10 A New Friend?

In the previous chapter-

Jack hung up. Jenny sat there for minutes.

So this was the real mendel? And she hated him for no reason? Her heart filled with compassion... she'd been cruel... but was he trustworthy?

"Yo brainless, you forgot your phone" jack handed it to me. He came back a few days ago and was welcomed with a few insults and hugs. He took a day off just to finish the photography magazine he's bought yesterday. Sometimes I couldn't understand why Jack was reading those because he took better pictures than pictures in most magazines.

I met Holly on my way to the university. She jumped to hug me as soon as she saw me.

"Hey!! Get off me" I smiled.

"Nope. No way" she hugged me tighter.

"Do not force a gentleman to push a lady madam" I smiled.

"No, your princess will not allow you to do that."

"I'm the queen."

"No you're my king" she chuckled.

"Whatever. I missed you" I made Holly let go of me.

"I knew you would" she started to pull her own shirt's collar.

"Egoistic". A can was rolling on the street. I guessed that was not the ideal place to test my powers. I could only do that at home.

By the time we reached the classroom, there was only three seats left which we hurriedly took. The left seat beside me was empty and I'd have preferred it that way.

"Hello, can I sit here?" A guy smiled softly. His hazel eyes were sparkling, decorated with his artistic eyebrows.

"Uhh sure" I was unsure what else to say. His face was unfamiliar.

He sat. A smile was still playing on the corner of his lips.

"You're new here? " Holly asked. She was quite friendly to strangers, especially if they're nice people or handsome guys. But I didn't like to talk to new people for no reason.

"Yeah, I'm Noah. What's your name?" He asked.

"I'm Holly" she smiled sweetly, as usual. There was an awkward silence before I found his gaze on me, waiting for an answer. I gave in.

"I'm Jenny" I said quietly.

"Jenny Greenteeth?" He smiled.

Holly laughed. I was confused until she looked at me and said, "Jenny Greenteeth or wicked Jenny was a river hag, she'd pull children or the elderly into the water and drown them."

"I got a nice name then."

"Is that really your surname?" Noah chuckled.

"Oh no. Her surname is Anderson. Mine is Abbott. What's yours?" She asked. She was sharing a little too much.

"Noah Wilson. Hey..."

Before he could say any further, the professor entered. The class was fun actually.

"Hey! Let's go to the cafeteria together?" He smiled warmly.

"Um" I stared at Holly. Maybe he was hitting on my cute bestie. My protective mode was on.

"Sure" she smiled. Okay whatever. I held her hand and started to talk about normal stuffs.

"I'm feeling a generation older" Noah said.

"Because you're left out of our convo?" Holly asked.

"Missy you're uh... the word 'smart' would be exaggerating" he smiled playfully.

"That's something I can agree with, elder" I smiled and mumbled softly.

"You two are determined to make me feel older".

We chatted for a while and went to the classroom 5 minutes after the bell rang. Classes were almost never boring in my opinion but Holly disagreed with me. Umm, I couldn't wait to get home and practice my abilities... did that healing still work?

The classes were over.

"Okay bye Ms. Greenteeth and Ms. Holy."

"Bye bye Mr. Bushy eyebrows" I said. He was easy to get along with. Finally, a male friend!

I waved Holly bye. I returned home and rushed upstairs. There were a book, a pen and a water bottle on my bed. Perfect. 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour passed. I kept trying to do what I did that day, in various ways. Nothing worked. To check, I cut my finger but thankfully it healed. That meant I still had the healing power. But could I heal others too?

Gradually I became too exhausted to even move. So I let that slide and laid on my bed.

In that dimly lit room, a black figure was coming near me, whispering things I didn't understand. I was unable to move my lips. He extended his arms towards me. A light so bright that it could make anyone blind, filled the room. I was finally able to scream. But when I opened my eyes, I was in my brother's arms.

"You were screaming, I came to your room and found you unconscious. Don't make me worried, please!" Jack was sweating.

I got up from the floor. "Um it was a nightmare." Exception it wasn't just a nightmare. It was a repetition of a memory. A petrifying one.
