In a quiet classroom many students were writing an examination, there faces were either full of determination, seriousness or confusion all except for one who had an idiotic grin on his face who had already finished his exam.
He was a goofy looking kid of a short stature but a rather big build and a bigger head which made him look odd and looking at his face even religious zealots would believe that man has surely evolved from monkeys.
He was looking outside the window feeling the breeze of cool air on his face and watching the trees bask in the brilliant sunlight. He was no genius but not stupid either he was in the middle someone who never failed a test but someone who would never get an A either. But he still finished his every test despite it being in bad handwriting to enjoy these moments of peace and calmness.
'Today is the last day of my school life, It lasted quite a long time I had many experiences not all good but they are a memory now, how did it all begin and how did it come to this...

"Here's your study material for tomorrow, starting tomorrow you will be going to school just like your brother"
The father left it on the bed and went to take a shower after a long day of work. The kid opened the pack and there were many things he recognized while there were many unknown to him.
"Oh I know this it's a pencil like the one brother has and it's a notebook and what is this in a small box"
Inside the box there were many small things made up of shiny metal they were cuboidal in shape but they were hollow inside and open from the front and back. Touching it separated it in two now the bottom part detatched but so did the side part along with it and formed two things both identical.
"Oh I remember I've seen them before on dad's desk inside the stapler, he said not to play with it but now he got me one." When suddenly his dumbfounded expression changed into a happy one "Looks like I'm old enough to play with it."
He picked up one of the two pieces and started pulling a piece from it and one pin came out of it.
"Woah, how does it work"
Suddenly the kid felt the urge to straighten the pin and he got to it instantly.
"Ahhh" a side of the pin had lodged into the gap between his finger tip and his fingernail causing to leak blood from it.
'Oh no, what did I do gotta hide it from everyone or what will happen if they find out, dad will shout at me Or even beat me like the last time he beat up brother for putting his cellphone in the fire' he tore open a piece of paper from his notebook and wrapped it around his finger to stop the blood and held it with his other hand.
'What to do, what to do' thinking this he heard his father's voice in the other room and ran from the other door towards the washroom.
'Gotta clean the blood, I can't let him find out about this'
Getting in the washroom he opened the tap and poured water on his wound and rolled the dirty paper into a ball and threw it away.
"Huh, I'm fine now no one will find out now"
Getting out of the washroom he saw his mother "Where have you been?" his mother asked
Trying to hide his hand behind his back he said "I was just in the bathroom before that I was checking the things dad bought me for school"
"Hmm, come have dinner and go to bed early it's your first day at school tomorrow"
"Ok"
He had dinner while watching his favorite and cartoon and once done he placed the dirty dishes in the sink and went to sleep.
