Wednesday, the second day of school. My excitement hasn’t died down, not completely. I suppose it’s going to be a nice day, yesterday they told us that today we would be shown the available elective course in the gymnasium after lunch. We’ll have to hand in a paper in which we’ll specify what course we’re going to attend to, there’s a minimum of one course and a maximum of three. I already know what elective courses there are, but actually seeing what they do and stuff it’s better, I believe.
Before having breakfast, just two toast with jam and some juice, I took a quick shower and put on yesterday’s clothes. They’re still clean and we can’t really wash them after each use, unless they’re visibly dirty and stink. It’d be a waste. Mom brought me to school today too, it’s the arrangement my parents agreed on. A week mom then a week dad, for the first two months. Afterwards, I’ll begin taking the bus. I was made to memorize the route and which bus I have to take.
The weather was pretty tame, a chilly wind blew sometimes but as there was no cloud in the sky, the heat from the sun didn’t make it cold. Pretty nice. In the car, while going to school, mom gave me a worried look. It wasn’t anything serious, just that, at times, I like to touch and feel the wonderful blue flowers I see. I know they aren’t real, but being able to see and feel them so clearly, though rarely, makes me forget it.

After a quick stop by my locker, a green, tall metal box with a rather long password, I went to class. I put inside tomorrow’s book that I wouldn’t need today and took out all the others. My family certainly wasn’t low on money, dad was a lawyer and mom was a professional cook with her own personal 4-star restaurant, but the school books weren’t cheap. All ranged from 20$ to 30$. Natalie wanted to give me hers, but they.. didn’t contain the required information.

All while numerous outside forces threaten the survival of them both. Now, however, something unpredictable has happened in one of the forgotten corners of Human Space. A man from another era has received a mission. Will he merely become a footnote in history? Or perhaps he is the herald of the end of the stalemate and the conclusion of the Long War?
