"You know you are the only one who didn't laugh at my name ehh." Sandy looked at Neil "why?"
"Because I know everything mate.... Everything."
"You saying my mum lack naming kids too?".
"Nope... Your mum might have a reason why she called you by that name." Neil smiled.
Silence
"The teacher.... She's sorry she said that." Neil said
"How did you know that." Sandy barked
"She cried Sandy." Neil said calmly "she didn't mean to say those words.... But you've got to put your vocabulary in check, because not everyone can withstand your words."
Silence.
"And I know it's all because of where you grew up... If you're are not strong enough, you get oppressed." Neil looked at Sandy and saw shock written all over his face.
"Did you cross your boundaries by reading my mind?" Sandy asked
"I did it when I first met you mate... But now I vow to you I will never do it.... nor leave your side." Neil stretched out his knuckles
"You better." Sandy knuckled out too and their fist met.
"From now on mate.... We are brothers." Neil said
"But you will call me big bro." Sandy teased
"Not a chance." Neil replied almost immediately.
.

Neil and Sandy got into class though Sandy still look angry but he seemed okay but his hands are already knuckled up, without looking at the tutor... He went to his chair and sat down. Still staring at his desk and looking a bit pissed.
"Now that you're back.... Let's get to our daily basics." The tutor said, smiling
"What kind of gift is she possessing?" Sandy thought trying to figure out what her gift "She just says the word and it happens... Is she using puppeteering powers? No that can't be it."
Creak...
Delia opens the door bringing the class's attention to her, she stood by the door like someone who has done something bad but the tutor understood her gesture and gave her a nod. She moved to her chair eyes down not minding the stare of everyone.
"Now that we are complete." The tutor said "let's begin the daily routine... And I believe you remember how it's done?"
Her eyes were on Neil before going over to Sandy then to her rooster on her desk. She began to call the students in three rows.
"Chiyo Kenshin.... Cheryle Myles..... And Clint Daren.." She called
"Present.." A little girl shouted, she had a stuffed teddy bear in her arm. Neil knew her but couldn't believe they were in the same class.. Now that's weird. This time she is putting on a barbie kind of gown on , with her hair tied to two opposite side. Bright pink eyes that are filled with hope... Charming. She sits on the third chair on the second row.
"Present."The girl with the unforgiving face answered, she had black hair with dark purple line on it.. The lines were zigzag and horizontal, her eyes had black eye-pencils on it making her look like a vampire.. With a robe-like long sleeves shirt which she rolled to her elbow length, wore gloves that had spikes on it and a long trouser which had some of Sandy's designs on it.. All black in colour, guess she's a Goth. Although the uniform is blue with black designs.. Hers was all black, guess the name Cheryl suits her then. She sat alone at the last seat, first row.
"Present..." The boy answered but he seemed like a girl thought, he had a rose in his hands.. Wait what is a guy doing with rose on all occasion, is he a poet or worse.. Who knows. He is dressed in a long sleeve that was tied at the wrist, it looked like the kind of shirt worn in the ancient Britain. And a slim feet trouser. His hair glows like that which has gone through thorough treatment, strangely it had a light marine green color and extremely long to the hips. He should have been a girl. He sat on the first row; second seat, Jayden's seat mate.... Yuck.
"Clint ehh.. I hope he doesn't play any stupid thing on me." Neil thought making a comical face.
"Delia Williams.... Freda Adams.... Glen Johnathan."
"Present.." Almost like a whisper.. Thats definitely Delia and she sat at the first seat on the second row alone.
"Present.." A girl with a hard face spoke.. She had pink hair which is very short to the ears.. Few strands fell to her right eye covering it from being seen, she had deep yellow eyes that can pierce fear into a full grown man. Her uniform was the school code but opened at the breasts level, wow; those are nice breast she gat there... Snap out of it Neil.. Eyes down you upcoming pervert.
She sat at the same seat with Chiyo, looks like that was the one she was anxious to meet that day.
"Present..." The guy that was zapped answered, he had deep blue hair color and a promising smile, blue eyes too that matched his hair. his hair is spiking at the back of his head. Two strands fell by his face. His seat was located at the second row behind Delia's.
"Jade Wong... Jayden Wong.... Lyn Evan."
"Present." A musical voice answered.. That's Jade's voice, nice pitch she has there just that she isn't a musician... She would kill somebody with her voice, good thing that it's not her gift because if it were; he would have been in a illusional dreams. Her seat was at the door side on the first row.
"Present.." Jayden answered with a rocky voice making a gesture of guitar. He sat close to Jade, although behind her; which is the second chair in the first row. Guess he can handle Mr he/she... It looked like they are twins.
"Present.." Another melody... She looked lively and pompous, like she was the president's daughter.. Wait, she looked like that girl that zapped Glen... Neil swallowed, she would be trouble then. Not the power but beauty, she has a pretty yellowish orange hair that had just undergone shampoo war.. Her eye had a golden eye colors like Neils.. And her uniform was short, really short. The shirt is at the belle point and the skirt just above the knee revealing some part of her laps. Now someone will die of bleeding, guess the name Lyn took effect because her body shape is killing me right now..... Neilllllllll..... Neil turned to see her seat was at the second row, second chair; Glen's seat mate.
"Ned Dwane.... Reece Malcolm.... Rory Brandon... And Zoe Logan."
"Actively Present..." Yeah.... Now that's Mr nerdy Ned looking all smart again, his long well combed tan hair which he tied at the back if his head letting the rest linger in the air. He let a strand fly in front of his specks, looking like a gentleman who doesn't break any rules... Not even one, he sat the same seat with jade. Now Neil wonder how she copes with that.
"Present..." A gentle voice answered answered. He has a really short grey hair that falls on his forehead.. Another smart type and quiet one too, Neil has observed during the first day. He was a man of few words, really quiet. guess his name is Reece after all and he sat with Sandy....
"Present..." A guy with a monks dot but this time on his forehead opened his eyes to reveal calm brown eyes.. His body color seems dull but his hair is all spiky and long.. He tied it at the back of his head just like Ned, letting some free at the back and it's colours where like that of sand... That kind of color Neil can't figure out. He looks like a religious person this so called Rory, he will be nice to hang out with although this is the first time Neil heard him speak. And he sat close to the girl that flirted with Neil that day... Good thing this guy is holy; if he wasn't a monk, he wouldn't have escape her deadly trap that leads to nothing but the third chamber in hell.
"Present..." She finally spoke.. Guess her name is Zoe after all and it suits her forgetting her flirting aspect, looks like she and Neil will become really good friends. She might not be the kind of person he picture her to be. Looks like Neil is already falling for her.
"And now we have two new admits in our class.." The tutor said as she stared at Neil and sandy who was behind him smiling.... That odd smile of hers is really charming but dangerous. "And their names are...."
"Uncle and sally..." Chiyo yelled
"Seriously.... Uncle?" Neil thought trying to swallow the words so as not to yell. Though his fingers were in the air wriggling. Neil felt like a fish pulled out of water, his face dropped like someone who had just survived a heart attack. "She.... She... She... Uncle...." came out of Neil mouth, though it wasn't heard.
"Hey you failed prototype barbie with a rejected stuffed bunny." Sandy stood up red faced with anger, yelling and pointing at Chiyo who's smiling face had dropped and is about to cry. "Who are you calling sally?"
Freda got up and stared at Sandy with the eyes of no good intentions of sparing him, her eyes changed to a hungry lion that is about to devour it's prey
"You care to repeat that?" She asked
Sandy began to shake with sweat tricking his body as he grinds his teeth like he was cold or just returned from a ten minutes refrigerator treatment.. "N..... N... N... Noooo." He shakily said.
"Now apologize to her."
"Am sorry your highness.... Promising to never do it again." Sandy said under going a bowing ritual.. Some words fell of his mouth that was unrecognizable.
Neil turned to look at Chiyo, she was moody because of Sandy's yell... He smiled
"Hey kiddo..." He called and she stared at him " The name's Neil okay?"
"But can I call you uncle?" She asked like someone on the edge of crying.
"Maybe.." He shrugged
"Neil Randolf. " She pointed to Neil then moved to Sandy " And sandy swan... You are both welcome to class D."
Surprisedly the class never laughed at the mention of Sandy's name.. Guess they were sorry they laughed in the first place.
"My name is Kira Wade... And am the class D tutor, and also your training teacher."
Ding.... Ding.... Ding.....
"Now our daily routine is complete... You may proceed to the next section." She looked from her rooster to the students
Miss Kira picked up her rooster while looking at Neil and Sandy, she marched down to the door and exited the class without another word. The class went into another outburst of the daily ritual, Neil sat all alone on the first sit on the third row and seemed okay with it after all Sandy has paired with someone already. He was about to stand up when he bumped into a soft surface .... Boobs... Again.... He heard a little moan.
He looked up and saw the flirting smile on the person's face, that same flirting smile he saw before that day.
"Guess we did meet again." Zoe said "It seems we were destined to be together after all."
Neil sheepishly giggled, can't he just mam up for once.. He saw Sandy left the class without a word. Guess he was still in rage over the incident that happened today.
"May I be excused for a minute?" Neil asked
Zoe understood why Neil had to go, she gestured him to go.
"Go get him tiger." She said and Neil turned back and smiled before running off.
