Angelo smiled seeing the bus finally come in, he knew that the students that would join him this semester were going to be with soon so they could start the year together. Angelo looked up at the sky again thinking back to his old life before he was enrolled in the academy. Angelo would be forced to wake up at the crack of dawn every morning with his parents while they went to listen to the requests of the people it was always Angelo that would be told to do it since he was old enough to do the most basic of things like call on rain and to protect a villagers crops from a draught. so tedious and boring that Angelo couldn't stand it as he did his best every night to run and do something he wanted to do for once but every time his parents would catch him before he got far, saying that he was the future of thunder birds. It took months before his parents decided to stop condoling him and they let Angelo live in a different country although Angelo knew that his parents still watched him regardless of how far he went but that was only Angelo living alone in an apartment in Spain, he learned a lot about the country but nothing that would help his future in being a thunderbird and after a year he asked his parents to transfer him to the academy again his parents refused but Angelo learned more then just culture, he learned philosophy and how the mind must be giving knowledge before being a leader of people. Angelo told his parents he needed to learn leadership and being a normal person so he could directly influence his people without them even realizing it. After a few days of convincing which was a record with Angelo, he finally convinced his parents to let him transfer under the condition that he cant fail a semester or be forced to come back. With that Angelo was determined not to fail and actually learn what its like to be normal and have friends, maybe even find a girlfriend if he was lucky but he wasn't going to deny himself anything here.
