Chapter 3: Prologue: Part Two

Ah, I'm tired.

I could hear the subtle ringing of my alarm in the background.

Fuck, what time is it?

6:15 am.

Already...?

I pulled up my blanket. The cold air rushed in and I felt as if I had just jumped into an ice bath. My entire body quivered, I could feel the goosebumps rising all over my skin. My clothes, I need to get my clothes.

Putting on the white school shirt, the cold rough material sucked all of the heat from my body as I tucked it over my neck, pulling it down. I might as well have just worn a shirt made of ice instead, it would've been just as effective at warming me up.

Goddamit aren't clothes meant to make you warmer?

Eventually, I put on the rest of my uniform and began lethargically making my way out of my room. I opened my bedroom door and walked out into the hallway which was still practically pitch black. My eyes struggled to find anything to look at, it was so dark someone might have made the mistake that it was midnight.

After feeling the wall, I flicked on the hallway light and my eyes were viciously assaulted by the piercing rays of white that covered my vision.

Does life ever get better?

I don't understand, there's no point in me to be doing all this right?

Does everyone feel so miserable?

As I made my way toward the living room, I was greeted by a loud banging noise.

Fuck.

I jolted as a tense pain shot up from my toe.

"Hey Oliver, you're smart aren't you, how do you do this question?"

I looked down at the sheet of paper that the boy was showing me. It was a question from standard maths, or as most people called it, 'potato maths'. It was a pretty basic question, anyone with any knowledge of maths should be able to solve it.

"Uh, you have to get rid of the 'y' by finding it in terms of 'x' and then substituting it in."

"I don't get it."

I'm not sure how else I'm meant to explain it.

I grabbed a pen out of my blazer pocket and pulled his sheet of paper towards me. I clicked the pen and showed him my working out, step-by-step—with free verbal explanations on the side.

"Do you get it now?"

"Um..."

I see the issue here, there's too much to take in at once, if you don't have the fundamentals down, there's no way you'd be able to follow all of the steps.

"I think it'd be better to ask the teacher, I'm not really that good at teaching."

"Oh, I just thought that you were smart."

That's not really how it works.
