"Hey don't you think reed is a little weird ?!" Asked a girl named luna.

"He's indeed weird i never see him talk with people and he's part of the go home club"

Responded a guy named kane.

" well he's even running during lunch time "

Said a guy named samuel.

" that's not good, he shouldn't waste his youth going hard about things he should enjoy himself a little more ".

Reed while jugging : survive (pant), rise (pant),Go (pant). And with this i'm done with lunchtime training.

Reed sitting on the grass in the stadium : well,

Maybe my classmates will think I'm weird and all, but everyone in this world has a mission just like bees making honey and trees giving fruits, i want to be a president that's my end goal.

" hi there it's a rare sigh seeing you resting you either read books or train whenever i look at you " said a girl named Evelyn.

Reed : and why would you look at me?!!

Evelyn : (blushing) i just look at you coincidentally it's not like i keep looking at you or anything.

Reed : well, i don't really like wasting my time

Evelyn : and why is that ? Why do you push yourself everyday ?!

Reed : it's nothing special really...

Evelyn : even so i want to know ( loudly )

Reed : why would you care about that?!, we don't even know each other that well.

Evelyn : that's harsh ( loudly ), it's our second year together !!, Don't tell me you don't even know my name ?!

Reed : well of course i don't know, I'm a self centered person after all.

Evelyn : what ?!, how could you say that ?

Reed : ( smiling gently ) I'm just kidding of course i know you Evelyn, the queen bee with unparalleled beauty, a gold like long hair and blue eyes...

Evelyn : ( Embarrassed ) stop stop stooop, why are you saying that so nonchalantly?!

Reed : I'm just stating the facts you know !

Evelyn : you still didn't tell me why do you push yourself so much ?

Reed : ( sigh ) fine, as most of the people i have a goal i want to achieve, and I'm doing this for my subgoal.

Evelyn : (smiling) wow, you already marked what you wanna do huh, that's amazing i don't even know what i wanna do with my life.

Reed : that's good too, that means you have endless possibilities, don't rush it take your time and eventually it will come to you.

Evelyn : thank you reed, do you..(stuttering) Do you want to go somewhere after school ?

Reed : sorry i can't do that, i have a part time job.

Evelyn : i see, than maybe next time..

Reed : what ?, what's this ?, that's not important we gotta take you to the hospital immediately !

The old man : ( smiling ) I'm glad you turned out to be a kind soul, but please just leave me and run please before he comes he.. re

~ the old man passes right in front of reed ~

Reed : what's happening ?!!, seeing another person die in front of me ?!, why do i have to go through this hell again ?! ( panting ).

~ the grey dice shines brightly as it enters reed left hand and a dice tattoo appears in reed's hand~

Reed : what is this ?! It hurts..., i gotta stay calm and be stoic, let's reassess the situation,

This man here is already dead let's call the cops anonymously and then head home quickly.

~ Reed calling the cops in a cabin and then rushes home as he enter..

" reed you are a little late today did something happen ?" says a disabled woman sitting in a wheeling chair.

Reed : sorry aurora, there were more customers than usual.

Aurora : well, as long as you are okay everything is okay, the kids are sleeping and i left you some food at the table..., reed you know I'm your big sister you can tell me anytime if there's something bothering you, you always work hard for us and I'm grateful for that but don't push yourself too hard, okay?

Reed : thank you sis, but everything is okay really you don't have to worry about me.

Aurora : is that so, than I'm going to sleep good night.

Reed {monologue} : because of an unfortunate accident my sister lost her husband and became disabled, while having two little kids and no parents I'm her only person she can rely on, she's been working from home but that's nowhere near enough so i have to work two different jobs to help us get by, (sigh) i have to deliver news paper at 5 Am and wake up at 3 so i can train my body and brain.

~ reed eating his food and readying to take a bath ~

Reed : and now that I'm totally calm, what is this tattoo ? And what happened to the dice that the old man gave me,.... i hope he will have a proper funeral.

~ at the place of the old man, the police have gathered ~

" so what do you think of this detective samson ?" asked a man with a blue suit.
