A Tale Of Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 4

At Moordale School, it is morning. Huge commotion, chatting buddies. The kids waiting in the hallway as a male walked by appeared to be freshmen.

"He's my lover!" "Just look at him." "He's hot!"

Females around were chatting and awed by his initial impression. Alyssa was maybe the only female who was not at all mesmerized by his charisma, despite the fact that she had zero interest in guys for reasons she was unsure of. I can't build closeness with a man who has a phallus, Alyssa once told Ann.

Due to the fact that Alyssa has never encountered this, it appears that her sexuality is not defined.

"Oh my God! Who are you, I see? Wylie was pondering something.

In Moordale School, cool men draw everyone. The young man has a slim, athletic body with well-defined muscles. He has freckles on his cheeks and a pleasant grin that reveals a row of white, straight teeth. He has dark brown hair that is dressed in a casual yet fashionable way. His blue eyes glitter with serenity and good humour. He has a confident and endearing image thanks to his strong jawline and prominent cheekbones. His height is around six feet, and he exudes a nice, refined, and calm personality. She was gazing at the young man, who was gorgeous.

[Ann standing next to the boy, both opening their lockers].

Behaving awkwardly, Ann flirtingly asked quietly,

”Hey!.. Are you a newbie at school? By the way, you are so adorable”

“I’m Jackson. I just migrated from another school in some other town.” Ann replied anxiously,” That’s great!’

“Are you the same masked guy whom I saw at the party?”.

“You’re right.”

Ann moves forward to shake her hand with Jackson but he leaves.

“So rude he is. See ya, Jackson”, Ann murmured to herself.

“What sort of stupidity she wants to convey through her comics”, said Sam Smith, one of the arrogant boys in the school, mockingly, to his friend's group while holding a magazine having comics in there..” Already quiet and frustrated, Alyssa walked through the corridor and slapped Sam’s face.

“Asshole you are gonna pay for this, Sam”, said Alyssa angrily.

”You stupid alien girl”, said Sam.

On saying this, all those people who were gazing at and watching the fight started laughing as Sam called her an’ Alien Girl'. She felt ashamed and embarrassed, having tears in her eyes.

[Voice of head girl Jane coming from speakers of school].

Everybody just stopped in their positions and started listening quietly. Everybody, please gather in the main hall, there is going to be a very important public announcement soon. As a huge crowd gathered in the hall, Jane announced,” There’s gonna be a grand event by the school’s dramatic society. “Put your hands together for Alyssa Collins, she's President of the Dramatic Society and she will be inaugurating the show. Everyone's participation is required to make it to a good show and our chief guest will be coming’’.Stay tuned!

[Crowd clapping].

Ann, Joe, Wylie, and Alyssa stood together, chuckling, staring at Alyssa,” Why did you keep it a secret?”, they all asked. “It was supposed to be a surprise”, said Alyssa.” It’s the first time, they are arranging such a huge event”, said Ann. “It’s gonna be insane-e-e”, Wylie said excitedly.

[The crowd dispersed].

” Why does nobody believe in aliens?” asked her friends while standing in the toilet.

” I made a wish. Last night I saw a shooting star and it was fulfilled”, said Alyssa.

“What kind of wish?” asked Wylie.

”I wished for a tour of the alien world and it was not physical, but mentally I have experienced this”, said Alyssa. Like how to tell in detail. “Actually, I encountered an alien world tour dreamland. I saw each and everything in their world and that was amazing, said Alyssa. “I wish it was real and I could meet my fantasy hero there too; Lenox’’. “You are actually out of your mind, you act like crazy, it is impossible and I’m not gonna listen to your silly stories today”, said Wylie, “I’m going bye-bye”...Gradually Joe and Ann also left.

[Alyssa sitting alone].

Alyssa, sitting in the school’s sandlot area, dissolved in her own thoughts. A boy wearing shorts, being fully energetic, grabbing everybody's attention. Jackson was known for his incredible skill on the field and his fierce competitiveness. However, he was also known for his rude and arrogant attitude. During a heated game, Jackson was up to bat. He swung his ball with all his might, sending the ball flying into the air. Ball hit Alyssa, sitting oblivious to the game being played.

Ow! What the hell was that for?“Such a bad day it is”, Alyssa murmured; feeling numb.

Jackson's heart sank as he watched the ball collide with Alyssa's head. People around started gazing as Jackson ran over to check on the woman, realizing that he was the one who had hit her.

"You could have seriously injured me," she snapped, rubbing her head.

“What the hell?! Did you just hit me in the head with your stupid ball?”.

“I didn't mean to hit you”.

“You're damn right you didn't mean to. What's wrong with you? Can't you see I'm sitting here?”.

“Look, it was just an accident”.

“Accident my ass! You need to learn how to control yourself and not be so careless”.

Jackson, feeling guilty and defensive, retorted, "Well maybe you shouldn't have been sitting here during a baseball game. You should have been paying attention yourself."

Alyssa glared at him, insulted by his callousness. "I shouldn't have to worry about getting hit by a baseball when I'm sitting here. You need to take responsibility for your actions."

Jackson felt a pang of guilt as he realized that she was right. He had been so focused on winning the game that he had forgotten about the safety of others.

As Alyssa walked off the field, Jackson couldn't help but feel like a jerk. He knew that he needed to change his attitude towards women and become more considerate of others.

They both glared at each other for a moment, before Jackson finally grudgingly stepped aside to let Alyssa pass. From that moment on, their interactions were always tense and brusque, with both of them feeling like they had something to prove.
