Ian
** why do i feel like my cheeks is hot...**
Ian suddenly woke up from his peaceful deep sleep with the sun radiating on his face. He groaned in annoyance because of the sudden heat that burned against his skin, which was responsible for disturbing his sleep.
Ian
arghhh...(softly groans)
Ian
i want to sleep more....
Ian
(about to sleep again)
BRRRTT!! BRRRTT!! BRRRTT!!
Ian
arghh..(groans as he stops his alarm)
Ian
i hate this...(mumbles)
After whining, he then immediately got up from his desk and closed the curtains as he just realized that he had to go to class early so that he could give the dozens of assignments that he agreed to do.
Ian
(sighs) i shouldn't have agreed to this...(mumbles)
Ian
but then, i did, what a great life i have...
He eventually afterwards took all of the paperworks into his bag before he went and fetched his towel and toothbrush, before entering his apartment's small bathroom to do his usual morning routine.
He was currently living in a small, cheap apartment called Gustav's Inn for a while because it was the only place he could afford. He had no money to get a bigger and better apartment, but he was a hardworking man, so probably after he earned enough money, he could afford one. What would you expect when you're just working at a coffee shop, right?
After some time, he eventually finished his bathroom routine, and so he then proceeded to wear some decent clothes he could find before walking toward his small yet neat apartment kitchen to cook some of his usual breakfast meals.
Ian
egg rice would be good today...(smiles)
And so, just as he said, he soon afterwards took some eggs, rice, and other ingredients for the dish before cooking his morning meal. Cooking was his hobby—it made him smile and happy. He enjoyed cooking just like how his grandmother loved it.
Ian
it smells good, now I'm really hungry...(smiles)
He then afterwards took a bowl where he plated his egg rice before digging into his undeniably delicious breakfast.
After eating, he soon washed his bowl and utensils before getting his glasses from his desk—but not before he took out his contacts. He wiped the lenses of his glasses first before carefully putting them on.
In fact, the glasses were his grandmother's gift to him back when he turned fifteen on his birthday. That’s why he always keeps his glasses carefully, in fear of breaking them, since it's the only thing now that reminds him of his late grandmother. Besides, he couldn’t afford a new one—he didn’t have that much money, after all.
Ian
oh crap, I'm going to be late if i won't go now!
He then dashed to get his bag and keys before running outside of his apartment. He first locked the door before going downstairs toward the building's exit.
It was so early in the morning that there were only a few vehicles he could see, and it made him feel a little bit of sympathy for himself for waking up this early—even though he could’ve been laying in bed right now.
Ian
** this is what you deserve Ian, you made your parents disappointed so you deserve this...**
Ian
i deserve this...(mumbles)
He breathed heavily before proceeding to walk toward his school—not to mention the almost one and a half hours of walking just to get there. He had no money to pay for the bus or an Uber because he didn’t want to spend that much.
He thought that if he could still walk, he should take the opportunity to save more money since his daily expenses were already too much for him to handle. On the bright side, he could lose some weight, you know.
To pass the time, he listened to music as he walked past buildings, houses, forests, and even some abandoned, creepy structures—just so he could attend his classes. He was a good student, that’s for sure, actually a straight-A student, which was another reason why he was often picked on. They called him a “nerd”—a word used for brainy, boring students. But Ian ignored it all. It’s not like paying attention to their insults would make the situation any better, so he just let it be.
And after an hour of walking, Ian had finally arrived at his school, Northern High School.
Ian
huff huff....Finally...
Ian
** anyway, Northern Highschool, here i come..** (walks towards the entrance with a small smile)

I’ve been in this situation. Once someone betrays you, it’s hard to trust again.
