Part 1
I bet people wished that I did not wake up at all, wishing that I was in some eternal sleep and everyone around me would be living in paradise dancing the night away as I slept forever, I have been a horrible person no matter what.
I sat on my bed contemplating where it all went wrong
I was a lousy and arrogant kid who believed himself to be the main character of whatever this slice of life, romance, or harem and as such.
I ended up being mean to this one girl and she ended up hooking up with an ex of mine who together show off to me to prove both of them were btter of without me
Then the friend of that girl ended up with a childhood friend of mine who used to be into me but ended up prefering them after I ignored and dismissed her efforts to flirt with this one aloof girl.
Then suddenly after years of showing off to my sister she considers me a moron and ends up with a girlfriend as well.
I feel like this is an insult since apparently to them they do not need me nor my presence.
This all happened when I was in middle school and currently it was my second year in high school.
I was called by a variety of names perv, scum, an enemy to all women and all that you find from mangas.
I ended up bullying a boy which landed me a one month suspension then ended with me staying home from school and my parents forgetting about me most of the time.
Those parents of mine began to ignore a failure like me and instead focused on cultivating my other siblings to be more better in academics and morality.
That one month suspension along with the cold shoulder and disappointed words being thrown at me allowed me to contemplate on all of this which lead me to regret those choices of mine and in the end I ended up alone.
I was isolated from the class being labelled as a bully and scumbag
I ended up making no friends and that took a toll on my self-confidence which ended with me not making any more friends or rather I began to have difficuly communicating with others everything became harder because I made it like that with my own past actions.
This is all happened that day.
Part 2
In the dining room, my own parents were talking to my sister, childhood friend, and my sister's girlfriend ignoring my presence and they all seem happy.
The sound of me going up the stairs and to my room remain unheard as they went on without worrying about me.
I sat there and remain in the comfort of my own devices
In the dinner table my sister and my childhood friend were the only one who noticed me back.
"Hmmp he is back..."
My sister mumbled to herself looking slightly annoyed hiding it to not hinder this atmosphere.
My own sister's girlfriend remained unaware along with my parents.
My childhood friend however who used to despise my arrogant and inconsiderate attitude have begun to notice my own isolation and troubles based on me always at my desk at my school never mingling just sitting there looking at my classmates with a bored look on my face.
She at first thought serves me right but lately she has seen my face not only of regret or shame but boredom, nervous, and having this sort of contempt for myself.
"Hey so how is he anyway."
She began to ask my mother.
"Who? Oh that good for nothing son of mine. Well latetly he has not retorted or argued with us just obeying and listening to us with no complaint."
My own mother began to have this concern look on her face.
"My eldest child...he is being distant lately"
"Leave him be he needs to understand the consquences of his own reckless and stupid actions."
"Yes you have a point dear but I can not help but worry about his behavior."
The words said by his mother sparked a sense of worry in her expression as she indeed found me odd now a days as I never once talked to anyone just replying only when necessary.
She has no idea why should she care about him despite what he did to her however deep down she knew that she can not just him just like that.
She is caring not as a human person she convinces herself yet she was grateful of how kind and charming he was before he became all bratty, cringey, and annoying.
Later that night as I was reading some manga there was a knock on the door
"Hey are you doing okay?"
That was the voice of my childhood friend...
What should I even say to her?
Well after all this time the way I treated and acted with her.
Knock Knock Knock
"Hey are you awake?"
Crap uhhhh think of something quick something good no wait it is a simple answer all you have to say is I am doing fine come on say it say it say it
"Tch you going to ignore me...sigh....if you are awake please answer cause if I found out you."
"I...I..I am.....ahem...I am doing fine."
I answered her yes i did it....my tone sounded a little bit low and I stuttered a little but I did it.
"Yeah okay good to know...."
I could hear her leave....she must be hating on me....only caring about me because of my mother.
I am so sorry mom I made you mad and let you down I am a horrible son to you...
I wanted to apologized to her but i lost the opportunity as she entered my sister's room
My sister, her girlfriend, and my childhood friend were having a sleepover together staying in my sister's room in which I doubt I am allowed to barge in or knock at her door...
Yet.....I clenched my hands and rose my arms slowly and was going to knock when...
Nevermind
I cowered out and retreated back to my room.
Early The Next Day
My younger sister went down with my childhood friend to grab a glass of water when they spot me by the front door having changed from my pajamas, showered and was wearing casual clothes with a backpack
They saw as I left without even noticed either of them Staring at my own back
Part 3
I walked to my grandfather's home in the early morning because I did not want anyone to see me leave wel even if I did leave they would not care at all in the slightest.
Well after all I grew distant with them all after that whole incident
The reason I went to my grandfather's place was because of something that happened few months after my suspension.
This was during the time when my parents were out on their dates and my sister was also on a date with her girlfriend.
I was envious but after a while I wondered if I get to be envious after all the women he used to have a connection with either good or bad are now living their best lives away from me or dissing me bad.
This was around that time when
Ding Dong!....DIng Dong!....Ding Dong!...Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong!
"Okay okay okay okay! I am coming so stop it whoever is out there!"
Mou do they even have to ring the doorbell many times after all I was coming to answer.
I opened the door and there stood my grandfather who was about in his late sixties and early seventhies despite that he looks strangely young with only a few wrinkles on his face.
Beside him was a middle age woman wearing a secretary outfit
"Hello there grandson.....may we come in?"
"Grandfather what are you doing here?"
"Let me in and we shall explain it to you."
"We?! What you mean and who is this chick with you?!"
"Ohhh allow me to introduce to you my secretary."
"It is nice to meet you, young master."
The secretary beside him made a bow to me, young master huh I will not lie I like the sound of that but I doubt I should be bossy with her so I would provoke her in anyway
"So may we come in."
"Of course come in."
"Thank you my boy."
The old man and his secretary went in and sat themselves side by side on the couch
My grandmother, his late wife passed on when she was fourty-three years old and since then grandfather has been hanging out with some women....I do not see him flirt with them and he did made me swear to not tell my parents.
Thank goodness I forgot about this for a while as it allowed my family to be in the dark about this.
My grandfather sat with a happy expression on his face and holding his cane as he sat.
I sat down across from him and then he began to spoke with a calm expression now
"You have gotten more respectful and kinder like before...I missed that about you when you were in elementary....what changed huh my grandson."
"Puberty i guess hehehe."
I gave out that reason because I was ashamed and embrassed about what happened with me so I decided to go along with this lie of mine but from the looks of his face he seems to have seen through it now
"Well then enough about you let's get down to business shall we."
"Yes we shall begin sir."
The midde aged secretary pulled out some documents from her bag and presented them to be on the table.
The moment I picked up this paper I knew what it is by the words that I first laid my eyes on.
"What is this inheritance?"
"Yes you catch on grandson."
I could not believe it but wait
"Don't you want to wait for mom, dad, and sister to come."
"Nah they have their own will but this one is for you as it is meant to be a secret from them.....also you seem to refer to them as your mother, father, and sister instead of...okay let's talk about the will of mine."
My grandfather saw that look in me and decided not to comment on it anymore.....thank you grandfather.
His own secretary had read the sections that were important
"In the event your grandfather dies, you would inherit his house as he considers this a gift to his eldest grandson."
I looked shocked and nearly got excited when a thought crossed my mind.
I put the paper down and looked at my grandfather
"Why are you giving this house to me and not my...."
"Why am I not giving my house to your mother and father or your sister huh is that correct well they are good folk and I do not trust them."
"What you mean grandfather?"
"Well that house of mine is special you see there is a doorway hidden by the back."
So yeah he offered me his house but I still kept wondering why and the only response he gave was "you need it!"
Even his secretary agreed that I need his house
I had some doubts but decided to not bring them out as I was tired of this.
Well after that talk he said his goodbyes and left then on the morning of one of the days of me being a first year high school student my grandfather died and recieved some money and things he cherished to my mom, dad, and my sister.
Meanwhile the ownership of his house with my signature was given to later that night by the secretary in secret
I did not have a chance to go since i was busy with school and I have been drowsy lately and ignoring excercise so a walk going to my grandfather' house was something I needed.
