Kesem's Pov.
The following day, Mr. Pom was addressing us. "All Gifted students will enjoy the highest privileges in the school." "You'll have access to better facilities than your ordinary classmates."
"Compliance to dress code is not strictly enforced on you, in addition, you'll get to stay in your own dorm room, You'll receive regular health check-ups in school. All this is for you to develop your potential to the fullest. I ask that you focus on discovering your potential."
"At first, it can be taxing and difficult for you but the school is ready to support you in any way we can."
"Lastly, i want you to believe in the program, believe in the teachers and believe in yourselves. And you will definitely find out why you are here in this program.
Days after days of practicing, being tested, going for medical check-ups, going to the gym and so on. The day we were tested using a Rubiks cube. I was so clueless as to where to start. I might have been a genius last year doesn't mean I'm good at everything.
Going to the gym to test our strength and stamina. Using the punching bag was worse for me cause i could barely move the demon. How can i? It would break my beautiful and soft hands duh!.
Running laps was torture! Oh don't let me get started on lifting weights. Ugh! I'm mentally cursing Mr. Pom and the Director.shhh don't tell on me okay? Smile.
Sometimes we would be given some case to study, like i care about someone already dead. Sometimes books to read and so on. It was extremely torturous.
On the fifth day, i went to Mr. Pom after class. Because I've been having doubts and I'm really considering about my position in the school. I mean if I'm so good in academics how is it that I still haven't found my potential? While some of the Class 1 students have so to clear my doubts i decided to see Mr Pom.
"Sir, are you sure the school didn't make any mistake in choosing me to become part of the program? "
Smiling Mr. Pom replied" Listen to me Kesem, An exam to this program was conducted with extreme rigor and in a critical manner. The director oversaw the process in every step by himself. Rest assured there is no mistake."
But i still had my fear and doubts so i asked.
"Why do I feel like I can't seem to catch-up with my classmates?, i can't seem to understand what the assignment is about."
Smirking he asked "Really?, Do you not understand it? "
"Listen to me Kesem, All of your classmates are wondering the same thing. Now i want you to focus on my question. Think carefully about what has happened in the past few days. You may find an answer hidden somewhere in there."
Sitting in my room reading the document we were given on the first day of class. Feeling tired, i opened my fridge and brought out a chilled bottle water. Slurping,
I began exploring my memory. Then i remembered when we were playing basketball in the gym as part of our test, i leaned against the second locker due to tiredness.
I remember turning to my right and noticing Mon panting against the locker then she sat on the floor and leaned her back on the locker. I remember looking towards the floor and seeing she had shifted the locker with her weight which isn't possible because of the weights inside one of the opened locker them.
I remember seeing Ohm bleeding from his nose while arranging the Rubiks Cube. Those were the two i noticed something strange about. With a conclusion in mind, i left the dorm and headed in the direction of the Gifted library.
Getting there i went to the fantasy and Psychic powers session. After grabbing some selected books, i went looking for a secluded part of the library.
While looking i saw Wave seated with a laptop opened right in front of him. Not wanting to talk to anyone, i decided to just pass by him, but my plan backfired because when I'd gotten close to him, he caught my left free hand.
Soon after we jerked apart because the moment our hands touched sparks emitted from our hands shocking us both. Making us look at our hands like they were foreign to us. Wanting to ignore it.
"Hi, i just want to ask you if you could seat by me."Wave said
Suprised i replied" oh, thank you, but do you promise not to disturb?"
"Sure" he chuckled.
Taking my seat opposite Wave, i began my adventure into the pages of the book, where i found so many things and i also learned about Mon's Potential, which is Super Strength and Enhanced Agility.
Three hours has gone by with me reading different books. I was broken out of my concentration by two best friends talking between two shelfs. I could hear their conversation properly with my newfound enhanced hearing but i didn't want to interfere, so i ignore them.
Since i couldn't focus anymore, i decided to just eavesdrop, if it can be called that when it's like they're talking right next to you.
The conversation turned into a different way when Pang made a statement which i know he regretted the moment it left his lips.
Nac taking offense to this and gave Pang a painful reply which made Wave interfere saying "Now that you've pushed yourself out of a slum, don't use your slum manner around here".
Kicking Wave lightly with my soaks covered feet. I whispered "Don't make matters worse" but Wave didn't listen.
Annoyed, Nac walked towards Wave "This is none of your freaking business"
Wave already on his feet took a step towards Nac "You have no business being here. This is a Gifted Zone".
"So?" Nac questiones "is a Gifted student that much special than other students?"he asked annoyed pushing Wave, Wave holding his chair to avoid the fall.
Watching them i couldn't help but breakout in a sweat scared for Wave because i know he hasn't been himself, which i noticed since I saw him. He has been sweating in this air-conditioned room and for an odd reason i know its because of his potential.
Replying, Wave said "Of course, Even more so, don't forget you have lower status than i do now. Remember when i said I'd be in the Gifted program and you'll stay in Room 1 with a leech. My words has come true, The only difference is that you're the leech."Right Pang? "he asked turning to Pang.
Looking between both of them, Pang knew what was going to happen.
Nac exclaiming" Shit Wave!". About to push Wave when Pang stepped in between them. Exclaiming" Don't!" towards an unfocused Nac.
Nac who just wanted to beat up Wave badly pushed Pang, the force making Pang fall backwards towards Wave. Wave taken the final blow landed on the floor his head hitting the award shelf behind him.
Seeing this, i didn't know what came over me, all i know is that i felt a shift in me. Because the next minute i screamed a very high pitch scream calling out Ms. Ladda!!.
