wish

In an unpredictable world where drinking liquor, smoking cigarettes,and mating I was out of it. I can't be in it, rather I would want to be in it at least it's what I think. But the world won't allow me to. Or maybe It's my world that didn't allow me to.

I lived innocently in my entire highschool life,never thinking of drinking alcohol, sipping cigarettes or even having a girl by my side,"Boring". I dropped out of college because of boredom thinking I can find a better life this way. Not knowing what my future would lead me to. Started to work under the hot sun planting vegetables. I thought it was easy. I can do it but it only makes my life even harder. Drowning myself with alcohol. Yes I felt joy but temporary, smoking cigarettes yet nothing happened. It was all wrong. I was wrong the whole time. Only make my life more boring or they say miserable.

One cold dark starry night where I found myself drunk smoking trying to figure out those times I wasted doing crazy things in my life, thinking how my future continues with nothing I learn from my past. Wondering if there's something to gain this present to keep me moving forward for my better future.

*Sigh* ....

"I Wish ...…..

A sudden bright light from the sky flashes through my eyes force's me to tightly close my eyes. As my eyes were closed I could feel that my body's getting warmer and warmer, minutes after I carefully opened my eyes and saw my surroundings were clearly bright as a day when it was cold and dark as I know. I found myself in a place that feels like I've been before, glancing left and right, recognizing the surroundings where I was.

There were three rows of arm desk chairs and one table at the very front. The moment I recognized the blackboard is when I realized.

"Why?".Why am I at school?". "I already graduated, didn't I?."Is this for real?.

Lots of questions I ask myself and don't know the answers.Lots of doubt in my head that I don't want to believe in. As I don't want to believe it, I tried to pinch my ears to feel some pain, and tried to hold my breath if I ever wake up from this so-called dream I'm having.

*Ring...…

*Ring...…

*Ring...…

A sudden school bell rang from outside the building I'm in. Where a 5 '1 tall boy I'm familiar with appeared outside the room where I'm currently in, entering the front door wearing a blue tshirt with a black pants. Few seconds later two girls entered the room directly going to their assigned chair, one with short hair in a ponytail and one with dyed brown hair who's inch taller than the girl in the ponytail. As I tried to recognize them, flashes of memories gushed through my head remembering something like they were my classmates from high school.

"Yeah! this really is the past, but how!" I mumbled to myself.

While I'm busy trying to figure out how I'm at school?. Why am I back?. I didn't realize that the room was filled with people I'm still familiarizing with and some people I recognized.

"Isn't she!? Is he!?"

"Yeah! there's no doubt I'm back"

"That ring was the time for the next subject as far as I can remember". As I'm recalling all my past memories a girl with shoulder long black hair wearing glasses sat beside me. "If I'm not mistaken her name is Clarissa". One of the honorol's in the classroom, then there's me, one of the idiots in the class. Knows nothing but to sleep and escape in class.

Sigh….

Since I'm not yet really sure if it's a dream or maybe it's a nightmare I just smile at her, never thinking she would smile back. Makes my mind calm with all the headache I'm having.Just as I'm about to ask her what the next subject is? She and my classmates suddenly stood up, I got agitated so I also stood up.

(All students) "Good Morning Teacher Garry!". He's one of those people who's trying to find the value of their "X" and even including "Y" as their stepping stone yet still no use and couldn't find it's value. In short he specialises as a math teacher.

He is wearing a yellow varsity uniform like he was in a kind of club or something. He was holding some weird 10 inches long pointy colorless crystal like it's an empty bottle I've only seen in movies while he's entering the classroom.

"Whoa it looks really real!" You can see at the top that it's showing some kind of aura or something.

"Good Morning! you may all sit down, he stated". We all sat down and focused our attention on teacher Garry on what topic he's about to teach us his students. I was so curious and turned my focus to the colorless crystal he just placed at the top of the table.

"Okay Class today we are about to find out what affinity you are with".

"What!?..... Affinity? what's the relation of affinities with our subject mumbling myself in shock".

"Mr. Ian, are you not feeling well, is there a problem? Looks like you're confused by what I just said." Teacher Garry asked.

"No sir" i answer

"Then what are you mumbling in your set then?".

Ah..... nothing sir nothing I just shook my head like it was really nothing even though I didn't get why he said affinity!?. I started to feel that something's wrong. "

"Ok class to check what your affinity is with, all you have to do is pour a bit of your energy into this cristal. Since I already discussed all kinds of elements yesterday let's proceed checking what your affinity is with.

Then we'll do it alphabetically first Albert Akidang teacher Garry called".

"This is really not right, something's going on here! I don't remember anything about affinity and now elements that he ever discussed. "This really is a nightmare". My mind's already in a mess and don't know where I really am, and don't even know what's going on.

Albert, who's sitting at the front seat in the second row, stands up and goes to the front facing the crystal and starts to hold the crystal. A yellowish color slowly appears inside the crystal, after a sudden

sparkle at the top of the pointed crystal forming a little fire like a lighter figure.

"Whoa...….

"You have an affinity with Fire, congratulations. Ok next from the girls Annaliza Sebio.

I'm at my desk observing everything, figuring out how my classmates did or what they do to make the crystal change its color, for me to understand the situation I'm in and not causing trouble again. I felt someone stand's up behind me since I was setting at the second to the last line of row beside the window. A girl who has a slim body with long black hair that makes her look like she's tall though She's only 5'0. She looks so nervous while she's going at the front reaching the cristal, as soon as she holds the crystal a dark blue takes over the colorless crystal at the top of the crystal appears a ball shaped water.

"Congratulations you have the affinity with Water".

As the evaluation continues here I am waiting nervously for my turn thinking or rather doubting what I'll be affinity with or do I even have.

Ian.....Mr. Ian

I was out of my mind staring outside and didn't notice that I was being called by the teacher until my seatmate tapped my shoulder whispering (hey it's your turn) I stood up from where I'm sitting approaching the crystal at the front.

I was about to reach the crystal when teacher Garry speaks,

"Mr. Ian you look weird today it's like you're out of the world, did you not take your medicine" *mocking me as he started to laugh softly. Ok enough with that you may continue. I'm facing the front hearing giggles coming from my classmates, ignoring everything firmly holding the crystal. I focused all my attention to the crystal I'm holding, there I felt something inside my body that's unexplainable.

"You're compatible with wind and earth congratulations" Ok next.

I was half way walking back to my seat when a hologram suddenly appeared in front of me, huh! What is this? I asked myself while waving my hand to clear it because it was blocking my eyesight.

I pressed the empty box and started filling up the information while returning back to my seat.

" You really didn't take your medicine Mr. Ian, what are you doing? Pointing your finger in the air. Laughter covers the whole classroom while I'm just standing frozen thinking why are they laughing. "Am I the only one who can see this hologram? Do they not have it? questioning myself. I chose to ignore my classmates and sit on my assigned seat proceeding filling up what's In front of me in secret. Avoiding any more trouble.
