CH 1 My Life and Wish

My name is Adam Sickle.

I'm your typical average guy trying to make my way through the game we call life.

My main hobbies are running, gaming, reading novels/fan-fics, reading manga, and watching anime. I'm not an hermit or an anti-social person, it's just I haven't found a friend that I just click with yet. Moving on..

I have above average looks with dirty-blond hair with deep green colored eyes. And although I don't exercise often, you can usually find me at the gym, running on the track in the mornings to clear my head. The running has kept me in pretty good shape.

I live in the United States, in New York City. I originally lived in California but I moved with the money they left me and from selling our property to get a new start.

My parents died in a plane crash two months ago. After I settled all the paper work and had the funeral, that's when I left for New York.

I left because there was nothing and no one left for me there. And hey, they say New York is where new beginnings happen and just what I'm looking for.

When I got there, I was able to rent an apartment for a decent price but I would eventually have to get a job. The money I have will only last me for about a year.

For about 3 months I just stayed at home watching anime and reading novels.

Other than going to the gym to run, the only time I get out is when I have to go to the store to restock on food.

By the 4th month, I noticed my money is getting lower and lower and I would need to find a job soon.

Which is going to suck.

And it does suck because after two months of trying to find a job, I was able to get one at the convenience store a few block away from my house. The hours are not good while the pay is just above minimum wage. Although it's not a lot of money but hey, money's money and this was the only place that was close to my apartment and hiring so ya...

I've been working for four months now and although I'm working and getting paid, the money in my bank account is still slowly going down.

I can't really move because I'm already living in one of the cheaper apartment around this area.

Over the past month I've been working my butt off at the store and I've been getting more and more stressed out. Mainly from a few people that came into the store to get a drink.We were out of the drink that they wanted and they started yelling at me for it. Like what I'm supposed to do. It the manager job to order the drinks.

So eventually I just snapped and started cursing at the customer. And guess who happen to be standing behind me when this happen. Yup, my manager.

I looked at my manager right in the eyes who was just standing there in a daze. Then he starts yelling at me that I'm fired and screaming for me to get out of the store.

I just keep looking at him as he's yelling at me which pushes me over the end again. I start cursing and screaming at him at how this store couldn't run without me and he's as horrible and lazy boss as I walking out of the store.

As I'm walking home, I stop walking for a minute before I decide to start running to help clear my head.

By the time I got home, I have calmed down a lot.

Before I go in, I just decide to keep walking. I start to think about how I'm going to keep paying for rent. How I need to get a new job.

I need need a job that doesn't suck and that isn't boring. A job that I can make lots of money doing so I don't have to worry about money ever again.

As I'm thinking of this I start walking towards the park

When I get there, I find a bench to sit down on and look up to the sky and just think.

Suddenly I see a shooting star. I make a wish.

A wish to have a better, more exciting life. A life where I'm able to have a brighter future and not work at some convenience store for minimum wage. A life where I make my own future....
