loud cheers met my eardrums as i felt the fire
surrounding me.
not really feeling the heat of it since...well...it's not actually there.
"oh, man. what's gotten into them now" smiling, i tugged on my brother's jacket whilst walking up to him.
"we got a gig tonight" he exclaimed the second i was in front of him
I grinned massively, almost an evil grin, i look around myself
"sunshine. clouds. rainbows" great.
"they're still there?" Campbell is my younger brother but, sometimes he treats me like i'm younger than him. i find that quite endearing.
"yeah but it's been 13 years so i'm used to it now. i guess"
the loud ringing of the bell caught me off guard, my cousin Diana ran past me only to run back to me in a rush
"we're gonna be late! oh hi Campbell. LETS GO!"
i let her drag me to AP physics since i KNEW that i wouldn't have the energy to do that
"hey we're here before mr. Song, gives me time to review my notes"
"bookworm as always. hey, we got a gig"
"yes!! for tonight's party?"
"i'm pretty sure that's the one" i yawned
"up again reading spell books?"
"not easy being a leader of a coven at such a young age huh?"
"i suppose not but, at least you slept. i was up all night trying to—"
mr song walks in, all stoic and teacher like
"take your seats, class will begin soon" he mumbled, loud enough for us to hear clearly.
"tell you later"
i took my usual seat near the board, no lab partner since last week....Lisa transferred to Bangkok..leaving me and the girls all alone.
"hey, Lyra"
"Lyra, looking good"
"Nice to see you, Lyra"
i guess people like me at school, i don't see myself as someone who rolls with the popular crowd.
i'm just..me.
i have my own friends
my life is hectic enough as it is
i don't wanna add high school drama into it
so i don't involve myself in any...not intentionally
'great, very funny! question marks because i'm curious about something.'
"class please welcome our transfer student from Seoul, Jung Jaemin"
huh?
i was too into my own thoughts i forgot to pay attention to what mr. song was saying before
introducing us to this new boy—
wait a NEW boy?
"it's JJ" he mutters, audibly.
"well, JJ. have a seat anywhere"
please not next to me.
looking at him...felt so weird
it isn't BAD weird it was just..weird.
he spared me a glance, gave me a weird look and
walked to the back, where the empty and abandoned desk sat.
'thank god' relief washed over me as i felt the clouds eating me up.
"hey uhh do you see what i see?" i heard the new boy ask one of my classmates. soyoung? jisoo? i don't remember her name.
"what do you see?" she asked curiously
"those clouds...around that girl at the front"
my eyes widened as i was listening to him..
how can he see it?
it's not possible.
"what clouds?"
"uhh nothing"
did you hear that?
i heard Diana's voice in my head
how does he see? no one can see.
i spoke back
the question marks are back, only this time they're flashing red.
"what the hell"
