Ling was in his room again. He observed his surroundings, he was definitely in his room. That's when he realized it was all a dream. He got confused, the dream felt so real. He yawned and reached for his phone. He checked the time, it was early in the morning. This was his first time waking up so early in the morning. He quickly texted Eve her good morning text. Eve was the only person he cared enough to send a good morning text to. He decided to spice up the good morning text this time so he also sent Eve a picture of a TGCF meme. Now that he was done texting, he checked his parsels. Ling loved being pretty. He loved dresses, so he had decided to become a lolita. He was waiting for his dresses to arrive. Sadly, there were no updates. He sighed. He slowly sat down and got up to get ready for school. He dressed up, put on his lenses and ate a banana to take his medications. His dad prepared Ling's morning coffee. Ling was all set to go to school now. Ling and his dad rushed down the stairs of their old apartment. They finally got inside Ling's dad's car. Ling opened his phone and started playing a video game. Ling's dad was awfully silent during the ride, but Ling didn't question it. There was no way that he knew what Ling did yesterday. They arrived, so Ling got out with his backpack and started walking towards the school. Now, it was time for his most hated time of the day. He arrived at his classroom and sighed. He told himself in his mind that it was going to end quicker than his expectations. He sat down in his seat, and put his thermos and pencil case on his table. He put his head down on his hands and started to wait for the lesson to start. The people behind him were gossiping about Eve. It made Ling angry. They were speaking about how Eve is "a maniac" Ling was hardly holding himself back from lashing out at them. How insensitive they were also made Ling angry. They had no idea about why Eve would attempt the things she did. The arrival of their teacher shut them up. The teacher stood at the center of the classroom and said "Hello everyone, we have a new student with us today. Serene, why don't you introduce yourself?" A boy with a white bob entered the classroom. As soon as he did, he started staring at Ling with a strange expression. Ling awkwardly smiled, not knowing what to do in this situation. "Serene?", the teacher asked. Serene flinched and said "Uh, my name is Serene. Hello." with a cold expression. He walked towards the teen sitting next to Ling and coldly said "Move." The teen looked at Serene with an annoyed expression and asked why. "Move now or suffer the consequences of your action" His expression could cut glass in half. The teen stood up and sat somewhere else. Serene immediately sat next to Ling. Serene stared at Ling again, Ling stared back at Serene. They just stared at each other for a while. Ling felt extremely embarrassed and pulled out his phone to text Eve. " This weird boy won't stop staring at me", he texted. "Is he cute?", Eve texted. "Why does it matter? He was staring at me like a creep.", Ling texted. "Maybe you misunderstood him.", Eve texted him. "No. He is being a pervert.", Ling texted. "Is he staring at your ass?", Eve texted. "No! Ew! He is staring at my face!", Ling texted. "Are you autistic?", Eve texted. "What??", Ling texted. The bell rang. The first lesson was finally over. Ling felt weirded out by Eve's question but the fact that it was breaktime now eased him. Ling stared back at his phone. "Sorry if it seemed rude, I actually meant the question.", Eve had texted. When Ling lifted his face up from his phone, Serene was standing right infront of him. Ling flinched. "You have brown hair…", Serene said. "Yes, I do.", said Ling awkwardly. Serene looked deeply interested in Ling. They stared at each other as Ling's phone kept going off. Eve was probably flooding Ling with messages. Serene sighed and went back to his seat. Ling was now freaked out beyond human understanding. Why was Serene so interested in him? He opened his phone again. He texted Eve back. Serene pulled out a picture from his bag and stared at it intensely. Ling got curious and tried to see the picture. It was a picture of Serene and…someone with long white hair..? This person was wearing the same clothes as who he was in his dream… Ling stared at the picture in complete shock. Why did Serene have this picture? Wasn't it all…just a dream? Ling wasn't even sure if he should tell this to Eve. Would she even believe him? Serene was clearly not a highschooler. Why was he there? What did he want with Ling? Ling was now deep in thought. The bell rang again. It was now lesson time. Ling was still not ready. Serene stopped staring at the picture and looked at Ling. Ling got so overwhelmed that he stood up and shouted at Serene: "What is your problem with me?!" Serene was dumbstruck. Ling looked around him and everyone was staring at them. Ling bowed which meant sorry. Serene silently said "My lord…?" Ling sighed. "I am not your lord. I am just a highschooler."Serene looked to the side."You have no idea about who you are." Ling looked into Serene's eyes. "Who am I?" "You can't know.", Serene said with a cold expression. "It's for your own good." "You seem serious about this.", Ling said. Who was…Ling? Who could he possibly be? He was just a teenager. Serene for sure looked like he was not going to tell Ling. The teacher broke them apart. "Ling, Serene, stop that. Ling, sit down!", the teacher yelled. Ling sat down. He was still confused. Serene stalked Ling the rest of the day and as Ling was getting ready to leave the school, Serene got close to Ling. "May I walk you to the gate, my Lord?" Ling stared at him and sighed. "Fine, but stop calling me that." Serene looked down…carelessly. "That is what you used to say before too." Ling stayed silent. Serene was some sort of helper? This whole situation was strange. Ling walked to the gate with Serene. Serene's cold gaze made anyone who were close to them move away from them. Serene dropped off Ling to his parents and watched him as he left with them. Ling got in the car and was deep in thought the whole car ride. Ling's dad parked his car. Ling got off and rushed to his room. He changed clothes and laid on his bed. Serene was all he was thinking about, until Eve texted him. He checked what she wrote and answered her. Talking to Eve helped him stop thinking about Serene. He decided to tell Eve about what happened. Eve suddenly started bombarding Ling with texts. "YOU HAVE TO STOP SPEAKING WITH THAT GUY! HE IS TRYING TO TRICK YOU! STOP SPEAKING TO HIM!", Eve texted. Ling was even more confused all of a sudden. "Are you okay? Calm down." "I'M ALREADY CALM. STOP SPEAKING WITH THAT GUY." "Who even is he?" "Just stop speaking to him, please." Ling got suspicious. Eve clearly knew something he did not. "You are acting suspicious. What do you know?" "I know that you should stay far away from that guy. They all claim to be good spirited when they are just mean and cruel. He is just like the rest of them." "The rest of what?" "Just forget it." "I can't. I keep thinking about the picture I saw and my dream." "That guy is right about one thing, you can't know who you are for your own good." Ling squinted his eyes in annoyance. What was he allowed to know? Everyone seemed to know who he was, apart from himself. Ling got up from his bed and went to study. He studied biology and math. He laid on his bed again. It was late now. He took his medications and took off his lenses. He received a text from a red number. It said: "Hello. It's Serene. What are you doing?" Ling thought that red numbers meant that it was the dead calling. His phone was probably glitching or something. He texted back: "Nothing, just lying on my bed. How about you?" "Thinking about you. I miss you." Ling was taken aback by how straightforward Serene was. Eve had told him not to speak to Serene, but he just couldn't stop. Maybe it was from curiosity. Ling replied, "Oh really? I'm surprised that you aren't stalking me right now." "You were always funny. The funniest out of all of them." "All of who?" "Can't tell you." "Come on. Please." "No." Ling was desperate for answers at this point. He sighed deeply. "Fine. You are so cold." "Sorry. I'll try to be warmer." Serene very clearly cared about Ling a lot, even though Ling couldn't understand why. Ling yawned. He was tired from dealing with Serene all day. He texted Serene and Eve goodnight and laid on his bed. He closed his eyes and saw Serene shaking him, then saw himself getting stabbed by ungodly figures, then he saw…pure black. The thing was that…he didn't see himself going through those things. He saw the long haired armor wearing person go through those things but…he felt every single thing that person felt. Ling was…him.
