Lumis

My mom and brother always said my name had a meaning but they wouldn't tell me. I would beg and beg but they would say that one day I would find out and that it would save me. I would look at them as if they were crazy and then just go play. I searched it up but nothing important would show up. I never found out what my name meant because of the incidents. A sudden darkness swarms me and keeps me trapped.

I sit up in bed as I wake up from my dream."Ugh why did I have to have that dream today," I say.

 On my way to school that incident is all I can think about. I remember my mother's cold body and I start to feel sick. The last thing she did was reach for my face and say " Such beautiful eyes, just like your father." My mother got diagnosed with cancer, three out of the four times she beat it,but that last time it had got her. She was always looking after me and my brother since my father left, he went overseas for his dream job when I was five and all I remember is feeling lost. My brother never liked him, mama was his everything so when she died my brother couldn't take it and followed her after, he was only fifteen! 

I look at the date. "It's been a while now hasn't it Felix" I say as I feel a cold drop fall down my cheek.

 I wipe the tears from my face and say "Mum and bro wanted you to be happy and make others happy I cant be crying like this come on me" and then continue to school.

I was near the corner near the gas stop when i hear a beautiful sound. I look to where it was coming from and i see a small studio where some people play the piano. I couldn't look away as people passed i just stopped and watched these people. They had this look like they were the happiest people just enjoying their time playing the piano. I feel this all in the sound of his song so I walked up to listen better.

I see a few kids that go to my school run by so i look at the time and notice that i'll be late if i don't run too.

 As I dash i can hear the bell ring and i start to freak out. "Aw man i have Ms.Kide today for first period she will be mad." I say as I bit my lip.

 Ms.Kide was a mean woman because all the guys she tries to date break up with her almost immediately. She takes it out on us kids and gives us a lot of assignments  and lots of pop quizzes on stuff we never covered. I run into class and find her yelling at a boy. I sneak into my seat and hope that she wont notice that im late. 

"LUMIS don't think that id just let you of that easy, If you want to be late to my class you can obviously stay after school and clean it TODAY." I hear her screech across the room. 

I sigh and respond "yes ma'am".

I go through my day and just dread having to clean Ms.Kide's room after school. I finish last period and head to her room. On the way I see some people in a club all having fun. They all joined because they like the same things that is what a club is supposed to do. I think that it would be nice to talk about something I like with others. 

I stop and say "What if I made one". 

I hit my head and think "what would i even make one about" and then the people's music from this morning plays in my head. 

"A music club i could make a music club" I shout with triumph. 

Then i hear Ms.Kide's screechy voice from down the hall "Are you just going to talk to yourself or clean my room".

After I finished cleaning the room I head home and all I can think about is making a club. I think about going to ask Mr.Gon to be my sponsor tomorrow and just can't wait. Mr.Gon is the english teacher and he's very nice to me. I set an alarm for tomorrow and go to sleep.

I wake up to my annoying alarm and get ready for school. As i walk to school I see that the people aren't there today. I sigh and continue to school. I get there and see that i have 5 minutes till class start so i go to Mr.Gon's class.

 I walk in and ask him "Mr.Gon could you please be my sponsor for a music club". 

He looks at me sadly and says "I will be busy with a daughter soon so i can't , but I can put in a word to all the teachers. Sorry". 

"Its ok congratulations" I say sadly and walk to my class which happens to be right next door.

I finish math my first period and slowly drag myself to my next classes. What am I supposed to do now who will be my sponsor. After lunch I have Ms.Kide and she calls me out to her desk. She then says something that surprises me so much I pinch myself to see if im dreaming. She tells me she heard I was searching for a sponsor and that she loves music and would like to be the sponsor. At first I was reluctant but then I decided if I really wanted this club I had to take what I could get.

The next day she started to print out flyers and I posted them everywhere. During the day I saw some people look at them and was happy. I had decided to have it on fridays. I look at the date and see that it's Monday and I get excited for the week to go by so i can have my club.
