"That's very odd" Said Lucius.
They all screamed and turned to face him. His face reacted in no way at all show he hadn't the slightest emotion.
"My sister asked me to invite you to a study hall. She insisted on it because she thinks it will be beneficial to us all" Said Lucius.
"Yeah that would be nice" Scarlet nervously scratched her head.
"Here is the location" Lucius handed them all a piece of paper. "I wrote it in braille just for you Hex" Lucius added before walking away.
"Is it just me or is he super nice?" Hex somehow looked in his direction.
"He is really nice. Even today during bio he got some kids out of trouble even after they bullied him. Like what kind of person does that?" Scarlet set her head down on the lunch table.
"Nice guys finish last" Hex sipped from her coffee with a mischievous look.
"Well then the supermodel wants to hang out" Scarlet pointed at Aurora with her spoon.
The bell rang and they skipped away from each other.
"Hey I heard that the weird kid is some sort of psychopath and that he almost killed someone before he came here" Grinda sneered at Aurora.
"He is super nice he would never hurt anyone" Aurora started with a hint of anger.
"What? Are you friends with that freak or something?" Replied Grinda.
"Matter of fact I am and he is really nice so just leave him alone"
"Why would you be friends with him? He has those messed up eyes and his girlfriend probably just likes him because he has money or something" Grinda crossed her arms and looked away from Aurora.
"I like his eyes and just so you know she loves him!" Aurora spoke a bit louder that she intended.
She felt a bit of jealousy when she said that. He had someone who loved him and she was beautiful. She felt envy towards his girlfriend. She was so beautiful she could have any person she wanted. She probably has a perfect life too. Everything she could ever want was at her fingertips. Aurora felt terrible for thinking of her than way. School eventually ended and they all meet up.

"Hey everyone so nice to have you all coming with us" Athena spoke with a joy that seeped into everyone.
"Where is Lucius?" Aurora looked around wondering if he had gotten lost.
"He should be here soon" Athena looked around her perfect blonde hair swaying side to side.
Her eyes were absolutely breathtaking to say the least. Everything about her was too perfect.
"Let's go find him" Morrie took the first steps and everyone followed.
They walked around school and couldn't find him. Aurora saw Allison talking to someone or at least following him.
"Hey come back here stop ignoring me!" Yelled Allison.
She was attempting to get Lucius's attention. Athena told everyone to wait. She wanted to see what would happen.
"Listen you, I don't have time for your complaining I have somewhere to go".
She blocked him and Morrie made a passive-aggressive sounding humming.
"I am just asking if you think I look better than Athena. All you have to do is tell me the truth!" Allison stood between Lucius and his destination.
"No, I don't think you're better looking" Lucius spoke in a voice so calm it seemed to soothe Allison.
"She's not prettier than me. I am the hottest girl at school. I know you think about what it would be like to kiss me, don't you. Just admit it you think I'm pretty" Allison had blonde hair and sapphire eyes.
"I think more about killing myself than I think about kissing anyone" Lucius had tone so dead serious it sent chills down her spine.
Allison stood silent for just a moment and hugged him. She said something to Lucius that resulted in him patting her head once she let go.
Aurora knew Allison’s older sister had lost a battle against depression. Her sister had taken her own life two years ago. Very few people knew just how much had pushed her to do so.

"Did you hear her?" Aurora looked at Hex knowing she had.
"Yeah she said don't worry life will get better. Just you wait and see" Hex had a slight smile on her lips.
Lucius walked away and they all ran off to where they were meant to find him. He arrived a minute later.
"What are you all so uptight about" Said Lucius.
"We were worried you got beat up" Morrie whispered in her sleepy voice.
"Thanks for checking up on me then" Said Lucius.
"Let go" Athena took Lucius's hand.
They all walked to the nice part of town and walked right up the mansion. Morrie unlocked the gate and they entered the house. It was spotless. Everything was perfect.
"This place is pretty dark" Hex pretended to look around for a short while.
Everyone except Lucius laughed.
"Let's go to my room" Morrie gestured to the room. They walked up the massive staircase. Athena decided to sprint up the stairs with Hex on her back. "Over here" Morrie opened the door to her room.
The room was decorated with pictures of three different men in a uniform.
"Who are they?" Asked Scarlet.
"My dad's and my brother" Morrie spoke with pride.
"Where are they" Aurora seemed to regret her words once she saw Morrie's face.
"I don't like to talk about it" Morrie looked away from everything.
Lucius hugged Morrie. She smiled and held him back.
Nobody knew why the weird girl had hard times making friends. It was because she was afraid she would lose them. She was still afraid to feel close to someone knowing she could lose them.
Aurora could see the man who seemed to be her brother placing a long sleeve sweater on her. She was still far to small for it to fit her in any way. The picture frame had the words "Good bye" At the bottom. It must have been the last day she saw him.
The girl everyone only avoided because she looked like she hadn't slept in weeks, had stayed up late every night hoping to see her fathers and brother walk home and hold her again. She never stopped hoping. She missed her brother who would read her bedtime stories of brave warriors and noblemen, being one himself. He was her hero and so were her fathers. And if a picture was worth a thousand words she would burn them all just so she could tell them three. Lucius held her for a while and she began to smile.
"So once we are done with our homework let's go out for a movie or something." Said Lucius.
They all got their homework out and Lucius being the person he was, helped everyone finish in minutes.
"So now that we are done how about we go watch a movie." Said Lucius.
"How about we play hide and seek." Said Morrie.
"Yeah." Hex smiled with the look of mischief.
"We can call out when you are the seeker." Said Lucius tapping Hex.
"Let's start, who is going to be it first" Athena looked at Lucius.
"Lucius?” Implied Morrie and Athena.
"Well, you should start hiding" Said Lucius as he began to count down from one hundred.
"I got you" Athena picked Hex up and ran away.

Body Modifier: Energy Required
Aria ate a fish. [Energy: 2] Finished, he ate another fish. [Energy: 2] ... [Energy: 3] Without realizing it, he had finished 5 fishes.

His mind then drifted imagining which one he would use the energy for. Should he use it on his eyes, so it shot a beam of laser, like a certain bespectacled mutant? Should he use it on his bones, so it regenerated infinitely, like a certain character from an anime? Should he use it on his brain, so he became a genius, like a scientist with a bald head? Or should he use it on his vital organ, so that he became the manliest person in the world? While he was imagining things, suddenly his ears felt pinched. "Ouch!" "Didn't mom already say you can't play with fire, you brat?!" There he realized, knowing that no matter what he chose, he was still a child in front of his mother.
