~~27th August 2019~~

A heavy sigh emitted from Phil as he stared out the window.

He rested his elbow against the car door, and his face against his hand. The clouds were rather dark today... never a great sign.

"How do you high school so far?" Phil looked over to his left side as the silence was broken by the young woman in the driver's seat. Her black hair was tied up in a ponytail and she shared Phil's green eyes.

"It sucks," Phil admitted, shifting his gaze back to the sky above. "The homework just keeps getting worse... at least in middle school, teachers usually did those survey things first before cutting straight to giving you homework on the first day."

"Well, it gets better in college at least," his older sister offered with a shrug. "And trust me, high school goes by fast. One minute I was a freshman just like you, and then woosh, that all flies by and you'll be wondering how you ever thought high school would never end."

"Try having that conversation with me after I graduate," Phil remarked dryly. "It doesn't work trying to tell me that while I'm still suffering here and you've already moved on, Vanessa."

"I suppose that's true enough," Vanessa remarked after a moment. She then pulled up in the parking lot to Riddle High School.

"You might want this," Vanessa stopped Phil once he opened up his door. Reaching for the glove compartment, she pulled out an umbrella and handed it to Phil. "It's supposed to rain later on."

"Damn, I was hoping it wouldn't," Phil sighed as he accepted the umbrella. "Oh well, I guess."

"Anyway, you know the drill, there are leftovers in the fridge," Vanessa mentioned as Phil stepped out of the vehicle. "I gotta work late tonight so I probably won't be back before you're asleep, so make sure you do your homework."

"Yeah, yeah, I got it," Phil muttered and stepped out of the vehicle. "Guess I'll see you tomorrow then."

Once Phil closed the car door and waved goodbye to Vanessa, she drove away and Phil turned towards the building.

It'd been a week since high school had started. It was quite unlike the simulation Phil experienced during his capture by Vizion... and he was still unsure if the real life version was better or worse. On one hand, the dream teachers talked seemingly forever, but on the other hand their real life counterparts assigned much more homework than he'd been anticipating.
