Another Like Me - Part I (CoTE x OC) ✔

Chapter 00 - Prologue

School usually isn't something I look forward to.

There are several teenagers, people of my age who actually look forward to going to school. Stuff like meeting their friends, getting to eat lunch together, going out shopping, or whiling away time at the arcade.

For some reason, these indulgences have not once been able to derail me from my path of absolute victory.

Middle school was boring. I wasn't a social butterfly to begin with. I didn't have many friends. To be very honest, I don't think I had any friends. 

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not a loner. In fact, it's much the opposite. I've had guys reach out to me almost all the time for help in various activities, ranging from academic tutoring to romantic advice. I've had several girls come up to me and confess under the seemingly-lucky oak tree my middle school had at its center. I've been fawned over by all girls in middle school, including seniors. But never have I once interacted with any of them. I didn't have anyone I could call a friend, no one I could openly talk to without mincing words.

Middle school wasn't fun. It was boring. I've always secured first place in both academics and physical ability. None of the tests ever posed a challenge to me. I could sit and read college textbooks in the middle of class of my first year of junior high, and the teacher would never say anything, because he knew I would anyways top the grade, whether I studied or not.

Nothing interested me anymore. School was boring. I'd rather sit at home and do my own self study for a bit. Until that got boring as well.

I was pretty much done with most university education by the time I entered high school. 

These thoughts were what pre-occupied my mind during the bus ride to my new high school, the Advanced Nurturing High School. A prestigious government institution boasting a 100% employment rate in fields of high interest, including Artificial Intelligence, Nanotech, and even in the sports field.

Maybe this school would pose a little bit more challenge to me.

Author's Note:

Hello there! So this is my first ever fanfic, and I hope you liked the premise! I'll try to stick as much as I can to the LN, but there are a few conversational changes that I wanna incorporate into the story cuz well, there's an OC now, so to make him fit into the storyline better.

I'll keep this one short, cuz no one likes reading A/N's. See ya next week. I appreciate any feedback anyone has, so please feel free to share. Thanks for reading!
