KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
PRINCIPAL: Come in!
(Door opens)
INVIGILATOR: Sir, he's done!
PRINCIPAL: Done?
INVIGILATOR: This is not up to three hours yet, how did he do it?
INVIGILATOR: I'm as confused as you are sir. He wrote two exams the same time using his two hands and two pens.
PRINCIPAL: Incredible! Did you search him properly before letting him into the room?
INVIGILATOR: Thoroughly sir, I took his phone before he entered the room.
PRINCIPAL: Hm. It's okay you can leave, I'll handle it.
INVIGILATOR: Yes sir! (He leaves)

Rex is strolling across the open field when Sylvia calls out to him. He turns back and sees her walking towards him.
SYLVIA: Hi!
REX: Hey.
SYLVIA: I was just about going to the library.
REX: Cool! What's up?
SYLVIA: I'm good you?
REX: (Pouts) Same!
SYLVIA: Mind going for a walk?
REX: You said you were going to the library?
SYLVIA: Changed my mind.
REX: (Shrugs) k!
OLIVIA: You should consider rechanging your mind again!
(They both turn to Olivia approaching them)
OLIVIA: My boyfriend is going nowhere with you! (Cheeky smile)
SYLVIA: (Curves her lips) It's just a friendly stroll?
OLIVIA: Well bad thing I'm already here. (Faces Rex and kisses him slowly)
Awed, Sylvia just watched the both of them display in front of her as she stood with her face turned sideways, she couldn't stand the embarrassment any longer and just walked away. Olivia and Rex just watched her walk away before Olivia returned to kissing him though his eyes were fixed on the departing figure of Sylvia.

IN THE LIBRARY
Sylvia enters the library as she moves straight to the extreme where there was a single table with two seats. She settles down on it and places the books she was holding on the table. She opened the books and set to write something but instead she drops the pen and ruffles her hair. She began to loose concentration, she began playing with her pen and hair. Her eyes begins to glisten and slowly she began to cry as she thinks of the humiliation she just faced.
SYLVIA: (Whimpers and soliloquizes silently) I should've given him a chance, he was sincere. (Cries profusely but silently)
She doesn't notice when Kim Eva joins her as she is busy with her sorrows.
She raises her head and sees Kim Eva...
SYLVIA: (Quickly wipes her eyes) H-hey!
KIM EVA: You don't look so good.
SYLVIA: I'm fine! I promise.
KIM EVA: (Doubtful face) A-are you're okay? I'm a good listener if you want to share your problem.
SYLVIA: I'm good!
KIM EVA: (Raises a brow and pouts)
SYLVIA: What are you doing here?
KIM EVA: (Covers her face with the book she held) Reading, why?
SYLVIA: 'Cause I don't think so.
KIM EVA: What're you insinuating? That I don't read?
SYLVIA: No, but that your book is actually upsidedown. (Smirks)
KIM EVA: (Mouths) Fuck! (Drops the book)
SYLVIA: Did you here anything?
KIM EVA: (Rolls her eyes) No...?
SYLVIA: Kim Eva!
KIM EVA: Alright! I overheard you blaming yourself on something.
SYLVIA: (Looks at her sternly with a her brows raised)
KIM EVA: What? That's all I heard I promise.
SYLVIA: Hm.
Sylvia just stares at her books blankly, she then picks up her phone to text Rex but dropped it again; she is totally restless.
KIM EVA: Babe, you seemed to be worried about something, what is it?
SYLVIA: It's nothing serious Kim can you please leave me for now?
KIM EVA: But you look restless...
SYLVIA: (Gradually getting pissed off) Kim!
KIM EVA: (Raises both hands) Alright I'm going (stands up) I'm taking my leave now.
SYLVIA: Yes go, I dont value your company at this moment.
KIM EVA: You'll soon come crying on my shoulder I bet you. (Cheeky smile)
SYLVIA: Whatever!

6:15 PM
KIM EVA: Hey! (Ruffles his hair)
REX: Hi.
KIM EVA: (Seats by him) How was the exam?
REX: Not bad!
KIM EVA: I bet you mean to say "it was like the tip of an iceberg" or something like "I nailed it"!
REX: Yeah, whatever you say. (Smiles)
KIM EVA: Not to be cheesy though but I wish I had a tiny bit of your IQ.
REX: You have more than a tiny bit, at least it's equivalent to your height.
KIM EVA: (Widens her eyes in shock) Do you realize you just insulted me?
REX: (Laughs)
KIM EVA: (Punches him hard) Shit! (Holds her fist in pain) Dude! What is your body made of?
REX: (Smirks) Flesh and bone?
KIM EVA: Naah, I don't think so 'cause your body is far from flesh and bone I think it's just bones with little flesh.
REX: (Laughs) You dumb! It's still the same thing as flesh and bone!
KIM EVA: Fuck you! At least my GP is not below 3.2 so I'm not that dumb.
REX: Over what?
KIM EVA: 4!
REX: If you are to ask me, I'll say that's poor (smirks)
KIM EVA: Well if I won't ask you then it's high.
REX: That's you problem.
KIM EVA: By the way, where did you go for a whole five days?
REX: (Speaks from his subconscious) Somewhere.
KIM EVA: (Looks behind her) D-did you hear something?
REX: (Looks at her without talking) Yes!
KIM EVA: (Shocked) W-what? How?
REX: (Smirks) I learnt it! It's called telepathy, I could speak to you without necessarily moving my lips all I have to do is havef you in my mind. I wasn't kidnapped I mean technically I was, by my guardian angel Araik; she taught me how to use several of my abilities I was novice of. She made me evacuate from this environment into a timeless realm called Nivlekreivore, there I stayed thinking I have only spent thirty minutes only to realise I've spent five days there; I could embark on Astral projection and actually have effect on the environment only that I'll be invisible. About the woods, what happened was an agressive combat between I and Araik.
Kim Eva just stared at him with mouths agape.
10 SECONDS LATER
KIM EVA: (Still staring at him) This is the most unbelievable thing I've heard in this entire year!
JAX: What is it?
Rex and Kim Eva both turns opposite them and sees Jax and Bridgette, they looked at themselves in shock and back to Jax and Bridgette.
BRIDGETTE: We're waiting.
REX: Emm... (Ruffles his hair) I...
KIM EVA: I'll help him. So this is it, Rex finally told me of the reason for his absence for five days it'll blow your mind but yeah I felt the same when I heard it too...
REX: (Intercepts) Kim!
KIM EVA: (Ignores Rex and continues) Could you believe he was sort of teleported into a timeless realm by some kind of wierd being named Araik?
REX: How do you know she's wierd?
KIM EVA: I just know bruh! I mean if she isn't wired she wouldn't have taken you away for five darn days! Who does that?
JAX: Is she hot?
BRIDGETTE: Oh shut up Jax! (To Rex) Does this have to do with your secret?
REX: Yes!
BRIDGETTE: How could you? How could you let yourself be so loose to tell anyone about it?
REX: She kind of figured it out.
BRIDGETTE: 'Cause you was careless!
KIM EVA: Babe calm down, it wasn't his fault I provoked him to doing it.
BRIDGETTE: Is he your boyfriend?
KIM EVA: Ok that's kinda gross though it sound nice. (Raises a brow and pouts) That's not the deal here tho, he used his powers to help me don't ask me.
BRIDGETTE: Powers?
JAX: I'm aware of it.
BRIDGETTE: How come in the only one here who doesn't know anything about it?
REX: I told Jax on my first night in your house. I discovered I had abilities unknown to me until my encounter with Araik my guardian angel.
KIM EVA: That's the wierd being I was talking about.
BRIDGETTE: What kind of abilities?
KIM EVA: Is this some kind of interview 'cause I might soon get sick from this boring discussion.
BRIDGETTE: I deserve to know Kim Eva!
KIM EVA: Why?
BRIDGETTE: If for no other reason, for the fact I'm his elder sister for crying out loud and it's my duty to ensure the well being of my siblings.
JAX: How old are you?
BRIDGETTE: Don't Be a jerk Jax I'm 18 and he's 17!
JAX: Alright but do you realize he's nine thousand four hundred and sixty years older than you?
KIM EVA: (To Rex) Sssssssshit! Dude are you being serious? You didn't even me tell this.
REX: Sorry.
KIM EVA: You just defaulted one of the bro codes, a bro's secret is the others bro's secret!
BRIDGETTE: Not when it comes to his identity Kim Eva!
KIM EVA: The last time I checked the code there was no excemption. (Raises her brows with a cheeky smirk)
BRIDGETTE: (To Rex) Does mom and dad know about this?
REX: Yeah. (Nods)
JAX: What did they say?
REX: I'm quitting the school by next term.
KIM EVA: What?
BRIDGETTE: I thought as much! (Raises both hands up)
KIM: I never knew that behind that cool dad was a strict, annoying...
BRIDGETTE: Kim you do realize it's my dad you're talking about?
KIM EVA: I know that quite well, I don't feel remorseful in any way.
JAX: Rex you sure have a crazy friend,
BRIDGETTE: I tell you!
KIM EVA: In a way I like the sound of that. (Smirks)
REX: Look guys I apologise for breaching our agreement and not telling you about special this earlier but Kim Eva is trustworthy enough.
BRIDGETTE: I don't find her as such.
KIM EVA: I might not be trust worthy but I know I didn't tell anyone you and some other often go at night to the food store to steal chocolate bars. (Cheeky smile)
BRIDGETTE: (Gasps)
JAX: (Mocks) Food thief!
REX: Or rather say chocolate thief?
BRIDGETTE: Shut up you two!
KIM EVA: You now find me trust worthy don't you?
BRIDGETTE: (Glares at her)
KIM EVA: I take that to be a yes. (Taps her)
BRIDGETTE: About your abilities Rex, is it some of super powers?
JAX: Yes.
BRIDGETTE: (To Jax) Seen it before?
JAX: Nope. Show I and Bridgette Kim already seen it.
BRIDGETTE: Are you daft? Can't you see we're in an open environment?
REX: We could go to the woods!
KIM EVA: Naaah... It's heavily guarded as a result of the mysterious felling of trees which is no more a mystery to any of us here, the school authority fears there might be something or people out there which I think is kinda lame.
REX: You all come with me.
BRIDGETTE: To where?
REX: The woods! (Begins walking away)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Rex, Kim Eva, Jax and Bridgette got closer to the entrance.
BRIDGETTE: Rex are you sure you're not making a mistake?
REX: Trust me!
As they approached the entrance the security guards spotted them.
GUARD 1: (Yells) Hey! Stop there all of you now!
GUARD 2: Hands above your head!
(They all obeyed except Rex)
BRIDGETTE: Oh no! This doesn't look good.
KIM EVA: We're definitely screwed!
JAX: I hope you have a plan?
Rex just stared at the guards.
