Chapter One

This World Bothers Me

----------------------------------------

There was a short wired yellow alarm clock that was armed and facing towards Loskai direction. And if that little ancient device could think, it would be along the lines of, 'Hey lazy cunt! Leaving me awake all this time you better give me a good ahegao when I cum!' Or something like that.

A sharp shriek erupted from the small thing and a groan murmured back in response from the boy.

His eyes shut firmly, he slowly received his body from the bless comfort and began to feel the hell of rough textures of what he slept in.

From memory alone he knew the alarm was quite distant from where he was and what drawer it sat so snuggly on.

After a few more moments he was up and breaking crust of his mediocre breakfast while keeping his head on the time.

He noted that it was over an hour that the time his diligent older brother wakes up, back in the large house of their mother which was a long way from his apartment. Nevertheless, that didn't stop him from seeing him at times.

The buttered toast and fruit slices was the usual food he ate during this time, anything else and it would be punching his stomach later on.

Opening a cupboard in the kitchen, he took out his glasses, wallet and key before pulling out the platform they were on along with him.

 Walking across the hallway, there was a bit few more people in this building than usual. Hoodies, caps and blankets were over the heads of some of the tolerated leechers sucking hard on the wall.

 But there were a extras on the pathway, strangers to this turf. 

An exceptions?

Strangers don't last more than a minute in these parts of town, already too many filth laying around and nobody wants more.

Loskai straighten his uniform and held his skateboard as well as his sack tight.

Both sides were blocked by the extras and they were by no means small. So the closest stairs was a clear choice, it did change that he have to climb over them if he went the other way.

Before the sleeping lumps, the fimilars to the building gave enough room for him to walk unhindered. Once he was at the lumps, Loskai bounced on his toes as he measures his ability.

Too fucking big. He thought with annoyance.

Putting space between him and the lump, he sprint as close to the space of the path and leaped  onto the wall near him when he was upon the giant sleeping lump.

The impact was soft and the wall was made of rough grit, giving him an advantage for another jump. 

While briefly contemplating close to the floor, he braced himself into a roll to avoid the sting from the drop.

Skating for the last little bit, he tuck in the skateboard in the sack and swung off the stairs. Dropping before colliding at the side of the stairs, then catching the bottom hand rail and repeating.

Just above the last case of stairs Loskai abruptly held fast to the hand rail and smashed into the fence.

The smokers below looked up with a jolt and sweared.

"Ah crazyas motherfucker scared the shit outta me." One of them muttered loudly.

A few coughed the moment they chuckled at the statement and stared at me vacantly.

Loskai took the chance to fall again, catching the bar with full strength on contact and stretched his legs out on this one.

Like a spring, he gave enough resistance on his arms to slow down before doing so when his feet landed.

Greetings the bros out of reguard rather than respect, he left off spring before jumping on to the thrown skateboard.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

"That's one meanass kid Guz." 

"Niggah, I can do that easy."

"Bullshit coming outta of ya again so stick that shit back in your mouth and go ahead and fall off the stairs bitch."

 The paths were utterly useless for a straight stroll for the skateboard which explained Loskai sharp turns. But on a slight down hill, it was faster on the wheels than on his feet. Thus preferred it while making us of it as ankle exercise.

On the path, his wheels were loud and there was ragged hobos hunched and skirting along, holding their life collection in one hand or two.

Noone mined each other nor turned to look at the man that was standing infront of an alleyway crossed arms. Shouts, and beats of different tones resounded on a small cry. A shot of blood splattered on the wall besides the standing man.

Woo. Homerun! Loskai gave a small cheer.

 Half an hour of traveling through shortcuts through vandilised alleyways and out of the slums, there was railways, wired fences, factories and a long smooth road ahead of him. The terminus between 'normal' and 'scum' of society.

----------------------------------------

He finally entered the college grounds and adjusted the the flow of the mass of students pouring out of the late buses. 

With a quick fix up and deodorant, he fitted perfectly with everybody.

 After skating most of the way, the pain reached up his calf's with each step, each muscle stretching and pulling on the bone. But as usual, the zombie lived up his name as being the most laziest person in school.

The bell rang throughout the campus and everyone except the teacher in the homeroom rushed out the door. Loskai looked at the jam not moving, obviously an asshole is blocking the exit but the teacher didn't care.

"Hey! Get out of the way Ethan!"

"Hurry up!"

"Oil you cunt-"

The teacher's head moved up slowly in recognition. "Cade, come here!"

"Oh what?! But sir!"

The slim tall teen shifted out of the now moving mass, mocking jest spewed out from some of the girls that didn't like the playboy.

Seeing the path clear, Loskai tuck in his chair to escape but the teacher's gaze was already on him.

"You to Loskai, come here."

While waiting for Cade and the teacher finishing arguing. Loskai rubbed his face from his droopy expression.

"You want me to call your mom that you were swearing again huh? You got no more chances now so you better fix your attitude."  Cade was kicked out of the class soon after that.

"Where were you last week? I got a truant from the reliever about you."

A blackout and a fist flashed behind his eyes as he recalled the fight that day. Then another when he was at school with the said reliever.

That old bitch kicked me out of class for my 'incorrect' dressing code and thought I didn't belong here.

But he couldn't say that. He was in the same boat as Cade in regards of acceptable attitude, he can't get expelled yet! His allowance would be cut off the moment he's not a student.

"Sorry sir. I was sick and injured myself. I'll get a note tomorrow from one of my caregivers."

As he was about to leave, a hand fell on his shoulder and grip hard enough that was troublesome to take of while still acceptable.

"Everyoned watching you, you know. Especially me Loskai." His tone had a sharp cold end in it.

 Opening the door to English class, stares shot at him. Less than half the class was present and they were the ones that wasn't here from the last few lessons. 

Black sports shoes, tank tops under wrinkled uniform and branded socks. A group were stealthy eating shared food and the only girl was playing on here food freely.

A crackle of chips fell from their mouths. While the immigrant teacher told them off, the thick girl giggled at her food.

"What the hell. What about Alisa Miss Cross? Why aren't you telling her off?!"

"Cause she loves me you faggots" a sly smile appeared on her face.

Sitting in the side of the room, avoiding both the back of the room where the boys are and the lone girl in the front arguing. Loskai rested on his desk.

"Okay you boys shut up and give me your food here or I'll send you next door!" The teacher yelled.

"Haha, shame." The girl loudly spoke.

Loskai dipped his head in his arms and hands, wondering why girls in this ages are so cruded and shameless.

He didn't know when he fell asleep but the teacher was shouting out his name.

The video on the whiteboard was paused and everyone was glaring at him. 

"Loskai. Can you tell me what happened in the last scene?"

Looking up, he observed the screen and saw the word Vines2013 in the top corner.

The object under his hand was soft and warm. A book that he was reading while the video was on.

"I thought it was free time so I was reading."

"Huh!? It not free time Mr Lossskai~ We're learning visual observations skills!" 

She said so confidently as if Vine videos was a sacred material that he just insulted.

All the students here didn't voice anything. Enjoying the video, they just waited.

 The rest of the day, he was mostly ignored.

----------------------------------------

The library was noiser than normal. It annoyed Loskai quite a bit while he was thinking of what he should move next.

Across the table was is only friend in the whole wide school! Stellan.

Brushing the strings of his ukulele, a gentle sound strung over the voices. He was too shy playing louder than a mutter and respect the library unlike most students.

The pieces on the chessboard were in clear and spacious positions and yet each side held a firm defence.

Many of Loskai's special pieces were out and his pawns dominanted the board, his friend's situation was different. Because he masters defensive strategys, most of his pawns were gone.

 The library's door swung opened and a group of boys strolled in. There were two tall yet humble individuals, one each side of the second shortest boy despite him being surrounded by his groupies.

Two words suddenly slipped out off Loskai's lips.

"The cunts." 

The leader eyes were sharp as they slashed at Loskai's direction.

"Hm?"

The question of his friend kept Loskai in peace. He didn't need to be dragged in his feud after all.

Moving his pawn, they continued to play chess.
