In the girls room, Jessica was laying on the the bed, listening to music on her headphones. When the door opened and Tasha walked in.
They had both decided to stay in the same room as they were quite close and bonded really well, they did almost everything together as though they were twins
"Hey Jessica, what was that all about? You were a bit rude back there," Tasha questioned as she walked towards the bed and spanked her sister's head to get her attention
Jessica removed her headset and glared at Tasha "Rude? Why were you so nice?" she asked
Tasha raised an eyebrow "What do you mean?"
"You never really liked him when we were kids, but now you suddenly do, you even call him Jay. Don't tell me you're intoxicated with him already?" Jessica chuckled
Tasha's face became red, she was caught off guard, but as a lady quickly composed herself
"Clears throat* I don't know what you're talking about, i simply I'm being nice as always," she stated
"Yeah sure, of course. Just don't expect me to act all nice to him, I've tried that before... and i will never do so again," Jessica declared, and for an instant a sad look flashed in her eye
Tasha sensed her sister's sadness and rubbed her hair gently to which Jessica shrugged off
"Alright, but don't taunt him, i think he just might have changed, he has a calmer look now, even if it's a bit... emotionless. But I guess it's a start, moreover I think he's even more handsome now." Tasha said, a smile forming on her face as she hugged her pillow
Jessica shook her head pitifully "You poor thing, you've been smitten by him and you don't even realize it. The great Natasha has fallen so easily, i can't believe this," she sneered while laughing out loud, which earned her another spank on the head from Tasha.
They played a bit, laughed at boys on the internet and did whatever else girls do when they're alone.
The next morning,
Jayden was already awake, he was doing push ups beside the bed, immersing himself in his workout when a knock was he heard a knock on the door
"Huh?" He stood up and went to check who it was
Jayden opened the door and met Harleen standing there, smiling
"Good morning Jayden, how was your night? Did you sleep well?" she asked
"Yes," he replied calmly and said nothing more
Harleen didn't mind his way of speaking, Jacob had already told her they had to tolerate his new behavior and help him through it, afterall it was better than rage in every way
"Here is your uniform," she said, as she gave Jayden two pair of clothes "It exactly your size, made from the measurements we got,"
Jayden collected the uniform "Okay, thanks,"
"Alright, so take your bath and get dressed, breakfast would be ready soon," Harleen stated
Jayden nodded and closed the door, before finishing his workout and heading to the bathroom. After taking his bath, he put on the uniform
Two weeks ago, Jacob had visited Jayden and let him know he would be resuming his normal education once again, he had received basic schooling in the rehab center, as they didn't want their 'patients' to fall out academically. So Jayden was pretty much up to date on the class curriculum as well, and would be going straight to the final year of high school
He wore a red blazer with a white T-shirt and red pants along with a black tie.
Jayden then went down for breakfast
Everyone was already sitting around the table and eating, all except for him, and Jessica who wasn't even there yet
"Come, Jayden, sit and eat with us," Jacob said
"Hm," he nodded and walked elegantly to the table
He looked very smart and handsome in his uniform, that it made Tasha's heart flutter, she didn't realize that she was was staring at him too long
Jayden noticed this as he sat "Hm, Something on my face?" he asked Tasha who was still staring
"Ah... no... nothing," she smiled awkwardly, and just then Jessica entered the dining room
"Morning, mum, Dad... Tasha."
She greeted everyone except for Jayden, who didn't even care, he just kept eating without sparing her a single glance
Jessica was annoyed and a bit pained that Jayden didn't acknowledge her arrival, she gritted her teeth before a huge grin formed on her face
"Time for a little morning mischief," she muttered to herself before walking over to where Jayden sat
"Hey! You're in my seat?" she began, as she stood by his side with a ferocious look
Tasha sighed "Really Jessica? Really? Since when do you have a 'seat'."
But Jessica ignored her and continued "This is where I normally sit, it's my favorite spot," she declared
"Honey, I'm sure you can sit somewhere else, come, you can even sit next to me," Harleen said pointing to a chair beside her
"No mum! I want my seat!" Jessica said, loudly, like she was about to throw a tantrum. She really wanted to cause trouble, but Jayden didn't let her have it.
"Ok," he said, as he stood up, which suprised everybody including Jessica
"Sorry for intruding your space, i won't sit here again," Jayden stated, his nonchalant expression was still there but someone could tell he was being genuine
"Uh... um, sure," Jessica stuttered, a blush spread across her face, she was completely shocked, she hadn't expected that outcome at all, Infact she was ready for an all out brawl. She sat silently on her seat hiding her embarrassed face, to which Tasha giggled
Jayden went to another seat, he finished his food and went to the kitchen to wash his plate, which once again left everyone dumbfounded
Five years ago, he was a problem child, he never did chores, never came out of his room and sometimes never ate
"Has he truly changed? I never believed therapy could even be enough for him... he was a monster. But now..." Jessica thought, her mind lost in thought, but she shook her head
"What are you even saying, he's still a monster, nothing would ever make up for what he did," she muttered to herself, clenching her fist
After breakfast, Jacob drove all three of them to the school, the same school Jayden had left five years ago. Eleanora high was one of the best schools in Ruby city; one of the 5 biggest cities in planet Alpha, where they currently were.
They arrived at the school and alighted from the vehicle, but as they began walking, Jacob called out to Jayden
"Hey kiddo, remember that this place isn't what it used to be anymore... well at least for you, most of your peers are now different and you know you are as well in your own way. So go get them and show everyone the new, improved Jayden!" he stated from inside the car.
And with all the heartfelt speech he gave, Jayden simply nodded, not uttering a single word.
Jacob had an awkward smile on his face as he waved to them and took off
They entered the school premise, which contained three various large, silver buildings which categorized the grades of the students in ; Junior, middle and high schools
Jayden and the girls entered the building on the left end, which was reserved for the high schoolers and was filled with people that were already evolved
The walked across the hallway, and their presence was soon noticed by the students, but this was a normal thing for the girls
Apart from the fact that they were seniors already, they were also the most famous duo in the entire school, they were known for their incredibly beauty and strength. They were called the Twin goddesses, but what the students didn't know was that Jessica and Tasha weren't twins, they were just stepsisters who are really close.
They walked elegantly spreading their usual charm, and Jayden seemed to fit perfectly in their middle, except for his penetrating gaze
-"Omg! It's the twins. But hmm, who is that boy?"
-"Praise the goddesses,"
-"I love you Tasha!"
Some of the students expressed their adoration to the girls and it made Jayden wonder just how much the girls had grown. Five years ago, they were both shy girls who would just stick with each other rather than make new friends, but now, they were practically idols.
"This must have happened after their evolution, they probably developed very powerful abilities," Jayden mentally stated
The students also noticed Jayden's handsome but uncaring face, his entire aura felt terrifying and was telling them to back off. But nobody in the area seemed to recognize him, which was probably for the best.
"Alright, this is my stop," Tasha said, as they reached a classroom that had '3-A' written on the top entrance
"Normally you should go to see the principal first, but he's not available on Thursdays, so just head to your class, the homeroom teacher should be aware of your coming," Tasha explained to Jayden
"Okay." he replied
"Sure, bye T," Jessica said, as she continued walking
"Wait!" Tasha called out to Jessica, who turned back with a look of 'What now'
"I think you and Jayden are in the same class," she continued
"Really? Unbelievable," Jessica replied in a sarcastic tone, she already knew but just didn't care. Tasha glared at her and she sighed
"Fine! Let's go, but don't dare disturb me, just act like you don't know me," she said to Jayden, who was silent the entire time
They walked a while before arriving at their destination; a classroom that displayed 3-C on it's door
Jessica entered and Jayden followed in after her, she headed to her seat which was at the back corner of the class. While Jayden stood at the entrance, scanning the entire classroom, students seemed to be chatting with one another, doing their own thing and didn't notice his arrival.
