Life is beautiful; we live until we die.

Some would think that Near, being the most intelligent child at Wammy's (and even to some of the younger, the smartest in the world), had never gotten a bad mark on an English assignment before.

Some would think that it was utterly impossible for such a thing to happen. Especially because most of the kids at Wammy's House, orphanage for gifted children, admired and looked up to the quiet boy.

Near, along with a few others, knew this to be absolutely wrong.

He always liked to make a point of not rubbing in the fact that he was the smartest kid around, so the fact that he made mistakes, to him, only proved that it was possible. That even Near could make his own mistakes and such.

Many might think that getting a B+ on an English assessment task isn't too much of a bad job when comparing it to a straight out F when you only really ended up writing eight lines.

This, to Near was an achievement.

At the time, he had no idea what the heck was wrong with him. What would possibly possess him to write such a thing. He wasn't one of those people that believed that life was beautiful and wondrous and exciting. Life bored him, and he simply did not care. He was here because he had to be.

But, and to be truthful, he hadn't even remembered writing it, when he got back his results; he could only stare at the mostly blank piece of paper.

He'd felt strange, seeing those eight words at the top of the page, as well as the lines 'What is life? Explain your answer (your opinion)'.

He hadn't really remembered that lesson, when that task had been handed out, but his answer was strange and peculiar and nothing like him. He had not received an A or A+ like usual, but that never really surprised him.

The words were what preoccupied most of his attention. They burned brightly behind his eyelids, making tears come to his eyes. The feeling he was experiencing was nothing he had ever felt before, but was, in no way, unpleasant.

His eyes darted wearily from each word. His heart beat quicken and a sort of smile graced his lips. He wondered if, on that particular day, instead of writing what the teacher wanted to read like he always did, he actually wrote what he felt.

How did he see life? The eight words on that partly blank page burned into his skull, and he knew he would never forget it.

What is life? Explain your answer (your opinion).

Life is beautiful; we life until we die.

End Note: I know its short, but that was my intention. So they will all kind of by like that unless I'm in the mood to write more. I'll try to update every week, if I can. I'm a senior now, so I have all this crap to do.
