Just Some Guy

Chapter 20

Today was unnerving. Alice didn't show up at all, but she could just be at home with some kind of sickness. She told me where she lived so I'll check on her later today. I hope she okay, I know that some diseases can be more harmful than they seem.

"A little more to the left!" I moved the light to the left per Jackie's request. My three girlfriends were just watching the practice happen. They were genuinely surprised to see how much went into the practice.

"Roger!" Yeah, I shouldn't have responded because I fell off the catwalk a few seconds later. "God damn it." I stopped my fall by using my psychokinesis and flew back up to the catwalk. My dad really loves flying and I know why now. It's so relaxing and feels like real freedom.

"Be more careful Hunter! We don't want to take you to the nurse's office, and I know how scared you are of the nurse's assistant." He's fucking insane! It's terrifying to have some guy like that qualified to help with surgeries. Yes, that can happen in this school only if necessary.

"W-will do!" I couldn't keep my voice from trembling at the thought of going back there. I already had a little bit of control over my abilities; however, I still have to consciously use my powers or they won't activate. Eventually, it will be like second nature.

"Can you move light 5 a little more to the left!" I did so as the actors walked on stage, their scrips were either in their hands or in a pocket. An object resembling props were brought with them or were dragged onto the stage by the stagehands. I'm happy that I got lights.

My mind went back to Alice though, even if she wasn't in class, she would call me just to talk me into ditching school, but nothing. It was odd for me to not hear from her when she pretty much told me what she was doing or try to convince me to do something. I'm surprised that she hasn't called me yet and told me the situation or told me anything. Damn it, I can't wait. I'm too impatient.

"Jackie, I'll be back! I need to go somewhere!" She waved her hand, completely engrossed in her work. I just floated down to the ground floor as my Sora walked up to me and grabbed my wrist.

"Where are you going?" Sora asked, her eyes holding a bit of fear. She's becoming a little tp dependant on me, but I can't really blame her. I just patted her head and maybe a little scratch behind the ear. A blush grew on her face as she hummed in bliss. She was about to say something before I gave her a kiss which surprised her but accepted nonetheless.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to check on someone. I'll be back soon." She pouted before I gave her another kiss. This time when I pulled away, she was in her own little world. The tsundere had a weakness and I am going to exploit it.

I walked through the halls and I could remember the day I got lost. Alice was a little bit of a bitch back then, but she was, and still is, considered the "queen of the school"; even if she's apparently more benevolent. Most people refer to me as her "Jester" even if I hold more power than her now. Due to the navigation implants for this school, it was often used over phones or notes since teachers couldn't tell who they were talking to. However, students found a way to bypass that and that's how my title spread around the school.

I just walked out and started to float towards Alice's house. It was about an hour's walk, but I should be there in around 30 minutes since I can just go over everything. My mind changed from a leisurely float to rush was when I saw smoke coming from the direction of her and sirens blaring past me. I understandably got scared and flew as fast as I could towards the smoke.

There were people all around the burning building, Alice's house, but I didn't see her. You could visibly see me freak out over this. I landed and ran inside, freezing the hoses of the firefighters for me to run in. Once my foot touched the inside of the building. I froze as much of the first floor as possible. The fire continued to rage through my ice despite it being smothered.
