all about?” Alex asked looking at me, like I was about to lose it.

“Nothing.” I sounded a little frustrated, “anyways, are you still on with the plans tonight?” I brushed her question off.

“Yes, movie night. I’ll meet you there.” She then left.

I got in the car waiting for Ashley and got the alone time that I never wanted. I had too many things in my mind I left suspended and I had good reason for doing so. First, because I already had too much on my mind, and second I wouldn’t be able to find solutions to any of them. The problem with being alone forced me to think of all those things, like the master the man talked about before he died. What did he mean? What about my kind? I thought I was a normal guy, but at least that was out of question since now I was more aware that I was definitely not normal. And why the hell did he act like he knew me? Suddenly, Ashley interrupted with my thinking when she got in.

“Hey, what’s up.” she said cheerfully.

“What’s up with you? You seem quite cheery today.” I had to point it out because she was acting a little weird.

“Yeah I am. Guess what?”

“What?” now my curiosity was picked as well.

“Chloe finally told him.”

“And?” this was the best part.

“He feels the same.” I hadn’t seen Ashley excited like that in quite a while.

“That’s great!” I didn’t know them that much so that all I could say.

“You should’ve seen them Steven. It was so amazing.”

“Tell me about it.” We already left school by that time and we were on our way home.

“So at first Chloe was super nervous, she wasn’t even sure she would tell him for the most of the time. She even thought it was crazy. But after some lots of convincing she accepted but she still didn’t know she was going to tell him. We got some ideas down but at the end we decided she should say what she felt was right. So at lunch we saw Chloe grabbing him to the side and she was blushing like crazy. They talked for a while and all over sudden we saw people kissing, the most passionate kiss I’ve ever seen. We got pictures out of it. I think their relationship is going to be the longest. I mean they’ve known each other for a long time ever since we were kids.”

“It sounds like they can’t live without each other.”

“They can’t. They were expected since they are always together, it just wasn’t expected to take this long.”

“Okay, glad everything worked out.”

“Yah,” then she received a message. I assumed it was from Chloe because she put on her gossip look.

And I knew that was the time I had to go back to my own problems which by the way I had no way of fixing ‘em. I got new powers which I never understood, there was a master hunting me down, and there was a curse chasing people away from me or rather taking them away.

I wasn’t sure if I was good or bad, actually I was forgetting who I was each day. The more I gained power the more I forgot the boy used to be. I mean my mind was splitting or something was splitting it and I didn’t know what it was.

A month and a half ago I was a guy in love trying to finish high school with the whole town hating me. But now I was a freak trying to push my life forward just to survive another day with a sane mind.

We arrived home and Ashley was still chatting fiercely on her phone, I even had to tell her we arrived because she wasn’t even paying attention her eyes were stuck on the screen of her phone.

She left her back pack in the car and she went inside the house. That wasn’t the first time though, she’d done it couple times when she was too busy with her phone and I would take her back pack inside the house for her.

The evening went on smoothly, I had dinner with mom and Ashley and I told mom I wanted to go out to watch a movie. They both gave me a curious look when they heard I was going with a girl. Which I quickly cleared that it was just a friendly relationship nothing more, but as usual Ashley wasn’t convinced. I didn’t care what she was thinking anyway.

Honestly, I didn’t know how to dress for such occasion. I know I went out to the movies before but I didn’t care about how I looked like, because I never cared. But now I had a feeling I needed to dress properly for the occasion, I kind of felt like I needed to impress Alex.

So I decided to put on my fancy Gucci t-shirt and fancy blue jeans pants together with sneakers and I was good to go. One more thing I brushed my hair nicely even though they were that long. I liked to keep them short, because I was more of a conservative guy so that whole bad boy long hair thing wasn’t my thing. Besides mom would’ve shaved me bald if she ever saw me with long hair.

“Not a date huh?” Ashley said from my door, I didn’t even notice when she got in.

“Don’t push Ashley.” I yelled at her, she irritated me sometimes.

“Okay, calm down. You look good by the way.”

“I don’t know. You know I’m not good with fashion.” I admitted and she knew I really wasn’t.

“Don’t worry about it, if she likes really like you she won’t care how you look like.” That was her being encouraging.

“Thanks Ash that really helped.” I couldn’t help being sarcastic.

“Whatever, just get out of here.”

I left the room but when I got downstairs I felt a little exposed. Many people in town didn’t like me and going without something to cover me a little was going to bring me trouble. I went back to my room and retrieved my gray pullover hood. After that I was pretty sure I was good to go.

I drove my car to the one movie theater that was in town. Unlike Alex who had to cross half the town to get to the theater it didn’t take me long to get there. There wasn’t many people, I guess I was a little early. I parked my car somewhere at the end of the street and walked my way back. I didn’t want people to see me park too close to the theater and ruin their mood.

I pulled the hood close to my face and looked down most of the time. After a while of waiting someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned carefully because not too many people would tap me for a good reason. But I was thankful that it was Alex and she was finally here.

She did surprise me a little; she was wearing this beautiful dress, which revealed her curves and I just couldn’t take my eyes off her. I never knew she could look so sexy.

“Shall we?” she asked,

“Yes, let’s go.” I subconscious found myself taking her hand somehow finding myself looking at her legs and the heels she was wearing. Damn, she looked so damn sexy, if she was trying to impress me she certainly did.

When we got in and got mixed in the crowd I couldn’t help but feel I tense up and uncomfortable and a little nauseated. I think it was more of a panic attack.

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 42;

 

Alex noticed and squeezed my hand as insurance that she wouldn’t leave me alone. And that was enough to take some of the intensity away.

The movie was a comedy romance movie and Alex said she like the main character. Since it was new she was instantly excited to watch it; she said Adam Sandler was like her favorite actor, but I didn’t know much about the guy, so I just nodded without a comment.

We seated at the back near the entrance for caution if something happened I would take off without any difficulty. Also that was more of a favor I asked from her, so that I would feel more comfortable.

I hardly watched the movie, I was watching her most of the time. I watched how she picked her pop corns absent mindedly and threw them in her mouth. How she giggled and muffled her laughs. And how she would look at me from time to time with a big smile.

I found myself smile involuntarily, a real smile. There was this time when everyone was laughing, she was laughing so hard and she held my hand. My stomach flipped a little, not in a bad way but in a way I never thought I would feel again.

Like that feeling when you start to love someone. ‘Holly molly! I’m falling for this girl’ I screamed in panic in my head. Suddenly my mood changed but I knew I couldn’t leave her there. So I stayed but I avoided looking at her too much. As I started to think of the consequences for my feelings sadness filled me and I couldn’t wait for the movie to be over.

In a while the movie was over and she looked at me satisfied. When we got out of the theater I got distracted, I felt it again. That surge of energy, it was so close felt like I could touch it. There was lots of people coming from the theater, so I tried as hard as I could to identify the person but it was gone before I could find it.

I couldn’t understand, if it was a person why was it so hard to find them. And was it happening now? We were walking back to my car and Alex was talking but I couldn’t hear a thing she was saying. I was, I don’t know frustrated or agitated or angry with myself. I wanted to find this person so bad that I didn’t even stop to consider if this person was even real or just some imagination I created in my head. ‘I don’t even know what to think’ I thought.

“To think about what?” Alex asked, which made realize that I didn’t just think I said it out loud.

“Nothing, so the movie was good, right?” she seemed to doubt the sudden swipe of the subject but didn’t push it.

“Yah, it was great. I laughed so hard.”

Unintentionally I found myself staring at her. I couldn’t help being mesmerized with her constant high spirit nature. At first it irritated me because I thought she was pretending to get close to me and at the end getting herself killed. But I realized she wasn’t pretending but I still believed she was still trying to get herself killed.

“Is there something on my face?” she asked smiling nervously,

“Uhm, nothing.” Quickly I looked away, “come on, I better gate you before your father get pissed”

“Okay.”

I opened the car door for her then I got in myself and we headed to her home. It was quiet in the car, she seated quietly at the passenger seat and I drove nervously trying not to look at her.

By the time we got to the rough road heading to
