Circus

All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip everybody going to trip just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor just like a circus

(lyrics extracted from Britney Spear's Circus)

It was a Saturday evening and Alex was just minding his business.

But sadly this time, all alone. Mira had to take care of her ill cousin who is nursed at her house and Taia is going for an evening Chemistry tuition class.

However, Freddy is not with him this time what with him being too preoccupied on playing the story mode of Inkmageddon on his new Pintenko Clitch. This relieved Alex but he still felt lonelier than before.

And suddenly there was a rowdy noise. Multiple cameras clicking behind him. Loud chattering, and even a few panting.

And there was loud shouting too.

And what the only indication that he was aware of is that

He is still not safe from hiding anymore.

And suddenly the noise grew louder.

Louder.

And even LOUDER.

Alex felt nervous and uncomfortable as he knew that he was about to be robbed of his chance of a normal living again...

"I WOULD LIKE A WORD WITH YOU ALEX. TELL US, what's it like being a robot who saved countless lives in certain accidents including the London Skyline incident, or even the time where you fought a robot hellbent on wiping out humanity?"

"Or the time where YOU and your brother faced the infamous robot terrorist Robot 23?"

"TELL US!" shouted the dark skinned turban wearing reporter as he held a microphone close to Alex.

But all Alex felt was dread, confusion, worry,

and FEAR. He was silent and was hesitant to have himself and god forbid, his brother be only known for being super powered 'weapons' that are only known to be the ones behind the rescues of multiple people, in spite of the unfortunate fact that he's been flashed mercilessly with many cameras that are almost blinding his robot eyes.

He just wanted, for once, to have some peace and be like any other kid,

not the target of unwanted gawking of the spotlight...

And it would be the worst to imagine that your chances of wanting to lead your own life is interfered by nothing but the spotlight itself.
