There was a town, which is called the town of Olympia. The town is full of people, just like any other town you would know, with perfectly normal people with perfectly normal origins. But there is more than that. This town is actually the most popular town in the state! If you would have to ask anyone, it is very likely that they can tell you all about Olympia. In fact, there is not a single soul that would tell you truthfully that he or she does not know Olympia. Some even call it an act of a miracle. The biggest reason this is so is due to its generations of athletic men and genius women. These townfolks have made the biggest records in their subjects. Not only so, this town is one of the biggest town, and also full of exhibits that would attract anyone. Compile that with the dense population, Olympia is easily the quickest flourishing town you could ever find.
However,
the story I would be telling you is not, well, at least entirely, about this miraculous and majestic town. No, I am sure I have told you enough about that. Instead, this story will be focusing on Michael. If you just look at Michael, he seems perfectly normal. He has the height of a normal teenage boy, wears a vest and maybe on the thinner side, but normal. Well, that was not the townsfolk would say. As I have told you, the men in Olympia are athletic, or at least supposed to be. If you have been listening(or reading, perhaps) carefully, Michael is a bit thinner than normal, which might not sound like the size for a normal sportsman you might associate with, which in case you have never seen one, no offense to your intelligence, should be perfectly fit. The reason for that is, Michael in fact is not an active boy like his friends. Instead of playing some sweaty activity(that is what he calls 'sports'), he would rather read. That is not the oddest of him yet. People had asked him several times why he does so. The reason? He has not idea, he just prefers it. It is like choosing between a peanut butter sandwich or a tuna sandwich. You can only choose one and you just cannot find words to reason why.
Luckily, Michael sometimes does join his friends, although he would still bring a variety of books with him in a brown satchel. But this was what prevented him from getting overly separated from others. So life went on in Olympia, with Michael being the biggest oddball.
Or at least that was what the people thought, until today.
