Chapter 4 - Eryx's Perspective

I don't have a normal family like the others. People will often judge us for having two moms... even Ayden thought so when he came to visit me for an occasion... I don't give a fuck about it though. Don't worry. I live in Avaric and I'm sure you're already aware of it, however, the difference from my classmates at school is that I'm one of the people who can manipulate magick; I got it from my mother, Xantara, but no one can know it. For this reason, I always have to take medication before school. Plus, my mother is one of the top agents in her society—probably the best one yet. I'd recently found out about it as I overheard my mom talking with my mother on the call. They won't be able to keep it a secret anymore, I'm growing which means I'm smarter than ever before.

My School life isn't always the greatest. Apart from being classified as the top student in my class, I get called "Nerd" by almost everyone, I think it's because the way I dress and the glasses might give it away, and can never get away from teasers. Most importantly, Ayden. He's an IT boy who everyone loves... He's rich, handsome, gorgeous, a perfect body structure, flawless in all classes (me too T^T), and everyone LOVES him. Except me, of course. THIS DOESN'T MEAN I ENVY HIM! I don't like the fact that he's a spoiled teenager, getting on my nerves every time I run into him. That one day Ayden, he broke my glasses... and I unintendedly said "... WE'RE BARELY GETTING BY AS IT IS" which is definitely not true; my mother earns a huge amount of payment, I can buy new ones, but those glasses were my mother's important person and I valued it, so my eyes started to get teary. Anyway, due to what I'd said, I guess he was sorry that that evening he bought me a new pair of glasses and apologized to me as he meant it. At that moment, my heart did this weird thing and I don't know what that is. But surely though, it was filled with warmth. I really didn't expect this from him. I believe people are always full of surprises.

My mom invited him for dinner and he accepted it. I was confused about whether I should be thankful, angry, or excited that he was going to be having a meal with me. But the one thing I know is, he's planning something, maybe he's trying to embarrass the shit out of me in front of my mom!! I MUST be grateful my mother is away for her business.
