The Journey To An Unknown Destination

Chris took a deep breath and let it out. "Well, it's nothing much, to be honest." He explained, "I just want you to help me with a few little things." Emily looked at him seriously, tapping her pen on the table, waiting for him to begin with the actual part. "So, the first thing I want you to do for me is... Teach me how to drive." Hearing this, Emily nearly choked, "Excuse me, mister, you clearly know that you are not of age." Chris rubbed his head, "Well, yeah, but it won't hurt to at least teach me, right?" Emily pondered over it for a while. "Well, I can teach you. I have some busy days ahead, I'll think. Move on to the next demand."

Chris further stated, "Next, I would like to ask you... to register me for the gym you go to as well." He looked at her with an innocent smile. "Why do you want to go to the gym?" She asked, tilting her head. Chris thought for a while, "Why do you go to a gym for?" Emily glared at him. "I'm just kidding, don't be mad." He rubbed his head in discomfort, "I also want to be fit like the other boys, especially like Cyril."

Emily twitched her eyes. "Cyril?" She asked. "Hah, you don't know? He has to be the toughest, most fittest guy on Earth!" Chris blurted out, "Ok, I am exaggerating. But he is the toughest guy in the entire GCA. Can't believe you haven't heard of him." He laughed. Emily nodded her head lightly. "Isn't Aiden the popular guy at present?" Emily questioned with some interest. "Wow. You really live under a rock." He chuckled, "Allow me to tell you the interesting story of the history between Aiden and Cyril, from the beginning." He said, sitting up straight. Emily left everything and turned towards Chris, "Go on."

Then, Chris started his story. "In the first term of college, the two were in separate classes, as they are today as well. They didn't know each other, neither were any of them popular. They were just normal students. But, very soon, they started to gain popularity, primarily because of their looks. As the first term ended, and the results came out, they both got an A+ grade. So, now they became more famous, as they had both brains and looks. After that, when the month of sports arrived, the two participated actively and were some amazing athletes. Another point for fame. Then, they came head to head in the 100m sprint. Forget the others, they were way behind them. Aiden and Cyril ran with all their might, surprisingly, they crossed the finish line at the same time! To decide the winner, the coach made the two run again. And still a tie! Another round, tie! The entire Golden Crown Academy was in shock. At this point, they were frustrated, moreover, both of them were placed first, which lead to the first spark of hatred between them. Days after days, they would practice hard, not only in studies but also in games. They made teams in basketball and football, and would compete with each other often. As they were totally equal in studies and looks, it all came down to sports. Then, you might be thinking, what's the big deal in that, they are probably taking it too far. Well, here's what further increased their rivalry. One day, not long ago, Cyril challenged Aiden to the 100m sprint! When the day came, the entire college gathered to see the final result, who is the actual winner? The race started, the both ran with all the strength they had, and guess what, who won? Cyril! By a complete one meter! He was extremely happy, as the crowd cheered. On the other hand, Aiden was quite embarrassed as he was quite confident in himself. But he lost in front the entire college. What further made him angry was that Cyril spread the news of the competition beforehand, causing the entire college to gather for the event. If Aiden had lost without this whole crowd, he wouldn't have cared. Plus, Cyril got a little carried away with his happiness. Anyways, they have quite a history now and now they don't even look at each other. Story end."

After this extremely long history, Chris's mouth was dry. "That was too dramatic, but interesting." Emily commented as she rubbed her chin, nodding. "Ok, that's more than enough. I'll be going now. Don't forget what I requested." He gave a little laugh and went away. All this made Emily question her existence. Where was she all this time? How come she never knew? It was really weird and strange. Well, I know now. Emily was quite shocked at this whole story. There isn't much she can do now, as 10 precious minutes were wasted in this entire story. She suddenly remembered her maths homework and quickly started doing it. Then, she ate dinner and went to bed for the busy day ahead. The first practice day of sports.
