In The Middle

The Spark and The Gang War

"Take a seat, anywhere is fine." the teacher smiled as she made me choose my seat, and as always, I chose the seat near the window at the last row.  I sat down and draw out of boredom.

I was transferred here by my previous school, who couldn't keep up with my intelligence. I'm not gifted with a mind of Newton or Einstein, but I was clearly too smart for our local school. And reading the textbooks given to me, I think they'll do the same.

I turned the page for a new drawing. I just finished drawing Ms. Darwin, the principal from the previous school. My memory is a little sharper, it was easy for me to draw anything from memory than the average. I wanted to draw the teacher who is teaching us, but I didn't feel the spark. Honestly, I don't really know what the 'spark' is. It just appears naturally, mostly in conversations and chats.

I gave a sigh and closed my drawing sheet, and listens to another review in chemistry.

~Time skip~

It was already end of school, and I was completely bored the whole day. Just like the last school, they all taught things I already knew by heart. Heck, I even aced the surprised quiz that they gave us in Calculus and I finished it in 10 minutes when It took the other students half an hour to solve haft the questions.

I reached out to put my stuff inside my locker. I closed it after putting almost all of my stuff in, and turned to the hallway to see a guy turn on the corner, exiting the school. Like I said, I have sharper senses that an average person, so I remembered everything that I saw in a split second.

The guy was wearing a blue hoodie which hides his black or dark brown hair, and a mask seem to be a replica of the 'Friday the 13th' Jason's mask but painted to look a little bit like a clown, hiding his face completely, except his beautiful light blue eyes.

I stood there, frozen for a bit, while the 0.79 second clip flashbacks to me a couple times. I had my eyes locked at the same corner that the guy turned. After about 5 seconds, I shook my head and turned back around to my locker and hurriedly opened it.

I slammed the door of the locker and ran excitedly out the building, hugging my drawing sheet with a smile in my lips. It was the first time ever, without any conversation, or even a little introduction, I found the first spark in this school.

~Time Skip Again~

I got up of bed before my alarm clock even ring. I was too excited to see that blue hoodie guy, it was an amazing discovery that a spark happened without any information needed. He must be a very interesting person. I squealed in joy as I hurriedly went to school.

With my alarm, I always come to school perfectly in time, with no extra time to waste. But this time, I was early enough to see student getting ready. Some of them are chatting, doing last minute assignments, and other stuff.

I was on my locker and hurriedly slammed it shut. I stared at the hallway, waiting in case he appeared somewhere. It was unlikely for me to be waiting on someone else. It was usually me who waits for either a student or a teacher.

After a while, the students began to walk to the hallway I was watching, making it harder for me to find him. I was holding my books and drawing sheet until at the corner of my  eye spied a blue colored hood in the middle of the commotion.

I hurriedly walked towards the guy, pushing the people aside, but not too much that they'll think it's on purpose. I finally got close enough, but someone's foot, who were probably watching the commotion, made me trip. Since I was almost at the front of the crowd, I tripped over, bumping into the blue hoodied guy and falling to the floor.

The crowd, who was talking about the commotion, suddenly became silent. I already felt like I was in trouble. My books are scattered around me and my sheet on my chest.
