I was a little bit flustered while on the bus going home. I was sad at the same time disappointed with myself. It is as if I expected something.

Okay. I need to stop. This isn't going good.
I plug in my earphones...

...I didn't notice...

The bus is already past my destination. So I have to walk back in order to reach home.

When I was about to set foot in the house, I heard mom and dad discussing about something which I am not familiar with. Maybe because they are both in the same field. My mother is a psychiatrist while my father is a psychologist. I heard them talking about some terms like trans...hush shuh I don't know what that word was.

"What were you talking about?" I asked them while untying my shoes.

"O dear, you are already here..." says my mother.
"How was your day?" My father asked.

They never fail to ask me that whenever I arrive home. I think it's great that they are always willing to listen to my strange stories and ideas.

"It's unusually great." I smiled.

My parents were awfully shocked. I'd never uttered the word "unusual" ever since, and I think they must have noticed that before. I think that events in our life are pretty usual and routinary.

"Ohh!!" Says my parents in chorus.

"Dear, would you mind to tell us about your day?" My mother said in a sweet tone.

"Maybe later mom. I'm a little bit tired and flustered." I lied. I just don't know how to tell them about Lex and his unusual way of mingling.

I went straight to my bedroom and threw myself on the bed. I felt a little relieved after I could feel the comfort of my bed and pillows.

Uhm...and then I could not hold it any longer...I fell asleep.

I was awaken by the knockings of my mother.
"Psy... wake up! It's almost seven and someone is here for you." My mother kept on yelling at me.
"Mom!!! Let me have a proper sleep this time." I yelled back.

"It's never good to oversleep dear." My mother told me.

"Come on. Rise! Someone is waiting for you." He said you are having a camp.

"O holy cow! I forgot." I gasps.

I hurriedly rise from my bed and got out of my room.

I see Lex, Anima, and Mr. Carnis. Sh*t I silently whispered. My mother told me someone is waiting...but I'd never expected that it would be the three of them. My mother made it sound as if only one is waiting.

"Mom!" I shouted. She is cynically smiling.
I rushed to the bathroom to have a quick shower. I feel ashamed. They have witnessed me at my worst.

Why would they come here? Anima could have contacted me. I talked to myself as if I'm about to go crazy.

"Let's go." I told them. I waved my good bye to my parents.

"Good bye. Enjoy and don't worry about us Psy." Just cherish the moment. Says my dad.

"Okay dad. Thank you." I kissed them before I head outside.

Are you ready to delve in to the deeper reality? Are you ready to answer one of the major questions in our life? Mr. Carnis asked enthusiastically.

Let's go and have fun. Anima excitedly shouted.
