《The Trash Savior》


 Prologue

    <div>


    ''Whaaa!!!!!'', I screamed as I fell down my bed with a violent thump.


    It felt like my heart stopped, my breathing is erratic, and I am sweating profusely. I touch my face, my teeth and my nails and sigh in relief.


    ''So, it was a nightmare, huh''


    It seems like I just woke up from my worst nightmare ever. My nails were pulled out, my ear was cut and my teeth were broken. I don''t really remember what was the reason for all these terrible things to happen. Dreams are like that after all. What I remember though is the terror, the terror I faced in this nightmare.This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.


    ''Shivank, you awake?? Brush your teeth quickly and come to eat breakfast. You shouldn''t make a habit of missing it.''


    ''Yeah mom, I will be ready in a jiffy.''


    I got ready and went to eat breakfast.


    ''What is the breakfast today?''


    ''Poha... now come and eat quickly''


    ''Poha? Again?? Mom, make something more delicious.''


    ''Huh, but you said last week to make Poha.''


    ''Hmmm, I did? Can''t remember though. Well anyway, I have eaten my share, I am off to school.''


    ''Okay, your cycle has been repaired, it''s in the garage.''


    ''Okay Mom, love you. I am off.''


    ''Don''t go very fast okay. Take care.''


    I ride the cycle out of my house to the school..... when it suddenly hits me, where is my school?

 Ch 1 : A system and some sealed memories

    Where is my school? where the hell it is!! Just as I was cursing my brain to get its shit together, I heard a voice.


    ''Hi Shivank!! Early to school today, huh...''


    ''Oh hi Ash. It seems like you are early today too.''


    ''Well, yeah. Today is Monday after all, and I have class duties on Monday. Nobody volunteered, so the teacher chose me. Being a model student sucks.''


    ''Certainly, it''s hard to imagine how can you anyone work so hard for classwork.''


    ''Well, I dunno. As far as I remember I was always praised by my teachers and it felt good, so I just ended up becoming a model student. Anyway, let''s race to your school. Whoever comes last owes a treat to the winner.''


    And with this Ash sped up. So, I ended up following him.


    Suddenly Ash slowed down and screamed.


    ''Hooray!! Today, it''s my win. You owe me a treat.''


    I caught up with him with a sigh. ''Yeah sure, my treat this evening.''Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    I also slowed down. I entered the school''s gate when I noticed Ash wasn''t following me.


    ''Hey Ash, where are you going?''


    ''Uhh... To my school...''


    And suddenly it clicks to me, he is at a different school after all. ''Oh... Yes. Don''t bunk the school okay.'', I say in an awkward attempt to follow up on my conversation.


    ''Hmmm, what are you saying? I am a model kid, remember?''


    ''Yeah yeah, I know. Okay, Bye.''


    ''Bye.''


    I parked my cycle to go to my class. But again, where is my class?


    I was just standing there when suddenly someone called me.


    ''Hey Shivank! What are you gazing at? Come on, let''s go to class.''


    ''It was delinquent type kid with spiked hair, and wasn''t wearing his clothes properly.'' He puts his hands on my shoulder.


    I instinctively threw his shoulder away. ''Who are you??''


    ''Hmm.. Come on, you are acting funny. I am your best buddy.''


    [Friend... Him??] I thought. I shook my thought and followed up on the conversation. ''Yeah of-course, I was just kidding, just a practical joke.''


    Suddenly, his face became scary. ''You sure have got some guts playing a practical joke on me.''


    Instinctively, I apologized. It was weird, I felt like I was suffocating... as if subconsciously I was afraid of him!!


    I just followed him to the class, afraid to say anything. As I reached the class, the scary-looking delinquent shouted.


    ''Hey Stephen, you have got guts coming to the class after what happened yesterday.''


    His face was bruised and then suddenly something shook in my heart. My eyes went blur.


    And suddenly a notification appeared.
