Uncanny Boy

Prologue:

Jace's POV:

"Did I pass?", I asked my brother, Bryce who I had slipped my phone in his hand.

"I don't know, you check.", Bryce said.

I took the exam to get into Briarwood, one of the best schools in LA. They were to send me my results via email.

"You check. You know how nervous I get. Please.", I said rubbing my hands together in front of him.

"Fine. I'll check. Ahem, Dear Jason Monero.... Did you use your full name?"

"Just keep going!", I yelled.

"Okay, you failed the entrance examination!"

"What?! I failed?", I  asked in utter shock. I knew how crazily I read for that exam and what? I failed?

Immediately, I yanked the phone outta his hand and read the email myself.

WHOO-HOO!!!!!!
I passed and I was to resume Briarwood in 10 days!

"I can't freaking believe it! I passed!"

"Of course you can believe it. You're Jace Monero. Of course you passed."

"But still....I'm gonna be a student of Briarwood!", I said and hugged him tight.

"You know, I'm really gonna miss you. You know you'll have to move, and leave me here alone with mom and dad."

"I know, but this could be the experience of a lifetime."

"Alright, I'll try to live with it.", he said pouting.

"Oh, come here, you.", I said and pulled him to the chair and tickled him to which he laughed hysterically.

"Alright, stop!.", he said laughing.

"Just wait till mom and dad get home. Till then, what do you say to a hour-long marathon of Illusion?!", I said hyping him up.

"I say..."

"Let's go!", we both yelled in Illusion style.

We began the marathon. Few minutes into the movie, I saw my two favorite characters, Matete and Hiru, two boys who are best friends but act like more than just best friends. Wink wink

"Oh, good one, MaHiru.", I said calling them the ship-name everyone does.

"Why do you like MaHiru so much?"

"I don't know, they're just so cute together."

He stared at me strangely.

"What?"

"I wonder. If you were to date someone, it could end up being a guy."

"So?", I said diverting half my attention back to MaHiru.

"Well, you're lucky I'm open minded."

"So? If I fall for someone, it's not for you."

"Well, before you can date anyone, you and the person need my approval.", he said cocky and I rolled my eyes.

"Whoever I end up falling for, all I need is to be happy."

"Cheesy, but yeah, that's a given.", he said and I chuckled and we continued with Illusion.

My mom and dad came in.

"Mom! Dad!"

"Hey, babies.", my mom said.

"So, mom, do we get to L.A by air or by car?", I asked with a funny expecting face.

"What do you....gasp....Did you pass?"

"He's your son, Jason Monero. Of course, he passed!", Bryce said and I showed her the result.

My mom squealed in joy.

"Congratulations, baby!", she said and pulled in for a hug.

"Thanks, mom.", I said.

"Okay, this is huge. When are they expecting you?"

"In about a week. 10 days to be exact."

"Okay, so we have 10 days to prepare. Oh, my goodness, my baby's going to Briarwood!", she said and pulled me in for another hug.

"Okay, what's all this screaming about?", my dad said scarily while walking in.

"Hey, dad, guess what? I passed!", I said.

"And that what caused all the screaming?"

"Oh, sorry.", I said.

"It's okay. Congratulations. So, what's next?", he asked flatly.

You know, for someone who encouraged me to take the exam, I expected he gets the most excited when I pass, but.... Dads. All it takes is a sentence to kill the mood.

Well, Briarwood, here I come!
