The Little Prince's Journal
Ep. 4
Tomorrow, he came. My teacher came out of a screen and visited me in the prison I lived in.
The beige walls were clashing with the dark grey furniture and the bed covers. Actually, I brought mine since I would never ever leave the place. Mom moved my room decoration the best she could in the space. Me, Alexander, couldn't even resist to demand that all my things would be moved in the room.
So he came. He knocked on the door and I said:
Teacher
Hi boy! How are you?
Alexander
Oh I'm fine, thanks for asking. How about you?
Teacher
I'm doing great thanks.
Teacher
So... I don't know how to tell you this, but I've decided that I would stop teaching you what all kids would usually learn. I know you and I also know you don't want to learn these ''boring'' things.
Alexander
Actually, I already know. My friend the fox told me.
Alexander
He heard you speak with Mom and you said you'd bring a journal.
He frozed. I think I scared him. I mean, I know I'm schyzophrenic and that my ''illusions'' shouldn't know people's conversations and thing that will happen but hey, I'm different.
Teacher
Actually, you're right. And It's kind of freaking me out.
Teacher
But instead of being foolish, I'll give you this and a pencil. You may remain calm and just write down what you feel like writing down. Ok?
Teacher
Nice! I'll be on my way. I have to go join your classmates. I'll see you tomorrow?
He left with a big large smile on his face. Why though? How can be working even fun? He teaches boring lessons to use and still manage to like what he does. I will never understand adults.
The fox
Hey! You got your journal?
Alexander
Yeah and I don't want to be mean but I'll need you to come back in my head. I have to concetrate on my work.
The fox
Ok. But first, how are you doing?
Alexander
My whole body hurts and my head too, but the medicines helps.
The fox
I'm sorry for you.
Alexander
Don't be. Anyways, if YOU are sorry for me, it means I'm sorry for myself wich doesn't make any sense. Now... Please? go bacn inside my head. I'm serious, I need to focus.
He nodded and came back in my mind.
I stayed a whole other month at the hospital. And then...
