《FADE DAM》First Encounter
Advertisement
I have never been particularly fond of kids talkless of running a day care. Coupled with my bad temper, i'm sure the kids parent would've made sure to close down the school but I still choose to go there today cause my best friend owns one and I decided to pay her a visit.
I sluggishly walked towards the building and I can hear the noise all the way from there and I wonder how she can stand that. Urgh i feel the headache coming already.
"Hey Blondie!" I greeted my friend Dawn. She had her tied up in a ponytail, dressed in a short flowered dress and sandals giving her that calm, innocent look which she is and I'm dressed in my regular pants,tees and sneakers. I'm definitely not calm and as Dawn usually call me i'm a human trouble magnet. But as they say opposite attracts.
"Where have you been?. Anyways you came just in time, come help me with the kids" she said. "Nope" without second thoughts I replied as I walked towards a room.
"SIAN get yourself back here, why bother coming if you're going to be useless" she shouted. I stopped then stared at her blankly. Raising her voice is pointless and she knows that. "You know what never mind just go to sleep its useless talking to you" she sighed. I gave her a smile
I never planned on doing otherwise either ways. Still smiling i got into the room laid on the bed ready to sleep when a random kid entered into the room my smile fell instantly. "Hey kid you looking for something?" I asked. She looked at me then she started crying, I was confused.
"Jenna what's wrong why are you crying?" Dawn said on entering the room. She looked my way then pointed at me."Are you kidding, I didn't even do anything" I said still confused. Kids can be so annoying.

"Let's go out, just ignore her" She said while carrying the kid out. I shrugged. Works well for me,i wasn't going to let a kid ruin my day either.
After turning and tossing on bed I still couldn't sleep cause of the noise outside. I wonder what I was thinking when i decoded to come sleep at a daycare.
I stood up while staying at the entrance then said to my friend "Blondie tell your kids to keep it down some of us are trying to get our beauty sleep you know"
"No amount of sleep is going to make you beautiful" she retorted. I could tell she was still angry. Then we'll have to do this my way.
"KEEP QUIET!!" I shouted and immediately everyone was quiet. "Now you all listen to me I'm going inside that room to sleep making gestures with my hand and I don't want to hear even a pin dropping. Understood?" They nodded. Even my friend was surprised.
Later that evening on our way home I noticed she was not chatty like she usually is. "I'm shutting down the school" she blurted out just when I was about asking if something was wrong. And that was definitely not what I expected cause she so much love kids and the school.
"Why,Did something happen?" I asked. "No" she hesitated but I wasn't going to force her. She'll tell me when she's ready. "Well then at least you'd be free from those little devils" I replied her honestly which made her laugh.
The next day I woke earlier than Dawn i ordered pizza, drinks and icecream for myself leaving a note behind for her then I washed up and left for a nearby store to get some groceries.
On my way out I mistakenly hit a guy making what I got to fall off my hands, he helped me picked them up. He was way taller than I am that was all I noticed cause i was in a hurry to go home and definitely still sleepy I just decided to be a good girl today.

Outside the mall, Hey! I heard, I turned and saw it was those guys I got a loan from,"Can my day get any worse" I groaned. "Where's my money?"one of them asked. I never planned on seeing them today not waiting i ran dropping all what I bought. "Hey! Hey! Hey!" I didn't stop until I got to a dead end.
"You sure run fast, come here while I'm being nice"one of them said while breathing heavily."You really think I'm as stupid as you are" I retorted. God my mouth will really be the death of me.
In a flash, it became survival of the fittest. "One against five doesn't seems fair" I said in the midst of fighting. From behind I almost got hit and instinctively i turned ready to hit and unexpectedly without touching the guy he was thrown to the wall making the iron bar in his hands tighten around his neck.

The Way Ahead
What do you do when you don't fit in? Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He didn't really need it, anyway. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe... not that there were many left to find. Modern-day research was just too well-established, too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make any significant headway. But that doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate much of society with little room for novel experimentation from its residents. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. Things are never that easy, though. The Way Ahead is a very slice-of-life story following the story of someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips by the System, and lots of exploration involving the world, self-discovery, and above all, science. After all, further research is always required. Updates every other day at 9 AM PST. Congratulations! For writing a story during the month of November, you have unlocked the Royal Road Writathon Participant path!
