A cerulean sky adorned with fluffy clouds stretched across the horizon as Inn and his family journeyed to their new town. The family's weather-beaten car wound through the undulating roads, the purr of the engine resonating in the otherwise quiet landscape. The vista outside the car window was a medley of cerulean skies, verdant fields, and the omnipresent melody of the sea carried by the coastal wind. Inn, an exuberant 15-year-old boy, drank in the scenery with wide, eager eyes.

With a height that slightly exceeded the average, Inn carried an athletic build, the result of countless hours spent playing sports. His bright skin, smoother than porcelain, gave him an ethereal charm. A mane of chestnut hair perfectly framed his handsome face, and the sun's rays bouncing off his skin added a captivating sheen to it. His demeanor was a delightful blend of vibrant energy and playful mischief, an infectious combination that made him a natural magnet for people.

The car came to a halt, and with a soft creak, the door swung open, setting Inn free from the metal confines. He stepped out, stretching his lanky frame as he turned a full circle, surveying his new surroundings. The quaint charm of the small beach town caught him off guard, drawing a heartfelt comment from his lips.

His mother, a petite woman with kind eyes that mirrored Inn's own, set a box down to give him a worried look. She adjusted the spectacles perched on her nose, a habitual gesture that Inn recognized as a sign of her concern.

"Just remember, Inn," she said softly, her voice laced with an undercurrent of worry. "You're starting at a new school. It's important to make a good impression and try to fit in."

Inn turned to face her, his sea-green eyes meeting her brown ones. His lips twitched into an amused smile as he rolled his eyes, a hint of annoyance creeping into his tone.

"I know, Mom," he replied, brushing off her concern with a dismissive wave of his hand. "I'll be fine. I'm used to making new friends."

Despite his reassurances, his parents shared a worried glance. Inn watched as they resumed their work, each movement careful and deliberate, their silent conversation hanging in the air. Inn shook his head, a fond smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. He understood their concern but knew he needed to take this next step on his own.

His new home was a charming apartment complex, a few blocks away from the beach. A soft sea breeze whispered through the narrow alleyways as Inn, along with his parents, began moving his belongings into the apartment. The boxes stacked neatly inside gave a surreal feeling, a physical representation of his past life contained within cardboard confines.

The apartment complex was managed by a cheerful woman named Khun Noi, who welcomed them with a bright smile. She led Inn to his new room, her friendly chatter echoing off the walls. As Inn explored the building, he couldn't help but feel a sense of quiet excitement. The mundanity of the apartment complex, coupled with the quaint charm of the town, felt promising.

After saying their goodbyes, his parents left, leaving Inn alone in his new abode. He looked around, the reality of his new life sinking in. He had a fresh start in a new town, a new school, and he was determined to make the most of it.

In the following days, Inn busied himself with settling into his new home. He explored every corner of the small town

and made a point of visiting the sandy beaches and palm-lined streets, imprinting the details into his memory. The wind, carrying the salty tang of the sea, was always a gentle caress against his skin as he walked down the town's avenues. He savored the tranquil silence that the town offered, a stark contrast to the constant city noises he was accustomed to.

Evenings were spent unpacking and arranging his room, each item he pulled out was a snapshot of his past. The worn-out soccer ball, the faded photographs of old friends, the collection of books that ranged from adventure tales to complex physics - all a testament to his vibrant personality and diverse interests.

Inn also took these early days to familiarize himself with the local norms and customs, always respectful of his new environment. He noticed the town’s daily rhythm, the way shops opened early in the morning, the customary evening strolls people took, and the subtle pauses in the day when everything seemed to stand still, allowing the town to breathe.

One sunny afternoon, Inn decided to take a detour through a local park, where a group of boys his age was engrossed in a basketball game. He watched from the sidelines for a moment, observing their friendly competition. He noticed their camaraderie, the way they communicated with just a look or a nod. Inn felt an urge to be part of that. He approached the group, wearing his friendliest smile.

He asked, his voice firm yet friendly. His heart pounded in his chest, a throbbing beat that mirrored the ball’s rhythmic bouncing on the concrete court.

The game came to a standstill as the boys paused to assess the newcomer. Inn could almost feel their gaze on him, studying him from his tousled hair to his worn-out sneakers. His question hung in the air, unanswered, as the silence stretched on. After a few tense moments, one of the boys, taller and presumably the leader, shrugged and tossed him the ball.
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHHZqUGRCw
“Sure, why not?”
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXxNJVmEWk
He said, his tone friendly yet challenging. His acceptance broke the ice, and the boys returned to the game, this time with Inn as part of their team.

As the sun began to set, painting the sky in brilliant hues of red and orange, Inn realized he was slowly starting to blend into the rhythm of the town. The sense of alienation he initially felt was dissipating, replaced by a comforting sense of belonging. His enthusiasm and adaptability had helped him break the first barriers of fitting into this new world, a fact that gave him immense satisfaction.

As the days turned into week, Inn found himself looking forward to starting high school. The picturesque town, the newfound friendships, and the sense of independence were exciting, but the prospect of a new school was an adventure on its own.
