Chapter 3: The Other John

John finds his other self in the mirror world, but he wishes he hadn't.

He finds him in the cafeteria of his school, where he is surrounded by a crowd of admirers. He sees that his other self is wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses, with a smirk on his face. He sees that his other self is taller and stronger, with more muscles and tattoos.

He sees that his other self is more handsome and charming, with more charisma and confidence. He sees that his other self is more popular and successful, with more friends and followers.

He sees that his other self is everything he is not.

He feels a surge of envy and resentment towards his other self.

He decides to approach him and confront him.

He pushes his way through the crowd and stands in front of his other self.

He greets him and asks him who he is.

His other self looks at him with a mocking and arrogant expression.

He tells him that he is John, of course.

He tells him that he is the best version of John, the one who has it all.

He tells him that he is the John who lives in the mirror world, the one who rules it.

He tells him that he doesn't know who he is, but he doesn't care.

He tells him that he should get out of his face and leave him alone.

He laughs at him, along with his crowd of admirers.

He walks away from him, leaving him humiliated and furious.

John tries to befriend his other self, but he soon regrets it.

He tries to follow his other self and talk to him.

He tells him that he is his other self from another world, the one who came through the mirror.

He tells him that he wants to know more about him and his world, that he wants to learn from him and his experiences.

He tells him that he thinks they have a lot in common, that they can be friends and allies.

He tells him that he needs his help to get out of this world and return to his own.

His other self listens to him with a bored and amused expression.

He tells him that he doesn't believe him or care about him.

He tells him that he doesn't want to know more about him or his world, that he doesn't want to learn from him or his experiences.

He tells him that they have nothing in common, that they can't be friends or allies.

He tells him that he doesn't need his help to get out of this world and return to his own.

He tells him that he likes this world and wants to stay in it.

He tells him that he is happy and satisfied with his life, that he has everything he ever wanted.

He tells him that he is sorry for him and his life, that he has nothing he ever wanted.

He tells him that he should give up and accept his fate, that he should join him and enjoy this world.

He tells him that he is the only one who can resist the love encounters in this world, because he loves himself more than anyone else.

He tells him that he is the only one who can control the mirror world, because he knows its secrets and mysteries.

He tells him that he is the only one who can escape from the mirror world, because he has the key to do so.

He shows him his key, which is a necklace identical to John's, except that it has a small mirror pendant instead of a cross pendant.

He tells him that this is the real key to the mirror world, the one that Alice Walker gave him when she visited this world.

He tells him that Alice Walker was a liar and a traitor, who wrote a book full of lies and traps to lure people into the mirror world and keep them there forever.

He tells him that Alice Walker was his enemy and his victim, who tried to stop him from ruling the mirror world and failed miserably.

He tells him that Alice Walker is dead and buried in the mirror world, where no one can find her or help her.

He laughs at him, along with his crowd of admirers.

He walks away from him, leaving him shocked and terrified.
