Dissatisfaction

Earlier that day, in the morning.

The morning starts early for a student.

Normally, one would wake up by having their sleep interrupted by an alarm clock before preparing groggily.

Drak, however, doesn't follow the norm.

Without the sound of an alarm, Drak's eyes suddenly open, before he gets out of bed. Already clear-headed, Drak begins preparing for the day.

Yes, Drak has always woken up at the time he felt he needed to. Not only that, he always wakes up clear-headed. Drak is so confident in waking up on time that he hasn't owned an alarm clock since he was 10.

After cleaning up and getting dressed, Drak cooks a meal for himself. Although he has never tried to learn anything about cooking, the meal comes out comparable to what a professional chef would prepare.

A normal 16 year old would be ecstatic that they managed to prepare such a good meal. Drak, however, wasn't phased in the slightest.

Even if he hasn't tried learning, he's cooked for a long time. The very first time he tried cooking was of comparable quality as well, and he hasn't tried to improve because he didn't feel the need to. His current skill in cooking was more than enough for his capabilities, so spending more time on it would be a waste of time.

After retrieving his school supplies, Drak left his apartment and went to his car to go start his day of school.

Drak lives alone. Although he does have parents, they are adoptive parents, and he doesn't feel any attachment to them. Not because he doesn't feel welcome or because they "aren't his real parents" like others in his situation might say. They aren't bad people, and they don't abuse him, so it isn't that either.

He simply feels they are not worthy of being his parents.

...

After his uneventful drive to school, Drak proceeded to his class, but was interrupted on his way there.

"Drak! Wait for me!"

'Why, so I can listen to the thrilling story of you waking up late for the 38th time in a row?'

Despite his thoughts, Drak did stop for the girl calling to him, and even directed a gentle smile towards her.

"Did your alarm not work this morning as well, Sarah?" As he spoke, Drak wiped some jam off of her face with a handkerchief.

Sarah paused a moment to blush before replying.

"I think my mom is messing with me now! I asked her if she new why my alarm clock didn't go off, but she said she heard it while making breakfast! If it had gone off, why didn't I hear it, then?!"

'Because you sleep like a pig.'

As Drak and Sarah walked to class, many students turned to look at the couple who were pleasing to the eyes.

"Sarah looks great even with her hair messy like that."

"As expected, Drak looks as amazing as ever!"

"I'm gonna confess to Drak today!"

"Idiot, didn't you see what they did a second ago? Drak and Sarah are totally a couple!"

Drak heard bits of conversation due to his sharp hearing, and only barely managed to keep a sneer from creeping onto his face.

'Sarah? With me? As if. I would never get into a relationship with someone so flat chested or sloppy.'

If any of the guys in the surroundings heard this they would want to gut Drak like a fish. Although he doesn't have a good opinion of her, Sarah could be considered quite beautiful, and her small and thin figure is considered a point of charm for those into cute girls. Even her sloppy behavior and often messy hair give an energetic and fresh feeling to most.

"You should come over and wake me up sometimes!" Sarah said these words while furiously blushing, which stunned many of the guys in the surroundings. Unfortunately for Sarah, Drak isn't as easily won over as most guys.

"So that I can start being late myself? Even if I came over, would I really be able to wake you up?" He said with a wry smile.

Every male in the surroundings got angry at Drak after seeing the disheartened look on Sarah's face.

"That bastard!"

"Does he think Sarah isn't good enough for him?!"

"Is he gay or something?!"

"If he is, do you think I have a chance?"

"Yeah right. Even gay guys have standards."

"The fuck is that supposed to mean?!"

'Idiots, the lot of them.' As he expected, Drak didn't hear anything but stupidity.

As one might think, Drak is quite disliked by the other guys in school. Someone as good looking as Drak is bound to draw a lot of attention from girls, and a lot of envy from guys. Although he hasn't shown interest in any girls who've approached him so far, that's instead made the girls more interested in this "kind and pure" Drak, and thus more jealousy from the penis people.

Although Drak doesn't like all the attention that he could easily lose by getting a fake girlfriend, his pride is too high to accept even a fake girlfriend below certain standards. To Drak's dismay, however, women who could barely meet his fake girlfriend level standards aren't in his high school.

'I've had some free time lately. Maybe I should check other schools for someone good enough? Or maybe I should direct my sights towards college girls?'

Deep in thought and ignoring Sarah, Drak turned a corner when a ball came flying towards his face.

Not even seeming to notice, Drak caught the ball in a manner that seemed like his arm had a life of its own, before he threw it back in the direction it came from.

The boy who caught the ball was clearly unhappy with the result, displeasure and anger mixing on his face to form his current expression.

Although Drak didn't seem to notice he was there, Sarah shot an angry glare at him.

"Fenor! What do you think you're trying to do to Drak!?"

"I accidentally threw the ball the wrong way." Although he said that, one look at Fenor's face would show that he didn't mean what he said.

"..." Drak clearly wasn't paying attention to Fenor, which angered him even more.

'I'll beat that calm look off your face some day, Drak. Along with a few teeth...'

Although Drak hides his true capabilities, he still shows results in school that are obviously above average. Although most guys accept being less capable than him to some extent, there are still some who don't accept it and take out their inferiority on Drak. This includes Fenor.

Although he is fairly good looking himself, he's generally considered less attractive than Drak, and it's obvious to any outsider that his temper isn't as good as Drak's either.

Although he officially has better grades and does better athletically, Fenor has long noticed that Drak is hiding his actual abilities. He first noticed this when he picked a fight with Drak outside of school after overhearing a girl he was interested in at the time gushing over Drak. Fenor got him somewhere that other people wouldn't see the fight, then threw a punch after spouting some bullshit like, "Don't get so full of yourself," before Drak beat him black and blue.

After that embarrassment, Fenor realized that he wouldn't be able to beat him head on and decided to try and sneak attack him. While he was secretly watching him, Fenor noticed many different things about Drak and began to feel more and more inferior until, eventually, his dislike of Drak grew into full on hostility.

Fenor tried many ways to beat Drak, but not only did nothing work, he never even broke a sweat! In fact, Fenor never saw Drak break a sweat once! Not even on hot days, not even while exercising, nothing!

'Is this guy even human...?'

If Drak heard Fenor's opinion of him, he would probably think something like, 'Probably not. I'm way better than a regular human,' while saying words like, "Of course I am!"

Right now, however, Drak was still walking while totally ignoring Fenor. While some might think now would be a good chance to attack him since he was distracted, Fenor knew that it was pointless, and let Drak pass.

'I suppose I'll look up a nearby school's student listing to see if there's anyone good enough tonight. If I looked for a college girl then some girls might try to convince me to break up with her during their confessions while using her age as an excuse.' Drak really didn't even notice Fenor, and was even thinking about finding a fake girlfriend right now. If Fenor knew this, he would try to punch Drak, regardless of his chances or the consequences.

Having made up his mind, Drak turned to Sarah who was currently giving a nasty glare to Fenor and said, "Let's hurry up. Class is going to start soon!" before quickening his steps.

Sarah absentmindedly watched Drak speeding off before sending one last glare to Fenor and hurrying after Drak while shouting, "Wait for me!"

...

During class, Drak seemed dedicated to his schoolwork at first glance, paying close attention to his notes. However, anyone who looked more closely at his notebook would be shocked to realize that the pages were filled with equations and theories that were so advanced that even the scientists at the top of related subjects wouldn't understand without years of studying.

In the past, Drak would sneak more advanced textbooks into the classes with him, then he began using his phone to look up research papers and advanced theoretical studies online, before finally surpassing all currently existing scientists whose research he could access via hacking government files.

The only people who had any idea of what Drak was doing were Sarah and Fenor, since most people didn't pay much attention to the contents of his notebooks.

Drak stopped paying attention in class years ago, after deciding not to waste anymore time that could be better spent moving on to higher subjects. When other students and teachers noticed how ahead of everyone else he was, Drak started getting large amounts of attention, including from troublesome people, so he changed to a different school and decided to hide his abilities, putting himself on the high end of above average.

Drak knew he couldn't avoid attention completely, due to his incredible looks and even more incredible abilities, so he decided to just disguise his abilities within the norm so that he wouldn't get attention from unsavory groups and such again.

Although he still drew attention from Sarah and Fenor, he mostly achieved his goal, so he didn't really care to deal with them. That, and Sarah's presence would deter most girls, while Fenor would warn most guys that would try and cause trouble for him, as well as gather them together such that they end up wasting less of his time.

'Of course, once I get a fake girlfriend, Sarah should get discouraged and waste less of my time. Though I'll lose some of that free time to my fake girlfriend, I'll still have much more time overall to focus on more important matters.'

...

After school, Drak was planning on going to his secret laboratory.

'If the animal experiments go well then I'll be able to move on to human experiments on the age reversal treatments. The immune system modification experiments have been a success, so it's about time I start on the artificial organ experiments as well.'

"Drak!" Sarah shouted to him while he was thinking, but despite his irritation, Drak turned to her and gave her a small smile.

"What's up, Sarah?"

"I just wanted to remind you that I can't come over today cause I've got something important to do tonight."

"Alright. Try to go to sleep earlier tonight. Maybe you'll actually wake up on time tomorrow if you do."

Sarah gave a devilish grin before replying, "I'll try!" and running off to her car.

I want to hurry up and graduate from high school so that I can focus on my research more. All these student relationships are a pain.
