This is bad. Bad-bad-bad-bad... BAD! the demon is here! what is she doing here?
I cover my face fast with my arm, to ensure that she will not recognize this face. Why do I have to encounter her in such of time!?
"What's wrong? why are you suddenly hide your face?"
It's nothing, go away... go away...!you witch! you're the final boss that I have to defeat. So I'm not ready to confront you yet since I'm not fully ready
This is scary! this day is a bad day! how can I have a two consecutive bad luck in one day? it doesn't make sense! even more... why it has to be her? the evil witch that ruin my pride as a man.
"Hello" her voice near my ears
"N-nothing..."
"What's wrong?" now I heard some other voice, and this time a guy
Ouch. My wrist being grip by his hand, and force to uncover my face by his brute strength.
No... I can't back down! I put all my energy left to support my arm to deny his strength
"Ho...he's sure are strong one"
"Enough, Paul. Step back... you're hurting him!" with that, those grips were no longer harming me
Did she say, Paul? the guy who always blackmailed me in the junior? we talk the same Paul here?
"I'm sorry, he doesn't mean bad"
"It's okay...leave me alone..."
"I wish I could, but for a glance, I saw your pale face before your hiding them. Do you feel sick?"
I only answer her with silent. I forgot, she's the ace of the archery club in middle school. Her sharp eyes were enough to brag about it.
"Hey, answer her question. Did your mom fool enough to forget putting an ear to your head while giving birth to you?"

"Paul, that's-"
"Look, he's even not moving an inch, even after I badmouthing his mother. Lysa, ditch this guy and let's go already. He's coward, not worth for your time"
Coward? if not because of the CCTV that behind you, I already rip your face... or so I would like to say. I don't have the ability to make it happen...
"You can go first, I'll stay with him. It's my duty as the student council"
"Tch" I heard his strong footstep walk away
"You're a troublesome guy, you know. All I ask is do you feeling well? because I noticed of your pale face. I'll not convince if you only respond it with your word"
"so, all you need is to see my face?"
"That's right, is that a hard task?"
It is a hard task, especially for a former prey like myself. But eventually, I've to give up. This girl doesn't know a phrase of "suit yourself". She will keep meddling other people business that caught her interest until she satisfied, for example... right now.
I moving aside my arm with cautious. I close my eyes to prevent myself from seeing the ugly truth that will discover in any second. But I've already changed, am I? both physical and looks. I mean, right now, I'm different than Aiza from the past... so I quite sure 40% she will not recognise me. But the big problem is... this silver hair of mine.
Now that my arm was no longer be my 'holy wall', my face is shown to her. Damn... why is she silent? say something!
"Ho... you sure have a good, refresh looking face"
Refresh looking? does that mean that she's not able to-
Pa...
What's it now? I feel like a person's palm suddenly land on my forehead. Is it her? it's warm and soft...

"Hmm, no sign of fever... okay confirmed"
I open my eyes slowly. The strong brightness has struck my eyes as it accustoms to the darkness not while ago, so I have to narrow the eyelid to adjust the proper image.
Even the image is still blurry, but that image of her is still burning in my mind
This face that I idolise since from the junior is already in front of me, staring at me while her hand is not moving away from my forehead. This never happened to me back then. As my eye is perfectly suited for the brightness, without I noticed... our eyes meet. It feels like everything around us has stopped, and its only for us
She rises up from squat and brushing away her long dark purple-grey hair. She always doing that whether she feels satisfied or accomplished. As a former of her fan, I do know quite many of her traits and habits... thanks to my high skill of observation. One may call me a stalker but I have a various strong reason for doing that.... so come at me, lawyer!
"Can you get up?" her hand has stretch for me
I was surprised by that. Not only she lends a hand... but throwing a smile at me...? none of this happens when we in the junior
If the former of me is being given a chance like this... if she were treated me nicely like this back then... then I would not despise her to the core like right now. I guess it's true... people always judge by the appearance. She wouldn't be helping me if I'm a fat, hideous looking here.
I decline her warm hand by ignoring her and getting up by myself.
"It's okay" I hang my bag on the shoulder
"You seem like in a bad mood. Did I do anything that unpleasant you just now? ah, if it's about touching your forehead without your permission, then I'm sorry for it. I have no choice..."
"Really, it's fine. You're just doing your job as the student council, and I thank you for your concern. The classroom is about to start so, I've to take my leave now"
"But your face does not show any kind of grateful, more like rage that being suppress greatly under a calm face of yours" You could tell? as expected for a former captain of the archery club
It's true, in the past... my feelings for you were nothing than love, respect and care. But those were gone right after that incident. So you reap what you sow. I'll make sure you will suffer greatly for what you've done.
"You just think hard of it. There's no way that I get mad just because you touch my forehead. Now, I should get going, the class is about to start... you too" I walk away and headed to the exit.
"Ah, if that so... then I'm going with you"
This girl.... really annoys me!

Life is but a Dream
Sometimes, when you close your eyes to sleep, you find yourself in a dream. You may not remember the dream, but for those precious moments, or perhaps seemingly years, that is your life. Yuclaus finds himself rocked to sleep while returning home on a public bus. As he falls into a deep slumber, his heart slowing down, he jerks awake. Where he finds himself is a world full of various creatures, races, mysteries, laws of physics, and creations so fantastical, it could only be a dream. Yet with every person he meets, with every encounter, he realizes how lifelike this world is. He starts subconsciously accepting this as his reality, but is that really wise? No matter how you look at it, this world could be nothing but a dream. Disclaimer: There is a profanity warning. If you are worried about swearing in every dialogue, fear not. In order to capture a character's reaction properly, I felt I needed them to swear. As of now there are three uses of profanity. There are also multiple times a swear word is started, but not finished. For example: "bi—".

8 153Spirits of Eternity(A cultivation story based on spirits)
There are many after Liv, for what she can do. Spirits flock to her and help her, while the rest of the world captures them and uses their power with abandon. Liv set forth to find the truth behind her parents’ death, after their final message. After hearing their voice, Liv was offered a decision. Live safely, or be the best. Just like someone from the past, Liv decided to step towards strength. The magic system in this world is based on a few types of energy: Note(for Songs), Will(for Thought), Mana(for ordinary magic, because I felt like it), what is referred to as 'energy' here(for talking to spirits), and Dominion(for Aura). This is still a work in progress. Any suggestions are welcomed. This and my other work, Monsters as Men, are set in the same world. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
