Eye will

Acknowledge

This is...unreal...

I stare at my reflection in our small bathroom mirror.

I recognize who it is, but can't acknowledge what it has become.

Memories flooded back from last week's life changing event.

*****

As I triumphantly raise and show my prized blue iris magnet, Earth celebrates.

Soon, the sweet sound was replaced by complaints and arguments by both other sections. Sky and Nature students were so riled up, some started to madly descend the stairs while others began to jump and wildly throw themselves from the wall.

Target= Me.

As the stampeed made its way at me, an authoritive voice resonated above all the ruckus.

"If as much a single hair on her head is touched, I swear by my life I'll make you plead for death once I'm through with you!"

The thousand students froze in their tracks. They know fully well that Hunter's threats live up and even exceed their expectations.

Merely a few feet away, I witnessed all of their hateful and repulsive stares.

Surprisingly, out of nowhere, a group of Earth stood before me with its leader shielding me from view.

My eyes widened out of shock.

"...R...Rex!?..."

He spoke not turning around. "Don't think for a second I consider you any important now. It's simply a duty to arrive first since we're speed."

I felt a presence behind. Looking over my shoulder, I recognized Frank and his strength group.

Entire Earth stood with me.

"Sir Cloud!" A student shouted. "This is unacceptable! There's no way an Earth can win against a Sky, especially someone like Miss Aurelia. What kind of ability was that anyway?"

I scanned the crowd in search for that student. Following the voice...

There.

The student had taken a step forward. It was a Sky girl. She wore a doctor's lab coat, just like Max's. Her hair neatly pinned up.

So she's Sky's doctor.

"It's a trick." She stated assuredly. "Was that EVEN an ability? Obviously Earth is just desperately trying to gain some kind of power in this school."

"What a miserable theory Aqua."

A hand rested on my shoulder. I turned to see it was Max. He chuckled. "Coming up with any kind of doubt won't help change the clear fact of who won." He glanced at a crying Aurelia. "And who lost."

She frowned. "What's the matter Max? Afraid I'll uncover the truth?"

"Not at all. I'd love to hear what your mere brain created for us to pull off such impossible trickery. You've always had such a wild imagination."

"Doctors enough!" Commanded Hunter. "Sir Leaf and I will be the ones to decide."

"Although the answer is quite inevitable..." Added Seth.

Both sections started arguing again. Agreeing that this matter should be told to adults.

Hunter slammed a hand on his desk, quickly silencing everyone. "Nothing done in here is to be shared! Rule mentioned since day one! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
