Chereads / Unknown Mystery (The Hangout) / Chapter 10 - Curious

Chapter 10 - Curious

Mega got home feeling confused, one minute she was cool and calm, the next minute she became scary, it's more like she's a different person. He thought he would stop being curious after seeing her face, but no, he became more curious, very curious.

He put his bag on the floor, he put on the lamp stand which brings brightness into the room. His sitting room was not filled with lots of things like normal houses but it wasn't as empty as Depa's house.

The room has three chairs that sits in a triangular form, there is a beautiful table at the middle of the chairs, there was a portable fridge at the far end of the left side of the room, he could make Ice with his powers and make anything cold but he had promised not to use his powers and he won't use it, not even in the tiny bit. The two windows where the gentle breeze come in from is decorated with plain curtains.

He went to his kitchen which had every utensils and groceries he needed, he can pay for whatever food he wants, he had enough gems to do that, he has bags of gems which he has been keeping since he was a child and he took them with him when coming to the Mortal World, he sold just one of them and he has enough money which will last him for few years, he was surprised to find out that a single gem could cost that much here, gems that he plays around with in the Immortal Worlds, it was just like stones in Vekula, even though the most beautiful ones can be found in Grandmother's yard, she has a yard in the Palace compound, only one big tree was there, she loves to sit on the big tree and enjoy it's breeze, her yard was so filled with gems that the Palace Servants even take tons of it without being suspected.

He could just go to a restaurant to eat but aside from school, he didn't plan to go anywhere else.

He fried some eggs with oil, tomatoes and vegetables, he dish it in a plate and went to the sitting room, he opened his bag and bring out the bread he bought on his way back from school and he began to eat.

As he eats, his mind drifted to Depa. Something is definitely wrong with that girl, something extraordinary.

He thinks about her till he finished his food and till he fell asleep, he kept thinking how strange she is.

******

Depa is hungry, so hungry but her other mind is enjoying the darkness so much and gradually, the hunger died in her as she fell into the soft arm of sleep. Sleep, the only thing that give her some time of peace.

****************

Xova came to school neatly dressed, he didn't meet anyone in the class because he came early. He roam around the school for a little while, greeting all the teachers he met on his way, by the time he went back to the class, Mua and some other students have arrived. After sometime, Lova, Foma and 'The Talkative' as Aya is normally called, came to the class at the same time. That's how they come together to class every morning as if they live in the same place.

The Trio are said to be long time friends and anyone who fights with one of them should get ready to fight the rest.

Aya had gotten into trouble countless times because of her loose mouth but no one tries to make trouble with her because of her friends. It is also said that they help each other one way or the other.

They have never fight with each other, maybe they do privately but no one has ever seen them fight.

Mega came to school and wasn't surprised when he saw Depa's seat vacant.

He sat on his seat and when the bell rang for the students to come to the hall, he didn't stand up.

Aya saw that Mega didn't make attempt to leave the class, she went to him and asked "Are you not going to the hall?"

"I am not" He answered

"Why? Are you feeling sick or what?" Aya said trying to touch his forehead

Mega hate to touch or be touched by strangers, so he moved his head backwards before her hand could reach him.

"I am okay, I just don't wish to go, you can go" He said pointing to the door

"Are you sure you really are not sick?" Aya asked worriedly

"I am not" Mega said a little loud and frustrated. Why does a girl have to talk this much?, That is the reason he always avoid his younger sister, she's just too talkative like Aya and he hates it.

Aya saw that she was making him angry, she said 'ok' and quickly went on her way.

Mega remain seated as he waits for Depa to arrive so that he can talk to her before the Asssembly ends but to his disappointment, she didn't come till the Assembly end and he could here lots of footsteps, which means everyone is already coming back to class.

They love to push themselves in the doorway as they all want to enter at once.

He look away from what he termed 'sheer' stupidity.

After few seconds, he felt someone near him, he look at his side and he saw Depa sitting on her seat like she's been there all day.

"How did she do it?" He thought surprised by her. He looked away for just few seconds and boom, she's here already. She is really strange.

He couldn't see her face clearly because the window which should have shine light to that area has been closed. He looks around to see other windows open.

He stood up to open the window, when his hands got to the bolt that will unlock it, a student who saw him, shouted "Don't open it", which draws the attention of other students to him.

"Why?" He asked but no one answered. He attempt to open it again and all the class, including Xova shouted at him to not open it.

He look at them and could see fear written over their faces.

He wondered why he shouldn't open a simple window.
