Chapter 19 - First day of school (I)

Author: Hello Ladies and Gentleman. Tomorrow is my first day of school fitting this chapter quite well. What that means is that I will not be able to update as often as it was until now. Additionally this is my last year in school so I have to put in a lot of effort to get good grades. Never the less I wish you a lot of fun with this chapter.

Today was Hermanns first day of school. Due to his habit of always running away or straying from groups he was taken to school by a caretaker as they wanted to prevent him from truanting on his first day.

But as many parents accompanied their children on the first day as all the new kids were still a bit anxious about not being able to see their parents for a long time while being in school it did not feel to bad or even embarrassing for him at all.

As the class started there was a tearful separation as the parents left their children at school and headed home. Before Hermann could leave the caretaker and go to class his caretaker held him back for a moment to give him good advice for his future.

Caretaker: "Kaiser, today is the day that you will start your real education. From now on you will stay in this building for a long time in your life. Today is beginning of something that will determine the rest of your future. So make sure to pay attention in class, get along with your classmates and take your fate into your own hands."

H: [Wow. This is what you expect from a six year old child? Since when do six year olds care about something that is further away than the time they already lived?]

Hermann remained silent and gave his caretaker a serious but questioning look.

Caretaker: "I know that what I said was had to understand. We, your 'family', simply want you to be a good boy for the time you are in school and pay attention. Although you could have skipped a few classes as you can already read, write and solve simple mathematical problems we still think that you should remain with your peers so that you could make friends for example and enjoy a childhood."

H: [Friends…. Who needs friends? They will only drag me down and hinder my future. I don't need friends to find happiness.]
