Their beginning

chapter 4:veiled minds

The sun had dresses up in such a beautiful shinning golden dress blessing everyone with her affection and the yellow light

that decorates every one’s face adding to their beauty ; shuna woke up groaning in pain from the intense pain in her head

and a faded memory from the events that took actions lastnight ; she started doubting herself she’s sure that she went out

sneaking up and the deep voice that still sending shivers to her body, but how did all of this happen she’s now in her room

in the same clothes and her bag still had the same instruments she took nothing is taught , with hesitating steps she stood

up smelling the perfect aroma of coffee and pancakes and there where it’s coming from in the small kitchen sat her

roommate hair fixed up in French braids ready in her uniform drinking her coffee calmly and too lost in her own book or

that’s what she thought because without lifting an eye or moving a limp she said:” hurry up and get ready ,I didn’t wanna

wake you up because you seemed too peaceful in your sleep” shuna breathed out , and she smiled gently at her guessing

that she didn’t suspected her but once she took a seat and was munching a slice of of her food , kai talked because she was

trying to find the perfect moment to surprise her and getting her in a state of spelling her secrets out since she stepped in

their kitchen :” well I didn’t know that you’re a sleep walker my friend , I found you last night wondering in the halls with

your bag , and I took you in back to the room guess this proves my theory” shuna choked in her food and knew that her

second day will be her last because if she snitched at her she’s surely getting expelled because kai was talking casually and

shuna could easily just make her new roommate believe that she was sleep walking but the last part of her speech had

thrown her in a dark hole of random thoughts making the worry show clearly upon her face when she started sweating and

trying to avert her eyes everywhere but shuna tried to speak “ well , yah I’ve been wondering around, yah you know since I

was a child but ugh yah you can’t know we didn’t meet before ; but what can I say , oh we’re late we’ll talk later” she failed

miserably by grumbling and stuttering out , kai found the situation amusing because it’s now in her favors the girl is too

worried and like a deer caught in her trap, but it’s the time to make the prey thinks she’s safe , kai chuckled and said:” dude

everyone here is a weirdo and that’s my new theory under the name off “ a bunch of weird smart people in one place”

what will go wrong , but don’t worry I have my reputation around school since day one and believe me no one will dare to

lay a finger on you let alone hurt you , and now chop chop we’re late!” shuna laughed looking at the feisty confident girl

next to her and at the same time feeling happy that she’s not leaving anytime soon with this girl by her side, she nodded

and hurried back to get ready,

The sun adorned itself in a resplendent, golden gown, its radiant rays bestowing affection upon everyone it touched. The

warm, golden light painted each face, enhancing their beauty as if they were touched by magic. Shuna awoke, her head

throbbing with pain, fragments of the previous night's events fading in her memory like a distant dream. Doubt crept in; she

was certain she had ventured out secretly, and that haunting voice still sent shivers down her spine. But how had she ended

up back in her room, clad in the same attire, with her bag still untouched? It was a puzzle she couldn't solve.

With hesitant steps, Shuna rose from her bed, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and pancakes wafting through the air. In

the small kitchen, her roommate, hair elegantly woven into French braids, sat in her school uniform, savoring her coffee

and immersed in a book. Or so it seemed. Without lifting an eye or moving a muscle, Kai spoke, her voice tinged with a hint

of mischief, "Hurry up and get ready. I didn't want to disturb your peaceful slumber."

Shuna exhaled in relief and offered a gentle smile, guessing that Kai hadn't suspected her nocturnal escapade. However, as

Shuna settled into her seat and began nibbling on her food, Kai spoke casually, catching Shuna off guard. "Well, I didn't

know you were a sleepwalker, my friend. I found you wandering the halls last night with your bag. I guided you back here.

Guess this confirms my theory."

Shuna choked on her food, her worry clearly etched on her face. She began sweating, trying to avoid Kai's piercing gaze.

Panic surged through her as Kai continued, "Dude, everyone here is a weirdo. My new theory is 'A Bunch of Weird Smart

People in One Place.' What could go wrong? But don't worry, I have my reputation around the school, and believe me, no

one will dare lay a finger on you, let alone hurt you. Now, chop-chop, we're late!"

Shuna chuckled, relieved by Kai's confident and carefree demeanor. She realized that she wasn't going to be expelled or

exposed as a sleepwalker after all. Her new roommate's assurance warmed her heart, and she nodded, grateful for Kai's

reassuring presence. With renewed energy, she hurried to get ready for the day.

Low's point of view was focused entirely on Shuna. He had been observing her closely since morning, noting the captivating

beauty of her eyes, now brilliantly revealed in the daylight. He couldn't help but believe that she found him attractive, as

evidenced by her blushing whenever he passed by. Her radiant smile had not gone unnoticed, especially when their friend

Epic teased her about watching Low. Her blush was all the proof Low needed.

During their lunch break, he continued to study her, his curiosity piqued. He tried to read her thoughts but found nothing. It

puzzled him; he was certain Shuna was unaware of her own psychic abilities. How was she able to shield her thoughts so

effectively? His attention became so intense that it made Shuna uncomfortable, and she began fidgeting, playing with her

fingers. Overwhelmed, she excused herself, claiming she'd forgotten her sketchbook in the classroom.

Dream nodded in acknowledgment, but inwardly, she signaled to Low to follow Shuna. Low trailed behind her, confirming

that Shuna indeed headed to the classroom. However, when she reached the door and began yelling and thrashing on the

floor, Low was taken aback. He moved closer, ready to help her during what seemed like a panic attack.

But before he could react, Shuna pushed him away and started shouting. Low watched in bewilderment as she gazed into

his eyes, and suddenly, a connection was established between them. He could hear her voice pleading for help, urging him

to rescue her from an unknown menace.

To his surprise, Low was pushed to the ground beside her, and together, they bore witness to a bizarre sight. A colossal

spider-like creature emerged, its fangs dripping venom, grotesque limbs poised menacingly. Shuna trembled beside him,

despite his attempts to comfort her.

The gigantic spider opened its mouth, and venom dripped onto the ground, sizzling like acid and burning everything in its

path. Low pushed Shuna behind him, preparing for the worst. But then, an unexpected turn of events unfolded before their

eyes
