The Girl With No Last Name (The Girl #1)

What IS He?

Chapter 12:
What IS He?

I finish my lunch and sit talking with Cytro, wrapped up in a bubble of happiness and peacefulness.
"What are you, Cytro?"

He hesitated for a second.

"I don't think you're ready to discover that yet." I groan internally. As if that would make it any easier.
"Come on,"
"Nope. I'm not budging on that. You're not ready." He nods his head in confirmation. And I know he won't budge; I could see it in his eyes and the way they blazed. I sigh.

"I need to go now, ok?" I reach out to that core inside me again and am – for the second time – blinded by the gold that radiates from within me. Go, Cytro. And he disappears. I feel all the energy zap back, like an elastic that was stretched and then was left to zing back. I stand up and flatten my clothing, unwrinkling it, before I make my way to my next class.

The question never leaves me till the end of the day: what is Cytro? What was that vision I saw? My life is getting more mysterious day by day. But maybe it will keep getting darker, more tangled and mysterious, knotting further and further till one day the mysteries all unravel. Maybe, just maybe, one day I'll have a normal life. Or at least as normal as it gets.

As I'm walking through the corridors, I bump with someone who is – of course – quite taller than I am. "Sorry," I mumble, looking up to face the bumpee.

"No problem cutie!" She replies, resulting in a little frown to appear on my face. I know that she's just trying to be nice, but I hate being patronized.
"Um, actually I'm an eighth grader, but thanks anyway."

"Oh, I know. You're Charlie, aren't you? The whole school knows about you," I am confused. If she knows who I am, then why did she 'cutie' me? Seeing my confused expression, she adds in mock sweetness, "Oh sorry! I realize my mistake now. Cutie is a bit too old for you, yeah?" She sneers in my face and I mentally facepalm myself for my stupidity.

On second thoughts maybe she isn't all nice.

A/N
Okay I know this took hellishly long time, and I'm sorry. I had actually made my mind to discontinue the story, but then I received some really motivating words and I set out to continue. So for that I dedicate this chapter to write0013 ❤️

Also I know the chapter is short but that's because I wanted to post something today.

Please please please tell me your thoughts. I felt discouraged from the lack of comments, votes, and messages. I felt like the story wasn't worth it so please comment.

Lastly, sorry for the long A/N 😅
