To Be One (ENGLISH VERSION)

Chapter 6: Asher

Chapter 6: Asher

"Glad I made it here unscathed." A man with long ivory-white hair that resembles that of a snow, wearing expensive clothing came out of a taxicab, lips twitched in annoyance as the hot rays of sun were radiating towards him. He unbuttoned his white long-sleeve and removed his coat, using it to cover himself. He looked around and scanned the surroundings from the tallest skyscrapers, the busy taxis, crappy billboards, and oceans of people.

"Cities are so damn annoying," he whispered to himself wearing his shades.

"I-is this 'finally' the place sir?" A man was catching his breath whilst trying to catch up with the other's long strides. Panting his breath, mountains of bags were stacked in front of his face as he carried his passenger's luggage.

"Yeah, this time it's.... for sure," the guy replied with confidence. "I think that's the 30th time I heard you say that Sir," the man mumbled to himself softly. "We drove like, hundreds of kilometers just to come here!"

"A hundred kilometers is nothing but a stroll. I had once made a taxicab driver drive a few miles for me. But your efforts are still appreciated." The silver-haired man pulled out his wallet, taking out money five times the amount his cab fee he's supposed to pay.

The driver's eyes almost popped out of his sockets as he gazed at the number paper money his passenger had paid him. "Sir t-this is too much!" he cried. The man only gave him a smile before turning his back and waved his hand to bid goodbye.

"Consider it as your tip." The silver head stood in front of a school, gaining all the attention which he paid no mind. "So, this is where you three are hiding?"

Jade's POV

It still feels unreal, everything. Even though I witnessed all of it, I just couldn't believe that they're not from here... I stopped brushing my curly black hair and stared at my reflection in the mirror. How will I be able to accept all of this? I sighed in defeat while thinking endlessly. Well, I think I just need to find a way then.

Wait, what time is it? I turned to the wall clock and widened my eyes as soon as I saw the time. 7:20?! "I'm gonna be late!!" Gosh! I'm so careless when it comes to time management!

Being in a state of panic, I fix myself quickly. Brush my hair, wear my glass- easy. Wear my uniform, shoes, and pick up my bag- done! I dashed through the stairs seeing my parents eating breakfast.

"You're late again," dad spoke without even glancing at me reading the newspaper from Alvarez Times, his favorite newscaster. Television is invented now though.

"Your lunch is ready," mom pointed out. I quickly put it in my bag.

"Thanks mom, you're the best!" I kissed her on her cheek. I went closer to the table to kiss dad while my fingers managed to get two slices of loaf bread.

"Bye dad! Don't you forget you have a meeting at eight!" He always tells me that I'm always late but guess what I just managed to get it from his genes. He looked at his wristwatch and also panicked, I grinned as I closed the door.

The fresh wind welcomed me. The sunshine is warm enough to tell that this day will be a good one. I'm on the way to school and passing through the highway, seeing people everywhere, the students coming out from the bus, others riding on their bicycle, and people like me who are walking to our own destination.

Entering the main gate of the school also called for the morning wind to blow stronger, I closed my eyes to avoid the dust but then I just bumped into someone making me lose my balance. 'I'm going to fall!' I expected to feel the hard pavement. Instead, I felt an arm on my back, while the other hand pulled my arm. "How clumsy," A gentle baritone voice filled my ears, making me shift my gaze towards the male who caught me. Unusually sharp golden eyes that resembled a gold diamond were staring narrowly at me through his glasses. It was very mesmerizing that you can stare at it all day, especially since those thick and long, silver curly lashes complimented it so perfectly. Skin as pale as snow was painted with light pink on his proud cheeks. His tall nose was paired perfectly with his thin red lips that were begging to be kissed and sucked on. His sharp jawline made his looks extra attractive as his long white locks flowed like ink from his shoulders. He's the real epitome of beauty, beating both men and women. 'Like a snow Elf Prince, his looks are very alluring.'
