EYES OF THE HEART

During the next three years it was difficult to learn to write again, to read, to walk without fear and to do things on his own, but thanks to the support of his fathers he achieved it. His fathers, having money, hired teachers for him and he studied at home all that time.

He was already 8 years old and would go to primary school in a few days. What should he feel? Thanks to the fact that his fathers were partners of the school with primary and secondary; He could study normally, without his lack of sight being a nuisance.

[...]

The little bicolor woke up after having slept for a few hours. It was his first day at primary school and he hadn't been able to sleep well because of it.

Ethan's POV

I'm very nervous, but also very terrified. It is the first time I will study away from home and I don't really know how I should act or what I should feel. It's so overwhelming.

What if others don't like me? If they see me as a weirdo? I don't want to be alone again.

I heard my dad call me. And then I realized that I had been thinking for a long time.

"Ethan, come down for breakfast!" he shouted at me from below.

I grabbed my cane that was next to my bed and stood up. I brushed my teeth, changed my clothes and put on the uniform that my dad placed next to my bed, and I put what I needed in my backpack. I left my room and went to the kitchen.

On the way I heard the sound of cutlery clashing with plates and the stove on, I assumed that dad was cooking while father was already having breakfast.

"Hello, my little one! How did you wake up?" His voice always had that sweet tone when he spoke to me. He finished cooking our breakfasts and sat at the table in front of me.

"Somewhat nervous..."

"Do not worry everything is going to be okay. And if something happens, let us know."

[...]

After breakfast my father took me to school. When we arrived we went to the principal's office and he told us where my classroom was. I was a little excited, but I still felt like something bad would happen.

When we were in front of the classroom, father knocked on the door, but there was no teacher. We entered the room and I smelled many smells and heard many boys and girls talking animatedly until they noticed my presence and that of my father.

"Come on, introduce yourself..." my father told me, I was nervous, but he took my hand.

"I'm Ethan... I will be your classmate, I am delighted to be able to meet you and I hope you take care of me" I tried to say it the best I could, the good thing was that I didn't stutter and I smiled.

"Sir, why is that child looking at nothing?" a girl asked.

"He can't see you, he's blind." The others remained silent, apparently that bothered them. I was going to talk about that topic, but my father beat me to it.

"My son lost his vision, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to study and achieve his goals, so I ask you to be careful about what you say about him and what you do to him." My father could sometimes be as scary as he wanted, especially all when he got angry. His aura was becoming too intimidating.

Father showed me where I should go to get to the last (and only) available seat in the third column. He said goodbye to me and kissed me on the forehead, I love when my fathers do that, and he left.

I walked with the help of my cane towards the seat he indicated to me. It is true that due to my lack of vision I could not locate myself well and perhaps I failed to calculate, I tripped over something. I heard the other children laugh.

"Everyone shut up!" said a child's voice. "Don't worry, I'll help you." He picked me up and helped me get to my seat. I noticed he was an alpha. "We can be friends? I'm not very well treated here either."

"Thank you very much for helping me and of course, I would love to be your friend."

"My name is Yuri and your name is Ethan, right?"

"Yes, my name's Ethan. By the way, you have a nice name" I smiled at him, I liked the warmth that being with him gave me.

From that day we became good friends. Many days I had a hard time with my colleagues. They used to push me and tease me, after all Yuri couldn't be with me all the time.
