CHAPTER 2 - Change

Let's recap my current moment. I pulled my memories and I'm currently at my grandmother's house, which is in another city.

Old Rick finished sophomore year and went on vacation. Your family, in this case my family now, decided to travel. I refused and came to this small town.

Speaking of family, mine is made up of my father, my stepmother and my half sister. One of the main reasons I don't travel is my sister.

Her name is Alice. She is the same age as me, 17 years old. She's not among the three beauties at school, but she's popular with boys.

Our relationship is the worst. Alice mistreats me, when I gained weight, the abuse went from bad to worse.

I sighed, I understand why old Rick killed himself. His life was total shit, few people can reverse this situation.

Well I'm different from him. I can reverse this, I just need to plan. I have a month until the end of the vacation.

"Rick"

Suddenly I heard a voice. I left the room and headed towards the voice.

I ended up in the kitchen, there I saw an old lady, her hair was white and short.

"Grandmother?"

It was my grandmother, her name was Martha. If I'm not mistaken, she refused to move into town. My grandmother said you can't leave this house.

This house was where my grandfather lived, who died. She refuses to leave the memories that lived here behind.

"I made dinner. Let's eat." She said.

I sat down at the table. I looked at the food, it basically juat had fatty foods.

That must be what Rick liked to eat.

"Grandma, starting tomorrow can you make healthier food?"

Her eyes showed surprise.

"Of course I can. But did something happen to you to change your diet like this?" She asked curiously.

"I decided I can't live like this anymore. I'm going to start doing some exercises, I want to use this vacation to make changes in my life." I said.

Martha gave me a sharp look. I felt a little uncomfortable with the intensity of her gaze. In the end, she sighed and said.

"My grandson has finally started to become an adult. Who knew I would be the first to witness this change hohoho."

She smiled at the end of the sentence. Martha must have been happy with my move. If you think about it, this is normal, the person who inhabits this body is a 23-year-old former mobster.

I went through many things in my life, I had to make several important decisions. Compared to old Rick, any decision I make will be more responsible for other people's opinions.

"Let's eat before it gets cold." I said.

My goal was to shift focus before this old woman realized anything else.

We ate dinner and went to sleep.

The next day I woke up very early, starting today I will start an exercise routine.

I left my grandma's house for a run. The sun had not yet risen and the streets were filled with mist.

Without further ado, I started to run in the cold.

It was a very difficult race, my physical size doesn't make things easier for me.

I ran about 2 kilometers and fell to the ground. My body was sore all over.

I rested for thirty minutes.

After that period, I started doing simple exercises. I did 3 sets of 10 squats, 3 sets of push-ups and 3 sets of habidominals.

I rested and ran back to my grandmother's house. The sun started to rise when I arrived, and my grandmother still hadn't gotten out of bed.

I went into the bathroom and filled the tub with hot water. Heat promotes blood circulation and contributes to muscle recovery.

After that, I spent most of my day reading. It's been a while since I've seen school subjects.

In my old world, I was the king of the business. My grandfather taught me from an early age how to handle the family's illegal business.

In addition, they taught me various martial arts. My grandfather created the perfect monster to act in the underworld.

I went to school like a normal person, I always got grades above 90%. The problem was that I had no contact with this content after I graduated from high school.

I just need to recall.

After spending the day studying. I went to the backyard of the house.

I started practicing martial arts moves. If I do it now, the movements will be much more natural when I lose weight.

I spent an hour practicing moves. Obviously, in the end I was really tiring.

That was my routine throughout the month. Every morning I went out for a run and exercise. Always increasing the distance and the number of repetitions.

During the day I read and at night I practiced martial arts.

My grandmother complied with my request and started cooking healthier foods.

On the penultimate day of vacation, I finally reached my goal. My body wasn't defined, but the muscles were already visible.

The only thing left now was a haircut.

I left my grandmother's house and headed towards the only hair salon in town. The only hairdresser in this town was a woman.

When my hair was cut, I couldn't believe what I saw. It looked like an ogre had turned into a prince.

In fact, my hair was so long that I could barely see my face before.

When paying.

"This is my number. Please call me." the hairdresser woman said.

I gave her a smile. The girl's cheek turned red, she fanned her face with her hands.

I said goodbye and walked out. Along the way, I could see several people looking at me. It just made my ego get bigger and bigger.

Upon arriving at my grandmother's house.

"Wow, you look amazing." My grandmother said.

I smiled at her. Today is the last day I sleep here.

"Your father asked what time you are going tomorrow."

"I'll take the last bus. Tell him he doesn't have to wait up." I said.

When the old Rick came to this town, he didn't bring a cell. He wanted to isolate himself from the world.

My grandmother communicated with my father on my behalf.

I decided to spend this rest of vacation talking to my grandmother. She told me a lot of funny stories, some sad and some boring.

In the end it was good.

Finally, it was time to go back to my father's house. A new life awaits me.
