Growing up is meant to bring pain to the limbs, a rising skeletal frame reaching for the stars, it is not a problem for me. A leap from fourteen to fifteen such a valley to dive over and yet there are so many canyons to tackle before I can even reach eighteen. Pain holds with all the responsibilities that are dropping onto me. One by one, I think I have reached capacity, but another life lesson springs its surprise onto me. Adulthood is not a thing to look forwards too. There are far more rules and lot less freedom.
School has me enslaved now.
Captured by its long hours and tedious projects, forced to partner with a ruin of a friendship. This whole training the knowledge thing really loves to wind me up. Not a day in that school is an enjoyable one, every minute drags longer than the rest and now I must spend my free hours contributing to its work and with him…
It has been a long time since I have hung out with Fantom, a friend that I so easily drifted from. Maybe because of his track to the training centre or this journey to adulthood just loves tearing up my relationships. I have been in a deficit of friends lately, it must just be one of those pains of growing up.
The evening sun is enough for a reading light at the docks and the hour of the day gives enough peace for work to be done. An experiment of buoyancy, what can hold the weight of a wooden figure and what cannot? Swimming trunks are at the ready for when I dive in and retrieve the sinking apparatus. This practical module of the project is one to look forwards to, I dread the day that I must sit in that stuffy classroom and write it all up.
”It is about time you arrived!” I have been here since the school bell rang, time passes quickly by the shoreline, Fantom is not late but it is easy to take a dig at him after all this time. ”I have set some of it up, I suppose we can get this over and done with?” Being in his company used to be a part of my free time, now it is like a burden. Unsourced grudges must hold tight when growing up.Dars
