Three years earlier...

The day couldn't start any worse for Gemini.  The fifteen-year-old hurriedly put on his school uniform and grabbed his backpack from the chair, looking quickly around the room to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything.  Everything was in its place, an aquarium with colorful fish was on a cabinet against a gray wall, next to an illuminated globe and under the table of the periodic table, crayons and pencils, which he had used for his chemistry homework the night before, were scattered in disarray on the desk.  Fragrant and pressed uniform shirts hung neatly on a rack by the desk, and right next to a large, comfortable bed, which could easily fit three people, covered with navy blue sheets with white stars, on a small white nightstand by a lamp of lava lay his phone, connected  to the charger.  He ran to get it.

He was usually very punctual and never late, moreover, he usually showed up ahead of time, and on that particular day he had to oversleep.  Maybe it was because Phuwin was away from home, went on some trip with friends, and announced that he would be back in a week at the earliest.

He didn't live too far from school, so he had the faint hope that if he ran, he might be only a little late for his morning class.  He forgot one thing: that the lack of breakfast, high air temperature and fast running are not the best combination for his slightly weakened body after a recent illness.  A moment earlier, he could almost see the distinctive walls of his school building, when suddenly everything was enveloped in darkness.

When he opened his eyes, he was lying on a bench in the shade of a large tree with his head on someone's lap, and the owner of incredibly beautiful brown eyes was bent over him, staring at him with obvious concern.  Was it the boy who helped him?

"Oh, how good you're alive, I was afraid something very bad had happened. Here, drink some water, it's terribly hot today, I'm really glad that you're alive" — The unknown boy burst out a stream of words, at the same time handing Gemini a bottle of water.  The dazed teenager, still feeling faint, accepted the drink offered to him without a word of objection. —  "What actually happened?"

"I-I..." — He tried to say something, but the words stuck in his throat as the stranger touched his hand first to his forehead and then to his neck, checking for a fever.

"What are you doing?" He wanted to ask the stranger. He looked around, but there was practically no one around them, except for some birds pacing back and forth on the grass, probably in search of food. Gemini found this emptiness strange,  but he didn't have a chance to think about it deeply. He didn't know that one of his hidden talents was making himself invisible to people if he really wanted to, and for some reason he didn't want anyone to see them right now, and he was especially afraid of meeting his teacher,  which he fought an unequal war from the very beginning.

"I don't think it's that bad," — the stranger muttered to himself, and after that he asked louder.  — "Should I take you to the hospital?"

"N-no, thank you," —  Gemini gasped, almost choking on water, which he drank probably only to hide traces of slight embarrassment caused by the presence of this stranger who had just helped him. —  "I... I just woke up too late and wanted to be on time for class. I was running and I think I passed out".
