"Fenna! Get up! It' time for school."
Fenna yawned.
It was a morning Monday, and it was 6:40AM.
I always have to get up so early on school days... what a bummer.
She stretched her arms and got off the bed, hearing her mother sobbing.
"Mom?"
"Babe I always forget, it's not the same anymore without-"
"Calm down." She heard her father's voice. "It' normal."
She shivered, changed quickly, grabbed an apple and ran outside the house.
Her school was just behind her block, so it wasn't so far away. She has a Math test today, so she couldn't arrive late.
Be quick Fen!
She started running.

She was near school now. She turned a corner and ran against a dark man. "Ugh!" She fell with the back of her head.
It hurts... she froze. But not as much as it should.
"Mind your surroundings, child." The man spoke. "Or Pheraps, you'd prefer I arrange a more... permanent lesson?"
Fenna gasped "what?"
"I know your passions, Little one." He whispered. "But I know you can't get good at them."
Fenna sighed in relief "are you talking about chess?!" She asked excitedly. The man nodded. "Really! Dude- I-I love that game! ...I'm not good at playing it, but I really want to learn!"
"Is that truly?"
"Yes!" Fenna squeaked
"We'll you've came across the right person. Call me En Passant." The man took Fenna's hand and kissed it as of she was a royal queen.
Ew! Saliva!
"Come with me, and I'll teach you everything you need to know about chess."
Fenna sighed "I have a test at school though-"
"Does that truly outweigh your calculated objectives?"
Fenna squeezed her eyes. En Passant's way of speaking was weird.
"No" she answered in the end, and walked behind En Passant.
