As I walk on the sidewalk and listening to music, I put on my gloves, which I forgot to put on back at home. I pull the pair of black fingerless leather gloves onto my hands to hide my pentagrams. I personally wouldn't wear the gloves, but the school basically makes me wear them If I want to attend. The reason had something to do with religious people and the pentagrams. I don't know. I didn't pay any attention what the headmaster was telling me. Maybe I should start concentrating in school other then Japanese class....But I already know most of what they teach, so I really don't have to do it....I guess it sounds good, but doesn't work for me. I only pay attention in Japanese class because of Natasha and not because I want to learn the language. I already learned it years ago. School is even more boring If you know everything they teach you there already.
As I continue walking on the sidewalk on this cloudy November morning, I suddenly feel a very familiar, but yet strange presents. So when I fell it, I stopped of the middle of the sidewalk and looked around the area, but sew nothing out of the ordinary.
"Could it be?"I ask myself, but them immediately assure myself"No no. They don't appear this time of the month. Must have been my imagination."
I shake my head a few times, before continuing walking towards my school. If I were to waste any more time wondering about things I sense, I would be late and then have to hear it from Natasha.
After ten minutes walking on the mostly empty streets, I reach the busy one, where dozens of young men and women are walking with their school bags on their back or in their hands. All of them having the same destination: school. Everyone uses this road because it directly leads to the gates of school. Walking speed on this road is mostly the same for everyone, as most of them are pretty tired and so, they move slowly towards the place that made them wake up so early in the morning. And it doesn't really help that today is Monday too. No one likes Mondays.
So once I have walked for another few minutes, I reached my school. The building is four stories tall, made out of stone and painted yellow and blue. This highschool here is called one of the best in the country for its high test scores and pretty amazing results in competition. A lot of people want to be accepted into this school, but only few are and I was obviously one of them. I had no trouble fitting in, because my entire life between the ages of six to sixteen was made up so I could blend in. I really can't write into my CV that I was a mage for ten years. Thats why I made up a fake backstory and put myself into this school.
"Huuh."I let out a sigh and enter the school. From there, I go straight towards my math class. Math as a first lesson on a Monday is the biggest shit that this school has done to my class. No one likes it, but the school doesn't care and so, from the start If the year, we have been attending this class with most of the class being half asleep and trying their hardest to understand what ever the fuck the teacher is trying to teach them. As for me, I really don't care about it. My math grades have always been good, so no need to worry.
Once I have reached the class, I walk between the table and reach my seat at the back. I drop my bag onto the floor, pull out my chair and sit down on it. Then I take out my book, notebook and my pen, which I put at the corner of the table made out of wood. Now, because I have nothing else to do, I look out of the window to pass time. Out of the window, I see students walking towards the school, cars driving on the roads and tall trees decorating the little plot of natural ground. As my eyes move up I see the tall and old apartment buildings in the distance.
My eyes suddenly stop when I notice a small glint of light on the roof of one of the apartment buildings. This makes me curious, so I squint my eyes to see better. At start, it's pretty foggy, but slowly, I start to see who it is.
"Fucking Glyr."I mutter and then show the middle finger of my right hands towards him, showing that I have noticed him and not happy about it. I hold it for a few seconds, before the glint disappears and I see his figure disappearing. So this means that his mission was to stay out of sight and now that i had noticed him, he had failed it
"Why are you flipping off the trees so early in the morning?"
"Reasons."I reply back to her, as she sits down next to me and I turn to look at her. She has blond hair with light blue tips. Her eyes are hazel coloured and on a smaller scale. Her face is above average, but easily pretty with make up.
"Thats your answer for everything. Why's that?"she replies, while taking out her things.
"Reasons."I answer, just to annoy her.
"Of fucking course. Reasons like always"she replies. Then out of nowhere, she mutters"Shit."
"What did you forget now?"I ask her, because always when I hear mutter that word, she forgot something.
"My homework."she says and then turns to me"Please show me yours."
"Nope."I immediately reply to her. "I'll buy you lunch."she adds.
Without replying, I just pass her the notebook, which she immediately opens and intense copying of homework following it. The sound of the pen writing on the paper could be heard clearly, as she kept writing all of lines of numbers and symbols in a black tint. And few seconds before the class starts, she finishes and pushes my notebook back to me.
"Thanks."she says and puts the pen away back to her pencil case.
Few seconds later, the bell rings, marking the start of the first lesson of the day. But because the teacher isn't currently here, the class is loud with everyone talking to each other.
"So what did you too during the weekend?"she asks me, while looking at me with her pair of hazel coloured eyes.
"Stuff with my girlfriend. You?"I reply back to her and then ask her too.
"Same"she answers"I did stuff with my girlfriend too."
"Which one?"I ask her, because they switch so often for her and usually the other girl breaks up with her, because Jane here can't focus only on one girl. She always has at least three girls and record being seven at one time. She falls in love fast and falls out of love the same way: fast.

"Erica."she answers and then closing on me a little, she asks"So when will I meet with your girlfriend."
"You have, you just don't know who she is exactly."I answer back to her. Can't really say that I am dating a teacher, because if word that/of me and Nat are dating got out, a shitstorm would follow it pretty quickly. Nat would probably get fired and never be a teacher again and I would be probably kicked out of the school too. I really don't care about what I would receive, but I don't want to ruin it for her.
"Hmmmmm."she looks at me with a suspicious case and then she declares"I will find out who she is before you decide to tell me."
"Good luck with that."I tell her and the same moment, the teacher walks into the glass.
"Good morning Class. Please take out your notebooks so i can check them."she says while walking in front of the class, towards her table, where she puts down her beg and looks at the class. She then starts going to seat-to-seat to check everyone's homework.
"Kane. Done like always."she says while looking at mine and then looking at Janes, she says"Jane. Copied from Kane like always."
"No. I did it myself."Jane replies back to her.
"Jane... Don't lie to yourself."the teacher says and then moves on. She can't mark her for having homework undone, because she had it done, even If it is copied.
"How did she know?"she asks me and I, with a small grin, reply"Only I use this formula do solve these kinds of calculation. The rest use what the teacher taught them, including you, Jane."
"Huh...So use what others use then. Maybe then I won't get caught."she tells me.
"Maybe do it yourself."I tell, to which she shakes her head and replies"Don't have time. Too busy."
"Whatever you say."I tell her and after I say that, she goes quiet, because the teacher started to teach the class. I look at her drawing equations on the black board and as she does that, the more bored I get as the time passes.
Finally, the bell rings, ending the lesson. All of the students immediately pack their things up, get up and then leave through the white door.
"What's next?"Jane asks me, as we leave the class."I have Japanese and you, Spanish."
"Okay then. Adios."
"Jaane."
We say our goodbyes and go to our classes.
A minute later, I'm sitting on my seat in the class and wait for the lesson to begin. My place is in the back, like in most of the classes, as i feel too uncomfortable to sit at the front. And from this seat, I can see without much trouble what everyone does. I see few of the boys preparing their cheating methods: pictures on phones, words written down on small pieces of paper and all of the other now classical ways. I myself don't cheat out of respect for the teachers. This was beaten into me by Her.
"So did you study?"a boy asks while sitting down in front of me.
"
"Aah screw you."he says in English, while I said in Japanese, which meant he understood only few of the words.
"So I take it that you didn't study. Again."
"What do you mean again. I study."this reply makes me chuckle a little and then I reply"Sure. Whatever you say."
"Aah fuck you and your smarts."he says and turns around towards his table.
"I just studied a lot as a child."I tell him, while turning my head towards the window. This time when I look outside, I see a woman standing, just standing there and looking at me with her dead fish like eyes. She doesn't move an inch while staring at me and for some reason, I don't look away. So naturally, our eyes met and the out of the sudden, her figure turned into a three meter shadowy human like thing for a split second, before turning back to the woman form and the disappearing.
A fucking Stalker..this time of the day and a female form too. What the actual fuck...Did i just see that, or did Mark somehow influence me too see the World of Magic again and now, the two worlds are in stir in my head....No no no. Kane. Don't fucking go there....You have Natasha now and right now, you Are going to take the test, which you have to get an A, so you could do her. Yes. Focus on that and not the other shit.
"
"
Natasha puts her thins on the shelf behind her chair and then says"Okay. You have Five minutes to revise and then, we shall start the test."
Immediately, everyone starts to go over the things they remember the least and I decided to just go over it once more, just in case. Never can be too well prepared.
"I think I did pretty good."Oliver says, while we are leaving the class forty minutes later, after the test ended.
"You said the last time and then you got an F...-."
"Don't be a smartass, Kane Bloodsword."he tries to mock me with my name, but it doesn't turn out well, and realising it, he mutters"Actually...it sounds kinda badass."
"And here's the second thing you failed today."I say.
"I haven't failed the test yet."he snaps back.
"Okay okay. I'm just fucking with you."I say, while walking towards the English class and when we get there, we go to our separate classes. His class is nr 205 and mine nr 204. Me and Oliver go to different class and we are in the same class only during Japanese class, other times in different. So most of the time, I'm hanging out with Jane in class, except during Japanese/Spanish classes, when we are in separated classes. The reason she chose Spanish is because she grew up in Spain and only came here when it was time to go to high school and she got into this one.
Hours pass and it is finally time for Lunch, which means, there is a line of forty or so students of my year in a line to but their food. Those who aren't standing here, are already at their table and eating what ever they brought from home.
"The usual?"Jane asks me and I answer with a nod.
"Thats good. My wallet couldn't handel much more."she says and we then move few steps forward.
"So when will you cut your hair?"she asks me, while looking at me over her shoulder.
"Someday. When will you stop bleaching and dyeing your hair?" i ask her back and receive the reply i gave her "Someday."
We once again take a few steps and this time, it our turn to order finally.
"Okay. One lasagna and a Hawaii pizza slice."she orders from the staff, who says"That'll be 4.65."
"Here." Jane says and puts the five euro bill on the counter and receives the change alongside with the food she ordered. She takes her pizza and I, my lasagna and we move on. On the way to our table, we grab a glass of juice, which is free, and we walk to our table, where Oliver is sitting, eating his moms pie.
"You're going to get fat if you keep eating like that."I say and sit down on the chair, with Jane sitting next to me.
"Aah shut up Kane."Oliver says across the table and keeps eating.
"Two more lessons and then we get to go home."Jane says and then stretches her arms, before starting to eat.
"You two yes."I sat"I have to stay and fix that fucking hole."
"You mean the hole in the third floors wall?"Olivier asks me.
"Yep."I answer back.
"Why tho?"he asks me.
"Because Kane here supposedly threw Jack into the wall when they got into a fight. Jack was put into the hospital with a few broken bones and concussion."
"Why haven't I heard of that?"Oliver asks.
"Because it happened last Friday after school and you were home that day. It also happened after school, so only a few know about this."Jane explains and when Oliver turns his head towards me, to get a confirmation, I just nod, while chewing my food.
"Okay. I rather not ask how you did it, as I would get a stupid and an unclear answer like always."
We all then let out a small laugh and keep enjoying the lunch.
Four hours later,
I finished covering the hole in the wall and currently, I was coming out of the school workshop, where I left the tools I used. As i walk in the quiet corridor of the mostly empty school, I look at the time, to see it's nearly five. As I walk, I feel the nature calling, so I go to the mens room. This place smells horrible like always.
I stand in front of the urinal and then suddenly, I feel a familiar presence.
"A Shadow in the school....Nope doesn't concern me."I mutter and finish my business.
"Doesn't concern me at ~all. Not my job anymore. Let someone else deal with it."I say and then, I hear a female scream.

"Natasha."I mutter her name and rush out of the place.
