Ozo, Sasha, Nengi and Bless quietly went back to their class, as break periods were over. Bless sat down and looked unhappy, as he looked to discover that his desk mates were not even nice to him at all. He turned to see Nengi, Ozo and Sasha sitting comfortably, while Sasha tried to touch Ozo, whom smacked his hands away.
A small smile crept unto his face as he watched him, wishing he could be anywhere but near them. He quickly sighed as he saw the teacher coming, turning back to his seat.
It was Physics. Although, he struggled with some parts in Physics, yet, he prefers science to any other. Initially, he had dreams of becoming a health practitioner. But as soon as he discovered the fact that has magical powers, he thought of what his life would eventually become. Having a whole new kind of identity, smiling lightly, he carefully wrote down important points to note, during lessons.
'Focus on your mental energy and try projecting your thoughts to your friends... They can hear you '. Bless turned to see whom spoke to him, but it was no one. Projecting his thoughts?. But how?. He turned to see Nengi, Sasha and Ozo focused on taking down notes, he turned to his front and placed a hand on his chin, thoroughly confused. For the rest of the lessons, his mind was deviated from the lesson, as he thought of how he could project his thoughts....

" How sure are you that the boy in question is in this school?''. A tall man arrayed in dark robes asked, with eyes never leaving the image of a boy, that appeared on his mirror.
" Your highness... I'm sure. The spy i planted just informed me, and he is certainly the one". Another man wearing a hood answered sharply.
The tall man leaned on his chin, with his palm, his legs crossed as his grey eyes focused intently on the boy. His silver hair plunged over his broad shoulders,with a stern look, betraying his handsome features, but giving an aura of authority and reverence.
" Prepare my demon trip. I want to pay, this little human a visit". He announced a little amused.
" Of course - wh- what?. Y- your highness??''. His servant in hood was utterly stunned. His Lord, visiting a human??.
With a little grin, the tall man walked down from his throne... shutting his eyes for a brief moment and opening them, still fixated on the human.
" He thinks demons are scary and are evil?. Why don't we show him how sweet a demon can be sometimes".....

Bless was still glued to his seat, till Nengi and the rest walked up to him, nudging him by the arm,he looked up to see them.
" School is over- and you weren't even in the dismissal period, you were here all the time... Is everything alright?". Nengi asked concerned.
Bless looked at them one after the other. Sasha's tie was loosened, as his eyes were filled with mischief and playfulness. Ozo's face was filled with no emotions, as his hands were tucked into his pockets, his tie was perfectly in place. Nengi was wearing a worried look on her face, as she wanted to know why Bless was not happy at all.
" Why are you sad?. You don't look happy at all?". Nengi asked, putting an arm over his shoulder, Bless flinched at her touch, his eyes meeting hers filled with concern and love. Ozo held her by the wrist, trying to stop her from holding Bless much. Sasha was wearing a playful smirk, as he watched Ozo feeling somewhat.
" I'm fine.. it's just... I- I want to stay with you guys... You know...''. He paused swallowing hard, not knowing how they would react. To his greatest surprise, Sasha first offered to be his new deskmate.
" Can you be my desk mate?. I'm really looking for one".
" I think he is better off with staying with me". Nengi quickly objected. Sasha's focus was more on Ozo's facial reaction, whom insisted that Bless stayed with Sasha.
" I think that Bless is better off with Sasha than with you - you know how he can be sometimes". Ozo countered.
Sasha walked up to Ozo, with a playful grin,tucked his left arm into his pocket, with his backpack on his right shoulder, staring intently at Ozo, whom looked away.
" Why?. Tell me why Blessed will have to stay with me, instead of Nengi?. Does my presence make you feel butterflies in your stomach?". He needed an answer from Ozo, whom scoffed and turned his sharp gaze to him. Ozo came more closer than usual to Sasha, making him a little surprised.
" Weren't you the one that asked Bless first to stay with you?. And now- you are asking me, to tell you the reason behind my words.... Sersi- one thing I don't like, is people trying to play with me, whether through flirting, or otherwise... I have my reasons for holding back all these while, but if you keep pushing me to the wall like his- you know that my anger burns more than your lethal fire, and believe me, on the gods name, will I make you burn to ashes, without regenerating". Ozo warned in a firm tone, that sent shivers down Nengi's spine.
" I- I think it hasn't gotten to that yet-".
" I will waiting for that day...''. Sasha paused for a brief moment, before drawing much closer to Ozo, making sure their faces were inches apart and breathes mingling." But, if I defeat you - I will make sure that I will do whatever I've always wanted to do". He brushed off his lips slightly with his, Ozo froze for a moment, almost losing his balance, Sasha retreated back grinning devishly.
Bless was stunned at the moment, wondering what kind of person Sasha was. Was he just flirting or was he sexually interested in Ozo?. The thought of that irked him . Nengi wasn't even shocked, rather expected that kind of action from Sasha.
"Can we stop this whole drama, and go home?. Bless can we head home now?. I'm really starving". Nengi spoke up, making all of them stunned at her usual braveness.
'' Oh, um .. yes". Bless packed up, and Nengi took Bless's hands into hers, looking away... . Sasha stepped out to go, and noticed that Ozo was still rooted at the spot, he took his hand, away from his pocket, and held his wrist surprising Ozo.
" Wh-". Ozo opened his mouth to protest, but Sasha smiled lovingly at him.
" Do you want me to kiss you?. You look kissable now". Sasha uttered unashamed. Ozo couldn't say more, and together the four of them walked right out of the school's compound, oblivious to some teachers and students watching them. Ozo felt that indeed, the tables have turned.
