Chapter 29 - Chapter 30: Can You Be My Partner?

"George stop it already. I'm not weak and you're not older than me!" a little five year old Gina was pissed off

"George stop making your sister angry "

"It's not bad to be weak sometimes. That way I would always protect my little sis" George said and kept eating

Before they realized it, Gina shot her knife at George's chest. Little George cried out as they pulled the knife out of his chest. Worst of all, it wasn't healing

"Austin what's happening with George's immortality?" their mother, Rhianna, asked with a worried expression

"Gina what did you do to your brother?"

"I didn't mean to. I asked him to stop but he didn't listen. I'm sorry George"

"Let's take him to the hospital first"

HOSPITAL

"I'm sorry but I don't think we can help you. He can't be stitched up. Even our healers couldn't heal him"

"But do they know what's wrong?"

"Well, per our tests. The power used to insert the knife was accompanied by an ancient force"

"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I've always told you to stop angering me but you never listen" Gina cried

"Well I'm sorry too. But don't worry I'll be fine." George said and tapped her head. She held his hand and started singing BURRY A FRIEND by Billy Ellie but rather slowly.

~What do you want from me.

Why don't you run from me.

What are you wondering.

What do you know.

Why aren't you scared of me.

Why do you care for me.

When we all fall asleep, where do we go....

As she sang, the wound was gradually healing. Their mother who was there watched in shock and she called for their father. To finish up, Gina touched the wound and it healed up completely but there was a mark. When done she almost fell to the ground but her father caught her

"I'm fine?" George asked surprised

END OF DREAM

SR woke up but actually didn't recognize the room. She stood up and went outside.

"I'm at the dorm? But this is... George" she said and walked to the living room

"How long were you planning on hiding from me Gina? Do you know how worried I've been? Gina?" he waved his hands seeing as she was not answering

"Hm? You were saying?"

"Come" he pulls her to seat down "How've you been doing? Did mom make it too?"

"Wow. One nod and you believe me. How sure are you that I'm your Gina? Yes my name is Gina but it doesn't mean I'm your sister" she said and took an apple from the table. Then walked in the kitchen.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Gina? What's wrong" George entered the kitchen and saw her staring at her face in the mirror

"Where did my red stripes go to? And my eyes are..."

"Back to normal. I guess when you healed me it reminded your body of who you are. I did a DNA TEST and our blood matches so..." he left the sentence for her to complete

"Okay. Change of plans. I'm SR_"

"I know"

"Did you also know why I didn't come back to you?" a little bit of silence "I don't want you to get involved in my troubles. Being SR is already a threat to those around me. Can't add you in it. So just pretend I never returned"

"Gina_"

"Please. I didn't say I'm leaving you again. Okay. We can meet up but only as friends. For your sake. I don't want you hurt because of me. I won't be able to forgive myself" she said and wiped her tears

"But I'm immortal. But if that's what you want..then fine. I respect your decision. But don't run away from me" George said and wiped her eyes and hugged her tight

Time skip

"So to open a dimensional portal you need to know all the different galaxies. I suppose some of you did researches on this topic. What did you find?"

Deep silence. The class was now as quiet as a graveyard.

"I do not want to believe that I abandon my house every day, just to come to a class where no one is participating. Cause it's discouraging."

"No answers? Okay. Here, pass it over. You have thirty minutes" He passed some papers to them and they continued sending it behind. The entire hall was filled with murmurs

"No talking. You have just thirty minutes to find a partner and create steps to follow to make dimensional portal and demonstrate"

"Boss, would you like to be my partner?" Zoe asked George as she was sitting infront of him

"Yeah sure. Why didn't you answer in the first place? You already know the answer."

"I wanted to give others an opportunity to answer" Zoe said and pushed a few hair strands behind her ear

"Excuse me sir? I know you're mad that we didn't move up to your expectations. But since we didn't actually know, don't you think it's a little bit unfair that you gave us thirty minutes only?"

"Fine. One day. I want all reports tomorrow. Class dismissed" the teacher said and opened a portal and left

"Thanks Ivy. I don't think I would have made it. Who would you partner up with? I'm with Albert." Nora said while parking her books

"I don't know yet. Maybe I'll do it by myself."

"We could do it the three of us if you want?"

"Gosh Nora. You're making it sound like a big issue. Okay I'll just find someone else later. Better?"

"Well okay. Don't forget to update me" Nora said and left

"Don't you dare hurt yourself again"

"Woah calm. What a boyfriend I found myself" Ivy too starts packing her things

"Ivy I'm serious. And why didn't you ace that question? It was quite easy"

"Why didn't you answer either? I have to find a partner. We'll talk some other time_"

"Excuse me. We couldn't help but eavesdrop. You can make a portal? Could you please teach us?"

"I'm sorry I can't help you. You might have heard us wrong. And..." Ivy moves to the girl's neck and sniffs

"What..are..you doing?"

"Relax I won't bite you. You can't make portals. It's not on your list of powers. Just find someone who can't and do a research."

"You? Can you be my partner? You just said you can't" the looked at her and crossed her arms around her chest.

"Okay fine I can. Happy now? But I am telling you not to force it. It's not on your list of powers"
