"Maverick!" a boy on his sixteens wearing black framed-glasses and a high school uniform came rushing to him in the neighborhoods.
The boy called
"Aren't you angry?" the boy asked with worry written all over his face.
"...Angry?... I don't know" He remained stoic and continued to walk through the empty neighborhood while the glasses boy just stared as his back until he dissapears from his sight
"what?" he muttered to himself. He just scoffed and walked away to mind his own business.

xx Apartment
He swiped a keycard to unlock his apartment and immediately went in was greeted by the dark in the apartment. The only thing he can hear is the clock ticking.
"lights"
the lights immediately turned on showing the simplest yet stylish interior of the room. A sound of a machine on wheels emerged through the room approaching him.
"Welcome back sir" the robot greeted. However, Maverick only nodded, removed his shoes and bag,shrugged his jacket off and put it on the arm of the robot and opened the fridge to reach for a bottle of water.
"How was school sir?"
The robot asked which he only replied with a sigh.
"It was alright."
He went to his room leaving the robot in the living room and walked towards the bathroom, unbuttoned his shirt and stared himself in the mirror. A cut on his abdomen and a bruise near his left eye and a cut on his lip were fresh
'If only I felt pain, I'd be happy'
He thought to himself, He quickly treated and bandaged himself, left and went to the living room
"Sir, your allowance had been deposited in your bank account"
The robot approached him and handed him a small squared device with a holographic screen displaying the transaction with the name of the depositor.
'Why? it's been 8 years'
"Is that so?.. Zeph, Great work"
He placed the device on the table and left the room leaving the robot cleaning the room by the vacuum on his feet.
"Rest well sir"
------------
He went to his computer with multiple screens programming codes. The only thing that can be heard is the sound of the keyboard, clicking of the mouse and the clock ticking. He checked the time and noticed how late it was and left the computer.
"Lights off"
He muttered and is about to head to his bed when something caught his eyes on the side desk. He grabbed it and fumbled through the pages until he came across the word that bothered him.
