The Island Chapter 6(3)

Mid-Town High school, 2017
Arthur's School
“What a show-off? All he cares is about making himself to be the most talented people in our school, and shows how good is he in that stupid drum!” “Yeah I mean, everyone should be humble at least, there are tons of far more outstanding drummer then him.” “Yeah, I don’t like his music, it’s too noisy.” “If he’s that good, why isn’t he in Barkley right now ha ha.” Arthur sit on the toilet, while listening to his classmate talking about him in the restroom. By attending so many events on school and other places. The attitude of his classmate turns from admire in the beginning to jealous and to hate in the end. For Arthur, all he wants to do is performed his ideal music to everyone and wish they can understand him, but unfortunately, things did not go very well in his wish. After his classmate walked away, several tears coming down from Arthur’s face. Suddenly another person enters the toilet. “Arthur? Are you there?” It was Owen’ s voice. “Just leave me alone Owen! You are here to mocking me too? Just like the others?” Arthur shouted. “No, I’m here to see if you’re alright Arthur, I heard the boys said and I also saw you walked into this toilet 10 minutes ago.” “Well now you see, I’m not alright, not at all!” Arthur keep crying. “Hey, no one’s perfect alright? The other students have something they’re good at and you have something you’re good at, and the most important part it that your ability is unique and different from the other, it is those abilities made who you are today, not those classmates. Owen said to Arthur: Listen to me, Arthur. You are a very talented, smart and a kind friend . But sometimes someone with that characteristic isn’t always a good thing, it might be a curse to let most of the mediocre people to hate you just because you’re better then them. But don’t let them be the one who breaks you Arthur, let them be the one who inspires you into the higher level. When you can do that, you’re already won.” Arthur stopped crying and walks out from the toilet. Owen took his hand out to Arthur: “Never let them defeat you okay?” Arthur looked at Owen, dry out his tears and hold Owen’s hand: “NEVER!”
