Chapter 2: Chapter 1

–Wake - I heard a voice between cuts, who could it be? I thought as I curled up in bed.
- Wake up, Leo!
- Mmm, what's wrong? -I said as I looked in the direction of the voice.
- Get up Leo, or you'll be late for the first day of the academy!
- What?! -I shouted and got up abruptly from the bed.
- Hurry up and get dressed and come to breakfast," the voice said as I hurried to the clothes closet and picked out a new set of clean clothes.
Quickly putting on the new set of clothes, I put on a pair of black formal shoes and ran out of the room, down the stairs until I reached the dining room.
In the dining room, there was a boy with his eyes closed sitting in front of a couple of plates, one with crumbs of food, and the other filled with bacon, eggs and toast, without paying attention to him I sit down next to him and quickly start gobbling down the already warm food.
- I told you not to stay up late last night leo -said a voice behind me.
- (swallowing) I did, but I couldn't sleep," I reply as I get up from my chair and look towards the source of the voice.
- Don't wait for me, I'm late from work today, you can order pizza for dinner," said the voice while giving the boy a gentle pat on the head.
- Take care mom," I replied as I grabbed the two empty plates and took them to the dishwasher.
- See you later, ma'am," said the boy slowly.
- See you guys later," replied mom sweetly as she walked out of the dining room.
- Get up, we have to leave now or we'll be in trouble.
- (nod).
Leaving the house, we started running towards the nearest subway entrance, going down the stairs we got to the platform waiting for the next train, I glanced at a clock which indicated that it was 3 minutes until the next train.
Taking my eyes off the clock I look at Jack who was looking around the empty space, ignoring everything around him.

- Let's sit down.
- (nod)
Taking a few steps we arrive to some steel benches and we sit down, I take out my cell phone and start checking the notifications, giving a slight glance to jack, I see him scribbling something in a small notebook.
- What are you doing? -I ask curiously.
- Secret," he replied briefly as he put the notebook in one of the inside pockets of his coat.
- For God's sake, you can't be so taciturn, you know, you're going to an academy, if you don't talk they'll see you as an anti-social weirdo, you know.
- Got it," he replied briefly.
- That's what I'm talking about, I really don't know how you're going to survive in the academy with that anti-social attitude.
- I can't help it.
- Well, at least you said four words, at least it's a start," I sighed as I looked away from him and looked at my watch again.
Only 1 minute before the arrival of the train, the station started to fill up with people in different clothes, being the formal clothes the majority.
- Come on, we have to get closer to the train -I said without looking at Jack.
Approaching the crowded platform, feeling a bad premonition I turn around only to see not Jack but a human wall in his place.
- Jack! -I shout as I try to break through.
Unsuccessful in getting through, I start pushing, trying to find an empty space to pass through.
- The train has arrived at the station, the train has arrived at the station," repeated a mechanical voice.
Taking the voice as a signal, everyone begins to board the train as I am pushed inside as if I were a log being dragged in a river.
