The Average Life
Tokyo, Japan
Kain's Room
Kain got up out of his bed and waddled into the bathroom. He brushed his white hair out of his face and brushed his teeth. He took his contacts out of there container and put them over his light grey eyes. Kain blinked a few times until the contacts came into place and he went back into his room to look for his school uniform. He found it in his top dresser drawer and put it on. He grabbed his school bag that was beside the door of his room and walked down the hallway and downstairs. He passed his roommate, Joshua, who was making a cup of coffee. They were both 14 and living alone. There wasn't much trouble, but sometimes Joshua was gone all night working. Kain had a job to, he worked on weekends, while Josh took night shifts.
Kain grabbed two portable cups and filled them with the coffee that Josh made.
"You comin' to school today?" Kain asked Josh while he pulled creamer out of the fridge.
"Yah, I didn't have to work last night. I'll be fine." Josh said as he was screwing on the cap of his cup.
Kain nodded as he put the last of his creamer in his cup and screwed on the lid. Josh turned off the coffee maker and they walked towards the door of there apartment. It was a nice size one to, two bedroom, one bath, a living room, and a kitchen. With both of them working, it was easy to pay rent on it.
Josh walked out the door and Kain turned of the light switch and walked out the door, locking it behind him. He walked down a small flight of stairs and soon outside of the apartment building. The two boys walked down a long road, the school they both went to was about a mile away, a few feet, give or take. As they walked down the road they saw a figure coming towards them.
"Hey guys!" Sayaka said.
"Hey Sayaka." Kain replied to her.
"Are you guys excited for the release of SAO this weekend?" She asked as they began to walk together.
Kain smiled broadly, "Yah, I can't wait, what floor did you make it to in the beta test?"
"I made it to floor 3!" Josh bragged at them.
"I made it to floor 2, what about you Kain?" Sayaka asked
"Well..." He thought to himself. "Floor 5" He said a moment after.
Kain didn't like bragging, so he just decided to lie and not tell them how far he actually got. He didn't want Sayaka to think he was a hardcore gamer, he did like her after all.
"Really?!" Sayaka gasped.
"Kain, that's awesome!" Josh patted him on the back.
Kain just smiled as they kept walking towards the school, all in there uniforms. Kain looked at the ground as he walked and silently thought to himself. Just one more week, then I can make it to the top.
