A Typical Morning.

"Wake up Lin, you're getting late for school. If you don't hurry you'll have to walk to school since your dad can't be late for his meeting too."

It's still so early in the morning, I don't know what mom keeps going on about.

"Give me ten minutes." I shouted.

"You don't have time honey, it's already past 8. Wash up and get ready in 5." My mom replied.

Oh, my clock's battery is dead.

I realised that I really am late today .

It is not that I'm always late but last night there was this new show playing and I couldn't miss it. Mom was quite mad at me for that but hey I'm already 13, I'm old enough to stay up late aren't I?

"Mom did you pack my lunch?." I asked as I get ready for school.

"Yes, I already put it in your backpack. Now hurry up, dad is waiting for you in the car."

I hurriedly grabbed my bag and got into the car.

"This won't do Lin, you have your responsibilities and so do I. Mine is to get to the office on time and do my work properly while yours is to go to school and learn. As a man you cannot make these minor compromises. Do you understand?" Said my dad.

Unlike my Mother who is always cheerful and full of energy and likes to spoil me, my dad was kind of strict and never lost his composure infront of me.

"I understand dad, I won't do it again." I replied

You see, I attend this school that I'm not very fond of. It's like a gathering of the high class; I managed to get in not because I'm one of them but because of my dad who spent the family fortune on me just so I can have a bright future.

I honestly think that it's wasted on me. I can't socialize that well with the others to start and adding the element of status to it only just worsens it.

I arrive at school and greet my classmates, the teachers on the hallway and hastily make my way into the class.

"You're late today Luke, how unusual." said Hanna.

"Forget it Hanna, he doesn't like to speak. A good morning is all you get." said Rya.

Ah, it's the same as always. It's like I leave them on read since I'm unable to come up with a reply that may not come out wierd.

"I'm sorry". I replied.

They stared at me like I was a helpless dog on the streets.

That's all I could say? I have bigger problems at hand here.

My socializing skills aren't even upto par with the average person.

I seriously need help.

God, I want to leave this place. Let me go somewhere normal otherwise I might become the opposite of what my dad wanted of me.

The classes ended at 3 in the afternoon like normal.

I wasn't expecting anything as I made my way home like usual; stopping by the shopping district, window shopping on the regular.

I reached home and took a shower after which I went and played some games on my pc.

"Lin, I'm home, I got some sweets from our neighbour so you can come down if you want some." said my mother.

"Alright mom, I'll be down in a second." I replied.

The sweets that mother brought were quite good, I'm thankful for such great neighbours, hehe.

Dad reached home late because he had some discussions with his boss and while we were eating dinner, he revealed a big surprise; well for me at least.
