The End. (of this arc)

So somehow I need to get through this entire class with no form of entertainment for myself and no notebook to do something either. This is bound to be a terribly boring class. Leona started drawing on the board. It was a special board that had basically brought to life what you drew well, not literally. But it was a sort of like a hologram, so it was a more interactive learning tool.

She just drew a circle with scraggly lines coming out of it double tapped it and it came off of the board as what looked like a power core. "You see this? This is the core of all life. All living things have them, and also the cause of all death as they lose efficiency. This is the power core. You see, when one dies, this power core just disappears. No one knows exactly why it just does."

Sounds like something I'd like to write down in my notes, but I don't have them whatsoever. I just need to absorb as much knowledge from this lecture as I can and hopefully write down everything that I see. Luckily, since a small percentage of my visual prowess has returned, I have my photographic memory back. "I'm going to start with cause of death. The cause of all natural deaths is like a rusty engine that loses all efficiency and keeps dying down until the eventual death of the engine.

Your life force as it flows through your body is like flowing water," She had the hologram simulation of a core start pulsing it didn't look anything like my power core, it looked less vibrant it was on the verge of dying the flow of life force was slowing down and was pulsing unhealthily with black impurities seeping and breaking the core apart with every unhealthy sputter until the core broke and disappeared.

"Did all of you see that? The cause of death was the impurities flowing through the life force. But as you saw, the core was sputtering unhealthily before the impurities showed clearly. What do you think the cause of that was?" Someone raised their hand Leona pointed at the boy, giving him permission to speak. "Since you described the power core as an engine, I'm guessing it was the equivalent of a car running on bad oil?"

"Correct!" Leona said with slight enthusiasm. "Since the impurities ran through the core's system for so long, it was like breathing in a slight poison until it kills you, or running on bad oil." Leona flipped the model around again. She kept going more and more in-depth, then looked up to the clock and realized that all the time had run out and that we were almost late for class. With the amount of flipping pages I had heard throughout the class, there were a lot of notes taken.

The moment Brian stepped outside of the classroom, he took a big sigh. He looked drained. "My poor wrist…" He mumbled. I chuckled, and he made an intense look at me. "You didn't have to write anything down. You're so lucky." "Yeah dude, I'm lucky because I'm an idiot." I said sarcastically, "Exactly lucky enough to be born with the perfect amount of idiot to be lucky and the perfect amount of extreme intelligence to do anything when you're older."

"I can't tell if you're insulting me or complimenting me right now." I said, laughing lightly, "A little of both, but don't stress the idiot side of your brain trying to figure it out." "That was just mean. I'm kind of offended, but at the same time I don't care." I said, making sure I had my notebook this time for history class so I wasn't stuck trying to retain information with just my memory again.

Since lunch is right now and I don't eat lunch, I have a little bit of time. Maybe I'll go up to the roof. "Do you want to go up to the roof? It's my favorite spot, and I think you'd really like it too," Brian asked me right before I was about to ask him. "I was just about to ask that." "Perfect timing then." He responded playfully, "I guess so."

Then I remembered, "First let's go to the mural, to pay respects, you know?" I said to him, hoping he understood. The concept of religion really is growing on me. If there's a God, I hope he sent all of them to a Utopia. I walked to the mural in the empty hallway. It was a striking piece, as always, without a single flaw, red and beautiful. Everything about it reminds me to be better that I can never stop improving because if there's ever a moment like that ever again then I need the strength, the tenacity to do what needs to be done.

Sometimes the cure for the disease is a supplement of it, I realized that long ago. But I'll never implement that way of thinking again. This is a new era of my life and it's going to stay that way, hopefully forever.

I bowed my head as a sign of respect, then ran outside of the window and jumped, turned around mid-air and grabbed the leg of the roof. "What took you so long?" Brian asked me confused, "I was just paying my respects." He nodded and looked out into the clouds. It was a clear blue sky with not a single cloud in the sky. No worries no, problems, the perfect day. I looked out on the tropical island we're on. The ocean shined and sparkled with a mystical gleam.

"You really do know me well!" I said enthusiastically, "You love it don't you?" "Yeah, it's beautiful!" "I know right, it gave me chills the first time I came up here the ever-expanding ocean and the sun's bright light shining combined on a warm summer day gives a different sort of feeling." He said with a smile on his face.

I'm truly happy and nothing can take that away from me.

Staring out at the ocean I smiled purely, I'm free.

Free from all responsibilities, free from pain, free from sadness. Sure, I might still have my problems, but all things will work out just fine.

The End.
