Chapter 1: Feeling Pressure

Ring,
Ring, Ring! The village bells rings to wake up the sleeping workers for
another early and boring day. The small streets were packed with children
playing games and adults bustling through. They all stop as they reach the
center of the village where a fountain was placed where it has a infinite
amount of water supply. No man ever knew, it was written in the scripture of Village
Wonders. As a chubby man, with a mustache that wears a ribbon on it saying Chief
of New Scapalon. ?Greeting fellow scapalonians, I? the village chief of
authority will like to welcome you the new season of summer where the Olympics
of Scapalon will be taking place in the Stadium of Honour? As the crowd
is still bustling and probably some of the villagers didn?t even hear him. ?You
may purchase tickets for the Scapalon Olympics in the Village Hall. Tickets are
worth 5 Nontars. Thank you, and have a great day!? Myself only a sixteen year
old knew that 5 Nontars was totally crazy, that?s so expensive. Most kids my
age would spend that in a second because they didn?t care about anything. I had
a mother and a father that took care of me and provided for me everyday. How
could I take 5 nontars out of their earnings? I would have to work for a month
and a half to save up for 5 nontars? if I were lucky. I really wanted to attend
this seasons Olympics maybe I could go around asking people for 1 nontar. No
they would never? I need someone, I need someone that will pay me 5 nontars and
I know that the Olympic tickets are so prestiges and rare they will be gone in
less then a week. Damn as I looked at the clock on one of New Scapalon?s
remarkable monument it was build hundreds and hundreds of years ago. I totally
lost track of time, I need to get to my studies.

Studies
were finally done as I stepped down the small building, I wouldn?t really
considered it a building in my opinion maybe not even a Study Unit It?s more
like a 3rd class home where adults can?t afford to much. Through my
studies I couldn?t get the fact that for the first time, I?m old enough to
attend the 99th Scapalon Olympics. But for the first time, the first
time that one of the biggest anniversary Olympics before it becomes the double
digits I could attend but I don?t have the nontars. I scurried on home when I
got to my house. Houses in New Scapalon weren?t normal as other villages and
nations New Scapalon is filled and doesn?t have enough room for around 30,000
houses so we build living centers where we can share rooms that could reduce
the land taken up. I had my head tilted down I didn?t even notice that my
friend was walking beside me as he starts nudging me ?Sal, SAL? I finally was
brought back to my real world. ?Hey?hey? sorry about that.? Sal replied. ?No
problem, we?re almost there.? Andy said. ?Almost where?? Sal puts on a puzzled and confused face. ?At
our Living Center ? Geeze Sal something must be wrong are you okay?? Andy
asked. ? Not really, today? you saw the chief of authority said, that this
season Scapalon is hosting the 99th Olympics.? Murmured Sal. ?Yeah,
I heard but I?m probably not even going to I can?t make 5 nontars, what do
these people think ? that we?re rich???? ?I guess so Andy? I?ve got many study
sheets to complete.? Sal said sadly, trying to change the subject. ?Yeah me to,
well we?re here. I?ve got to go, my parents are probably thinking where I am
we?re usually here earlier we probably took another route that we didn?t
notice. I can smell my supper from here Sal. Well see ya? around.? Andy waved
his hand and scurried along to his house unit. This isn?t fair that I can?t go
as I climbed the stairs. There has to be another way.

I entered
through the wooden door as I was brought to a whole new and different setting.
My mom walked by, as she wasn?t running but walking swiftly, she had supper
ready in her hand as she was holding a pan. ?Hello Sal, supper is ready come
and eat.? I walked through our mini-hall as I came to the eating room. My dad
was there reading the ?Scapalon Report? It was the daily newspaper that was
delivered to our unit everyday. It was silence but as a moment struck my dad
interrupted the silent air and said ?Hunny, can you believe it the 99th
Scapalon Olympics. This is going to be huge.? ?Yes, Dear, Yes? My mother didn?t
really bother to reply and continue the conversation. I though to myself, if
the conversation ends now I won?t have time to ask my dad and mom to loan me 5
nontars. ?Yeah Dad, I heard it. I think it would be amazing to go. Would you
want to?? Sal asked. ?Haha this is very expensive Sal, 5 nontars doesn?t fall
out of the sky. Damnit I thought to myself, my father isn?t buying into it. I
have to go? I have to!!! ?Dad, please is there anything I can do to earn 5
nontars?? Sal asked. ?Oh dear Sal ? look what I found in our mailbox. It?s your
Study report. Your grades are very low. I snatches the report out of my
mother?s hands started to read it like an insane person. My face started to
glow red. My fist crumpled the sides of the paper.
