Who am l ? Aira a new and quiet student asked herself arriving the compound of Aderyn Heights college. She is a quiet student, who was recently transfered to the school. She loves taking record of every memory of her life.
My name is Aira. She started, holding her camera and making a video of herself while speaking. I need to start keeping record of everything. She continued.
Strange things has been happening in my life lately and l think l need to start documenting them. She added taking a deep breath then continued.
I recently discovered that, there are demons living amongst us. We have them as friends, neighbors and families (groaning). But the reason we don't know about them is because there's a rule that binds them from using their powers on humans. We have the witches. We also have the jeans. They have the power to possess others to doing things against their own will. We have the ume travelers. These ones has the power to control time. Freeze time and also travel back and forth in time. No we have the seers. They have the power to see things of the past and also things that are yet to happen in the future. Aira pointed out carefully. Now, I'm sure you might be wondering how l got to know all this. I discovered that l am a seer.
She said, heading to her classroom for the day's lecture.
As she arrived her classroom. There was so much noise as students were getting settled for the day.
"What is this ?" Irene, the school's head girl asked a senior colleague who aspires to join her crew as she approached her at the entrance gate "Why are you dressed like this ?" She added.
"Ma, I'm sorry ", Anna pleaded with a trace of fear in her voice.
"Are you sure, you want to join then circus ?" Irene asked.
"Learn class, dumb ass bitch", She added with pride, leaving for classroom.
Ella—a very weird student who does not associate with people for reasons only she knew about, sat at the Music class with some other of her music colleagues.
"So tell me, how do l look ?" She asked Johnson, her ghost friend with beaming smiles wrapped all over her face.
"Good" Johnson replied.
"Just good ?" She asked with a sad look.
"Well, thank you... I know I did this for you" Ella continued with a soft smile.
Her classmates wondered who she was dialoguing with. Little did they know she was with her boyfriend who was their former classmate but died from a fatal car accident on his way to school years back.
Ella knew they were gossiping and saying all sorts of things about her and her weird lifestyle but she cared less so long as she knew nobody has an idea of what happened. She was good.
"I've missed you so much. If I've not missed you. Not anything." She continued with precision.
"It's been hell for me. I wish you could come back." She added with sadness written on her face.
"You know what. Just stay here for me, let me go write my test. I'll be back in minutes for you, okay?" Ella said leaving for her classroom for her test.
Just then. Aira saw what was happening as she was passing by.
"What are you guys doing?
What's going on here, please?" She asked two of her classmates who were watching through the class window.
"She has started again." Diana responded in a calm tone.
"Who?" Aira asked. Now with curiosity.
"Ella" Diana replied.
"Doing what", Aira asked.
"She has started talking to herself again", Diana answered.
It was then that it rang on Aira's head that Ella was not a normal student—she knew Ella possessed supernatural powers.
Aira quietly left.
They all headed back to their classroom after the music class.
There was noise all over the school compound.
The students were seated at their various classrooms and waiting patiently for their teacher.
"Hello", Mr. Nelson their physics teacher walked in amidst the noise.
"Good morning Mr Nelson." The students chorused.
"Sit down." The teacher replied.
He pointed at Sophia to explain their last topic at the last class.
"Capacitance...capa...capaci is..." She stammered.
Her classmates gave out a sharp pissing laughter which made her more ashamed of herself.
Sophia left the classroom to the school's playground to read and calm her body of the shame she was in.
Her friend, Linda came searching for her.
"Wow, you're here." She said sitting just beside her friend.
"I want to ask you a question?" Sophia started with a long weary face.
"Okay .Go on." Linda replied.
Sophia continued. Her heart was heavy and with much disappointment in her throat. "Just imagine you love a guy. But he doesn't love you. He doesn't even see you. He makes fun of you and makes you feel less of yourself. He makes you feel bad. Then you now realize he's so deeply in love with someone else. What are you going to do? Will you keep loving him? She asked.
"Hmm." Linda started
"I would fight for my love" she added.
Sophia gave her a very sharp innocent look.
Linda continued. "You know why, Sophia?
One, I'm a lover girl. I believe in love. And not all love comes with love at first sight. You have to get to know the person... to know if you are compatible with the person." She added with a warm smile.
"And... this so-called girl in question, are they married?" She asked
"No" Sophia replied with a nod.
"Are they engaged?" Linda asked again
"No" Sophia responded with a heavy nod.
Linda continued with gestures "So why are you worried? Why are you overthinking it? Moreover you don't even know if they're happy in the relationship." She added.
She paused as though she had remembered something. Adjusted her skirt and continued.
"Well, if you ask for my opinion. I will say... I'll fight for love." She said.
With anxiety, Sophia asked her "You mean you will do anything just for love?"
"Sophia, l said whatever it takes" Linda said, with confidence.
"Alright, I'll see you in class okay." Sophia added and left.
