First Hellos and Last Goodbyes

Damn alarm clock

A/N: this is my first fanfic so it's going to be shaky. Criticism would most definitely be helpful!! Thank you and hopefully enjoy what I've written so far!

September 3rd 2018, Monday

My eyes creeped awake as the sun began to peak through my dreary room as I woke, I reached for my alarm realizing I had woken up 2 minutes before my alarm was going to start an explosion. Wiping the sleep off my eyes I got up half way, then rolled over to the other side and went back to sleep again. Another 2 minutes went
by.....REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE my alarm screeched as I jolted back awake.
"GAHHH" I yelled back.

6:05 huh? I guess it's time to kick it into gear since I need to get to the first bus stop at 6:44 and the second and 6:50.

Finally I decided to wake up and go.

Placing my feet on the cold hard wood floor I shifted my weight and lifted my upper half, I stood there for a good 2 seconds forgetting I had school I walked back over to my bed I fell back asleep.

Nah I'll get up later. I thought hugging my covers as I drifted into an anxious sleep.

________________________________

when I finally got up from my bed it was 6:37 and I needed to get to the bottom of the mountain at 6:44 so, placed my feet back on the hard wood floor. I trudged my way into the restroom. I scuffed and limped my way to the door, the restroom was lavish but dark and dreary like the entire mansion. The house stood  eerily silent. Since my obnoxious family was out for some "underground business."

My steps making a pitter patter, I walked over to the even colder tile floor. I had arrived at the bathroom to get at least some what decent looking. I looked up at my silver, shaggy and long hair, ruffling my hand through the strands, I thought to myself, does this hair make me look like a grandpa? Yes I look like a 16 year old grandpa seems legit. Makes sense.
I got a hair brush, tooth brush and some gel and got semi ready for the day. Our school has no uniforms at least so I think I just went in my pj's. No point on getting dressed takes too much time and effort.

I was wearing a purple hoodie and grey sweat pants, comfortable and a bit classy.

________________________________

I'll be starting high school in jr. year, the middle of the 4 years of your high school career. My father told me I'll have to attend school because if I where to get a job or blend in normal society I would need proper education and at least a high school diploma. I'm joining in jr.. year because that's where I take the SAT and ACT's. Since I already know a lot I'm only going to take the tests and learn some more knowledge along the way.

Spoiler alert... I forgot every thing.

The only thing that's keeping me from wanting to go is that, kids are obnoxious and I don't have time. Plus waking up is such a hassle. I've had some experience in the school field since I had attended in 4-8th grade. but I missed almost every day. And in 5th grade some kid got on my nerves and let's just say one less kid was at recess the next day....

________________________________

I wasn't sure if getting a high school diploma was really necessary. But I wanted to carry my own life instead of what my parents wanted, so In order to do so I would need an education. Though my family thinks I'm going to school for their wishes. But no I'm doing what I want I don't care about a multi million business opportunity when I can do things on my own the way I want it.

A few moments passed and I had arrived at was at the first stop.

Though I was 2 minutes late, I was able to get on the bus on time (since our house has "tours" I'm able to hitch a ride to the school.)

When I got the the real bus stop for my school, I had forgotten the name of it so, I stood there at the stop waiting for someone to arrive, so I could ask what it was.

The air surrounding was warm but colder than summer of course, the atmosphere was dry since the change of seasons. I looked down at the ground, I shifted my weight to my other leg as you would do when waiting.

I looked up, down the street until  I noticed a silhouette. The shape had abnormally spiky hair and the height of this figure was only 2 inches shorter than my own. At least from what I could see.

The energetic figure stood waving their hands in the air as to say hello to someone. I looked up and hesitantly waved back. Then I noticed another figure right behind me.  the other from far away looked almost like a girl, with shortish hair and bright blond locks. And I noticed he or she was wearing a tunic of some sort that kinda made him or her look like a cultist.

I stepped sideways and looked away as I rubbed my face in embarrassment.

The bus came along with a loud screech for a stop and blinding headlights. I was able to get the name of the school I was attending from the side of the bus I read,"The Hunter Associations School for Academics" or T.H.A.S.A for short kinda a mouth full but at least they have an acronym.

Stepping on the bus I grabbed the rail and brought myself up, making eye contact with the driver I forced a smile and said hello. I got no response so I slugged my way to the middle of the bus next to the window since, the bus was pretty much vacant.

As People where loading in, I took a deep breath, and pulled out my ear buds from my black back pack. My favorite song was on so I was hoping to get no interruptions.

"Hey can I sit here?" A mysterious voice spoke out from next to me.

I was listening to my music so I couldn't hear he set his hand on my shoulder and I jumped.

"Oh! Uh sure I guess...." I squeaked out still a little surprise from the sudden human interaction I wasn't a custom to.

"So what you listening to?" The boy said inquisitively, as he slid his back pack under the seat and sat down.

"Um... uh things" I spoke but was too nervous to share my interests with someone. And I was unsure why someone would initiate conversation with me in the first place.

He turned around and told me his name.

"My name is Gon Freecs you?"

"My name is Killua," I replied. Not saying my last name since I don't want kids to find out what family I belong to. If they where to find out I'm sure I wouldn't be able to attend that school, or I might get special treatment from the higher ups.

Just as I was getting more lost in thought the spiky haired boy spoke again.

"Hey why did you walk away when I waved to you at the bus stop?"

"You waved to me? I thought you where waving to the person behind me," I spoke out surprised but happy that someone waved to me.

"Oh haha, that explains why you looked so embarrassed." "You new here?"

"Yeah I just got here, I'm new to the high school thing," I was interrupted by the bus coming to an abrupt stop.

I looked outside and noticed a large looking school. The building was in York new so it kinda looked like what I thought a university would look like. With modern architecture and intricate brick work and window placement.

Gon got out of his seat and I followed.
