"Nice to meet you," I said, sways a little bit on my feet.

"It was nice meeting you too," he said, smiling at me then looked at me aggressively.
"Atticus, I just stopped by to greet you and your sister. I really have to go," he said, fixing his hair.
"Sure. I'll see you around then," Atticus said then Felix stand up and went away.
"He's nice," I said. He considered my statement for a moment, then looked me into my eyes.

"Yes he is," Atticus said.

"Ethan, you're a freshman right?" Atticus asked.

"Yes I am," he answered.

"I know you. You're in the Philosophy class right? Your teacher said a lot of things about you," Atticus said.

"Like what?" He said with a big curious eyes and crossed his arms. He looked at me in awe.

"Seniors are not allowed to tell freshmen about that, sorry," Atticus shook his head no, giving him a tough look. The tougher my brother when it comes to talking makes me wonder, do they get, or already got, into a fight? Just once? All this boys, dressed the same way. All wore too much cologne, strutted around the campus, joking, laughing loudly, sometimes even calling after girls, with identical stupid, self-satisfied grins on their faces, got into just one fight of their lives? I wonder if fighting or punching someone in the face is a usual thing outside my house's door. I don't know why but, I can't imagine Atticus or Hugo kicking someone's face. Wonder why? Atticus is the nicest, most responsible guy I ever known in my entire lifetime. All about his bushy eyebrows, green idealistic eyes, and perfectly arranged hair, makes me think that this guy doesn't belong nor should not think of fighting at all. Especially Hugo. Hugo is the sweetest thing ever. Especially when he catches you with his breath taking look using his hazel eyes out of ignorance is one of my favorite.

End of lunch time. Ethan and I head down to our next class, Philosophy. My dad thought me a lot of things about Philosophy, and now, he want me to take this class because he's a lawyer and I want to do the same thing.

"Class, we are now going to talk about logic. Go to the computer, and see what they have for you," the teacher said and we sat down and face the computer.

"You got it?" Ethan said.

"Yes, thanks," I said and I log in. And again, it's being weird. The computer said that "welcome, Kezia. Now, I want you to close your eyes, and just listen to the sound."

I saw people doing odd things again, except me. Then, after 15 minutes, strangeness are done.

"I want to call Kezia, because she's new. Tell me, what did you learn hon?" She asked me with a carrying face.

"Uhm, I learned that, uhm, that logic is a reasoning," I just remember this answer from my dad when he's tutoring me.

"Good. And Ethan, what is the different part of logic?"

"Arguments," he sigh "arguments is the biggest part of it," he gave a big breath then he sat down.

"Nice job," I said to calm him down.

"Thanks," he said then smiled at me.

The class are done and we head down to the commissary again because the school has a news for us.

I saw Hugo and Atticus, sitting down with their friends so I sat down with them.

"Where's your friend Ethan?" Atticus asked.

"He's on the library," I answered and he just nod.

"Good afternoon students. The reason why I asked to have assembly is because I want you to warn about the people that we can't control and manage. This people are dangerous and mainly harmful. If you've seen a suspicious move of this people, report it immediately at the student service. That's all, have a god day," the head assistant said then we start moving ahead on our home.

"Is that so dangerous to report it immediately?" I asked my brothers while we're walking through our home.

"I don't know. I'm not really interested," Hugo answered.

"Me neither," Atticus said. "Maybe dad knows, and mom too. They are working for government, so they probably knows about it. You should ask them," he added.

"No, I'm fine."

"This is the only thing I know about that kind of human, okay. Government and our society use a lot of things to control people, animals and things right? But, they can't control this people. They are unmanageable. Maybe, government are afraid of controlling them, because this humans can control humans too by not using anything. It's pretty cool actually," Hugo said.

"So, it's like they have a super power?" I asked them again.

"I think so, because they can read minds too," Atticus said. This is strange. "Why are you so interested about it?" Hugo asked. I didn't answered.

"This is the first time I saw your curiosity," Atticus said, and I smiled at him.
