Chapter 14: Messed up world
The dandelion field was beautiful. The sun was setting at the end of the world while Arthur ran through the field of flowers and wheat. Someone was right beside him, along with a big blond dog. Maybe a Golden Retriever? He didn't know. Also the face of the boy was unknown. There were no sounds around them. Not at all. But they smiled and laughed until the boy stopped running and—
'ARTHUR!'
Arthur's eyes snapped open and looked around. The classroom, with every student sitting on his or her table, and Mr. Joosten, the most strict teacher in the whole school (rated by Arthur himself), sat right in front of him.
He fell asleep in class? What's wrong with him?
'…When class ends, we have to talk mr. Kirkland.'
Oh help, he was going to get it. But he deserved it. He fell asleep during class. Unacceptable.
Arthur didn't used to be like this. He used to obey every order of his parents. Everything changed 2 years ago though. Lars showed him that the world isn't as kind as he thought it would be. And Lars showed him what it could do to persons. Lars was the ultimate proof in fact.
Eat your lunch in the breaks.
He would throw away his food.
Never lend out money or buy something.
He would often buy candy and lend money to his friends.
Never leave any books in school.
He would leave some books in his locker.
He was sick and tired of the every rule of his parents. He had enough of the world looking down on him. He wanted to be free. Only that. Nothing more actually.
The bell ringed and Arthur went to the teacher as he was told to do.
'I don't know what's happening, but you look extremely tired… Problems at home?'
'…Sort of…'
'Couldn't sleep because of them?'
'… I talked with Alfred till 5 AM. Yeah…'
'… Go to your break. But stay awake next time huh?'
'Y-Yes!' And like that Arthur hurried out of the room to the second floor. Maybe he would see Alfred later that day again?
-Sighs- Okay, this is getting an awkward story. I'm going to take this nice and slow…
