Chapter 5 - Chapter 2

Unexpected Outcome

The bell went, and everyone hurriedly escapes the lesson. Everyone was into the after school chatting and lingering. I was about to join Tommy and the others when I was stopped by someone.

To my surprise, it was a girl. she is styled in bleached blonde straight shiny hair, skin tone slightly pale, eye colour deep blue, very deep blue. She is dressed in a mini skirt that almost touches her knees and a pretty friendly smile.

" Hey, you're the new guy, I'm Cynthia, nice to meet you" extending her hand engaging in a handing shake.

I accepted her greeting and replied also giving my name. She seems pretty friendly so I thought to spend a bit more time with her.

She further went and said, "I'm a student advisor, and I would like to show you around since that's basically my role anyway"

I simply said yes, its very rare for a pretty girl ask me to join them in anything. We were then interrupted by Tommy and the rest of the guys shouting for me to hurry and attend the try-outs. I was a bit upset but I had to tell her I have to go.

She then waved and said, "meet me tomorrow at recess"

I replied with a hand expression that meant ill be there, And she smiled a very pretty smile.

The school Field is a massive training area. Already other try-outs students were warming up on the field. The senior football players were on the field getting a little pep talk from the coach.

The training exercise began, we were told to do 20 laps around the field and follow warm up instructions from the team captain. We then went into a small defence tactic than a throwing activity with the senior quarterback.

When it came unto my turn I noticed the many spectators sitting, I could hear Angelo cheering in the backgrounds. I also noticed the shady guy from earlier, mysteriously, gazing at me. I was about to pass the ball to the quarterback When I noticed the shady guy, not in his seat. I then saw him talking to a shadier guy further away from the field. Then suddenly, what seems to be a reflection of metals gashing startled me, I was so caught up that I didn't notice everyone staring at me then realize how I flung the ball past the goal over the fence and in a neighbouring home.

I took off, an effort to get a closer look at what was going on. When I got a better view of the scene, I notice the two characters holding what seems to be swords. But what really startled more was the intensely glowing eyes of both characters. One was fiery red and the other was stunning blue. Then a feeling took me over, a feeling, just like last night when I was dreaming, It felt like a spark of rage, I could feel a fiery sensation in my eyes as if I should protect the shady guy earlier on, before I knew it , my body was pulsing with rage, my limbs got heavy and I lounged after the strange character. He flew at least 10 feet away colliding with a nearby building. Realizing what was going on, two against one, he fled the scene.

I noticed the mysterious guy I saved was injured, his right arm was slit, maybe during the battle with the other guy.

I offered help but he refused and left the area heading in the direction of a dark forest. I then returned to the field. The coach came over asking me why I have left the field. He then told me to come tomorrow for another try-out with some other chosen few.

"with a throw like that, you'd sure come in handy".

I was still a bit moved by the earlier action of mine, It got me guessing.

who am I, what am I?
