Endless Pain. Chapter 1. Page 1: The First Day

Have you ever experienced pain so deep to the point where you hate everything? Pain so deep that it has become addictive? Within me, emotions such as love, kindness and joy have been destroyed years ago. The only emotions left within me are hate, anger and sorrow.

My pain is endless.

My name is Nilos, no second name and that's because I have no family. I am 16 years old with white hair, and pale skin about 176cm tall and a weight of 70kg.

After 4 years of living in China, I have returned to Kyoto and today is the day I start high school here.

What only one other person knows is that being here brings me endless pain.

Looking at my phone the time is 7 am, in 1 hour I need to be in school to start my first day. I hate this town. I hoped I would never have to see this place for the rest of my life.

I get out of bed and head for the bathroom to brush my teeth and do my hair getting ready for the day.

I get my uniform from my closet and quickly change into it. Now that's done I check my phone to see that it's 7:27 am.

I make my way to the kitchen, open the fridge and pick up a protein bar which I am planning on eating on the way to school.

I put on my shoes, open the door and leave my one-room apartment. I live on the fifth floor, for people's convenience, this apartment complex does have an elevator. Unfortunately, I have loud neighbours to be exact, the next room to my right houses two college female students which means that they are older than me. It has been 2 weeks since I moved here and I am already sick from them partying almost every night till early morning hours, *sigh* it is what it is.

I make my way to the elevator press for the elevator to come and wait...in the meantime, I can hear a door opening and closing behind me. I can hear footsteps approaching...the sound of footsteps stopping. I tilt my head slightly to the right. I see a woman with brown hair down to her shoulders, green eyes and dressed in a suit reading something on her phone. She must be in her mid-20s heading for work I presume.

"Uhmm can I help you?" The lady notices my gaze.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable," I answering her with a humble tone.

"It's fine. You are the new neighbour that moved in right?" She is asking me with a polite smile.

"I am. My name is Nilos, it is a pleasure to meet you." I shake her hand and try to smile politely which is easier said than done.

The Elevator finally arrives and we both enter the empty elevator.

"It's nice to meet you, Nilos. My name is Katherine Neeson." She introduces herself politely.

The Elevator has now reached the ground floor and we both walk out of the building and part ways.

"See you some other time." Katherine waves her hand.

"Sure, have a good day at work," I reply with a bleak expression as in truth I do not care if I see her or not.

I make my way to school reading news on my phone while I am doing so.

It's 7:39 am and the walk to school is approximately 10 minutes leaving me with 11 minutes before classes start.

I need to pay a visit to the teacher's lounge to pick up my timetable and to meet with my homeroom teacher.

I am just slightly under 5 minutes away from my new school. I can also tell that I am approaching the school closer and closer by the increasing number of students that I see with each moment.

I am walking reading up on the news and out of the blue I can hear a loud voice behind me.

"WATCH OUT!"

Before I have a chance to turn around to see what is going on a girl is bumping into me knocking her down instead of me.

The Girl is about 165cm, with long brown hair and blue eyes in most people's minds, she must be very attractive.

"Ow Ow...I'm sorry about that."

"It's fine, don't worry about it." I am extending my hand to help her up.

She is grabbing my hand, I am pulling her up from the ground. I am now noticing that she is also wearing the same uniform as I do.

"Are you okay?" I am asking the girl.

She begins to smile. "I am fine, thank you for helping me up."

"Are you also a student from K High? I have never seen you before."

"That's because today is my first day at K High."

"Oh, I see! Would you like to walk together then?" She is kindly asking.

"Sure. Let's get going."

Based on the first encounter I can tell that she is kind-hearted even though she was the one who was knocked down, she showed more concern for me than herself.

I also hypothesise that she has little to no friends at this school and the reason why I come to this conclusion is that all the students that are walking to school are doing so with friends whereas she was all by herself of course that doesn't mean anything at first, but what I also feel strange is the amount of enthusiasm she has just by walking together with me, me a stranger mind due.

"By the way what's your name?"

I turn my head to face her. "My name is Nilos."

"Nilos, that's an interesting name." She is slightly giggling. I don't know if I should feel offended.

"My name is Silvia Winters. My parents are both from America but my dad got a job here 3 years ago and we have moved here since then."

"May I ask how old you are, Nilos?" This girl...she is eager to learn more and more from me, is it because she wants to be friends with me? If that's the case then it will be a huge letdown for her because I will no longer accept any friendship or any other form of affection from anybody...I won't make the same mistake as I did back then.

"Uhmm...Nilos? Are you okay?"

"Sorry, I was lost in thought. I am 16."

"Oh cool! I am also 16 which means we are in the same year group." She is saying that with such a joyous smile most people couldn't tell that she is miserable inside hiding her dark self deep within for no one to see. Despite her kind-hearted nature, she is indeed hiding something.

"I guess so." With that, we then arrive at K High School.

The school has a front gate where all the students and teachers get in and out with 2 security guards responsible for the safety of the students.

"Nilos what do you think of the school?"

"It's not bad I guess."

"You are not much of a talker. Hahahaha."

"....."

"Nilos, do you know where your classroom is?" She is asking me with anticipation.

"No, not yet. I need to get to the teacher's lounge first."

"Ahh, I see. Shall I lead the way?"

Once again she is offering me her help with such a kind facade just what is she hiding?

"Sure please do." Whatever she's hiding I have nothing to do with it.

We are passing through the school gates and we are heading inside the building.

Inside the school, Silvia is showing me the way to the teacher's lounge.

"Nilos, this is the teacher's lounge. I have to get to my class, see you ."

"Thank you."

I knock on the teacher's lounge door.

"Come in please." A woman is answering behind the door.

I slide the door open and close it behind me.

"You must be the new student Nilos." A woman with glasses, with brown long hair dressed in a suit is speaking to me.

"Indeed a pleasure to meet you."

"Good Morning Nilos, my name is Ms Nakata and I am your homeroom teacher. It's nice to meet you." We are shaking hands.

"Here is your timetable for the year."

"Thank you."

"Okay, Nilos shall we get going? Class is about to start."

"Of course."

I am following Ms Nakata to the class.

"This is it. Are you ready?"

"I am Ma'am."

"Oh, my "Ma'am" makes me feel so old." She is giggling, what a strange woman I must remark.

She slides the door open and I follow her inside the class.

"Good Morning everyone."

"Good morning Ms Nakata." All the students are greeting her.

"Before we begin today's lessons I have to make an important announcement."

Inside the class, there are 28 students and all of their gazes are directly aimed at me.

"This is our new student. Please introduce yourself."

I stare away from Ms Nakata and focus my gaze towards the students.

"Greetings. My name is Nilos. It's a pleasure to meet you." I hope that I didn't screw up my first impressions.

"He looks so cute!"

"I know right!"

"Do you think he's dating someone?!"

"Who knows, I hope he doesn't ."

Some of the girls are yelling out.

Ms Nakata claps her hands loudly. "Now then settle down! Let's see where you can sit..."

"Teacher here is a free seat!" A female voice is shouting from the very back.

"Perfect. Nilos please sit next to Silvia."

What a coincidence it turns out to be Silvia Winters.

I make my way over to the empty seat next to Silvia, on the way I notice hateful looks from the other girls toward Silvia.

"Bitch."

"I know I hate that bitch."

"He will soon realise how bad she is to be with."

The male students also seem to not be fond of Silvia.

Just what is with Silvia? Even her classmates hate her. Maybe her darkness originates from the verbal abuse she must receive regularly.

I am about halfway there when out of nothing a leg is being stretched out in front of me. I look to see whose leg it is...The leg belongs to a tall muscular boy with piercings on his face, and blonde and green short hair smirking at me. He looks like in his mid-20s rather than 16-17 years of age.

If he thinks that I am some small pushover he is greatly mistaken. I raise my right leg and step hard on the leg.

"Mmmm!" The boy is struggling to hold in his scream.

He is pulling the leg away with a painful and angry expression written all over his face.

I am continuing onwards. I know this will cause me trouble later on with him...sigh what a pain.

On the way I am also making out one person I hate more than anyone. Why did I have to meet her here?
