《Meta Human》Chapter 20: wow!
Advertisement
The phone on the side table rang at 6am as usual.
Alex did his morning routine and immediately went to school.
The lessons ended quite early that day and before madam Morgan had left the class she announced that the registration for school clubs was ongoing in the cafeteria.
Alex along with the other students headed to the cafeteria for the obvious reasons.
Now that the end of year exams were done, there was nothing much left to occupy students so all they could do was participate in clubs.
Posters hang at different points in the cafeteria showing people the different names of clubs.
Alex and Calvin stood at the cafeteria's entrance looking on at the lively cafeteria, wondering which club they would choose.
But of cause Calvin's confusion dispersed when she saw the music club.
A smile formed on his face as he quickly headed to the station to sign up for a slot.
Alex was now back at home exhausted fr all that standing at school.
He went straight to his room and took a quick bath then played an online game.
"Damn!" erupted a frustrates Alex hitting the table hard when he was killed.
"These guys are just too much." he said in frustration.
A chirping sound filled the air.
Alex felt the vibration on his wrist and immediately tapped the bracelet to project a screen.
Message from uncle Ruff: Alex head over to the HQ now.
With out further delay Alex spin around the chair grabbed his leather jacket and was now back on the road.
He looked at the hard concrete wall in front of him with a flashback of how hard he slammed in it the previous time.
Alex felt a vibration on his arm again.
Message from uncle Ruff: Hurry up inside.

Alex hesitantly walked into the wall but what he expected never happened. This time he walked in with ease.
He walked through the familiar hall to a lounge where Ruff and Alvin sat playing video games.
The white walls with blue light lines engraved onto the walls horizontally gave the place a futuristic glow.
The loud music emitting from the wall, made the place even lively.
Tammie, who sat at the bar counter lazily drinking at a beer bottle noticed Alex; "Ahhh.... Alex." she said with a smile.
Ruff turned his head when he felt someone blocking the light from the door.
"Perfect. Your here." he said taking off the blue gaming headsets and hang them around his neck.
"Alvin has something to show you."
Alvin also took took of the headsets and stood up smiling.
"Follow me." he said.
Excitement boiled up Alex's stomach. He was only thinking one thing now, what they had in store for him given yesterday he had a chat with Ruff regarding joining them.
Ruff, Alvin and Tammie led Alex to the show room where the suits are kept.
The whole HQ had the similar futuristic designs as the one's in the lounge.
No matter how many times Alex had been here, he could never stop thinking about this place.
At last, they arrived in the gigantic room.
Six well designed suits stops in a transparent show glass cylinder.
The blue light beneath them illuminated upward finally disappearing at the top.
"Wow!" Alex couldn't help but marvel at the intriguing showroom.
Tammie walked to a craft table next to a wall and picked a tablet;"You like what you see, don't you?" she said throwing a playful smirk at Alex.
The world seemed to have come to a standstill for Alex as the gorgeous view around Jim entered his sight.

He felt like he was part of a comic book now.
It took Alex a moment before he realized he was drooling pm his jacket.
He closed mouth and cleaned the saliva about to fall off his lips in embarrassment.
Ruff, Tammie and Alvin burst into a laughter a. I they couldn't hold it in anymore.
Alex's expression towards the place bemused then a lot.
"Okay that's enough..." Alex said with a red face.
"I only see three of you here, whose are the other suits?" Alex came to the realization.
Ruff walked to Alex and held his shoulder and they both moved to the suits; "OH that...We shall talk about that latter, that there is yours." Ruff said with a smile pointing at a blue and white suit.
Alex awed at the mouth-watering piece of art in front of him.
Sheer excitement build up in him as he stared at the suit; "For real!"
"Yep, Alvin made you that yesterday. Do you like it?" Ruff asked.
"No I don't like it..." Alex paused with a momentary serious look.
Alvin at the side couldn't help but clench his heart at what he heard.
"I love it." Alex said with an excited grin.
"Should I try it on now?"
"Of cause you can..."
The glass cylinder opened up making the suit inside more magical.
Alex stretched out his arm as he took a step closer. His eyes roamed around the suit looking for the suit.
But just as his fingertips were a centimeter away from the suit, something unexpected happened.
Alex's Jaws dropped as he watched the suit flow of the into his bracelet with a radiant pixel glow.
But as soon as it completely vanished out of sight, his bracelet glowed radiantly and pixels came out of the bracelet covering his hand upwards.
He looked at the suit build itself up on his body in awe.
After 2 seconds, he had already changed.
"Yeah... Now that's what am talking about baby." Tammie exclaimed.
Alex moved to a mirror to look at his current appearance.
"Wow!"
The suit lay well proportioned and fitted on his body.
The tiny airspaces in the textile radiated with a blue color.
It was overall comfortable for the wearer.
His palm was colored white different from the texture around the arm.
His boots too, clang on to his feet proportionally in a white color.
The same white color covered the sides of his abdomen and a plain white circle lay in the middle of his chest.
He further moves upward a and where the suit covered his neck all the way to the sides of his head.
The hair at the top was left shown making it look some kind of haircut.
The white textile that lay around the eyes matched that of the patches here ad there.
The suit's white and blue designs where out of this world.
"You look amazing champ... But you can't join us until your telepathy is on level 2."
Alex opened his mouth to speak but suddenly, the blue engraved lines on the wall flickered red.
And a loud siren sound filled the entire lab.
The room flickered red repeatedly.
"What's the matter?" Ruff asked.
Tammie clicked on the tablet;"It's a meta."
