Hi Guys! Due to your amazing response, we decided to add yet another chapter today. Enjoy and do give feedback!
Ps- This is how Jeremy's aesthetic photoshoot would be.
Even on the way to school, Jeremy kept a sullen face and resumed his non stop banter about being late, while Evelyn professionally ignored him. A new kid on the bus kept kept trying to initiate a conversation with her but she kept brushing him off for she was lost in the thoughts of the upcoming 'Myth-Fi' class. As soon as they stepped off the bus, in an attempt to hurry and Jeremy a look that said, "It ain't so bad. Is it?" , she banged face first into the big bold letters that read 'Knight High School'.
"Ouch! Damn you petty school board!" raged Evelyn. Jeremy snorted at her and went his way. Still fuming from the smoke of Jeremy's burn and now the big egg sized lump on her head, she headed to her locker. As soon as she laid her eyes on it, she gasped at its new pinkness and floweryness of her usually dope and dark locker and immediately knew that Zara had been upto something during the weekend. The girl took an undue benefit of being a teacher's ward, like being able to use the school's supplies if she forgot hers or having an advantage of coming to school on an 'Only Teacher's Saturday' and transforming people's lockers.
"LIKE THE SURPRISE?" boomed Zara from across the hallway.
"Yeesh!" exclaimed Evelyn not from the noise (which obviously exceeded 80 decibels and was perilous to the human ears) but the new burn on her wrist that the white hot metal of her watch had caused. The pain had been absolutely blinding though it had lasted only for a second. She barely bit back a scream. This wasn't the first time her wrist burnt like that. She wondered why every time it made her she sense the presence of another existence.
"The celebrations for the Royal Birthday have begun!" announced Zara who was to have her sixteenth birthday the very next week.
"Move aside fellas! You have royal blood amongst you" she said to the confused freshmen, who were trying to find their way to their classes, feigning a British Accent.
"Did you notice my new hai - Hey lumpy head, did you run into a sign board or something?" inquired Zara seeing Evelyn properly for the first time in the day.
"How do you do that?!" exclaimed Evelyn.
"Well, the lump on your head says it all." Retorted Zara.
"Wow! You changed your hair?" Evelyn commented airily looking at Zara's blue tipped bob which was once a mane of waist length mahogany hair.
"Oh my God, you noticed!" Zara said sarcastically.
"Yep" Evelyn said in a distracted tone as she noticed Jeremy walking towards them.
"Hey there Ladies!" waved Jeremy
"H-hi Je-Jeremy!" flustered Zara and blushed crimson.
"Hey there loafer. You got nothing to study?" asked Evelyn.
"Who wants to study History when I'm gonna drop the hell out of it next year."
"Smart" replied Evelyn.
"See you around" said Jeremy and winked at them as Zara almost swooned.
"Wow. The miracle of life. Look at Duchess Zara turning into a flustered, blush girl in front of a tramp." Exclaimed Evelyn when Jeremy left.
"Wh- what are you talking about?" stammered Zara as she tried to cover up with a smile. "Did you know today we'll be joined by a guy Chris Davins? He's really famous I hear"
"Oh darn I just ignored a new guy on the bus. 'pose it was him?" asked Evelyn nervously.
"Maybe. Shall we proceed to the Myth- Fi class?" asked Zara.
"Sure" said Evelyn giving her a peculiar look forgetting all about the burn that still stung.
"I will have nothing less than absolute silence." Commanded Professor Andromeda Leur in a firm voice. Despite her middle age and streaks of white in her jet black hair, Andromeda Leur had stunning looks. She was a lady of straight postures and tight buns. With a heart shaped face, high cheekbones and brown leaf like eyes, similar to her daughter's, nobody would be able to guess that she had a daughter in high school.
Zara turned her round little face towards Evelyn and whispered "It's going to be so exciting!"
"I said no talking Miss Leur." Said Professor Leur.
"Our topic for today is going to be about dimensions other than ours." She said. "Some people like Stan Lee and makers of Insidious have been able to interpret other dimensions. Now there stop children! No one has seen the 'End Game' yet." She pointedly told the children who were discussing latest Marvel movie release dates.
"Also by the way, Ellen has a tormented past in Insidious 4." Said Professor Leur as half the class groaned at the spoiler.
"Getting back to the topic, a dimension that us possible to exist is 'The Beyond'. In this dimension, countries are called 'contrè' and cities are called 'cites'. Instead of having states inside countries, they have cities. The time there is measured in 'sanyre'. They have 15 sanyres in a day. According to some mythological and fictional scientists, 15 sanyres are almost equal to 30 hours in the human dimension. But one similarity is that they too have equal hours for day and night that is 7.5 sanyres or 15 hours each. The weather there is always said to be a pleasant spring.
"'The Beyond' has different interpretations. Some see it as a dark spirit land while others like to think of it as a beautiful civilization land of green trees and magical people and full of castles, canals and stars." Said Andromeda as her eyes glazed over as if she were seeing 'Beyond' in her peripheral vision.
"Though it is mostly believed that it is beautifully magical. One of the contrès of 'The Beyond' is 'Hinderland'. It is the biggest Contrè in beyond. You all must be wondering how one actually reaches 'The Beyond'. There are no specific answers to that but most believed one is the path of Astro-Travel. It is a state in which you receive ultimate relaxation and concentration in which, your soul or real self, depending upon your will, travels to other dimension. Astrotravel can also be achieved by immense meditation. Yes, it is some what like yoga."
The Part about the astrotravel did ring a bell but Evelyn was too blown to notice.
"I expect all of you to read a supplementary book on Hinderland by the next class." Said Professor Leur as the class neared it's end.
"Oh! I wish I could go to 'The Beyond'!" sighed Olivia, a dreamy classmate of Evelyn's as Andromeda gathered her books.
"Be carefully what you wish for child." Warned Prof. Leur as a dark look crossed her face and the bell rang for the library period.
