Captain Girlie

Lie (Li)

In this world filled with powerful and amazing people and beings I keep wondering, why am I not allowed to go and join them? No matter how many times my moma and popo explain to me about the reason behind separating the elites and the average supports, I still wonder, aren't they a little unfair about that?

I just let out a deep sigh as I stare at my window. A minute after that I heard my moma scarily screaming my name saying,

"Lie! can you just stop thinking too much about that? I can read you thoughts you know!"

"moma stop reading my thoughts then!"

oh how can I forget about that? *laughs*

Hello! I am Lie pronounce as "Li" and that's my moma , Felie. Yes, she can hear thoughts because that's her spice. My popa? he's strong but he don't really have an actual spice because he's originally from Bleus City. We live in the 50th quarter block of Chimiya City, a place where all the talented spice reside. But only inside the 20th up to the main block and the rest were called, average support and that includes me and my family.

Chimiya City is one of the 3 huge cities of Peridiya. The other two were called Alonda and Bleus, it is a place where almost all the known people resides. Alonda is a place for the beauty, a spice that is quiet rare in Peridiya while Bleus is a place for strength, a spice that makes you stronger and allows someone to fight a close combat. Lastly, my residence Chimiya . It is a place where a lot of magic spice occur.

It is not that easy to be recognized as a Chimiya spice tho. It's because we are all labelled base on our spice and status and that alone sucks. Life inside this city is definitely not good and I hate it.

Everyone in this city lives in a numbers of block which also serve as the level of spice you have and yes, as for me and my family we are on the 50th block eversince I was born. This city have 98 blocks all in all and the people below the 25th block were called as average support because it is stated in their stupid rule. I don't actually hate the higher blocks but I know a lot of miyans from my block and the rest who have great and unique spice and being labelled as one just sound so stupid for me.

My thoughts were filled with rants about the this city's unreasonable labelling when I heard this silly "hey hey" by the one and only crazy friend of mine, Aka.

Aka is a very good girl friend whom I am with since the day I could remember. I mean, we've been together eversince. She's a daughter of the Kalli household and she's been sticking with me in order to scape doing her chores in their house. She's crazy, isn't she?

"what do you want Aka?"

I casually asked her while drying my hair.

"Oh what do I want? seriously Lie?"

I looked at her with a confused look. What's with the cape and the get up anyway? She looks like she's about to attend formal scho- oh wait

my mouth form an O

"yup dummy, it's enrollment day. now get your a*s ready or we'll be late"

Now I totally forgot that today is the day that we have to go to block 20 to enroll to the Chimiya School. I am now 17 and it's time to officially measure my spice. That's the sole reason why I woke up so early in the morning today and start getting up this formal! I did spaced out for quiet a long time that Aka have to come up to my room and shake me up with her hey hey voice.

I thoroughly brush my black hair and let loose my curtain bangs, I stared at the mirror and wear my brown little hoodie cape covering my white shirt and cargo pants. I put on my brown boots and pinned my name plate on the right part of my cape. My eyes is empty, but i don't feel that empty tho. It's black and uninteresting. I shaked my head and fix my hair once again after picking up my sling bag and went outside to meet hey hey Aka.

"Now there she is, damn girl we're going to be late for spice sake!"

There you go crazy Aka. But seriously how the hell can I forget about today?

I faced moma and tried to look for popo around.

"Where's popo?"

I asked as I check my water bottle.

"He's picking up woods Lie, he won't see you off"

she casually answered as she fix my name plate on my cape.

"Moma, seriously stop reading people's thoughts or my thoughts exactly"

I hate that she knows what Im thinking always.

"That's my spice girl and you are my daughter so why would I not make use of it to see what my daughter is thinking everytime she starts staring somewhere out of this world? Anyway to the both of you, goodluck and be good. Lie, don't think about everything that much okay? just enjoy things as it is. Aka, drag Lie please make her enjoy life. This girl is going to end me with her complicated thoughts. She just wont listen to her own mother"

Aka laughed and literally dragged me out of my house. I have never been in the higher blocks eversince I was 5. I now wonder how it looks like now.

"Byeee momaaa"

I shouted as Aka drag me out.

"lower you voice Lie!"

"Lie! let me sleep!"

"that Lie again! shouting early in the morning!"

The neighbors seems to be overreacting. It's already time to wake up you know, you guys should be thankful to me being your living alarm clock .

"Gosh Lie"

Aka laughed as the neighbors continue to rant about me shouting.

"You're louder than my mother, you manage to wake up you're entire neighborhood"

I laughed at the thought of what Aka told me.

"Your exaggerating you know? I just want to bid goodbye to moma"

We reached the bus station where public vehicles for students from the lower blocks rides to reach block 20 and Aka keep blabbering things about how she is going to make friends there. I just smiled and nod at her to keep her talking.

The students from our block started entering the bus and so I and Aka with our arms linked together. As I was about to take a step inside the bus, A man in a brown cape with rushed before me and I almost get out balanced, good thing I linked arms with Aka.

"Who the hel-"

Aka covered my mouth and eyed me not to bother and just hop in. That's not a good start for this trip you know, I am now in rage to curse that man out.

"Calm down okay? everyone's in a rush. Just let it pass for now"

We hop in the bus and look for a vacant seat for two. Aka let me sit near the window to help me calm my a*s up. She started singing and I just stared at the people outside the bus.

Who's that guy anyway?

I just shake my head. Today's going to be a real deal. I have to be good or else I'll have to be stressed out of our city's stupid rule and labelling for my entire life. That man who bumped me is not worth to have my mood ruined.

The bus started moving and as we are about to go out our block, I noticed my popo on the block's gate talking to a man wearing a black formal suit.

"Popo?"

I murmured as I stare at him

He looks worried? I don't know but I think he is. Who's that man anyway? Why is he talking to popo? I thought popo is picking up woods, it's not like the woods are near the gate.

"hey hey"

Aka called at tapped my shoulder.

"You're frowning so bad lie, people might think you're bad. Stop showing that look in public and you'll surely make a lot of friends"

she said whispering next to me.

"Im not frowning, I just saw dad talking with an unfamiliar man near the gate a while ago, didn't you see him?"

she shakes her head and looked at me and smiled

"Your popo is friendly and known by many miyans, maybe he's an acquaintance so rest easy and be lively! We're about to start our spice journey lie"

maybe I worried too much that it was written all over my face. She once again linked her arms to me and started humming.

"Yeah, maybe that's one of popo's friend from Bleus. I heard people from that city usually were formal suits."

She nodded.

"and I already have a friend who's used to my scowling face, can't I just add more with the same character?"

she looked at me and we chuckled at the thought.

She's right, maybe that's an acquaintance of popo. What I have to worry right now is my spice. I'm not sure if It's enough to pass and enter Chamiya School's student house but whatever, I have to be in the student's house no matter what happen.

The upper block miyan's who's going to enter the same school are probably great both in their spice and status but I won't back up. I have to be there.

If I want a change for a better good and view of this city's people then, I have to conquer this quest with all my will.
