School bell rang indicating the end of first session. Students and teachers shifted their positions after finishing up classes. Some enjoyed their break time clashing over to the food court.
The play at the ground went on seriously with an head on head situation.
But two of the students sat in a bench with seriousness covering them. They heard nor saw nothing around them making a stern eye contact with each other. Those busy duo's were none other than Jason and senior student Denise.
" Who came to the office. Did he have any connections with me?", Jason asked Denise licking his dried lips.
"That evening I was at our school's office busy with some work assigned for me by the management. My ears got red 'cause of the students who screamed and jostled to return to their houses after that dreary day. It turned out to be peaceful after everyone left the school. My work stretched out for too long, until the dinner. When I was about to leave, a young lad of a moderate height came in. He looked strange with a brisk body with muscles and broad shoulders", Denise explained in detail about the incident that happened before two days.
" Then what happened?", Jason asked with utmost curiosity.
"His heavy breath echoed the whole room and he stood silent until I started a conversation. In addition to his looks, his words were rough and tough too. He kept on looked at the prime locker and he asked for something. I explained that I'd no access to the highly secured locker and it can be opened only by Lexi assistant next to it or the Head of institution. But he didn't offer his ears to me and he again asked me something. Only at his second attempt, I understood that he asked for our schools personal gallery", Denise said.
" Then it absolutely might be him. The reason I chased the old man that day was that he had our school's gallery in his hands. How is that possible to open the locker? Why didn't you stop him?", Jason asked frantically.
" Don't put all your accusations on me! If you hear me out what had happened after that, then you will not blame me", Denise exclaimed in a voice of tremor.
" Then will you give me your explanations about the loader. How's that possible?", Jason questioned him turning completely towards him.
" Of course its impossible for someone unknown to open the loader. No matter how long I explained to him, he just stood firm in his deed and he asked for the gallery again and again. And then I felt he was dumb so, I just turned back and continued my work. All of a sudden I heard a huge noice and as soon as I turned back, my soul almost left me", Denise looked here and there and said in a unusual gruff tone.
" What was that?", asked Jason.
" That young man had done something to have broken the high secured metallic loader. It was smoky everywhere that made me cough rigorously. After few minutes I was able to see him through the smoke and I noticed our school's gallery in his hand. And that loader had a huge hole on its center with great damage. I lost my mind seeing the gallery in his hands. I warned him to hand it over to me saying that he'll get into serious trouble. But he looked at me angrily and he took out something from his other hand which he kept hiding under his big red cloak. I just ran towards him faster to grab the gallery. Its when he took out something from his waist that glowed in blue light. That's all I could remember and I don't know what happened after that!", Denise said with confusion scratching his head.
"What? You remember nothing? Where were you after that incident? Didn't he attack you?, Jason posed a series of questions.
" I found myself on bed with my new blue pajamas in my room. I'd no idea about how I got to my home. I just felt drowsy and nauseous. I ran to mom and asked how I got in. She told me that it was me who came in like usual, tool bath, had dinner and reached bed. I knew that I didn't go there by myself but my mother wasn't ready to listen what happened that night. Rather, she called me crazy and gossiped about me with her friends. What do you think? Do you believe me? You too saw that same thing, right?, Denise lifted Jason's cheeks up and talked to him continuosly to make him believe.
But Jason who got froze upon hearing this, got up and walked somewhere in deep thought. He felt completely zoned out and got lost in confusion.
He thought to himself, "Why didn't he attack him? What was his intention towards me and what's his connection with the gallery? Why did I meet a old one while he saw a youngster?". With those thoughts consuming him he walked past the ground without his knowledge.
He walked continuously and slowly with his heads down. At some point he saw a roughly polished shoe standing infront of him blocking his way. When Jason lifted his head up to see that person, it gave him jitters all over his body.
" Its an unwelcoming expression, my dear Jason! I was longing to see how you'll react on seeing me. Its quite satisfactory! They expelled me under STUDENT PROTECTION ACT for inflicting a student into a perilous state. But I was asked to join again claiming that your current state wasn't because of me. What do you think Jason? Am I of any reason for your injuries and abnormal changes?", asking Prof.Red eye gave a villaineous smirk looking at Jason.
Unable to yell or accuse him for everything that had happened to him, Jason stood in a helpless state, silencing himself, bowing his heads down and holding his hands together. The re-entry of the devious mentor was quite a blew to the young lad.
" Ha...ha...ha... your dad made greatest achievements and brought out massive changes to our land but poor him failed to detect his one and only, dear and loveliest son getting into deadly danger. Then what's the use of your dad always saying his inventions MAKE PEOPLE SAFER AND GROW DEEPER?. It always annoys me to see your dad say that. The CONNECTOR is purely a distraction to the people from reality. He thinks he could change the world from his poor inventions and updates. You inreturn think that you can change your fellow students and friends by pointing out mistakes in my classes and wide seminars", saying Mr.Red eye looked at Jason's hand and said, " Did I make you angry? Just hit me why are you holding on your fist?".
" Your sayings are full of misconceptions, Professor. Please do have a detailed understanding before criticizing anything. The CONNECTOR is a greatest invention, showcasing a wide view of the real world to the people, helping them connect with each other anywhere and everywhere. And I think you have personal issues with my father. So, please don't give one-sided comments 'cause of your private issues with him. It might hinder a developement of a person or a whole country itself. For your kind information, its you who taught us this mindset Professor", Jason said humbly.
Even though the words of Prof. Red eye made him furious, he clutched his teeth and held his fist firmly. He gave an reply which was humble and tough at the same time.
" Wait, Jason! Lets have a fun conversation with my dear student!", saying Mr.Red eye opened his arms and walked towards a student.
Jason turned around and looked at who that was.
" Welcome my dear Groger, the pride of Amazing Intelligence", saying Prof.red eye hugged him.
The sight of Groger made Jason even more annoyed and irritated. Groger was one among the group of students who hated Jason and was like an open enemy to him. They both hated each other and often had their collars at each others hands. His group was like an army under prof.red eye who always mocked and did underhand works behind Jason's back to ruin his growth and popularity.
" Hi, Mr.Strange eye. I feel completely awful to meet you and I just feel pity to fight and compete with you for now. I think Maddox family made a new history with their abnormal successor", saying Groger laughed at him along with the group that stood behind him.
This time Jason had lost his control and so he moved a step forward furiously to break his chin.
When he was about to hit him, " Jason! What are you doing there? Come fast! The pre- selection match for speed soccer's gonna start now at the indoor stadium. Hurry or else our place might get stolen", Ronald, classmate of Jason called him from a distance to join him.
Jason gave a angry stare at everyone of 'em and ran to his friend thinking that wasn't a right time to fight back.
