As predicted, it had started to rain, and Jia had not gotten her yellow raincoat; it's okay, your Majesty, I murmured; I will get it; there is still enough time; stepping out of the door, I looked at my watch 07h23am not to bad, I locked the door from outside, today that asshole Jiang had not passed me, approaching Jia school she pulled me by the sleeve?
"What is it?" I said, stopping and looking down at her.
She pointed to the school sign that said Concordia; what about it?
She then pointed to the gate, Jia, the gate is open; all we need to do was step inside; she shook her head, clinging onto my leg, "Jia, now is not the time; what is that smell? I looked around; it smelled rust; since when can anyone smell rust?? I thought to myself.. I heard screaming.
Jia, do you smell anything? She shook her head no. Do you hear anyone screaming, she shook her head.
There was this sudden loud -zinging- sound; I closed my ears and covered hers. She looked at me confused and took my thumb, pulling my hand away from her ear.
Your ears will hurt, I insisted, Mr. Xhia, said the lady who stayed waiting with Xhia; she was wearing a bright pink skirt and pink top with a set of high heels, and her hair was cut shoulder length, it was Auburn black, "what are you doing?"
"What, you can't hear that?"
"Hear what, Mr. Xhia?"
"That loud -zinging- sound?"
"Young man, are you okay after what happened to you yesterday?
She then lowered her glasses, examining my body and face, "amazing, you healed up so fast, and you look different?"
She looked down at his hand; his hand had an unusual amount of hair for a kid his age.
He looked somewhat older; if he were not this young, she would probably ask him to dinner; she took a deep breath inhaling his scent; it was as if her eyes had a sparkle in them.
"Your smell, your presence, all seem different, Mr. This; her curious eyes glanced at his chest and noticed the hair beneath his color; she let down her glasses to get a better glance.
"If you don't mind me asking, how old are you." She said softly, moving her lips to my ear; I pulled slightly back, "I am sixteen and will be seventeen in two weeks." I answered her check turned red, "how about we celebrate your birthday at my place?"
"Was this old twenty - three or twenty-four-year-old teacher hitting on me?
The sound was gone, but now I had a whole different smell.
I glanced at her, "I will let you know." I replied confidently; maybe she was being polite for me to meet her family; I don't know why, and I don't care; she was talking too much, and it was 07h45am. I have to get going, I said; she took out a pen and paper and wrote down her number, "can I see something before you leave?" she said
Sure, you can, "would you mind rolling up your sleeve for me?"
This is an odd request, but what the hell? I rolled up without asking questions, "oh my," she smiled. You're a hairy one, aren't you, Mr. This; I frowned and looked at my arm; I hadn't seen this morning. Where did all this hair come from?
The pendant started to have a dim glow, It was under Kai's shirt, so he never noticed.
I will see you later. I looked over at her name tag Mrs. Ling "oh no, call me Ms. please I am not married."
A beautiful woman like yourself, not married, that's a surprise, I thought; as I said goodbye, I looked back and heard Ms. Ling telling Jia, "he quite a charmer isn't he."
Did she say that loud? Because to me it sounded loud, I had this sudden thirst for that smell I had earlier, the pendant glowed brighter, and I had not noticed; my body, however, felt as if it was continuously spiking through my pores.
I was finally arriving at school at 07h54am, and I made it in time.
The security gave me a look I had never seen him do before; I thought to myself, where the hell was you yesterday when I was getting? Five guys beat my ass.
He kept staring at me, "excuse me, is everything okay?" Security pushed forward his chest. Do you have a student card, "you must be kidding me? Is this some talk show prank?"
"It's me, Kai, sure, and I am Batman; the only way you are getting through here is with a student card, "fine, I pulled out my student card showing, He nodded; it's you, Kai, "that's what I just said?"
"You look different; I am sorry?"
Am I so unrecognizable that the security doesn't remember me?
Maybe it's because rumor had it I was severely beaten up.
I wouldn't be back to school for the month.
I walked through the gates and entered the hall; the kids were looking at me as if I was a foreign exchange student; Jiang came walking down the hallway and bumped into me; he looked up with a look of confusion, sorry I never saw you Ming Yui was following behind him, smiled and winked.
She had never looked in my direction before. Now she is winking at me? I proceeded to class. When entering class, everyone went quiet, staring at me; the teacher turned around, his back facing the board, and approached me, "excuse me, can I help?"
I leaned over and whispered, "I am Kai."
Kai? He narrowed his eyes; I've known Kai. Is this you? Why can't I recognize you he whispered? I don't know what is happening to me, Sir, "It's okay; you are growing up and changing into a man, he whispered; these changes usually take effect after puberty; but you; it took longer which is okay it happens.
The girls in the front row tried listening in; I could hear their thoughts and whispers, "who is he? Is he the new student? His handsome, his tall, see his hair it so shiny."
"Sir, I am confused; I am not sure what is happening," Kai repeated; it's okay changes happen to us all; now. Go to your seat. Jiang stepped into the class, immediately noticing me; he nodded his head and then went to the corner of the classroom where the rest of his friends sat.
"Who is he?"
"We don't know, man."
"Does he have a car? He looks kind of old to be in school."
"Yes, I thought his the new teacher, but it turns out he's just a student like us; I wonder how old is he?"
I turned to the group of guys sitting in the corner; I am sixteen, "they were surprised as the whole class turned to look at them in the corner of the class."
"Enough now, everyone gets back to work; Jiang kept looking up at me, Ming Yui had moved her seat next to mine, and I could smell her scent. It was like Rose petals freshly taken out of water.
She leaned over, "so, are you the new student?" she whispered, "No, I gave a short reply, uncertain what to say. I usually felt nervous around girls, but around her today, I felt calm and in control.
"The new guy is sitting by you, girl."
I heard a whisper from the corner and looked at them; they nervously looked back, "Can he hear us? His eyes seem dark. I think your girl likes him. She is staring at him now.
Kai turned and saw Ming Yui with the pen in her mouth, staring at him.
"So, do you have plans for after school?"
I do; I have things to do," that's a pity I had a better idea.
"Your girl is all over him. Are you going to teach that dog a person? Kai turned and looked at them, "the dog is a lesson, you fools." Quiet man, he can hear us, and we are not sure who he is; let's hold on till we can find more information on him; Jiang was angry as he clenched his fist, watching Ming. You are so close to the new guy who made his blood boil.
No one ever spoke to Ming Yui because they all knew she was Jiang's property, and this new guy dared to sit next to my girl; I will make an example out of him; Kai looked at Jiang and smirked, "What can he hear my thoughts?" Jiang looked around; everyone was doing their own thing except for Kai, who was leaning back and watching them; Ming Yui placed her soft hands on his thigh and smiled.
Kai placed his hand over Ming Yui; she had a warm feeling something spiked through her body, her heart beating father; she inhaled, took a deep breath, and let out a soft moan; she had never experienced this before; his touch alone woke up feelings in her she never knew existed, she bites her lips, his amazing she thought, another soft moan came out as her eyes rolled up and her mouth opened the class turned around and looked her. Jiang's eyes darkened; he was going to kill this son of a bitch.
