Comeuppance

Chapter 2 - Knack of Getting People Involved

And so I took an examination the day after that night when we went to the University.

I think maybe I passed and that's why I am here right now inside of one of the rooms in Cade's big house. And I call him Cade because he said it is his real name. To be honest, I am very confused right now but maybe, just maybe it's the life of a magical person wherein they had to hide their real identities in the human world.

His real name is Kipween Cade H. Obregon.

Their maids brought me some clothes here in my room and I can't even stop staring at it because they are all floating in the air, the hanger, the clothes, the shoes waaaahh, it's just amazing, never seen such things.

But did Cade enroll me as a student in that University? What about the human world? Oh well, summer vacation is still going on there, there is nothing I should fear.

I went inside the Comfort Room and again, I am amazed. No matter how much you look at it, it really looks like am expensive hotel, it has bath tub, and then vanity table with a sofa and then there are two doors as well, one for the shower while the other one contains the toilet with sink and then the colors you'll usually catch sight of are gold and white. 

I went inside the door with the shower and took a bath. After doing so, I put the clothes on and the fabric is really comfortable. 

It's long sleeve turtle neck shirt and it has a cotton fabric plus denim jumper jeans and black sneakers with a denim backpack. Did Cade choose this all for me? He's quite fashionable more than I am ehe.

The house really is surrounded with gold and white that everywhere you look, its filled with those colors. And the house looks so bright with these colors, it inspires me to make a house with this kind of motif too but I won't even wish for it, it's too impossible.

Speaking of which---I wonder where's Mr. and Mrs. Pere--oh Obregon perhaps? Ugh this is too confusing why do they have to hide their identities argh. I wonder if they even know this world's existence but hey, Cade told me this was their family's house, Mr. Casper and Mrs. Frandia could be here.

I saw a gigantic mirror in the room like it was beyond my height for so many meters I think and so I decided to go over there but then I took the hair brush from the vanity table first then started combing my hair on the way to the large mirror.

I squeezed my eyes as I felt the pain from my hair getting pulled by the hair brush, it is soooo hard to comb my hair, it has curly tips and so dry and frizzy, when I finally made my way to the mirror--the only last thing I've heard is the sound of my hair brush falling on the floor. 

I am staring at someone else in the mirror. Is this some sort of another magical thing here? Ohmy! Could this be the thing like in Snow White? I tried to move and it copied me so I cleared my throat and..

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of all?"

She is following every movement I'm doing even with the way I breath and I am starting to get weirded out but everything will make sense once I get more used to things like this in this world right?

I instantly caught Cade's scent and it's getting nearer which means he's on his way. And a few minutes, I heard some knocks on the door and saw it slowly opened. 

"Cad----" I was gonna ask him what happened to the mirror or to me, is this really me, I wanted to ask him why am I seeing a different reflection in the mirror.. omg who is that girl I see? Staring straight back at me, why is my reflection someone I don't know? Huhu and Mulan too? I was gonna ask him but my hunch was wrong, Cade wasn't the one who entered the room.

I instantly bowed my head at him to pay respect because I don't know him and I can't just stand idly. This guy looks so handsome by the way, who is he? Maybe he's a butler? Yeah maybe he is but wow he's so handsome that you'd wish for his serviiiceee but then he looks so young and I noticed how his eyes looked at the hairbrush on the floor. 

"Analeas"

My eyes widened. His perfume, his voice, it really belongs to Cade. Even the way he calls my name, it's Cade it's really him.

"Is something the matter?" he asked.

I stared at him and then looked at the girl in the mirror and then him again, my eyes have been repeating it for many times not until he---

He smiled and the dimples on the corners of his lips just showed up and it literally just brightened the room even more, he slowly walked towards me but I got scared since I don't know him so I took some steps backward.

"You must be confused. This is how I really look like without anything to cover my appearance in the human world."

He made me face the mirror by holding both of my shoulders and I saw his reflection and the girl too so does this mean this mirror is just like a normal mirror in the human world? Which means this girl is really me? But how? I don't have any magic thingy, what happened to my face.

"I don't think you'll believe it when I say this is how you really look like, Analeas, I don't know how exactly but your looks have changed the moment we stepped in this world."

I am so confused again right now, what have I gotten myself into? This is crazy! I don't understand anything that he said. "Here drink this." he gave a bottle of water and becauseee becauseee I feel like I lost my tongue and couldn't utter any words because of what is happening right now, I instantly finished the bottle of water, it just really made me feel like I had a dry throat and I couldn't talk but I think it's just that I'm totally speechless!

He took the empty bottle from me after I drank all of the water in it.

"So are you telling me, you're Cade?" I looked at him and he nodded and smiled again.

Aish I feel like I'm so dizzy right now but then heyyyy I noticed his cute outfit, he's wearing a jacket but it looks like a tuxedo and with a white inner clothes with pants that has the same color as the tux and of course, necktie. 

It suits him well. Are fictional boys really like this? They're really like the ones I read in novels, watch in Korean dramas and other movies. I thought they really weren't real but why were they invented if they weren't real in the first place?

Why do some terms used for them exist if they don't even exist? But I knew that they weren't real, I was well-informed that they weren't but look at, this guy standing beside me is already a proof of it.

I felt his hand pulling my wrist to drag me out of the room. 

Next thing I knew we already arrived in the University where we went last night. I know it's the one because it has a certain smell.

I got even more amazed and astounded now that its beauty is clearer now that the sun is shining brightly on it.

We stopped in front of a door. "This will be your classroom." he said as he looked at me and once again smiled at me.

"Cade, I have a lot of questions."

"I know, save those for later and btw, Tagalog is the main language here but mostly people speak English."

My jaw dropped. They really know how to speak Tagalog but since I always hear people speaking English here I should just blend in and go with the flow to avoid getting doubted.

"Cge kita kits nalang mamaya." (Translation: "Alright, so I'll just see you later") I smiled because of my excitement I mean this is a Fictional school. I just got lost in this fictional world but hey I have lots of maps, getting lost is impossible. This rarely happens and I'm not even sure this is real this could just be a dream so I wanna enjoy it.

"See you at lunch." he said as he slowly walked away from me. And just now while watching Cade walk away, I notice all the stares and I can even hear what they're saying about me, they are all looking at me as if I did a very unforgivable crime so I just shrugged and opened the classroom's door.

As I decided to go in after taking a deep breath, the smile on my lips totally disappeared because of what I am feeling right now. The atmosphere is heavy and I noticed how they looked at me and pretended I was nothing so they just continue what they're doing after looking at me for 1 second.

I noticed that they were words written on the chairs and figured that it could probably be the owner's name so I looked for some chairs without a name on it.

And so later on, a group of friends consisting girls arrived and their perfumes are fusing in my nose but I can still identify which is which and to whom it belongs although their scent really is strong.

I noticed that one of them is really pretty and at the same time cute, she moves so gently and really girly but it doesn't look overreacting at all, it is so natural and suits her well, she is very cute especially when she laughs! Ahhhhhh she's so cuteee oh God of the heavens help.

It is quite noisy especially that everyone has their squads and group of friends, it's also like those human schools in my world, it doesn't seem much different from it. I was looking around when I suddenly caught a familiar scent, my eyes widened after remembering whose scent it belongs, I am not sure if it really is his but I really smelled this yesterday.

Don't tell me he's going in...

When the door opened, I automatically leaned my face on the arm of the armchair so that I could hide my face.

I can sense that his scent is getting nearer and nearer. Omg, omg, Gods from the heavens help me omg. I closed my eyes while leaning omg, what have I done? And now I feel like I am really sure that it is his scent.

Everyone and everything really got quiet while I am here, just leaning my head to hide my face because I feel like he is just standing here beside my chair, omg.

I slowly lifted my head and opened one of my eyes---

"So it is you."

And automatically my head leaned again.  Everything around us was still quiet and I can feel the tense and the nervousness especially that I can hear how loud and fast my heart beat is, huhuhu what now but hey why on earth should I feel nervous for facing and standing up against someone who has no moral values?

I lifted my head and said "Yes it is me." I said as I leaned my head on the arm of the armchair again.

"Hala sya yong babae kahapon!" (Translation: Oh my! She was the girl from yesterday!) I knew that he was referring to me, he was that guy who was completely useless and just standing at the side yesterday, also leaving the girl carry heavy loads.

I felt that his scent got even nearer and even pulled me up from my chair. I was surprised by what he did.

"What?! Someone's trying to get some sleep here, why are you disturbing me?!" I said as I tried to get my arm away from the hand of the totally useless guy from yesterday. 

"You said you can't speak, thought you were a mute but-----"

"That's enough, she's obviously new here." I looked at the direction of the origin of the voice that spoke for me, it is a girl that I couldn't even smell or feel her presence at least but the girls with her were the ones I can feel, maybe she can't afford strong perfumes.

"It's not so you to meddle in this kind of things, Miss Tengukonoshi." I slowly looked at her and her blue eyes really caught my attention. She has a straight brownish long hair.

Her eyelashes are so perfect, with well defined eyebrows, her red lips, her cute pointy nose, her pale white skin... she's the definition of perfection but I can't smell her or even sense her presence.

"I hate troubles, Mr. Amintianus and y'all are just so noisy and annoying. Why don't you knock some sense into your assistant, Mr. Alvarez?"

"Then why do you go to public places when you know troubles like this could possibly occur?"

"Why do you even cause trouble when you know it's a public place?"

My eyes kept shifting between this girl and guy arguing about something until I slowly shifted my eyes at the guy who I have spoke with nicely last night, he is simply closing his eyes while crossing his arms, sitting next to me, now that is hot but still no morals so no.

"Spoiled brat!"

"Useless Jerk."

The boy was still about to throw another argument but the professor arrived and made everyone sit back down to their proper places..

"We have two transferees this year, you know yourself so stand up and state your name at least."

I noticed that the super duper white guy wearing all black stood up and introduced himself to us. "Nazkiel Lombardi"

My heart beat so fast and loud as I stood up and I cleared my throat before speaking. "Ko---Ana-Analyseana V-Va--"

I was stunned for some time because I forgot what my surname is. All I could feel is the cold air coming out from the air conditioner that made me have goosebumps all over my body, the chills are running in my back.

"Vanidestin ata." (Translation: Vanidestin maybe?)  I uttered as I heard them laughing.

"Ata?" (Translation: Maybe?" The professor asked as I saw in my peripheral vision that he's trying to read something in his notebook. 

"There's no Ata in your name here so I assume you're hesitating about your surname?"

I looked at him and and just smiled, omg, I am so nervous "hehe", he was just looking at me with his blank face.

"You two may sit. Welcome to Intermediate 7, Class A, I am the professor for your English Class, Proximo Cavalier." he said.

I was able to breath properly and looked at the guy who pulled me up awhile ago and saw how he was dying to tease me as he was laughing and it seemed that he is mocking me, I narrowed my eyes and look at the professor who is now setting his things up that he will be needing for this class in front.

"Okay, let's start."

Another Person's Point of View

"Could the prophecy be real?"

I shifted my head to look at him, thinking so deeply like that, ugh he looks so weird when he does that.

"Stop thinking, it doesn't suit you." I told him.

"I don't wanna impress you by doing something that suits me, baka gahasain mo pa ako." (Translation: "I don't wanna impress you by doing something that suits me, you might r**e me." he said as he covered his chest with his arms.

I gave him a death glare. He's windy as f**k. As if someone like me could possibly like him, he's way below my standard.

"Anyways, the prophecy may said it was twins it said that the other one is really and confirmed to be a boy so that new student can't really be the one." I answered him.

"Ara, it doesn't always mean that way."

"Damian, you're over thinking." I said.

"You should really see for yourself, Obregon even placed a lot of concealers around the kid just to hide the overwhelming strength of the kid."

I was stunned for a moment. Obregon is included. He's one kid that you never expect to be part of any scheme unless it is something serious. He is smart despite of being in Class F. I heard he just transferred because of his friends, ah I'm taking my words back, I thought he never engages in any craziness but the fact he transferred for the sake of being with his troublemaker friends is a different level of craziness.

Sacrificing class A is a big loss but it seemed that they didn't want pressure. Their parents just allowed them to coz why not? They knew they're smart.

His friends were also supposed to be in Class A but all are crazy. There are 3 of them. I'm always worried about their future but it seemed that they only wanted to enjoy.

Aside from being smart, they're handsome.

And the real deal is that two of them is A-Class Individuals and the other one is Z-Class and that is why they're famous. They're all dangerous, you never know when they will try to hit and strike.

As a teacher, I can tell they're really strong although they still can't beat me. But I've gotten this far because of my experience but during those years, I wasn't even as strong.

"I might see it for myself later. What's the name again?" I asked.

Well, whoever she is, she is interesting, making Damian think deep, getting the kid, Obregon involved.. She has the knack of getting serious people involved. I need to see her.

"Intermediate 7 Class A, Vandestin."

I was stunned again. "Vandestin?" I asked, clarifying what I heard.

"It's just a fake name given by Obregon."

"Ah. I see. She has the same age as Obregon? So obviously, automatically she's elimina----"

"She's as smart. Almost same IQ Level with Tengukonoshi, that's how she got into class A. It is understandable that she can't really match up right now or totally have the same coz she grew up in the human world and did not study here but the fact that she was able to catch up was really impressive."

I am so nervous. So she is also accelerated mentally and I even thought she was related to someone who would make her more interesting. They both really remind me of Morayxonn. The bell rang just when I finished preparing. Nice timing.

I stood up and went to my class.

Koukishin's POV

I just now have realized what I got myself into. I just realized that there are schools in the fictional world and so here it is but hey at least, their discussions aren't boring, the seat works are interesting and it is actually entertaining even if the teachers are so strict. 

Well at least maybe. When the bell rang, another teacher came in, asking us again what our names are but this time I made sure to remember it.

Analyseana Vanidestin

And I just realized it now that this is my sister's surname, I remembered how much I really wanted and dreamed of this surname and yehey at least, I used it even if it's just in here. And Cade really remembered the names I liked, Analyz and Yanah.

After some class periods, it was finally lunch time and since I don't know the way to the cafeteria, I just decided to sit down and think about how I'll get there.. hmm.. I need a map of this school!

See you at lunch.

I heard Cade's voice replaying in my mind. I stood up but then something blocked my foot which cused me to lose balance and fall on the floor..

Ouch! My kneeeeee hurtsss soo baddddd!!!!

My eyes were tearing up because of the pain when I heard my classmates laughing.

"Don't you know who you were talking back to awhile ago?" and then suddenly a group of girls surrounded me.

Ah yeah. Fictional world involves bullying the likes of me a lame s**t. But argh my knee really hurts, what kind of floor is this anyway, it's like I can't understand what it's made of.

"No but they don't know any morals so I believe it was just deserts." I answered despite the fact that I couldn't even stand.

I wish there would be someone in the fictional world to defend me from this bullying girls like of those what I read in novels and watch in Korean dramas.

"Just deserts? I think you're the one who got your consequence for talking back to them."

"Good for you, that we are being considerate coz you're new so you only receive this."

"They also went easy on you coz you don't know them."

Well those dudes maybe are famous, they are handsome so no questions as to why they have a lot of fan girls who will react whenever someone bashes them like the way I did. 

I was looking at my swollen knee. I don't think any prince charming will come to save me right now so I stood up.

I took the backpack and grab something from it, I am having a hard time standing up but I will really slap this to their face, I need to.

I gave them maps one by one and they even held it as if it was some dirty thing that hasn't been washed for more than 10 years.

"What the f**k is this?"

"Probably some lame s**t she have."

I lifted an eyebrow. "You can't tell? It's a map."

"And what are we supposed to do with this?"

I smiled. "Use it to look for some sense and knock it to yourselves. Fangirling over guys who are morally ill is so senseless that even a lame person like me finds it lame."

"Ooooohhhhhh" the crowd watching us reacted.

One of them pulled my hair. Ah Lord it hurts, I was pushed down on the floor again because I was already having a hard time standing up right but it's fine. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing them be insulted because what I said is true.

One of them was about to land a very heavy slap on me and so I instantly closed my eyes and felt as it landed on my face. Arghhhh it hurts dang!!!!!

"Awwwwww" I heard the crowd reacted again.

I held my cheek but at the moment, I can already smell familiar scents. I can tell he's here. Cade is here and is very near.

Before they could pull my hair again, someone stopped them. I can tell someone did. I smiled, I know it was him but what surprised me was that familiar scent.

So I looked up and got even more surprised.

Two guys. The guy yesterday and Cade are holding the girl's arm....
