"Come on Luis, I'll race you to the park"
"Ok! Ready, set, go!"
Me and Daddy are running to the park to play some games.
"Come on Luis, you aren't gonna make it like that!"
"OK!"
I go faster until me and daddy reached the park. Yes, I won!
"Good job Luis!"
He picked me up and started throwing me up. This is fun!
*Alarm clock sounds* Always end at the good part. These dreams just keep on happening, huh. Well, at least they leave me with a good mood. I do my daily morning routine. This past week of practice has expanded my perception to three meters while maintaining accuracy, and of course. The rest is left blurry. I've also been practicing some fatigue relieving while having magic on my had while running. Not much progress in that, but I'm getting there. I finish my morning routine, have a small chat with Tara in the morning and head out for school. Why was this narrative so quick? Cause I can finally find the source of what I've been wondering this past week. Who the hell keeps staring at me?! What do they want?! Did I do something to them?! Today I'll find out. Wait, find out and then what? Confront him... or her? I didn't actually think about that. But maybe I should, now that I can sense them It becomes somewhat annoying that I feel stares from behind my back. Of course, that's if I can gather the courage to do so. I'm really no good with strangers, or in a blunter way to put it, I'm antisocial. Well except when talking to people with higher authority since you need to stay formal and shit. So I'm usually fine with teachers and counselors. This is kind of interesting since because of this I spend most of my time helping and talking to teachers to fend off loneliness but in return, I end up as "a good kid". People's perception of someone is always an interesting thing. Well because I'm viewed like the teachers' pet I don't have friends in school. (Author's note: That's not why I just don't wanna waste stories since school is irrelevant in this arc.) The train gets to my stop and I get off. I do the same training going to school as I've done over the last two weeks. I dimish my sensing radius to work on reflexes and to see how much I can alter it and how much detail I can see if I focus my sensing radius. I get to school after a small jog from the station and head inside. As usual, I head to the library and read some books in anatomy and biology until the bell rings and then I head to period 1. Alright, this period is my first chance at finding out who is it that keeps on being annoying. I use my sensing power around the room however the teacher started writing notes and explaining a new difficult topic. Great, just what I needed, now I probably won't find out during the first period of school since the person will probably be paying wholehearted attention during class, and so will I. Alright then, the person I sense doesn't share the second and third period with me, so I'll have to wait until fourth. Second and third period felt so long, even with the wind magic training and playing around with my sensing it still felt like an eternity. The bell rang and I quickly headed for fourth period. I get to fourth period and sit. The bell rings.
"Alright, everyone! Make sure you have your stuff, we are going to the assembly."
Oh great, I forgot about that we have an assembly today. Ughhh, it's a two-period assembly! And I volunteered to help, Wait, I could use this to find out who's staring at me. I get to the assembly and start sensing, wait everyone is staring, oh crap, I'm at the front, so most people are probably staring. The assembly finishes. Next is lunch. Well, no matter how hard I tried I wouldn't be able to sense the person even if I tried to in here just like at the assembly so I'll just leave my sensing range to its normal 2 meters. I finished eating. I don't want to be in the lunchroom alone. Someone, help! Oh looks like help just arrived
"Need some help, Mr. Garcia"
He's carrying a lot of books
"Yeah, just go get some books from 107 and bring them to 303."
I do so and this takes the rest of the period. Well, that was a good way to keep distracted
"Thanks, Luis, always such a kind and helping kid."
"It's alright."
I don't really feel like taking much credit for the help I give since I do it to avoid situations where I'm alone all the time. The bell rings and 6th period ends. I don't have 7th period with the person in question. But I do have the final two periods with them. 7th period comes and goes, alright onto the next period! I head to 8th period, we left off on an easy topic, okay, good. I'll expand my search radius. After a few minutes, I feel the staring. So it's that person! Well the person is behind me and I don't have a reason to look back nor do I know who they are. So I'll just keep a tab on the person and when the bell rings I'll sneak a peak and see the person. The period was long but the bell rang. I sneak a peak, what the hell!? It's a girl who I don't have the slightest clue about. Well, I barely know anybody in our class so that isn't much to say. And it's not like I saw her face well since I just took a peak. I head off to 9th period and I kept getting the same stare from her. Yep, it's definitely her. So now, do I confront her? But what do I do? I can't just talk to her that'd be embarrassing. And like that I finish 9th period, however, I couldn't hear much because I was a bit too conscious. What should I do? Does she have feelings for me or something? But that can't be right, I don't think I've done anything that would warrant those feelings from her. I'm not getting anywhere like this. I'll just confront her and get a grip on myself. I decide to keep her presence in check and then left the school the same way she left. All right, I'll do this. Let's go... wait aren't I a stalker right now. I think I'll just head home for today.

This time I'm training my enhanced muscles my doing pushups with just two hands, straight up. Some situps with weights on me. Running extremely fast and other things. But I was a bit distracted and Tara could tell. So after we finished practiced
"Luis, what's going on with you today."
"Wha-what do you mean," I say averting my eyes.
"You are a horrible liar, you know."
"Yes, ok. Mrs detective, now, can we go in?"
"Not before you tell me what it is."
I look at her, making a star figure blocking the way down.
"You know, if you ran as much as your mouth does during questioning, you'd be a great marathoner."
"Shut up."
"And also," I say as I approach her "You forgot that I can just jump over this ledge," I say as I jump down, "and hold onto the railing!" as said as I did and headed to my room.
I got to my room and before trying to think about what happened I did some mana assimilation and fell asleep.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
I woke up the next morning and started my daily morning routine. I was still a bit distracted but not as much. I finished and left for school did the usual thing in the morning and then first period started... and so did the staring. What's her problem does she have something to say?! The day goes on and I can't concentrate like this. I'll just confront her, If I am getting the wrong idea is fine; since today is Friday, and I don't want to deal with this over the weekend. Classes finish and I follow her. I speed up in order to catch her. Just act don't think! Just act don't think!*faster*Just act don't think! Just act don't think! I grabbed her wrist. Crap, why did I do that. I'm blanking out a bit.
"Ummmmmmm... do you have something to say to me?"
Hope I didn't sound too awkward.
"..."
"I-I-If I'm wrong it's fine It's just that-"
"I do."
"...Okay then, can y-you tell me?"
"Not here...let's go somewhere *mumble* with no *mumble* people."
"?!?!...Okay then."
We change locations to a spot on the school which is not gone to frequently. Oy, oy, oy, what's with this atmosphere. Now that I have a look at her she is a bit pretty. She has long brown hair, with green eyes, about 5 cm shorter than me so about 160 cm. Anyways, is this really a confession. For now I'll just let her prepare herself and I will do some preparations of my own as well.
"Ummm"
She spoke, crap that scared.
"Well, I was wondering...if," she said averting her eyes and looking a bit embarrassed. "Ummm...if."
