Chapter 1: The day to day

recess ends but as it is a combat class, Avis has a medical permit which allows him to skip it, he just stays on the roof where he sleeps for seconds, seconds that turn into minutes and so on until a movement wakes him up.

-ha? who?-

his eyes open in surprise to see a young woman lying next to him on the floor sleeping soundly, her pale skin, dark lined eyes, black hair peeking through the hood, it was inevitable to recognize her, the only student allowed to wear clothes out of regulation.

-Miss Arnis? -

fearful of the other person's reaction, Avis only hesitates for a second, but lets out his words trying to catch her attention.

She slowly and gently opened her eyes, revealing the violet color in them reflected in the sunlight.

-Good morning-

lost from her surroundings, she left those words as a question, turning to the other side ready to sleep.

-N-no, Miss Arnis, you were supposed to be in your fight, weren't you?-

Scared of the problems that this could cause him, I call the attention of the young woman, who still sleepily embraces him lightly.

-What are you doing?!

but in response he only received a look of annoyance from the other person.

-silence-

With those words Avis only stayed still while Gabriela hugged him like a stuffed animal, little by little Avis' blinking became more relaxed and heavier, he didn't know when but he let himself go, time passed without mercy, only for Avis' eyes to slowly open and he could notice the complete darkness and a light caress on his head.

-Are you awake?

-I'm sorry, Miss Arnis.

Avis stood up abruptly avoiding looking at her face, but even so the blush was clearly showing on his face.

But she didn't flinch at what had happened, she just stared into the distance and slowly stood up.

-Shall we go?

Avis nodded slowly as he followed her up the stairs, and the two of them walked silently together through the empty school.

-You know, sometimes this feels like home, other times it feels empty, I really hate having the ability I have, I hate being who I am and sometimes I appreciate it, how grateful I am every day to be alive, do you feel the same way?

but at Gabriela's words, he answered calmly, without looking at the ground, just looking ahead with decision.

-This place has never felt like home to me, it's just a stepping stone to overcome, I can't say that I have never cursed how I was born, with the conditions, but I can't hate it, I have my sister who is my reason to live, I can suffer but she can't, that's why I can't be thankful to be alive, I just have to demand it.

When they both arrived at the school exit, he finished speaking but Gabriela let out a whisper, before saying goodbye to Avis.

-Maybe I would like to be one....

He watched her silently walk away and then went on his way again, but not before picking up his phone and making a call.

-Are you studying?

-I was sleeping before you woke me up," he said.

-ha ha, you should study, remember it's your job.

-What's the use of studying, this is boring, all the books are easy even yours, I still can't understand why you make mistakes in such easy questions, boo-hoo!

-Hmmm, for now try to do something, sleeping all day is not good for you, I promise to bring you home a book that will make you feel challenged, okay?

-Hey! I'll have homework, or if you remember to buy a dress for Mirian?

-You know I'm going to look weird buying doll clothes.

-Porfisss!

-ha ha I'll do my best

-Goodbye little brother!

the call was cut short with an animated all voice from the other person, in the silence of the darkness his footsteps continued forward as he looked up at the starry sky, his thoughts began to flash back.

"when did she start getting so smart, at this rate she'll never have a normal life."

his fist clenched tightly, but he just continued on his way, more resolutely than before.

The night job was no big deal, he just had to restock items in the store, serve the occasional customer and even answer questions from drunks who approached the place.

With Avis analysis he could see from his place where he had to replenish items or which ones were out of date, for that job it was a very pleasant skill, finally it was useful for something.

His night is day, at the end of his shift, on his way back home he manages to see in a showcase advanced degree books, university books, something he would like to give to his sister, but the cost was too much for someone in his condition.

Resigned, he returns home, where a bill for the hospital, electricity and water awaits him at the door. He reluctantly picks up the three bills while he puts his sister's and his own clothes in the wash, tidies up the place and cleans while she sleeps.

and so on until he has two hours left to sleep.

But while he was getting ready for bed, from outside a woman with long purple hair watched with a mischievous smile.
