent for machinery and collects most of his inventions.
Lee brushed his hair out of his face and looked to his right, where his mansion was. Almost all the lights were on, except his. It was his weekend off so he spent most of his time either flying or sightseeing around the forest next to them.
The large front door opened and his father, or better known as Jiro, stepped onto the grass and began a long walk over to Lee. He sat up and picked a few leafs out of his hair, then he stood and shoved his hands in his pockets, knowing they must have found out about something wrong with something.
They always came to him whenever something bad happened. Even though it was sort of annoying at times, it was also useful. They would tell him everything, except maybe a surprise birthday party or something related to that.
"Lee, why are you out here so late?"
"Dad… I always am on weekends."
"Maybe so, but you need to start coming in earlier. You don't know-"
"I don't know what might be watching me and might even pounce on me to kill me. I know dad, you've given this speech everytime you find me out here."
"I'm guessing since you've memorized it I need to give a longer one, eh?"
"Or was it jump on me to murder me?" Jiro laughed and patted Lee's back. "Nice recovery." Lee grinned and walked along side his father, back to the mansion.
When he entered, Misado and Mitsko were sitting on the couch in the lounge room. They were, apparently, in deep conversation, before Jiro and Lee walked into the room. "Lee, darling, have a seat." Lee looked over at his mother, which was patting a spot next to herself. He walked over and sat there. "Lee, we need to talk…"
'Here we go again' Lee thought, smiling curiously. "Lee, we understand you've been flying, sightseeing, and spending a lot of time outside." Lee blushed. "Yeah, is it okay?"
"Oh, it's fine, but you need to understand that, there are hundreds of robots out to get revenge on us. If they ever got a hand on you…"
"What your mother means, Lee, is that I'm human now. I can't protect you anymore. You're uncles can't either. Since I- well,"
"I know dad. You don't have to explain." Mitsko shook her head. "Anyway, son," she began, "we've decided, with Misado's help, that were going to send you to school."
Lee shot up from his seat. "Serious?" Jiro nodded with a smile. Lee jumped high, punching the air, shouting, "yes!" Mitsko giggled a bit with a large grin. Misado laughed. Lee looked around at everyone. "Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lee ran to the doors and slammed them open and closed, running out onto their front yard.
He stopped in the middle and collapsed. "YEAH!" He shouted, entertainingly, listening to it echo across the field. "Man, I feel great! I'm going to-"
"PRIVATE SCHOOL?!" Lee shouted, iritatedly at his uniform. A dark green polo shirt with boot cut pants. The polo shirt had the school's mascot on it. A white tiger, ready to pounce. Mitsko nodded, laying 7 of the same shirts and pants on his bed. He looked from the clothes to his mother, opened mouthed. She laughed at him and brushed his hair out of his face, staring into his violet eyes with hers. "It will be fine, dear. You can still wear your boots."
"Oh, thank God!" He said, looking up at the roof. Mitsko kept laughing. "Mom, it's not funny! What about my leather jacket?"
"I dunno, is it torn? Worn? Gangterish?" Lee sighed in irritation. You couldn't blame him. "Mom…"
"Nope, no more 'mom'ing. Understand?" Lee sighed and flopped onto his bed. "Come on now, Lee. It won't be that bad." She punched him lightly in the arm. "I thought you were tough…"
"Mom, I hate to say this, but private school is my ultimate weakness." She smiled. "Honey, do it for me? Please? I would like you to get out of the house and into a real world. I don't want you to end up like me." Lee looked up at his mother. "If I get suspended, can I come back?"
"Only if you get suspended on accident." Lee sighed, wearily. His mother brushed his bangs off his forehead and kissed it. "You'll be happy you're going. I heard there's a lot of pretty girls there."
"Pretty snooty girls…"
"Excuse me? But I thought I taught you to not judge words of other people until,"
"Until I say them myself, I know ma."
"Good, now," she rose and walked to the door, opened it and stood in the doorway, "hang up your clothes and get ready to go to bed."
"What? It's only 9:30!"
"So, school starts at 7:30!" She closed the door and her footsteps slammed down the stairs. "Ugh! Mothers!"
I hope you've enjoyed it so far. Review me ideas and comments cause I sure do need 'em!
