-🪞: so.. you asked for... guidance?

Eric remained silent..

-🪞: I'm asking.

Eric was horrified, like imagine waking up in the middle of the night just to find out that your mirror has inside of it a mysterious entity that looks like a carbon copy of you!

*The reflection sighs and looks away*

-I'm sorry for the creepy introduction... it's just that I've been busy lately so I couldn't get to you any sooner.

Eric was shut down.. his brain was trying to process what's logically impossible.

-You're gonna stand there? Go get yourself that chair I have things to talk to you about.

Eric finally moves slowly to get the chair, he puts it facing the mirror and sits down

-Eric: May.. I ask.. a.. question? *He said with his eyes wide open*

-Now before you ask who I am.. you don't really need to know... let's just say that I came from far, really far away.. but here's the deal: you ask for guidance, you receive it.. We're not here to play.. why would a prayer mean anything if it's answered based on luck?? If you ask, you shall and you will receive. I pop out in this mirror, and only this one.. you can think of me as a God-given gift,or for example a therapist.. it doesn't really matter.

*The reflection smirked*
'Think of it as "SA"' he said with inner confidence

-S...A..? SEXUAL ASSAULT?!?!?!?!?

-No dumbass! It's Spiritual Assistance!!!
Can't you get your penis out of your head?! For once in a lifetime!! Oh and one more thing, those sexual jokes you and Stephen have been throwing here and there, or those dirty glances?? Not funny at all... .
It's actually shameful and disgusting. Sex, as you obviously don't realize, you little animal instinct seeker, is Sacred Energy Exchange. S..E..X . It's far more important than your feelings of pride because yours is x inches or because you're extremely attractive and have so much sex appeal...
Get out of that Ego you empty guy! What does that add up to if you have zero personality?

The reflection continued:

I'm here and I'm going to demand a change.

Otherwise the ending won't be pleasant for you.

*The reflection looked really offended*

Look at yourself! Acting funny and witty but can't even fix your little simple life? People are building Spaceships *he said with his chest* and you here sitting in this room leaving your underwear for days on the floor like it's a 200lbs dumbell?! Well- that's embarrassing.

*Eric was once again baffled*

- H- How?!!

-That's all you care about right now?! Have you been listening to what I have said so far?! *sarcastic giggle*
And it was a fake Calvin Klein .. Huh I'm disappointed.

Listen dumb kid, I know more about you than you do about yourself..

I know about your school stress, your father wound, your parents' recent divorce, your emotional immaturity that you've been projecting as sexual perversion.. trust me.. I know A LOT.. and you are being destroyed with your very own hands...

-So if you had known all of that why haven't you helped?

-Look .. you might be feeling entitled at the moment, but it's not my job to fix your whole life just because you're irresponsible enough not to seek a solution for yourself.. I'm here to give brief yet deep insights, not to live your own life instead of you.. you need to get clear on your situation. Do you expect anything to change on its own?

*Eric remained silent*

I said what I have to say.. don't let anyone know about what just happened, by the way ... Crazy shifts are coming your way.. Hold on tight because some are unpleasant..

*The mirror flashes with bright green light so Eric covers his eyes*

- The reflection- it came back to normal!!

If y'all reading this are wondering right now "what the fuck?!".... Yeah.. he doesn't know either.

-🗣: Eric! Are you okay?

- Yeah I just needed some water.

He's still living with his mum in the same house, the house that he hates so much.

It was pouring outside, he had school the next day, he's exhausted .. he's anxious .. but NO!

It's Emily's presentation tomorrow!

He won't miss a chance to be there and see her..

She is THAT blonde girl with fair glowy skin and brown eyes, she's bright, intelligent, kind, elegant, she can get Eric out of his shy quiet personality into a really vivid bubbly one .. He melts away for this girl, but unfortunately, someone melted away faster than him.

"That asshole Mark is going to be there.. rooting for her.. I can't let these two have their private moment"

But the problem is, Mark is the perfect guy.. He's confident, masculine, muscular, handsome, tall, and most importantly, he's really secure in his own skin.

He's sensual yet respectful, assertive yet humble, he has nice manners.. and has a wide face. (everyone likes him)

That's a lot more than enough to make Eric hate him for life.
He feels threatened by Mark's presence.. he tries to convince himself that he's better than him.. through grades.. and it still doesn't make that difference in Eric's confidence. He still feels inferior to him.

But Catch this: Mark has already told Stephen, who happens to be also his friend, that he adores Emily and that he is going to confess to her sooner or later... he is just waiting for the right moment...

Eric apparently won't stand a chance <_>

He immediately went to sleep, trapped in the same doom of thoughts.

Next morning, he hopped out of his bed and looked out the window..

the sky has cleared up.. He will go to school.

He got his black coat and his pants out of the wardrobe, got a milky white scarf ... he simply "ate that outfit up".

He has a great fashion sense and that's a fact..

He put on his cologne and took a final look at the mirror, but then he saw a small note on the wall, he looked behind, but the wall was clear.. He rushed to grab his glasses, and looked again at the note:

♤ Is going worth the pain? ♤
