《Kingdom of Earthos》Chapter 17: A job as a janitor and an enticing offer.
Advertisement
Things looked horrible for Eagle and Bob. They had to leave the School of the Beast and look for job considered low ranking by selfish society. Eagle became a rubbish cleaner (he was rejected in his application to work in Earthos Bird Park) where he could do his favorite thing: bird watching and the pay was much better.
Bob became a janitor in School of the Beast and told Eagle, "I am going to enjoy the rest of my life watching the next batch of students."
"See you later, Bob. I guess you have a better offer than I have. Where are you living now?"
"Staying in an accomodation provided for me in the school where food is provided. In other words, I will still be on school grounds".
"Can we catch up for a game sometime?"
"Maybe but as you have known me all these years, I am a hermit. It is winter now and I would prefer to remain alone. Time for hibernation. See you later". Bob and Eagle went their seperate ways forever.
Eagle lived in a room which was rented out by the clothing shop owner named Sarah who had promoted Mads to become her second in charge. It felt like old times in school as Mads was dating as usual.
One day, when Eagle came back from work, Sarah approached him and said, "Someone like Mads can't stay single can't she?"
"She certainly can't"
"She told me that you have a crush on Tomi, have you attempted to ask her out?"
"Never got the chance to".
"You should try. She comes over to visit Mads from time to time".
"Right. Here is the rent money. I have to go now".
The place Eagle was living was convenient as both public transport and the beach are nearby. The shopping mall where the cinema is located is only five hundred metre away. In addition, he could see his school building and the accomodation with seven colours which brought back memories both good and bad. Tomi who visited the shop from time to time now greeted Eagle warmly but she never apologised nor considered him boyfriend material. For the past, he wandered why Jake had turned on him and ruined his social life at school.

His answer came a week later at the shopping mall. Eagle had just finished a day's work and is now having his lunch in the food court. He had tried to ask Mad's knowing it is her break time to join him but she had declined as she was meeting up with her boyfriend. Shortly after he hang up, he was approached by four men and four women. Two of the men and two of the women were wearing red shirts while the rest were in purple shirts. The men were in black jeans while the women were in black tight pants. The leader introduced himself as Aiden Red.
"We have come to give you an offer you can't resist. Are you tired of being a loser all your life?"
"Why do you ask me that?"
"We are the ones who gave your former friend Jake the success he had. Everything has been arranged for him including the destruction of your social life. We even gave that to Mona".
Eagle gulped knowing that they were the cost of Jake's success and betrayal as well as Mona getting fired.
"You are a smart man. I believe you have already caught on. We are not asking for much. We just want a blood contract".
"What do I get as proof".
"An inusitive man aren't you", Aiden briefly turned into a cape cobra before turning back into his human form.
"I mean what you give me before I consider making the blood contract".
"We will give you the ability to get more money and charm which you never had in high school. Once you have obtain these, we will visit you again and signing the contract will be made compulsory or we can do the blood contract here. Don't worry nobody can see us as we are in another dimension now. What is your call?
"How did we get in another dimension?"

"Our powers".
Thinking it over, Eagle had always been a failure and at least known by one by his parents, peers, and most whom he had come into contact with.
"Tired of being pitied. Take our initial offer".
"Alright I will take your power but without the blood contract".
"Fine by me. Let me tell you something Mona never told you. We from the purple and red class are in control of the whole school. We hardly mingle with the others as we spend most of our time as a secret society of our own. We are what others call conspiracy. Enjoy your meal and we will see you later".
Eagle found himself alone once again feeding on his noodles which he had ordered. They were now cold. Once he finished dinner, Eagle immediately began his three month makeover plan, he enrolled himself in a gym which eventually gave him a six pack and he bought a pair of dark glasses. During these three months, he kept as little contact with Mads as possible.
Three months later, Eagle woke up with a new found confidence. He put on a green singlet and brown shorts after taking a shower and walked into the clothing shop from the main door which is connected to the clothing shop. Spotting Mads, wearing her her usual blue denim skirt and pink strapless top, she was wearing new yellow hair pins in her shoulder length brown hair, and her back turned towards him selling clothes to customers. This was the perfect time to surprise her, he called out, "Hi there, Mads. You look so beautiful today. If you are free tonight, you should come out for a dance with me. Dress in your pink dress and high heels which you wore during the dance four years ago. We are going on a date".
Turning around, Mads embraced Eagle just as soon as she had given her customer the change. She actually flipped out a second ago due to the surprise. “Eagle where have you been hiding. I missed you. I thought you have turned into an eagle and flew away for good”.
“Sowhat if I have. I am back to say hello at least am I?”Eagle returned the hug and lifted Mads off the ground causing her to kick and scream.
As soon as Eagle put her down, Mads spoke up."I have a boyfriend as I already said but if you just want to dance, I will come with you tonight as it is Friday and my boyfriend has gone travelling for a week".
"It is not a date then. Let's have some fun. Mind if I buy a pair of green overalls, the once which I bought during the dance".
"No worries, Eagle. Where did you get that confidence from? Have you been working out?” She placed her hand on his abs and chest. “You even wear dark glasses too. They make you look like the man in black, no green”.
"It is just my natural self, baby".
"You seem to have change overnight?"
"I have always been that way, darling. I like your outfit and I can’t take my eyes off you”.
"Oh stop it, you are flattering me".
"Shall I call you ugly instead".
"No way!" Mads stepped closer to Eagle as if to give him a hug before punching him in the chest.
