A Whole Different Life (Book I)

Chapter 3: A Forgotten Past and A New Future (Part 2) (Edited)

"Eos!" I heard someone call my name, the sound of wet running footsteps making me grumble from the interruption of my sleep and the painful feeling of my body aching.

"Eos! Please be alright!" The voice said as I soon felt two hands grip my shoulders and begin to shake me gently.

"W-What is it...?" I grumbled, the feeling of being shaken annoying me to no end as I begrudgingly opened my eyes to look at a brown-skinned girl.

Christ...she was tall! The girl had to at least be 6'3! She had extremely long raven black hair, the length almost reaching her calves but nonetheless tidy as it was done into a braid while some loose strands covered her eyes. A curvy but fit figure and flawless skin. She was beautiful but...who exactly is she?

"T-Thank goodness...you should really learn to stop running out on the football field." The girl said with a relieved sigh as she helped me up, her surprising strength not matching her somewhat curvy figure.

"Football field?" I said with an awkward chuckle.

"There aren't any football fields in this world..."

The girl went silent, though she didn't say anything. I could tell that she was confused.

"Balerion? Fantasy? Ringing any bells?"

She continued to keep silent but eventually let out a sigh and then smiled lightly.

"You are such a jokester my friend, but come on, it's time to go to lunch." She said, taking ahold of my hand before she led me inside the school.

After me and the girl had finished changing out of our clothes, the constant darting glances she gave me making me raise a brow and question her reasons for helping me, she had finally led me to the cafeteria.

'What's going on with these guys?' I thought with a narrowed look, the entire room freezing in time as everyone gave us a hateful glare while they mumbled the words 'Normal and Loner'.

"Look at them...a couple of trash-bag Normals."

"Should pay em' a little visit, been a while since I've used a Bebe gun on some rats."

Their words...they were hateful, frightening and some even murderous! The comments they made about me and the girl made my blood freeze and my heart stop momentarily but, for some odd reason, I found it strangely familiar and kept on walking.

"They sure do hate us eh?" I chuckled lightly as I sat down across from the girl.

"Yes." She said quietly.

"B-But it's nothing new, Populars rule the school while the Normals and Loners are forced to suffer their extreme bullying." She said, taking out a sandwich from her backpack.

The heck? This entire place sounds like a tyrannical kingdom rather than a school. Still, this was all so strangely familiar...but, I don't know why.

"What about the staff? Don't they do anything?"

"They rarely help...they're only good for stopping fights, teaching us and serving our food." The girl sighed.

"B-But, I believe it will stop someday, we are getting a new principal soon after all." She said, my eyes narrowing in disgust at the school's system.

Suddenly, just before the girl was about to put the sandwich in her mouth, a series of mocking pig noises had begun to erupt from a group of nearby girls, their mocks causing the girl to start to sniffle and put the sandwich down.
