This spring I went out into the big city to attend my first year of college. A new school. New apartment. New life. Starting tomorrow I was beginning anew as a college student worry free....Or so I thought.'</em><br/><br/>When he had first arrived here the sight of the city was frightening to him with so many people around that it his island which only supported around a few thousand of citizens paled in comparison to Tokyo with its many lights and sounds. He had never thought he would adjust to city life before school had started, thankfully to the guidance of his brother and much pep talking on the pros with little to no cons the college student accepted it wholeheartedly. The two brothers had spent the three days in a very routine pattern. In the morning it was to unpack the many boxes which belonged to him while trying to give enough room to actually live in. The afternoon was relaxation and goofing off as men did when bored, though it had not stopped them from indulging in drinking or some other buffoonery before heading off to complete the task. The time had flew by in an instant, and the words he wished he had not heard.<br/><br/><strong>"I have to leave bro. You're on your own from this day on."</strong>The elder brother spoke out as he glanced at his younger sibling who seemed to be brushing his teeth, yet there was a glazed over look of sleep that lingered in him. As much as he didn't want to leave him to fend for himself it was the only thing he could do since having responsibility back home.<strong>"What do you mean your leaving?"</strong>He questioned right as he spit out the toothpaste looking behind him to see his older sibling with a load of clean clothes with him. The young man already new the day had been at hand, but not so soon. They'd just put everything in place to make the college freshmen comfortable.<strong>"At least stay one more night."</strong>whining as the brother barely managed placed a firm hand atop his younger siblings hair.<strong>"Can't... spent to much time away from the wife as it is. Three days was the maximum. Remember?"</strong>There was silence before he could only nod; walking out of the bathroom. A small sigh of disappointment escaped his lips as his eyes wonder the small apartment he now was to call home.<br/><br/>Amethyst eyes stopped at the sliver in the wall. It bothered him just enough to look through it the night before, yet it had seemed to be filled in on the other side. As if covered by something.<em>'Its just your imagination. It gives your room character. Stop worrying..."</em>The eldest brother poked fun as he took looked and saw nothing. Sometimes however he swore he had felt the gaze someone from that hole. Just his nerves. He would chalk it up as. Just nerves. His name was Shōgo Nijima the middle child of a line of a mix of brothers and sisters. Both his mother and father had pushed him toward staying to help with the family business back home but instead he went to a technical school for art & computers.<strong>"Bye Sho-kun!"</strong>A slightly relieved brother spoke out as he left for home. It was suppose to be a secret, but Shōgo's brother had gotten engaged and was soon to be wed to his dream girl there was no wonder why he was so quick to rush off home when he had someone to look forward to seeing.<br/><br/>He waved as he put on his best smile as the door closed shut his entire attitude changed with him muttering a single word,<strong>"...Asshole." </strong>sighing out before he went to the window watching as he left for good. Shōgo wouldn't know when the next time he'd see his older brother, but the next time he did there would be some big changes in his life. Yes he had planned for some changes in his now bachelor lifestyle. They were simple and achievable with some handwork and luck. The first was to find himself a girlfriend; it didn't matter who it was as long as she was cute and could take his virginity it was fine. First he'd have to get through school. The idea of all those new faces scared him. What kind of girls would be there? What friends could he have? Would they like him or use him?. The adjustment to city life as a whole. This caused him to grab a cold beer from the fridge and proceed to drink it down; then another and so on until he was laying atop his futon in a drunken state. Shōgo started at the hole in the wall as he slipped off to take a nap.
