After you wear all your clothes, and you're done packing, you jump out of the room. You rush to the end of the hall and just about made it outside then someone says,
"And where do you think you're going young man?"
you jump before turning left to see your mother in the kitchen. She's washing dishes and seems to be too occupied to look at you.
You pull yourself together, smile, and say,
"School?"
"I can't remember the last time I saw someone going to school with a sword packed on his back." She says without even looking at you. She then goes to the table and puts some dishes on it and
you realize she knows. So you just think of a reason.
"Well...aaaa....you know.The road is not safe"
She turns toward you and finally looks at you in a real concerned manner.
"You DO go to school, don't you Josh?"
You can't look at her eyes so you turn your head down and look at the old rusty floor. Finally you realize there is no reason for a fight and put the sword away, "That's my boy."she says with a big smile.
You know now that there is no choice left except school so you say,
"Can I go now?".
"I'd rather you eat your meal first but yes if you insist." she says as she continues setting table.
"Right, okay. See you."you walk outside, not knowing how amazing today could be, but it turns out things aren't always the way they seem to be.
So you get to school with some friends you walk with on your way there everyday. You look at the site; an old building on top of a hill right after you pass the small smelly village. You're getting to the yard' wandering in the everyday thoughts of school, and one of your friends grabs your arm. "Hey..Hey..what?" You say, jumping out of your imaginations.
He stays silent and you look at his shocked face then follow his gaze to a fantastic armored rider with a magical shining greatsword.The light shines so brightly on plates of his armor that it hurts your eyes. "What the hell does a royal guard want here?" You wonder outloud, realizing you talked much louder than you think.
"I'm not sure. Father said they were looking for someone, don't know who and besides it's better not to interfere in royal matters." Your friend says as he pushes you to walk again but you can't take your eyes of the knight.
You wonder if he would talk to you and cherish in the thought of being in his company. "Come on! The teacher is in and we have to go dammit!" Your friends says as he walks to the school, trying to pull you with him. You pull your hand away from your friend and stand right where you are. The rider gets off his horse and goes into an inn, your friend keeps blabbering something about school and your teacher, but you can't hear him very well. Suddenly you realized you promised your mother you'd go to school. You know the teacher and you really don't want to be late 'cause you know what he does for punishment.
