Chapter 3: Leaving earth

I sit right next to my father and be both look at each other. I can guess what he thinks from his expression even do I'm terrible at reading them, which remarks how conflicted he must be feeling.

We stare at each other for 2 minutes until I decide to start the conversation.

- Dad, i can understand how you feel. I know you are conflicted because you won't see me what I'll be in a good school, so I'll say to you right now that you don't have to worry, even if I'm a bit lacking at social skills I'll be okay. More important I'll have the chance to learn from the best teachers, so is no big deal. The only thing that surprises me is that you have to stay. After a pause,

-what do you do in your job father?.

My father remained silent for a long time and said -you don't need to know, you just need to know that I'll be okay too.

I knew that he wouldn't tell me because I've asked it before a few times, but each time he won't say anything so I stopped asking, I thought that today may be different, but I was wrong.

After that I started packing all my books and my phone and headphones, while my father made dinner. We sit in the table and start eating, he made salad and a steak. My favorite food.

I felt powerless and knew that I didn't have any power to change the fate of my father or my own, and this only served to reaffirm my decision in becoming the ruler of vr.

After dinner be both went to sleep, I didn't sleep well what I managed to sleep a few hours.

When I wake up at morning I look at the clock and see that is 8 in the morning, only 2 hours remaining until i had to go. The 2 hours past fast and me and my father arrived at the station, only a few kids and fathers there, waiting and sharing the last time they'll be together in a long time.

The guards arrive and dismiss the parents leaving the kids behind. The guard leads them to a big hangar in which 3 spaceships are placed. Each one goes to a different big planet, one to Jupiter, one to Saturn and one to Uranus. They distribute the kids in the ship and Ejderha is the last one, he is going to Jupiter.

When he gets to the spaceship, the door closes and the countdown begins.

10 seconds, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... The spaceships soar to the sky as fast as me reading a good novel and they get out of the atmosphere of the earth and each one of the ships heads toward the planets they have to.
