Deception

Raion Angst

I don't know if I'm a fraud or not but they say we all are. Our identities aren't our own. We might have the identity of someone who died or someone who's really close to us.

I don't know, it might be that I am a fraud and I just don't know yet but I don't want to think that I am one.

"Rai, Fei's here." It was a sign, if I'll learn about my true identity or if I am actually not a fraud.

"We all are, Rai, we all are." Justin whispered as I passed by. He thinks we are all frauds, we are all fake. He doesn't like his identity. He doesn't like being a criminal.

"I am not one of you."

"You can't change your identity, Rai."

"I can and I'll prove it to you."

With a hint of irritation, Fei shouted me to get in the van.

Fei has anger issues and I wish she could change but Justin said it's in her codes. And I don't think we are made out of codes cause I'm definitely human, we're warm and we are human.

"Hey, glitch eyes." Kids from this orphanage calls me "glitch eyes" cause of my, yep, eyes.

My eyes can uhm, I don't really know if you'll believe me but, I can see sound. My eyes go from blue to green to different rays of colors. It's hard to explain but, it's what I see when I look at the mirror.

I am not overrated here, everyone has their own uniqueness, if you can call it that. Justin can feel stares. Fei can lift this van with her pinky finger. And J---

"RAI! WE'RE BEING ATTACKED!" The van got hit by large rocks but don't worry, Fei can create barriers but barriers can break.

"Put it on." Fei quickly grabbed her earplugs.

I put on earplugs and shouted. And there I saw it, the movement of my voice through air and I went out of the van, I moved the sounds and clapped. A large explosion happened.

"You hit the van."

"Sorry Fei." I rode the van and Fei started driving again. You can only imagine what happened to the people who attacked us.

"That was a lot of blood, Rai."

"I didn't mean to do it like that."

"That's why you need to go to this academy." She meant it as if I was a burden to our orphanage. I know our orphanage is poor but I can't keep on damaging our orphanage.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure I become a scholar." I won't be a burden.

"You better be."

A big sign that says Decept Academy greeted us.

"Go in, Raion Angst."
