1 Awake

In a room that is originally dark and had some sort of glowing toy shine to the roof of the room, lays a child of only eleven years.

A bunk bed in the room as the child is on the bottom side. The room has a desk and two dressers for each person.

Posters being posted as its PS3 games shown on the walls. Tomb Raider, Luigi's Mansion, Uncharted 1 and 2.

A small closet is shown on the side of the room as it fills with clothes.

Slight sunlight pours into the room as the window is left a little open from the curtains.

Through the silent snores and sometimes tugging of the bed-sheets, the door opens.

A young youth walks in a little tired and awake, scanning the bunk bed. As he walked the hard wooden floor at the bottom of each step thumping.

As creaks are heard from the old wood below, the young child still asleep hears the small noise but it doesn't bother with his sleep.

The sounds come closer and closer, until it stops. The youth then reaches out with his arm and shakes the child.

"Dante, Dante! Get up, you got school man."

"Mmmmmm f-five m-more minutes..."

The young youth then flicks Dante's ears twice waking Dante only to see his brother.

"Alright! I'm up, stop hitting me Diego!"

Dante pouted as he stared at Diego with annoyance.

"What else could have awakened you my prince?"

"A nice breakfast would have done well."

"Okay kiddo get cleaned up."

Diego rubs Dante's hair as he then walks and leaves the room, leaving Dante there annoyed.

Dante shortly forgets and starts his morning routine his mama taught him.

He went into the bathroom after leaving the room behind him. The bathroom was to the left as it was near.

Entering the bathroom, he takes off his clothes and puts on some hot water from the shower head. He usually liked it hot as it felt good against his body.

Making sure to use soap and washing the right places, he gets the shampoo and uses it on his hair. After that he uses the hair conditioner.

His mother told him that these would help make his hair look cooler for the ladies. After getting a towel from the tub as he dried his feet enough to walk on the tiled floor of the bathroom he gets in front of the mirror and wipes off the steam from the glass.

Seeing the reflection of a Hispanic kid with dark brown straight hair and piercing brown eyes.

Though his family is a mix between Mexican and Native at the same time he seems to have both features that creates his skin color almost in between copper and close to red.

After wiping the glass he decided to not brush his teeth at the moment as he still had not eaten breakfast. It was the most basic as he needed to do it. Sometimes he didn't want to do as it didn't make a difference in his day to day life.

That was until he started losing all his baby teeth, he became scared of the fact that he might never be able to chew again.

Fear is sometimes the drive to being productive, If you don't work you won't get money, if you don't get money you don't get food, if you don't get food you die.

After walking out of the bathroom he smells a familiar smell in the area. Smelling of eggs and those good beans that smelled almost across the whole house. The aroma seemed to have lured him in more and more into the small kitchen.

He decided to get some clothes before walking around the house, he got the clothes he came in with in the bathroom that he dropped and blocked most of his body with the towel that was around his waist.

He went into his bedroom and opened his dresser as he found a myriad of T-Shirts that awaited him, He decided to wear his skull T-Shirt which looked awesome, but he didn't really know the band behind the thing.

He put his dirty clothes and after putting on some underwear he decided to put the towel back where he found it.

He then left the room.

Passing by the guest bedroom which had one bed in the room and a closet with a dresser there.

Dante's sister used to live in the guest bedroom until she decided to move for college. He still doesn't really know which state she went to for university.

As he is walking down the pathway towards the kitchen the smell gets more and more strong.

It seemed his brother had cooked them both some breakfast burritos, Dante's simple favorite. His eyes shined as he eyed the burritos down.

He looked at the plates and saw that his brother had 2 while he had 1.

"How come I don't get two as well!"

"It's cause' I'm older then ya', here eat it."

He broke a little piece of the one he was currently eating.

"Ewww, probably has your bad breath on it wouldn't dare eat that."

"Whatever ya say sport."

As Dante and Diego dined and started getting ready for school they also saw the news station flashing.

They didn't pay attention as they had their own banter to flush out the sound.

The news was currently reporting on some new car accidents and robberies around the area.

Though an unexpected new thing happened. Many people were taken to hospitals last evening for an infection, It seemed it came from Cacao beans and Coffee beans as well.

They said it was some sort of fungal virus that was spreading through and was warning people from consumption of chocolate and coffee. It was said that more and more people were being taken in by the hour.

A ringing was heard from a cellphone in someone's pocket.

It seemed to be Diego's as he reached for his pocket and answered it.

"Diego online, who's this?"

"Oh, whats up Maddie how ya hangin' after last night."

"Yeah I know that party was sick, I hope to see you at school."

Diego then ended the phone call and continued eating.

"Who was that on the phone, your girlfriend?"

Dante said in a teasing manner.

"Doesn't matter what you say Lil Dante, I already told mom, and dad."

Dante just sat there frustrated but after the taste of the burrito it quickly subsided.

After breakfast ended the two decided to get ready for school.

Dante had his special red hoodie of spider man, and some jeans for the day. You could say he had fashion.

Diego himself just had his shirt on with a little spray paint of black on it as a design. He also wore some torn jeans as he had some converse on his feet at the moment.

"Don't forget you're backpack I don't want to get called by the front office just to get some stupid backpack you forgot."

"Okay!"

Dante went back into his room coming back with a dark backpack with no special features on it. It was just a normal kids backpack, though having one of Cars would be cool.

Diego had a backpack on, it was a white colored one with some red, and green on it.

"Come on"

Diego said as he is at the front door waiting for Dante to finish dressing up.

Dante also put on some red converses as his mother seemed to love buying them.

"Brother"

"Yeah?"

"What does porn mean?"

"..."

"Uh... It's not appropriate for your age, don't bring that up again dude."

As they were talking while Dante made his way to the door, Diego opened the door and started leaving with Dante trailing right behind him.

"Are we going on your motorcycle again?"

"No, we're walking"

"What! It's way too far!"

"Just kidding, hehe you fall for that stuff way too easily."

As they were walking around the front yard, a Black 48v is shown. It's quite cheap for the price as it only cost 640 dollars, It took a long time to save up for this bad boy, though maintenance is pretty hard for it.

"Okay get on the front, your arms are way too weak to handle this tough back. Put your hands on the handles alright?"

Diego puts Dante on the seat and Dante puts his hands on the handles and he scoots over for Diego to sit. Diego sits and puts on his helmet, though it was a low-end helmet, it was still one.

It didn't really cover the air, he didn't have one for Diego at the moment as he left his other one with his Girlfriend Maddie.

"Hang on tight alright?"

He put his hands on Dante's to the side of and started driving the motorcycle all the way to Whittier Elementary School. Starting from San Pedro and then taking a right on Gibson Blvd.

After making it all the way to the school he decides to say goodbye to Dante.

"Have a good day, Dante, make sure you do your work."

"I will be ok! Stop asking me!"

Diego then flicks Dante's forehead twice before getting on the Motorcycle and starts driving once more.

Dante just sighs and starts walking towards the school. He sees his group of friends and decides to join them himself.
