Chapter 1: I hate School
The boy was woken up by the loud ringing sound which came from his phone. He grabbed his phone and gave it a look of pure resentment because he didn't like waking up so early in the morning even though knowing that he had to go to school.
He hopped out of the bed and looked at the mirror in the room.
He has scarlet red hair, beautiful ocean blue eyes and a pale white skin. His height is somewhere near 6'1 feet tall.
"I hate school!" the boy exclaimed as he hated school because he always had to wake up so early every single day.
He walked out of his door and went to bathroom and took a shower. After that he went to his room to change into his school uniform. He wore a white shirt, black trousers, black blazer with the school emblem on it left pocket. The school emblem was an eagle which white and brown color scheme.
"Keith come and eat your breakfast," His mom said whilst knocking on his bedroom door.
"I am coming," He replied as he got out of his room and went to the kitchen. He saw a plate full of pancakes waiting for him on the kitchen table. The bored expression on his face suddenly disappeared and was replaced with an expression of pure joy.
"Thanks mom," he thanked his mother, his voice filled with gratitude. He sat down on the chair and ate all of the pancakes like his life depended on it.
"You couldn't even leave some for me," His mother said as she crossed her arms and started pouting.
"Sorry mom, I just couldn't help myself since your pancakes were so delicious," he apologized and tried to flatter her. He tried to flatter her because he knew that she also had a giant sweet tooth just like him.
"I forgive you," she said.
He looked at his watch on his right wrist and saw that he was already five minutes late. He acted like he cared about going to school on time but in reality he didn't even give a single shit about being early or late at school since the lessons at school were so boring that he would end up sleeping in the middle of a lesson.
"I gotta go!" he said as he stood up from the chair and got out of their apartment that he, his little brother and mother lived in. His little brother was already at school because he wakes up earlier than Keith and goes to school earlier even though he's younger than Keith.
He walked to the apartment room next to his and banged the door but there was no response. Growing a little frustrated, he kicked the door open and shouted, "Merlin, wake the fuck up!!"
A boy with long white hair, red eyes, 5'9 feet tall and has a pale white skin walked out of his bedroom whilst yawning indicating that he had slept late. He was also wearing the same uniform Keith was wearing.
"Let me guess, you just woke up and you slept wearing your uniform yesterday didn't you," Keith said sarcastically.
"Bingo!" Merlin agreed as what Keith just said was a hundred percent true. Keith knew Merlin like the back of his hand since they were friends since childhood, so he knew every single thing about except for who his parents were since he never disclosed that information.
"Time to go to school my friend," Keith said. "Ok, I am coming just let me eat my breakfast," Merlin said as he went to kitchen and microwaved the cupped noodles in his refrigerator.
He slurped down all of the noddles in less than a second and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He then got outside of the apartment room and locked it. Keith waited for him patiently whilst leaning on the wall.
"Let's go," Keith said as he gestured Merlin to follow him. They both went to the elevator and got inside. They pressed the button which would send them to the first floor.
They walked out of the building and started running towards the nearest train station. The reason why they were running is because there were later than usual. They would be at least thirty minutes late on most days but today they were about thirty nine minutes late.
They finally reached the train station after running for a very long time. Keith and Merlin got on the train and sat down on one benches, they were both tired from all the running since they went really the athletic type.
"We need to... build up more stamina," Keith said as he was gasping for air.
"You've got that right," Merlin agreed with Keith even though knowing that weren't actually going to that at all since they were both lazy and mostly spent all of their time reading novels and watching movies and animes.
They started running out of the train when the reach their final destination. They ran like they've ran before, their movement were swift making them look like nothing but a blur. They kept on running faster and faster until they reached their school.
"I got a feeling that our teacher is going to kill us for being later than usual," Merlin said, his body quivering in fear.
"Don't worry my friend, just leave the talking to me," Keith reassured Merlin as he put his hand over his shoulder.
"Is it kinda alarming that I am actually trusting you," Merlin said.
"It's not since I am the best blackmailer that you have ever met," Keith said, his voice gleaming with confidence and pride.
Keith and Merlin went inside the school and went straight to class 3C.
"You're later than usual," the teacher said, anger evident in her sweet melodious voice.
"Good morning Sensei," Keith said as he went and and whispered something in her ear, "Remember I saw you kissing the principal. Do you know what would happen if I told his wife. His wife is the daughter of a mafia boss."
A shiver ran down her spine. She knew she couldn't do anything to these two because Keith knew his secret.
"Just go to your sits," she said with an infuriated tone.
Merlin and Keith went to sit on their tables which were located at the back row. Keith sat next to the window and Merlin sat right next to Keith.
