*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP* Karitou's alarm starts to beep loudly.
"MmmMMmnnggh-" Karitou stretched while still laying down on his bed. The sound of his alarm can still be heard.
"Ok ok, I'm up..." Karitou got out of his bed and pressed his alarm to stop it from beeping. He stretched once more and went over to his bathroom. It was another day and today is the day Karitou is going to Class 4-Dravøus. He was both nervous and excited to be in that class. After a few minutes in the bathroom, he got out and got dressed. He took his bag and went downstairs and went straight to the kitchen. His mother was in ther cooking breakfast for him and his dad.
"Hey mom. What's cooking?" Karitou asked while peeking over her shoulder.
"Just eggs and backed beans. Nothing special this morning." She replied.
"I'm fine with anything you're cooking. As long as it's edible."
"What did you say?!" She roared while holding her spatula up.
"UUUH.. N-NOTHING." Karitou stuttered and ran to the dining table.
"Yeah, that's what I thought." She looked back at her cooking and continue to cook.
She finished cooking and put the eggs and the baked beans on the table. Karitou helped with setting up the tables by putting plates and glasses. He called his father to come have breakfast together, but he didn't respond. He's probably still sleeping due to staying up last night because of work. Karitou and his mother decided to eat first and leave some for his dad. They finished breakfast and Karitou did all the dishes. After finishing cleaning the dishes, he took his bag and went to the front door. He took out his shoes and threw them on the floor.
"Hey, sweetie, do you have a moment?" His mother asked.
"Yeah mom?" Karitou replied.
"I just... Wanted to tell you something.."
"What is it mom?"
"Be sure to listen to your teacher. Make friends. Learn new things and be kind ok?" She asked in a sad tone.
"Aawh, mom. Sure I will. I promise I'll make you and dad proud. I won't let you guys down." Karitou got up and rushed to hug his mom.
"Thank you sweetie. Now go, you're gonna be late if you're still lolly gagging." She laughed and let go of Karitou.
"Haha, sure." Karitou crouched down and slid on his shoes. "Bye mom!!" Karitou opened the door, waved to his mom and went out.
"Bye sweetie!!" She replied and waved back.
Karitou closed the door and took a deep breath. The sun was rising, birds were singing, flowers were blooming.
"Time for me to start my journey to control my gimmick better." Karitou took his first step, and suddenly he tripped. "Welp.. This is a good start.." He said in his mind. He suddenly stopped mid fall.
"Good thing I caught ya there, partner." Zarkes laughed while holding Karitou's vest.
"This is a nice start for me isn't it.." Karitou whined.
"Mhm."
Zarkes pulled Karitou up and he stood up right. That was a great way to start the day.
"Alright, let's get goin'" Zarkes walked away from Karitou's house.
"Hey, wait for me." Karitou ran to catch up to Zarkes.
Both of them walked to school on their usual path. Passing the convenient store that they went yesterday, passing some houses with really aggressive dogs as pets, you know, the usual things you can see in a neighborhood. After a couple of minutes walking, they finally arrived at school. Both of them walked pass the school's gate and went in. Suddenly, Karitou got pushed forward by something.
"KARITOU!!" Zarkes yelled and quickly grabbed Karitou's vest. He successfully caught Karitou.
"What is up with my luck today.." Karitou asserted his sentence. He got up and tidied up his clothes. Good thing Zarkes caught him again.
"DUDE, ARE YOU OK?!" The figure in front of them asked.
"Oh, I'm fine.. Everything is just peachy." Karitou said sarcastically. He looked forward and saw a student with green hair that was combed back and yellow headphones.
"IM SO, SO SORRY!! I WAS IN A RUSH TO GO TO CLASS!" He said really fast and loudly.
"It's only 7:28. We still have time don't we?" Zarkes exclaimed.
"7:28?!? BUT MY MOM SAID-"
"Guess yer' mom lied to ya. Maybe there's a reason for it. And you're still yellin'" Zarkes cut his sentence.
"Sorry.." he took off his headphones and hooked it on his neck. "Well, I DO wake up late sometimes.."
"No wonder.. What's your name by the way?" Karitou asked.
"Oh, I'm Twixxter, but people call me Twixx." Twixx replied.
"Pleased to meet ya, partner. The names Zarkes."
"I'm Karitou."
"Heeeeey! You're the guy that summoned that big dragon yesterday!!" Twixx said excitingly.
"Ooh, uuh, yeah. I did." Karitou replied.
"DUDE!! IT WAS SO AMAZING!! THE DRAGON WAS ALL LIKE, RAAAAWR!! AND YOU WERE LIKE, BAAAAM!!! AND THE OTHER KID WAS LIKE, WEEEEEEEEH!!!" Twixx started to talk about Karitou's gimmick from yesterday.
"Ok, ok, stop. You're like really loud." Karitou replied.
"Oh, sorry.." Twixx toned down a little. "But man. You were really cool yesterday."
"Ok enough chit-chattin'. Let's get to class already." Zarkes said and walked up the stairs.
"HEY WAIT FOR US!!" Karitou and Twixx yelled while running towards Zarkes.
The three of them walked up the stairs and reached the third floor. They scouted out to find their class. After a few minutes, they found their class.
"Wait, what class are you in?" Karitou asked Twixx.
"Oh, class 4-Dravøus." Twixx replied.
"Huh, same as us then." Zarkes nudged Karitou's shoulder.
"Mhm." Karitou replied.
"Oh sweet!! I got to be in the same class with the dragon dude!!"
"Alright, let's go in."
The three of them walked towards the door. Twixx grabbed the handle and pulled it and the door opened. They saw 9 other students in the class already. All of them were in their own groups.
"After you, dragon boy." Twixx said and held the door for Karitou.
"Thanks, I guess?" Karitou replied and walked in. He passed the door and immediately got pushed to the side. "Great..." He said in his mind.
Zarkes quickly grabbed his vest again and caught him mid fall. The person that bumped Karitou looked back and saw him leaning.
"Uuuh, you ok?" The student said with a deep voice.
"Oh I'm fine.. I only tripped 3 times today.." Karitou said sarcastically and got up. He looked to see who bumped him and saw the student with black hair, pointy ears and red skin. Tall as well.
"Sorry for bumping in to you.. SOMEONE won't stop bugging me.." The student said, rolling his eyes to another student behind him.
"HEY, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO TOOK MY BONE!!" The student behind him said. He had dark blue hair, he was really hairy and had wolf ears.
"Awh, did little puppy want his bone back?" The red skinned student said cutely.
"YES, YES, YES!!" He started panting.
"GO GET IT BOY!!" He threw the bone at the back of the class.
"MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE!!!"
"Now that he's out of the way, let me introduce myself. I'm Xenon, and the wolf there is Hyreon."
"Ok... I'm Karitou, the one with the hat is Zarkes, and he's Twixx." Karitou replied.
"Ooh, you're that kid that summoned the dragon, right?" Xenon asked with his left eyebrow raised.
"Oh, yeah. That's me.." Karitou replied.
"Dude, you were so cool!!" Xenon praised. "Hey guys, look who's in the same class as us!!" Xenon grabbed Karitou and carried him to the middle of the class. He was surprisingly strong. He put Karitou down and everyone in the class gathered in front of them.
"Guys, this is Karitou. Karitou, meet everyone else."
"Uuuh, h-hi?" The whole class was in front of him in a circle. All of them looked really excited to meet Karitou. They kind of admire him.
"Hey man! You're dragon was sooo cool!! I'm Sauron by the way. This shy guy beside me is Gryson." Sauron said while giving Gryson a nuggie. Sauron had yellow skin and brown hair. He even had a tail. Meanwhile, Gryson had dark purple hair and wore glasses. He looked really serious.
"Sauron, stop that or else I'll beat you to a pulp." Gryson said while gripping Sauron's hand.
"S-sorry.." He let got of Sauron and shook hands with Karitou. While shaking hands, two girls popped up in the middle of them. One had red hair and one had blue hair.
"Heeeeeey!!!" The both of them said at the same time.
"My name is Amber." The one with the red hair said.
"And IIIIIII'm Aloura!!" The blue haired one winked.
"And weeeeeerreee the Hot and Cold Twiiiins!!"
"Oh, pleased to meet you two." Karitou replied.
There was another student at the back. They had white green-ish hair that covered up both of their eyes. A short fella as well. They looked shy.
"Hey, come introduce yourself to the dragon guy!!" Amber said to the shy student. They declined. "Excuse Fern here. He doesn't like to socialise with anyone he never met before." Amber rolled her eyes to the side and sighed.
"No no, it's ok. You guys can probably introduce him to me yourself anyways." Karitou scratched the back of his head.
"Sure!!" Amber said excitingly. "This is Fern. He's shy, can grow mushrooms and talk to small animals. The girl at the back with blonde hair there is Illy. She can shine really bright and can create light beams. Lastly, the guy with dark blue hair and white bangs is-"
"Oktaver?" Karitou cut off Amber's sentence as he focused his sight on the person. He vaguely remembers his face but remembered the colour of his hair.
"Mm.." Oktaver hummed while not looking at Karitou's face. He wasn't paying attention to what was currently happening in class. He couldn't careless about his classmates nor any stupid things happening around him. He continues to write something in his note book but was stopped by a sudden flick on the ear.
"OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" He yelped at Amber. "It's considered rude to not look at the person's face while talking." Amber crossed her arms. Oktaver looked up to see who was talking to him.
"Karitou?-"
