Chapter 5 - Chapter V: THE SECRET

"Hey! Are you okay?", he asked, everything still does not sinked in.

I am now in my—our dorm, I heard, I have a roomate but I do not have any clue about her.

"About your death defying question earlier...", he smiled as he joked about my reaction earlier.

"Yes Ezra, I am 208 years old. Two, zero, and an eight.",he said. He is that old? I mean like what? Is that sorcery or something? Oh my gosh! Somebody help me!

"Tw-two hundr-ed eigh-t?!",what in the world? He laughed at my reaction. Well, they cannot blame me with how reacted because in my world—because this one is not mine, I guess, that is not usual, 70 is the average life of humans in this country. Is he a descendant of Methuselah, are they blood related or something?

He laughed at m—at my reaction, he signaled me to sit down using his hands. I think this is the where all my question and confusions will be solved.

We stayed in silence for few minutes so I decided to open the conversation.

"Mister Ge—"

"PG, call me PG Ezra.", I nod, okay fine.

"PG, I am so confused right now, I am so bombarded with questions running through my head. This day was full things I did not expect, because this not how my life functions after all. I need answers PG, I need it so bad.",my tears starts to fall, but I managed to compose myself.

"I know Miss Aguste. That is why I need you to listen, lend your ears to what I will say.", he said as he stand and put his both hands on his pants' pocket.

"Hmm...so I should I start this? Uhm okay.", I looked at PG as think that he start the explanation about everything—I think.

"First question I would answer is about your query about the university's name—Sodality. Well Sodality is an organization...", he gestured through the air as if he swipped something there and viola! A holographic presentation of what he was saying.

"...not your typical organization though. We are all different. We have different types of people here, including me, Yohan, and even you Miss Aguste. All of us.", I smirked, I hope those people outside knew about this thing called difference. I redeemed my focus to PG who is know talking he looks so passionate sharing those information to me.

"I will go straight to the point, we have this 'thing' that others do not have. I know this may be ambiguous to you soonest my dear, you will see and understand what I am saying.",smiled at me, as if he is like encouraging me or uplifting my mood. PG has this kind of energy where you can feel safe and positive around him.

"We believe that we are normal, we eat what people, we talk how people talk, even though there is a bit of difference.",who are they—or should I say 'we'?

"We live in secrecy for years, but our existence has never been a secret...",so somebody know there existence, then this is not the television or newspapers?

"...the government, your government knows our existence for years now Miss Aguste, they call us—mutant.", the government?! Wow! They kept this a secret? For what? Why?

Somebody knocked on the door.

"Hello PG, here are the books the you asked me to get from the library.",a beautiful girl entered the office, she has beautiful eyes, she got a mole under it which makes her more attractive. She looks familiar, I have seen her somewhere, I think. She put the books on PG's desks.

"Miss Cim, I really can rely on you.", Cim? Well that was pretty familiar, I just cannot remember it.

"Oh! By the way Miss Cim, I wiuld like you to meet, Miss Aguste, she is new in our school.", she face my direction offered her hand.

"Hi, Ezra Celestine Aguste.", I introduced myself first. No reasons I just felt the urge to.

"Hello! I am Lauren Cim, welcome to the academy!", Oh! Nice name Laur—wait, she is one of the missing ladies aired in the news! Why is she here?
