Ezekiel's POV,
"Wow Ezekiel, it's my first time to see you so happy this early." Kuya said when he noticed me coming out of my bedroom. He suddenly walked beside me and slightly nudged me on the side. "Tell me, is it Yurika?"he whispered, which made me blush.
He smiled teasingly and then pointed at me. "Ha, I knew it."
Well, if you're asking, Yurika joined Xandrea last night because we took so long to clean up the storage room. Although Yurika insisted that she could go home alone, we told her to just stay because it's way too dangerous outside. So, Yurika decided to join Xandrea since it's her first night here too. I don't know, but the fact that she's sleeping with us, although different rooms but still the same room, makes me so happy. Then, we get to eat breakfast too!
"Ezekiel, stop daydreaming and help us prepare the table here." Tito said which made me sap back into the reality. I immediately ran towards the dining table and starts to fix the plates. Yurika goes in to help too along with Xandrea who seem to enjoy her company too much. I wonder why? Maybe I'm misjudging her because she seems so cold and nonchalant. Maybe she's really great with kids. I wonder if it'll be the same once-
Argh Ezekiel, stop it. You're being delusional.
"Do you eat bacons, Xan-xan?" kuya asked while taking the bacons out of the refrigerator. Xandrea happily nodded so kuya went ahead and cook those. Meannwhile, Tito was busy preparing a bowl of yogurt with berries in it. Beside that are the freshly cooked pancakes ready to be served. I grabbed the maple, strawberry and chocolate syrup in the ref and ask Xandrea what she want the most. She can't decide so I just put the three syrups on the table.
"Ezekiel, your kuya and I have to go somewhere so you and Yurika can go to the mall and buy things Xandrea need. Xandrea can come along too if you want." tito said while eating yogurt.
I glanced at Xandrea. "Do you want to go to the mall? We'll buy toys!"I exclaimed. Her eyes sparkled in excitement. "Yes! Yes po, I wanna come!"
"You have to finish your food first, okay?" I told her and then she start munching which made me chuckle. I took a glance on Yurika and saw that she's looking at Xandrea too. She might look like she's not happy but I know she is. I just know.
-------
It;s been three hours and we're still not done because Xandrea takes so much time to choose things which is fine by me because I get time to spend with them both but I don't know for Yurika. She seem exhausted. We went to the clothing store and this will be our last stop before going to a fast food chain to eat, just like what I promised to Xandrea. We looked at a set of different women's and kids' clothes and I noticed a particular dress. The knee-length white dress on display features a clean and minimalist design, emphasizing simplicity and elegance. The dress is crafted from a smooth, high-quality fabric that contributes to a sleek and polished appearance.
The neckline of the dress is modest, with a classic scoop neck that adds a touch of sophistication. The sleeveless design showcases the shoulders, providing a subtle and stylish element. The waistline is defined by a narrow belt, creating a subtle emphasis on the natural waist and adding a hint of femininity to the overall look.
The dress maintains a straight and streamlined silhouette, with a hemline that falls just above the knee. This length adds a versatile quality to the dress, making it suitable for various occasions. The simplicity of the design is accentuated by the absence of intricate embellishments or patterns, allowing the pure white color to take center stage.
The back of the dress may feature a concealed zipper for a seamless finish. The overall effect of the design is a timeless and chic knee-length white dress that exudes sophistication, making it an appealing choice for those seeking a versatile and classic wardrobe piece. I imagined Yurika in a field of sunflowers wearing that dress. She look so stunning.
"Are you okay? You're red."I snapped back from reality when Yurika appeared in front of me. I can feel my face getting hotter as I realize she's looking at me.
"Y-Yeah. D-Do you want s-something?" Damn it, I'm stuttering.
She just shook her head then left when she heard Xandrea calling her.
Maybe I'll just buy her that dress and suprise her when we get home. Right. I walked towards the dress only to find that it's not there anymore. Dang it, did someone took it?
My feet brought me to the fitting room. I peeped a little and was shocked when I saw the dress floating towards one of the cubicles. Wait, this is bad. I should'nt be doing this but what's happening made me just more curious. A woman that looks like in her mid-20 just came out from the cubicle. And she's wearing that dress!
Does that mean...?
"What are you doing?" I panicked when I heard Yurika behind me.
"I-It's not what you think it is!"I said in defense. She maintained her silence that's why I continued.
"I think that woman is like us...too."and then I took a glance back at the woman who's taking a selfie with the dress that was suppose to be for Yurika.
Yurika then pulled me towards the fitting room. Wait what-
"I'm Yurika. This is my friend, Ezekiel." s-she said my name again!
"Sidney Ashville Maurin. What's the deal? Does your friend wants to go on a date with me?" What the?
"We know you're beyond normal." Why is she so straightforward?I should've done the talking instead.
"The f**k is that? I don't know what you're talking about. Weirdos." she said and proceeds to fix her bag.
"You can be invisible."I said. Her face suddenly changed into a more serious one.
"Look, I don't have time to play with you. So just leave me alone."
"W-We're beyond normals too."
She suddenly looked at us. "Prove it."
I summoned a dagger in my hand and then she proceeds to look at Yurika.
"She can't use her powers."I talked in her behalf.
"I see. So, what's the deal?"
"We're joining the centennial-"
"I'm in."
Well, that was fast.
