"I have a tale to tell you."
"You get training and tale telling? COOL!" Lara said as she sat down with Lydia.
"Yep, that's the fun part of the training." Lydia replied.
"Now listen, like I said before, Damien is from another planet and he is not the only one out there, there are millions of them, and Damien is a special one for some reason."
"What reason?" Lydia asks.
"I went to the Demons Plane-" Master was going to continue his sentence but got interrupted by both the girls.
"YOU WENT TO THEIR PLANET???"
"Well ya, I got an invitation from there, not only me but other 3 people also got invited, we went there to visit the planet. And I saw Damien there and he was maybe 6 or 7 by that time. He wasn't treated very well there but they protected him so much that they wouldn't let us even go near him."
"Wow... why do they treat him badly, if he is very important to them?"
"I will tell you the reason later. Anyway you will one day meet those 3 people."
"This is great and all... BUT WHAT ABOUT SCHOOL!!! WE GOTTA GO TO SCHOOL LYDIA" Lara said as she got up in her feet.
"Ummm I have to.... train..."
"But what about school?"
"Oh, the clone will handle it!"
"The WHAT?!"
"Yeah... all this time you were talking to my clone..." Lydia said. Lara stood there trying to process what she just said.
"So... was that reason why you failed the exams?"
"Yeah..."
"Hmmm. Old man, It's not really healthy to keep her on training. She needs rest, She herself is a teenager."
"I know."
Lara nodded and left them.
"Your friend seems to take care about your health."
"Yeah, she does, her mom is a nurse so maybe cause of that."
-------------FLASHBACK--------------- (5 months ago)
"Isn't this our first sleepover!" Lydia asked as they both were playing UNO.
"But we went for two days trip to a beach 2 years ago right? And last year to a dessert for two days right?" Lara asked.
"Yeah but I am sleeping in your house for the first time, so... this is our first sleepover in each other's houses."
Both the girls were talking and having fun, watching some videos, and gossiping about other classmates, afterwards the topic changed to Health and related things.
"Well I got stones before cause I did not drink much water" Lydia said as she kept her card on the table.
"WHAT!? YOU GOT STONES?? YOU IDIOT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?"
"Cause I thought you wouldn't be interested in things like these."
"You know what?" Lara said as she got off her bed. Lydia saw Lara going to her small refrigerator and saw her searching for things.
"Ummm... What are you doing?" Lydia asked.
"I hate the fact that you don't take care of yourself. So here you go, drink this whole thing." Lara said as she handed a 300 ML water. Lydia gulped as she saw how big it was.
"DRINK IT!!!"
------------10 MINS LATER--------------
"I will never....listen...to....you...." Lydia was blanked out as she drank a 300 ML water in one go.
"It was for your betterment."
"Kids! My husband brought Ice for you two!" It was Annie, Lara's mom who was waiting for both the kids to come.
They both went to the kitchen and they took the ice cream out of the freezer.
"It's really cold..."
"I know right!" Lara said. She took a ice cream scooper and tried to dig in... but then... she could't cause...
"The Ice cream is.... ice stone... "
They tried really hard to divide the ice cream, trying to hit it with hammer and it still did not break.
"Do you want me to try?" Lydia asked.
"You? LOL don't make me laugh!" Lara said it in a disrespectful manner. Both of them laughed it off.
-------------------back to present---------------
"Lydia-Chan?" Master called out as he saw Lydia who was in deep thought. She heard master's voice and then snapped out of it quickly.
"What were you dreaming about?"
"Oh it's nothing."
"Anyway there is one more thing I need to tell you about, your eyes turn green whenever you are in your suit. Which is helpful for people to not find out who you are as you are having black eyes without the suit. But when your emotions become too much, it turns green, especially when you are angry."
"wow, that's really cruel."
---------------FEW DAYS LATER-------------------
Lydia was sitting in her classroom with Lara beside her and Almer sitting in the bench behind them. Both Lydia and Lara were learning math, mainly Lara teaching Lydia as she was missing her classes.
"You know what, It is kinda suspicious that whenever both of you both are getting free time...you guys study instead of that girly gossips you do..." Almer said as he was sitting in his chair and his hands behind his head.
"SUS-SUSPICIOUS? WHY-WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?" Lydia asks nervously.
Lara hit Lydia's back indicating her to stop over reacting.
"I don't know, my brain is also telling me to study cause you guys are." Almer said as he took his French text book out. Lydia and Lara left out a heavy sigh in relief.
By then a boy came to their class, he had blonde hair which reached till the top of his neck and his eyes were the colour of the blue sunny sky, his height was a bit short.
He looked around and spotted Almer, and went to his direction and asked him.
"You are Almer Wayne right?"
"Yeah..."
"I am Benjamin and I am from 9th grade."
"Thanks for giving me the information about something that I wouldn't really care about." Almer replied in a nonchalant way.
"Oh, that's not why I am here for, I belong to the Sapphires, and the captain of the Sapphires told me to bring you back to the badminton team. We, Sapphires has been losing every year, especially the badminton team. and you were the captain of the middle school team of badminton..."
"The fact that you know all of this about me is creepy...and how do you knows that I was the captain?"
"We both were in the same team in middle school...."
"Ummm... Okay..... Anyway kid, It's actually a waste of time to go for it, and I am too lazy anyways." Almer says as he yawns very loudly.
"Okay...." Benjamin says nervously as he leave the class. Is there a way that can make Almer convinced?
