“Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz”

“...Eh? Hmm…”

The sharp buzz of my phone's alarm woke me up. I groaned and fumbled to turn it off, squinting at the screen—7 AM. Why did mornings come so quickly? Still half-asleep, I sat up, my mind foggy from yesterday. Did I really fall asleep right when I got home? It feels like I just closed my eyes, and now it's already morning…

Yesterday was a mess. I learn more new things about the strange events happening recently– prophecy about me, the real great unknown world war,Ahh! Thinking about it made me restless. And hmmm… today is my ‘training’,right? What kind of training will it be? Today, it is just a normal day for everyone besides me.

Suddenly… the phone vibrated, when I checked it was a message from Jeniff : “Ready for today? It’s gonna be epic!”

I rolled my eyes. Epic? Sure, maybe for him. For me, I still don’t understand the whole thing, and how does he get my number? Maybe from the principal…

After dressing up in my school uniform, I grabbed my back and went downstairs.

When I opened the door to the kitchen, mom and sis were already at table with some tea and biscuits. Sis was dressed in her work uniform, she is a nurse in RIMS, where my father used to work. My father was just an ECG technician.

“Good morning, Mom”

“Good morning, Max”

“Oii, did you forget to greet me also!” sis chimed in.

“Yea,yeah, sis good morning” I said, sitting down beside her.

“Oh, thank you.. Good morning, my brother..” greeted like a princess in a show

“Ah? Why are you saying like this”

“Ahahah- I think it sounds fun, When I was watching an anime with Diamond I saw this and I thought I should try..”

“Haha– very funny..”

Mom was just sitting and watching our conversation, she looked kind of happy but didn't say anything at all..

As we slip our tea, mom suddenly asks “Max, how is your school going? Making any friends”

“Oh!! Yeah i'm doing good at school” I said with a fake smile,I can't tell my mom about the straight that recently happening and even if I tell they will think that it is just my fantasy only.

“That is not what I expected, I was thinking that you will come cry to me like you used to be” sis started teasing again.

“Haha– I had never do that”

“Ohh, really? but you're still sleeping in class like you did at your last school, right?”

“No…” “Haha– you were popular for that,remember? Everyone knew you as the guy who slept through class”

“Yea, that was my charm,you know!!”

“Haha--sleeping in class is your charm,huh?”

“Hmph… anyway, Sis, is your boyfriend coming over later?”

“Maybe…”

“Okk, if he comes.. Tell me I don't want to meet with him”

“Well… ok”

After breakfast, I rushed out the door saying bye and headed to school.

When I got there, Jeniff was already there, leaning against the school gate. Is he acting like a cool guy? Whatever, it didn't really matter.
