4. Video Games
Life ain't no videogame
'Cuz there isn't a reset button
Life hurts more than fantasy
And there's no way to turn it off
-o-
No such thing as constant battles
Monsters don't come out of nowhere
You ain't the hero of the story
You're just a boy on your own
-o-
Explosions aren't daily
Wounds always hurt
Fighting ain't great
Why even make it real?
-o-
Life ain't no videogame
So stop trying to act like it is
'Cuz while life isn't a videogame
It's the biggest game in your life
And you ain't getting a second chance
"...Mr. Kuso, I asked for you to find a poem that talk about one's conflicts. Where did this come from?"
"Err...nowhere..." said brunette replied softly while blushing from embarrassment. "I...made it myself. Mom banned me from the computer, so..." he heard his classmates chuckling as he mentioned his predicament, and the teacher couldn't do anything but sigh. "You could've just used the library if you couldn't print one at home."
"But what if I don't want to go to the library? And I spent all night racking my brain to make this!"
The teacher sighed again as she walked towards the boy. "Give me your paper."
"You're not going to fail me, are you?" surprisingly for him, she shook his head. "I can give you some points for trying to make a poem all by yourself. Especially from you of all people." the woman then took the paper off of his hands; her smile disappearing as soon as it came. "You may go back to your seat."
"O-okay." As he headed back, most of the people he passed by were either hiding their laughter or showing him a thumbs up. Once he got back to his desk, he laid his head down and didn't bother listening to the other people that were called.
Sucks to be called first.
A/N: Just wanted to make a chapter in Dan's perspective this time. I only realized now that the past three chapters were Shun-centric. o_O I can't ignore our younger Pyrus brawler, now can I?
Zio: If you have read the previous story, you would've noticed that there were no Bakugan there either. This story is entirely focused on the time before New Vestroia, so basically they're stuck in the thinking of "The Bakugan are back in their own dimensions and everything goes back to normal and blah blah blah." In a nutshell: Post 1st season. :U
