A morning with cacophonous sound. Commodore still sleepy on his bed. He doesn't wear his mask during bedtime as he is not comfortable anymore. Wearing his favorite sleepwear from his grandmother who was never seen him.
The sound begun to be clear in his ears, "HE IS A CURSE! HE IS A CURSE!" There's a rally in the front of the house of Mr. Kinsley. As what Commodore did every night in their houses.
Commodore does not take it seriously and went to his bathroom. He washed his face and brushed his teeth. But he never attempt to see his face in the mirror again. Feels like, he was a curse but he never understand why. Before he wear his mask, he also cleaned it. Accidentally, he saw his face again. He smiled so sweet before he pit his mask.
He always locked all the doors so no one could enter his room like Hearst hobby.
He went downstairs calmly. A silent slapped from his mother was greeted him. "Why you always jeopardize our family? I give you freedom but you are trying to ruin everything in this village."
"That's not really matter. It's my problem anymore, but I never put my family in danger as I don't have it." Another slapped strokes to his face, as Lenora doesn't understand his oldest son.
"Your empiricism is far from being rationalism," Hearst Castle said to his brother. "And—"
Commodore won't let his young brother to explain. "Hearst, I never defend my experience to based how to act. Rationalism is innate to people... I'm not afraid to face my punishment if they can catch me..."
"So, are you telling us that you are going to escape or run? Our neighborhoods oftentimes complaining about your attitude. Now, that you heard their voice, listen to them Commodore!" Mr. Kinsley pointing his index finger in the door. He wants to see if Commodore will face the consequences of what he have done.
"Do you want to be a wanted vandalism stainless steel boy?" Lenora asked in disgrace.
"Are you sure that you are protecting me or you just wanna make me believe of what is right to do? Nevertheless, I know that no one of you consider how I feel everyday... Never mind..." Commodore indolent to go outside of the house at the backyard. They let him to go, they let him decide.
"He is just a 9-year-old boy and start to be in adolescence stage," he sighed as he realized that he might not control his mind but he can save him from being relinquish the goodness and kindness of the world.
Lenora already surrendered. "I know he will go to his grandfather... Let him go, Kinsley." His husband agreed and let people rally all day long until they get tired.
"An outrageous boy with a stainless mask, I met him before and he is still weak," Don Derwent Spike said while smoking in his favorite swivel chair. His office in Reagan Owen Academy is prohibited from students. Only his acquaintance can enter the room
Major Leomord grinned, "My grandson start to derogate in his life. He is a young boy who needs help. But I want you to know that he is in the midst of accepting himself before he uncover his face, Don Derwent Spike," he explained very well.
"But I can't allowed a boy hurt ladies unconditionally. He must control his emotions. I don't like him as well." He continues reading the files and the most important students were sent to him a letter.
"Commodore is always my Commodore. Anyway, I gotta go Don Derwent Spike, have a wondrous day!" He waved his hand and leave in the wooden two doors. He went in the elevator and he saw lady Monique staring at him.
"I was confused if you are the grandfather of Commodore Hadson, why they don't have their last name? I know it's allowed not to insert surname but—"
"Young lady, you shouldn't ask me again," Major Leomord abruptly went out in the elevator to the parking lot.
"I'm just asking," she whispered and rolled her eyes.
Every classes begun after the bell rang. Commodore is always early in his first class. Students were looked at him with curiosity, but no kne try to remove his mask. As they imagined how ugly he was.
Commodore survived his grade four life in ROA while honing his ability in fencing and music. On his 5th grade, everyone was still shocked because up until now, he is still in Academy. Mr. Dark Nero never doubted again as Commodore Hadson changed everything about him.
In the class, Ardent Shark was the first in the rank last year in the whole 4th grade. He was consider as one of the most outstanding student while Commodore was in the least im the rank.
Mr. Shawn Alberts was their teacher in philosophy, he asked in the class what on the picture. "Why the man choose in the cave, even he saw a sunlight?"
Ardent Shark raised his hand. "You may not know the possiblity of life not unless you are unable to take a single step to go out in the cave," he answered.
Lady Monique came in the door that she almost dying in breathing. Accidentally, she went in the last row with Commodore. She astonished by his presence but she calm abruptly. While Mr. Nero listening to other students answer.
Commodore raised his hand and Mr. Dark Nero gave him a chance. "When you stay in a dark, you might believe in nothing. But when you see a light, it gives a complicated system. I think sir, there's other questions that we can use. What if the man choose to believe in the light which means a hope. What if he is in the midst of thinking or being curious about the outside world." Commodore sat again.
Ardent smirked, he never vex with Commodore since the day he met him. Ardent Shark was an excellent student in ROA but a real bully. He secretly bullying weak students around him.
Mr. Dark Nero gladly commended his answer. Finally, the student in the last row raised his hand for the first time.
"If Mr. Owen Wilson wants you to be his partner in the quiz bee, I am sure you can win the contest, Mr. Commodore. Do you want to compete with other Academy?" he asked.
"No sir."
Lady Monique winced, "Owen Wilsom is one of the most brilliant student. You are lucky if you meet him personally. But you and him are having an opposite schedules in ROA, so you wouldn't meet him."
"Owen Wilson? Are you sure that he is a brilliant man, lady Monique?"
Lady Monique always interested about Mr. Owen Wilson who has a lot of thing. "Of course, the way he speak and perfect the exam was rare. He is so perfect like he is an Angel or a beautiful Prince in fairy tale."
"So you dream about him but he doesn't know you..."
Lady Monique suddenly stopped for a moment. "At least I supported him whenever he is. From academics to sports I always there to show my supoort and love to his passion. I am so proud!"
Commodore coughing. "I see..."
"Don't you dare to laugh again!" lady Monique jested. She smiled as she realized that Commodore isn't what she thought like a beast with cruelty.
"Class dismissed."
"Good—bye," lady Monique was hesitate but Commodore give him a blissful farewell.
