I looked down to the ground, and I thought to myself as I scratched my head, “This whole day is confusing and tiring. It’s just one thing on top of another. What is the principal doing here, and why did Jane follow me? Why did it have to be that this path led to Crystal High? I didn’t want to come here again after that note written in blood I saw last night.”

“Why are you late for your classes?” I heard the principal ask.

Jane snapped her head toward me as her eyes widened, and she asked, “You go to Crystal High?!”

I mumbled a, “Yeah…” in response. I didn’t feel good all of a sudden. My head started to get real light headed, and my vision started to go blurry. I looked at Jane, and I saw her mouth moving but no sound came out. I gave a confused look, but I couldn’t say anything. My mouth wouldn’t move. Suddenly, I was no longer looking at Jane, and I was looking at the cloudy sky. I’m just so tired. Emotionally and physically, I feel like I’m bogged down. I eventually just closed my eyes as I saw blurry figures look over me. I just wanted to hide away from everything. I want to find a different reality. All of the constant physical and emotional abuse I go through on a daily basis is so hard to handle, and I don’t know how I can handle it without the solid foundation of my parents. I wish I lived in a world where everyone didn’t have a power. I feel like it would be so much simpler, and people wouldn’t emotionally abuse others over things that the other person can’t control. I don’t want to fight for my place in this world anymore. I just want to go away and live alone. I thought about all the other sagarus then, and I thought about what would happen to them. I thought about what all the past, current, and future sagarus and low levels have to go through, and it isn’t any worse than what I have been through. I have to continue this journey for them. This is bigger than just me! I felt a wave of anger wash over me as I thought about the actions people take to belittle people that they perceive lower than themselves. I hate the people that mutilated my parents. I hate this abusive system! I will change this system for the better, not for me, but the hundreds of thousands low levels and sagarus after me!

I woke up in one of the medical beds I was in yesterday with a new found resolve inside me. I instinctively tried to get up from the bed only find out that I was held in restraints. There were burn marks on the bed I was laying in just like the floor last night. What’s the reason behind those marks? I looked around the room, and I didn’t see anyone in the room around me. “Uhh…Hello?” I asked out in the empty room.

“Oh, you’re awake!” I heard a voice come from behind my bed.

I heard some footsteps come around to the side of my bed, and I saw that it was the principal. “Why am I in restraints?” I asked him.

He ignored me and told me, “You’re an interesting guy. Do you know that? So many things revolve around you, and you don’t even seem to realize it sometimes. It really is quite fun to watch most of the time. Don’t worry about that Jane girl. She is waiting outside to talk with you. Apparently, she is really excited that she knows someone that got into Crystal High.”

Confused, I asked him, “What are you talking about?”

He ignored me yet again, and he asked me, “Tell me, why were you late today? Dr. Trey said he didn’t see anything wrong with you aside from extreme exhaustion, and you don’t seem to be the type of person to miss without a good reason. You also had clothes and toiletries in your school bag. Are you running away from your home?”

I sat in silence for a minute, deciding on whether I can trust the principal or not, and I finally came to a conclusion. I looked up into the enlarged eyes of the principal due to his glasses and asked him, “Is it possible for Mr. Grey to come here? I’ll feel better if he is here.”

I felt that if Mr. Grey was here, I would be able to talk about what happened last night more easily. For some reason, I feel as if he and I are a lot alike, and he has my best interests in heart. It’s a different feeling from all the other teachers I have had in the past. He may be scary and mysterious, but there is something about him…I can relate to. The principal gave a warm smile, and he looked at his watch, “Let’s see he shouldn’t have a class at this time.” His glasses grew white, and he said, “There he is. Mr. Grey may you please come to the medical room as fast as you can please? Thank you.”

I gave a confused look, and the principal giggled at my gaze. He said, “It’s how I look through all of my crystals in the school. My glasses is like a computer screen, and I can lookat all my crystals and communicate through the crystals with them. It really is useful for being a principal.”

Mr. Grey then walked through the door of the medical room, and the principal greeted him saying, “Ah, there you are! Thank you for coming here on such short notice, but I think you will be interested in what one of you students has to say.”

He looked at me with his one eye, and he told me in his melancholic voice, “You missed class. You have one day to do the make-up work before it becomes a zero.”

The principal chimed in with his chipper voice, and told him, “Now, now, Mr. Grey…Let the poor boy talk.” He looked back at me and said, “Go ahead son. Tell us what happened.”

I proceeded to recount the events of the past twenty-four hours to them. Mr. Grey’s face remained unchanged while the principal’s twisted in horror. I broke down recounting how my parents were mutilated, and the principal put his hand on my head to comfort me as he said some soothing words. I told them about the note on the wall, the dream I had that night, the burn marks on the floor of the living room, the landlord kicking me out, and the chase had occurred that morning. I told them everything. I wonder what they will do about it? Will they do anything about it? I’m just a sagaru after all…
