PKOTA) Chapter 1 Part 2

“Then let the wrinkles come!” I replied with a smile.

We walked to the kitchen, where I got the things for a vitamin shake out. This normally consisted of a bunch of veggies and fruits blended into a smoothie. It was not bad. I at least did not need to choke it down. But it was good for keeping me healthy, at least. I usually added extra strawberries to get rid of any bitter tastes. “Want one?”

“No thanks…” Momo shook her head. She always made a strange face when I offered her a smoothy. I think its because it has too many greens in it.

“I have been meaning to ask for a while now but why is your sword so big to begin with? You carry it around like it’s nothing.” Momo did bring up a good question. My strength has always been quite abnormal since I was young. My sword was about as tall as I was.

I stood about five foot eight and had silver hair that rained down past my shoulder to my mid-back. I was on the slender but not too skinny. I did not wish to look like I was starving myself, which I did not. In fact I ate quite a bit and have done so since I was young. My metabolism was way too fast. Combined with my constant workout since I normally had my sword attached to my hip when I was home, you can say I needed the extra calories.

When I was younger, and my father found out how strong I was, he had custom swords made for me, which were in a fantasy-like bastard sword style. Something you would see in an anime or video game. I had to carry mine on my hip sideways, or it would end up dragging on the ground. But I could easily swing it and was quite agile, so it was not a problem at all.

“Because I am too strong?” I replied with a tilt of my head. “I need something that gives a bit of weight or else its like I swinging a twig around.”

“I guess that makes sense. But still. You can walk around the house with that thing on your hip like it’s nothing. And you never knock anything over, to boot. It kind of amazes me.” Momo chuckled as she walked to the fridge and grabbed some milk. We were basically family, so she could come to my house any time she wanted to grab food. She had a key to the house as well.

There were not many people you could trust in life. Momo was someone I trusted very much. So, if my feelings about the strange weather are correct, I will be sure to do what I can to protect her. However, I am not sure why I feel as if something big is going to happen soon.

“Get cleaned up and get dressed we need to leave for school in an hour.” Momo was at the top of her class, believe it or not. At the same time, I was around the middle of my class. I liked my science and math classes, as well as my robotics class, but the others just bore me.

We went to a new private school that had recently opened a few years ago called The Royal Institute. A strange name for a school that had nothing to do with royalty. But it was a very good school for those who wished to actually learn. It was a school based on merits, which was sponsored by many top colleges.

“Let me go take a quick shower then.” I gulped down my smoothy and ran up stairs, turning and twisting my body as I did so my sword would not bump into anything. School was not bad but what I hated the most was I could not bring my sword. I’d get arrested walking down the street with it. It would be fine if it was a prop, but this was an actual weapon, and a sharp one at that.
