Jaxon was a "normal" kid, with "normal" grades, and a "normal" life
"Jaxon!" His mom yelled, "take out the trash, it's trash day"
"Okay!"
Jaxon was a kid who was just a background character, he knew that competent people, would slave away at companies, with rich CEOs, and lose the good years. Where you don't have any joint pain and don't get thrown in a nursing home.
At school he only raised his had when he absolutely needed to, he sat next to the popular girl, so when she noticed jaxon always got Cs she made fun of him, 'it was just for attention, don't pay her any mind' Jaxon always thought
He only had 3 friends though they weren't any good friends, just people to hang out with, they were stereotypical background kids, a shy one, a chubby one, and a smart kid who was a nerd, the kid who always raised his hand.
He was just a normal kid aside from his obsession with fantasy, he loved all sides of it from the swords, elfs, magic monsters, and most of all magic.
It was the midterms at school and instead of just letters it was a number now, at first Jaxon thought nothing of it till all of the tests were done and it was the next day in home room.
The popular girl (Abby) was bragging to Jaxon her grades, and was nagging at him to show his, they were all 50/100 so Abby was belittling him.
The one thing that Jaxon didn't like was people underestimating him.
"Your so dumb you can't even get a B in any classes, even in PE" Abby was mocking him
"Smarter than you" Jaxon mumbled, he usually held remarks like that in.
Abby heard, "if your so smart tell me the answers to the questions I got wrong"
"9 is 2x over x plus 10", and then continued for all the questions even some for science,"you just got lucky" as she walked away.
His nerd friend asked "how did you solve the last science problem"
"I didn't" said Jaxon, "yes you did in class when Abby was bullying you" said the nerd
Jaxon walked him through it, "if your so smart why do you only get Cs"
"I don't want to slave away behind a computer" Jaxon said like it was the most obvious thing.
"But if you do that you won't any money" said the nerd
"what do you want to do?"
"Nothing" Jaxon lied, what he really wanted to do was, either write stories, or be in one of those stories.

It was spring break midterms just ended, and he went to the nearby park, it was across a busy street, and had only one goal post.
After practicing dribbling and shooting he was walking back home, and seemingly out of nowhere he got truck-kun'd
It seemed kind of sudden, but after he remembered that accidents like that weren't rare, he accepted it.
'It is what it is, these things happen. I'm not someone special or important.' Jaxon was thinking
"Oh, but you are someone special" a voice ringed out of the darkness.
