Power

Alice High

I look at the map that the car man gave me. I am on my way to the girls dorm but I was officially lost. To tell you the truth, I have no sense of direction, but even so I at least try to use my brain and think. However, it's not very useful right now because the car man said no to 'ask others' but why not? Wouldn't that be easier and faster? Plus, my class is starting soon; I only have fifteen minutes left.

I can already predict my horrible future since I had an awful start. But, thanks to my weird sense of direction, wandering around for seventeen minutes, I finally saw the girls dorm and ran inside then scan for the given room which turned out to be at the third floor, last door.

"No roommate?" I question myself.

The room was very empty since it only had a bed, dresser and a bathroom. From the dusty window, I noticed a letter resting. Opening it, it said that my classroom is B-1 building 3. I was also told to change into a proper uniform and to not be late for class. Even though it sounded strict or someone was meaning to yell at me through the letter, there was still a smiley face at the end.

Well this time, I'm going to ask others since the car man never mentioned anything after I found my dorm. I mean what harm can it do?

While I was rushing out of the dorm, I spotted a man from a far as I approached him, "Excuse me, do you know where B-1, building 3 is at?" I ask. He turned around to face me as my eyes rested with his. I had never met such cold eyes before. Those golden eyes of his, rare and unique yet at the same time, sad and lonely. Almost like they were left behind.

"Are you sad?" I accidentally ask, the words slipping out of my mouth. It was because of those eyes that I couldn't resist to know more about them. I felt the urge to cry for a moment.

"Why would you say that? An amateur like you knows nothing and I do not know who you are so don't you dare say nonsense again. do you have any idea who I am? It doesn't matter whether you do or do not. Go find your own place"

I look up at him, remaining silent and waiting for him to say more, "Your building is that one over there and is on the third floor" he sighs before leaving. Even though he was speaking, those eyes of his were so beautiful yet so lonely. I find myself getting lost in them. Just who is he? These people, just who are they.

I was finally inside my class, sitting down alone. Other students were here already and some of them seemed to have befriend each other. Was I too late? "Haha I know right! This uniform is so cute~" I heard one of the female student say as I was sitting and waiting for the class to start. just like always, others ignored me as the teacher had arrived, not surprising.

A man with blonde hair, glasses and seemed to be wearing a scientist coat. "Alright kids! My name is Mr. Flake and today I will start with the introductions. Don't worry, it won't take long" he says.

Such a bright teacher. These students need him in their life. Probably me too.

"This school is not your typical high school. Starting tomorrow you will all feel the real pain. We train you to earn your powers. Your powers are all different depending on yourself, but some people are going to be the same. As I said, you'll be training the whole day tomorrow and you won't be training here. There's not much students here right now, because they are elsewhere. A different dimension. Again, tomorrow you are somewhere else and you can never go back here unless you're on a break. But that's all up to you to decide." and so the teacher says.

Powers?

"This is so weird" I whispered to myself, barely audible. I wonder what kind of powers I will have. "Hey, if this is some kind of joke you better drop it now. This is school, not a playground" complained one of the students. He seemed furious and the uniform didn't seem to match his image very well.

"Does it look like I'm playing around right now?" Mr. Flake's scary face had suddenly turned into a glare as the atmosphere in the classroom felt heavy. I think it was his aura causing not just me but the others as well to feel pressured by him. I stepped into the world of powers. A new world.

I raised my hand to drop this atmosphere, "Mr. Flank, where do we meet tomorrow?" I ask since he said we start training tomorrow. "Perfect question my dear. Just try to be present here tomorrow and I will lead the way" his smile came back, "If that's all, class is dismissed. Don't be late or else you might be stuck here forever without knowing anything and I'm sure you don't want that"

Weird. I should be confused, frustrated and scared but I'm not. Well, I guess living a harsh life for seventeen years made me accept harsh reality just like this weird school. but it's not that it matters. I actually find this a little more challenging than just studying, eat, sleep, school, bullied and repeat.
