Chapter 3

I finally decided to talk to the teacher so that she would replace me. I hurried towards the staff room and found her typing something on the computer. I went to her and told,

"Good afternoon teacher! Myself Lillian. I want to tell that I can't participate in talent- showing competition since I don't have any talents..."

I knew that it was a complete lie but I have to say this for the sake of the competition any myself. But, she replied;

"I cannot possibly remove ir replace you dear. Everyone has talents and so do you. I know. Tell me what are you good at exept studying?"

"Umm... I am good at material arts?"

"Material arts?! Ok... so you can perform that."

"But...how?!"

"You can collaborate with another student who knows material arts nicely and fight with him/her on the stage. It will be better if that person is also participating in the competition."

"Yes mam! I know someone. Mam, can you tell me what is Aiden performing?"

"Let me check..... He hasn't told me yet... why?"

"Nothing mam... I am going!"

"ok"

Oh my god! This was a way too polite conversation I ever had! Ugh! Whatever... Now I know what to do! I can fight with Aiden. Since he is too good in material arts then let's try. We both are participating in this competition. So, If he will win or I will, both out talents will be shown. And I think that our fight will last for more than 10 minutes, that is the time limit. Now I just have to do one thing. That is to persuade him. I think it is going to be hard...

After the last class I followed him to the ground.... and suddenly he turned and asked,

"Why are you following me? What do you want? "

"Well... umm... Which talent are you showing?"

"...I haven't decided yet."

He hesitated for a moment...like he was going to say, "None of your business".

Then I asked him,

"Can you perhaps perform with me?"

"What do you mean?!"

"First tell me what are you good at?"

"Material arts? and painting? "

"Yes! I am also good at material arts. So we can fight on the stage... can you do?"

"You can't win against me... Do you want to make a fool of yourself?"

"Oh... so you think that I can't win against you! Dream on... We can have a fight now and here and then let's see who wins!"

"As you wish."

We put down our bags and started fighting. All the students started watching us and I can see that some students were running to gather their friends, so that they can enjoy the show.

At first, when we started the fight he was simply amazed. I think our fight lasted for more than 25 minutes. None of us won... It was a complete tie...

He then spoke,

"Okay. I will collaborate with you."

"Thank you... I don't think we need to practice for this... so we will now meet on the competition day directly, backstage."

"yeah...right."

Then we picked our bags and left.

The competition was day after tomorrow. Now I don't have to care about that stupid competition anymore! Ugh... why are there so many useless activities?!

**Aiden's Point of view (POV**)

What the heck?! How can I lost against a girl?! Her skills were as good as mine! Is she also a mafia? No...this can't be! If she is a mafia, then why is she studying in this university? She also sleeps or doesn't pay attention in the class, but like me, gets full marks... Is she also here just for a degree? Yeah...maybe...

Anyway, it's good. Now I don't have to worry about that stupid competition. I was worried about that stupid thing...

I have to find out who is hacking our system every night! After investigation I found that this hacker is probably in this city or maybe in this university. But I am not sure. The hacker seems to be world class! I immediately have to find out about it!

I was working in the laptop till 3:00 am. I can feel thee pain in my eyes and numbness in my legs. I think I have worked enough. I should sleep now.

I went to sleep. I saw a girl laughing in my dream. I cant see her face 'cause I was behind her. I ran towards her and she also started running. As we both were running, our age was was lessening. I was now of 6 years old while she was 5, I think. Then I saw a familiar place. We were standing in a park. It was my childhood memory. I was playing in the swing but then a man came with his child and pushed me away. I cried. Suddenly, girl appeared and told me not to cry but I cried more. She gave me a chocolate and persuaded me to play with her. Then we played till the evening. This was the happiest moment in my life. I know it's crazy to say that but other than this, I never had a chance to enjoy.

Then the girl who took me there turned to me. That was the same girl! Suddenly, the place was changing to a blank white one. The girl again turned back. I saw the girl growing big and she was now of her present age. I was also back in my normal form.

Then she turned at me. She looked like..... Lillian?! What the-?

Then the alarm rang. I woke up with an instant! That girl was....Lillian?! How could this be? She...she- wait... no... it was a dream anyway. Dreams are not always true... I shouldn't deviate my mind...

I quickly took my bag and went for the first lecture. I went to my seat and saw her. She told me,

"Oh...you are here. Good morning!"

"Morning"

The teacher came and we both went to sleep. It's really nice to sleep in the classroom. The teacher woke us up and ask some questions to check that if we were paying attention to the class under the book or not. As usual we answered the question, like it was a class 1 question.
