Aunts gift

Ren woke up after awhile much to his disappointment that he hadn't finally died.

He went to the bathroom and washed up his face, clearing up the blood stain that stemmed from his mouth.

'Fat hog, that bastard smelled like greenbeans today.'

Ren enters his first class, Economics. Despite being 26 minutes late the teacher doesnt seem to care, giving Ren his worksheet and continuing to play mobile games on his smartphone.

Everyone in the classroom is also either on their phones or making out with eachother.

'This school might aswell be a brothel with how these hoes act'

After awhile Ren completes the worksheet about supply and demand.

'Its finally me time'

Ren puts his headphones on and channels out thr world around him, as usual. He has a study hall for 3 hours after this class for being an outstanding student, so essentially he can do fuck all except for harassing other classes but he wouldn't do that unless he wanted to get beaten by roadhog or slim Jim in a chance encounter.

Once again Unravel starts playing, its Rens favorite song so of course he has multiple versions of it downloaded onto his pod.

'Oh, can you tell me?

Oh, can you tell me?

A monster in my heart

And now there's nothing left'

Ren sings along in his head, not daring to sing out loud even though his voice isnt that bad.

When he was younger he had fantasized about being a singer but of course his dreams would never come true as in his philosophy, even a chunk of dirt thrown by an awe inspiring and powerful man to greater heights, is still a chunk of dirt.

Rens favorite spot is the library, as hardly anyone in the school goes to it and the old man that runs the checkout is very nice, letting Ren sit in the corner and read by himself.

The old man could only think and feel sad about the poor boy, who has been thrown into a dog eat dog world with a strap of juicy meat tied to his back.

*ding*

"Ah, Chisaki, here to renew your books?"

The old man pulls up a scanner and smiles widely.

"Ah, yes sir. Though I was wanting to look at more books."

"Of course, just remember the limit is 4 books."

Chisaki nods her head, a brief silence ruminates, then she makes her way down the rows, looking at different book titles, not hearing the small shuffling behind her.

'Ah this one looks good, "The Punkisher: Re" '

She thinks as she reaches out her hand only to feel a cold sensation glide over her wrist.

"Ah sorry, didnt know you were going for that."

Chisaki turns her head to see who touched her, expecting a pervert who want to try and hookup.

Instead its the lonesome boy from the bus, with the cracked glasses.

"Oh, Ren. Didnt see you."

"Oh, Chisaki was it? Move your hand so I can get that book."

Chisaki grimaces and steam seems to boil in her face.

"Y-you bastard cant you ask nicely?!"

Chisaki yells at Ren, pushing him back lightly.

"No."

Ren reaches his hand around the girls neck and yoinks the book out.

A tinge of blush overcomes the girls face, as she didn't expect him to just ignore her presence.

"Tsk. Bastard."

Chisaki storms off in a fit of feminine rage.

Ren looks down at his plain watch.

'My study hall is over soon. Then its combined science and then home...home...great.'

Ren makes the best of his time and reads more cheesey murder mysteries, increasing his repertoire of useless knowledge.

"Bye Sir."

Ren waves his hand at the smiling old man who sheepishly waves back and closes up the library, as it has to be locked down midday or thieves will ransack it during lunch hours.

Ren makes his way down the hall but stops suddenly as his phone vibrates, he flips it open out of his pocket.

'A message from auntie?'

He clicks the tab open and a small wall of text appears

"Ren! to congratulate your 4.0 GPA I got you a gift, when you come home check your room, also I bought your momma some tobacco patches so she will stop smoking xxxooox"

'As eccentric as always eh?'

As far as he could remember his aunt Shiza was one of the few family members that loved him and tried to keep him alive, yet she still only visits periodically as my mother hates her guts.

She always gives him soap or deodorant to clean himself, knowing his mother only buys junk food and beer.

Ren closes his phone and sighs.

"Auntie, I cant wait to see my new pair of socks, she said some if mine were getting extra crusty and needed to be replaced, but im never telling her why they were crusty and stiff."

He continues walking until he reaches his combined science class, it goes as normal.

Everday the teacher, a ripe old woman who looks like beef jerky hands out a test, despite never giving a lesson.

It is up to the students to figure out what the hell is going on, and so most tend to fail hence the older lads who are still in HS.

She always says some bullshit about how kids need to learn respect and discipline despite not respecting any of her students and being too much of a coward to discipline any student.

Ren marks his test about asexual reproduction, it takes him the whole hour to finish it, while the others just marked random answers and turned it in.

'I truly am the only little shit in this school that cares, the 2nd smartest student behind me has a 2.9 GPA'

Ren only wants to get out of this hellhole, luckily its his last year then he can move onto a prestigious college where being beaten to a pulp is a 1 in a million occurrence.

"Ren, same stop as usual?"

The bus driver smiles as he takes the wooden token from Ren.

The ride goes as usual, he arrives home in the shitty side of the city and unlocks the door and enters.

His mom lays and watched TV, a bottle of vodka fresh in her hands.

"Oh, your home!"

She quickly stands up but she doesnt see Ren, no in her drunkenness she can only associate the hair with her deadbeat husband.

"Oh, how was work darling?"

Ren stops his moms hands from groping his chest.

"Mom. Dont compare me to him."

He pushes up his glasses apathetically as he speaks.

"O-oh- OH! Ren- my son how was school?"

"Mom lay down you are obviously about to pass out from being so drunk."

Rens mom stumbles backwards.

"No-no son look my dear sister got me these patches so I wont be bad anymore!"

She lifts up the sleeve of her tshirt and a half taped on nicotine patch dangles on her shoulder.

"Tsk."

He storms to his room and slams his door.

His mom smiles and lays down on the couch

"I cant believe my son is already graduating 6th grade, soon he will go to middle school!"

Ren takes off his glasses and ruffles his hair beforr unloading his bag onto the work desk that has been used harshly.

"Meow...-nya!"

A small squeak comes from his bed.

Ren stares deadpanned at the small box with holes.

A note lay across the top.

Ren snatches it up.

"I know you don't have any friends, so try to make this one yours! I will bring food this weekend for it, please dont give it fast food during that time xxooxxx -Auntie Shiza"

'That damn woman.'

Ren opens the box hesitantly, a small cat with a blue collar with an adorable bell sits and purrs, cuddling a squirtle plushie.

The tabby cat looks up to him and mews.

Ren grabs the cat nervously and stares at it.

The cat decides to stare back silently, and into his soul.

"Meow."

"What do you want."

"Meow."

"I dont like animals."

"Meow"

"I mean, I dont hate them. You Get what I mean?"

"Meow?"

"What breed of cat are you anway? Like some cats are orange and some are black."

"Meow!"

"Hmph, fine. Dont shit on my bed. You little cunt."

"Meow."

"Stop meowing you little bastard!"

"WHATS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM MISTER!"

'Did this cat just talk?'

Instinctively Ren throws the cat to his bed and jumps back.

"Oi mister whyd you throw me?!?!?"

"Your a talking fucking cat!"

" Oh yeah... Meow."

"NO NO, DONT GO BACK TO BEING NORMAL!"

"Meow."

"Meow."

"Shit stop staring at me mister! Meow!"

"MEOWING AFTER TALKING DOESNT MAKE IT NORMAL!"

The cat jumps into Rens lap, he tries to dodge the furball but fails miserably, the cat claws up to his face.

"Is this normal?"

A blinding mist appears and Ren covers his eyes.

He coughs and feels a pressure ontop of his legs.

He looks up and sees 2 vibrant blue eyes staring at him, hot breath inches close to his face.

The cat- now girl leans back and makes a peace sign with her fingers and grins.

"It's your lucky day mister, I finally found you after 7 years of searching!"

"Eh, 7 years?!?!"

"Touka at your service Sir Ren!"

"WHAT THE FUCK!"
