chapter- 2 (hyperfocus)

“There has to be a way!” tao exclaimed, biting the pencil in his hand while with the other one he rubbed his hair like a mad scientist!

Well he did look like a mad scientist who is trying to find if the pyramids were made by aliens or not- but that's not the case He was trying to find how in hell does the new student, his desk partner for the whole year can control electricity.

He had eye bags under his eyes- and looked like he'll fell asleep for eternity any second. He looked at the board infront of him containing who knows what- on the corner there was info about the Mount everest, in the middle a doodle of xie lian and the fact it looked mostly like her. His art skill did pay off.

Don't know how Mount everest is connected to her thought

He pulled the pencil out of his mouth and started scribble things in the white board infront of him, muttering random things.

“Jeez, I don't understand how the hell can a human have electricity powers or whatever that is?, well isn't it cool?”

“Maybe she's an alien! An alien who's studing human nature !” He raised his fist in the air, his eyes shining with excitement.

Tao was in confusion as there was a long pause in between both of them.

Xie lian sighed accepting her miserable fate, “I was charging my phone”

“Wait wh- without a switch?!” Tao glanced at the other, with confusion and dumbfoundness.

“Look, our home teacher is behind you” the girl stated, pointing behind him.

“Huh WAIT no- should I run?!” He shouted, in fear, spinning behind to see their teacher- but the whole road was empty, the warm wind blowing.

He was dumbfounded, twirling to the front just to see no one there too.

“Did she disappear into thin air?!” he yelled.

“Wait, did I just get fooled by her?!”

After coming home from the most unbelievable moment of his life he dug into his laptop, researching what just happened! not before doing his homework, of course.

“Why do I feel like I am forgetting something?” the hyper focused boy mumbled tilting his head to the side still glazing at the white board.

“Hmm…no No NO!”

“I FORGET TO BUY THE GROCERY!!!”

“Mom's gonna kill me!”

[Next day]

‘I hate school, I hate humans, I hate everything, I hate the government too’ the girl thought, dozzed off on the desk.

“Uh hi” she heard a nervous voice from beside, moving her head a little to see tao pulling the chair, sitting. He looked tired not that she cared. She gave a small ‘hi’ then again trying to sleep.

“Hey xie lian, I've been wondering about what happened yesterday! How did u get those electric power?”

Hearing that xie lian pulled herself off from the desk and was about to say mind ur own business but before that she was attacked with a crazy amount of questions.

“Are you an alien?!”

“Huh-wh”

“Are you here to experiment on humans?, how's your real form like ?!, are you here to rule on humans ?!, are you the goddess of lightning or something or maybe a descendant of a lighting clan?!”

Xie lian was dumbfounded as she was caught off guard by this much questions, the pair of black eyes just staring at the hazel one in pure confusion, the girl blinked- her face expression turned into her usual scowl which- she always held.

“what?” She muttered slowly.

“I guess I got overboard a little” tao let out a nervous chuckle, fidgeting with the hem of his jacket which was a part of the uniform.

“I'm a human, do you want me to cut my wrist and show you my blood?” she asked grumpily, as she rested her cheek on her hand, narrowing her eyes at him.

“NO- no I meant I didn't meant that but you know yesterday I just saw you charging your mobile with your mouth? How am I supposed to sit down quietly?” Tao said with enthusiasm.

“What are you talking about? You must have been dreaming I never met you outside” she still had that scowl, rolling her eyes at him.

“I never mentioned I met you outside,” Tao smirked.

Xie lian stared at him for further minutes, her eyebrows furrowing further obviously annoyed- with a long sigh of defeat she finally agreed that what he saw was real.

“Just don't tell anyone, or I'll make your life hell” she threatened, grabbing a compass from her Pouch, giving him a death stare.

“You know when you actually ask for favors you don't threaten them by saying ‘i’ll make your life hell’ it sounds funny to me though” tao grinned- continuing, “well how about we become friends!” He reached a hand towards her for a handshake.

“I don't wanna be involved with anyone, just ignore me for the rest of your life” the other said, ignoring the hand still in the air.

Not caring, tao took her free hand for a handshake, “we're friends from now on”

“Huh wait- when did I agre-”

“I wanna see your power or whatever you do with electricity, are you a power bank ? Do you know how to fight?”

Xie lian sweat dropped listening to so many questions again getting thrown at her face-, “I also don't know much about it, and no I'm not a power blank- where did that even come from? She replied with a low- grumpy tone looking at the ceiling while leaning on her chair.

“So can you fight…?”

“Well…yeah- not on a professional level ofcourse.” ‘I'm just a kid afterall’ she thought.

________

[On a roof of a random building]

“So this is that golden planet- the figure lets out a cough before continuing “ why the hell is the air so bad?”

He ruffled his purple hair, crouched down on the roof- staring down with a confused expression as he observed the peaple going here and there, suddenly he heared the sound of a door opening he turned his head towards it seeing a person with blue uniform carrying which seen like a bucket to him.

“You kid, no one is allowed here- how did you even get here?”

“Uh well” he gave a small nervous smile to him.

—---

“Where are your parents, kid?” The security guard asked to him as he looked at his shoes.

Poor him, he didn't knew he'll get handed to who seem like a security guard for sitting at a rooftop of a hospital where I think earthlings goes for medical care.

“What's your name, child? Are u lost?” The guy asked again with concern.

“Uh Sir, why is that guy with black mask trying to break the glass with a bat?” He questioned innocently pointing behind the security guard.

“Huh?” The security guard turned to see no lunatic trying to break in instead of using the door- confused he turned around to ask him what he meant just to see no one around.

“Ugh kids these days”
