Emil was standing outside a large building. There were people everywhere. He never ever thought he'd see this day. Here he was. His first day of Highschool. He was still only 16 but since he was home-schooled most of his life he was able to be moved up a year and into senior classes with Mathias and Lukas. Who were in fact right next to him. Lukas was explaining the school to them while Mathias held Emil's hand.

It had been a month since the transplant and Emil had felt like a new person. His skin wan't as pale, He wasn't always tired, And he felt alive.
Everything went successfully. Mathias was doing better too.

He still couldn't walk but the implants were working. Emil still remembered the day when Mathias could hear him for the first time. Mathias hugged Emil so tightly. Mathias was sobbing. Emil didn't know what to say. Ever since then they talked normally.

Lukas was accepted into his top pick for college the next year and Emil had just applied for his first. He was still waiting for results.

The first bell rang. Emil filed through the hall way with the other students. He and Mathias shared 1st period science. Lukas had history.
In science Emil met 2 boys named Tino and Berwald. Berwald was kind of intimidating but he soon learned the Swedish boy was just horribly shy and kind of awkward. He and Tino offered to even show Emil and Mathias around the school during lunch.

In 3rd period Emil met a nice Cantonese exchange student named Xiao. Xiao and Emil had similar interests when it came to drawing and fandoms.

At the end of the day Tino asked if Emil, Lukas and Mathias would like to hand out with him and Berwald. All three of them gladly accepted.

Emil had a feeling he was going to enjoy this year. He already had friends on the first day. That was much more than he expected.

But what he enjoyed most of all was that he had Mathias right there next to him through it all.


This is the end for real this time.

I can't be bothered to write a long epilogue but you get what happens

I hope you enjoyed this!
