Chapter 3 Nick

I walk towards Uncle Grayson's room and he's fast asleep snoring. But then I don't think he knows he snores I never tell him he snores what's the point of doing that when we're humans and not perfect? You don't see pigs laugh at each other for rolling in mud. Nope. I've never even seen a pig laugh but I've seen a cat wink.

I go to my room thinking of how stupid Asher was when he sent that cat. Alex could have seen that and he will never forgive me for keeping the whole supernatural world a secret. Asher is the only animal fairy I know, well he and his sister Ashley but Ashley would never be that ignorant and Ashley isn't the one I broke up with.

Typical of Asher to spy on me. He's still not over our break up, truth is, neither am I. It was never my intention to break up with a bad boy with nice dark hair, beautiful lips, and his undying love for animals. Yes, that's the ideal boyfriend alright. I never thought I'd date a gay guy who is also a breaker of rules, in fact, I never thought I'd date at all.

Alex doesn't know about my other life, he doesn't even know I dated Asher for four years. I hate keeping secrets from him but it's for his own good.

Okay, I know you're confused so I'm going to explain.

I was fourteen when my uncle had told me I was a descendant of angels, like real-life angels. Angels that live in heaven. I'm an angel but I'm a half-angel half-human. I don't have wings the only thing I can do is jump from tall buildings and land on my feet like a cat. Pretty cool huh?

Uncle Grayson thought I'd be mad once he told me that my mom was actually a badass monster hunter back in the day. I wasn't mad I was so fucking happy, it felt like I was in a movie and I a gay guy was the main character. I frowned when Uncle Grayson told me I couldn't tell a single soul not even Alex. I didn't want to risk putting him in danger so I agreed.

Ever since then I spent my summer going to this boarding school in another dimension for supernatural creatures. No, I did not go through a wall to get there. The only thing that happened was Uncle Gray was driving, driving, driving then zoom he began to speed and I legit thought he was going to murder me. But then I found myself in a whole new dimension. Pixies, mermaids, fae, unicorns. You name it. Creatures from the underworld were here as well. Like vampires, werewolves, zombies, and wizards. Wizards were the worst. They couldn't stop hexing people which was rude.

The place is called, Lenfaria.

It was on the first day of Magix academy that I met Asher. The same old bumping into someone by mistake and dropping all your books story arc. But that had never happened to me. Well, it had happened to me but with a straight guy. He just took his books stood up and left. When I turned to look at him he was hugging and kissing his girlfriend.

Disappointment.

Asher looked like a straight guy. And yes I didn't know not all gay guys were fem like me. I was fourteen back then cut me some slack.

Magix academy was a school for all supernatural creatures most especially fairies and the Nephilims and no Nephilims aren't giants if I were a giant I would sit in my house and cry because I wouldn't want to crush anyone with my large feet.

I go there every summer that school has just one semester a year and it weirdly covers everything in just three months. Normal high schools need two semesters to cover the school's curriculum or where are the fairies using magic on us to make us believe we were done with the curriculum? Hmm if that's the case then they should keep it up.

My best lesson is where the Nephilims train. I normally don't like fighting but I could do it all of a sudden and it felt good and especially when I'm beating my mortal enemy Noah Anderson. I don't know why he hates me so much. The first day we met I tried to be nice by introducing myself he just rolled his eyes and yelled. "Lame!" That hurt my feelings. I can't tell if he could already get gay vibes from me and he was homophobic or he was racist. That's the disadvantage of being black and gay you can't tell if someone is being racist or homophobic towards you. That much hate won't get anyone anywhere.

Btw I hate Noah's guts he's sexist as well always calling Nancy Baxter woman and Nancy is a fucking badass and she's a good friend we sit together at lunch and we train together by the enchanted lake which had mischievous mermaids. The funniest mermaid is Aqua. She cracks Nancy and I up every time. And she doesn't vibe well with the rest of the mermaids. At least unlike Nancy and Alex, she laughs at my ridiculous jokes.

When we're not in Magix some of us are living our own lives. Some live in Lenfaria some live on earth. Noah lives in Lenfaria and Nancy lives in California. Most Nephilims live on earth. I miss Nancy every time but thank God we keep in touch but as for Aqua. You can't use phones underwater so... But I swear sometimes I think she wants to be part of that world, I so did not sing that.

Oh, Nancy and I aren't the only ones that sit at a table. Ashley, Asher Pattinson (twins), Dexter Sherman (fire fairy), and Analyse Froyer (earth fairy) sit together. We formed our inner circle, but now that summer's almost here will Asher still sit with us? With me? I don't even want to think about it.

Ashley and Asher are twins and they're both animal fairies. That's why I love them so... I mean that's why I love Ashley so much. But I feel like I let Ashley down cause she shipped Asher and me.

"You're Asher's, first love." She said to me and back then I blushed but now I don't know I feel like I'm the villain. But he was the one that said all those mean things to me, although I also said mean things to him and I'm the one that said we should break up. I saw the surprise and hurt on his face then his face quickly changed.

"Fine!" He yelled then he stormed off. I sat on my bed sobbing like an idiot. Asher and I had never had a fight like that before and breaking up was never the idea was.

During dinner, Ashley told me he wasn't eating because he was crying. Asher crying? What have I done? I asked myself. We left school without saying goodbye we also hadn't spoken for nine months. We still follow each other on Instagram but I can't bring myself to like his posts. There was one time he posted a pic of himself shirtless. It was tempting and no I did not drool over the pic and I definetly don't miss his abs.

I also check his comments to see thirsty men or women but he doesn't reply to them. He replies to everyone else but not those thirsty comments.

Oh and yes Lenfaria has Instagram it's only mermaids that don't have phones. Again you can't use phones underwater. But yet again mermaids have more followers than anyone. Photographers just take pics of them and create accounts. They're beautiful after all so of course, they'd have more followers. Some of their tails were filled with diamonds some dazzled in the sunlight because it was golden.

Aqua's tail is blue and beautiful it blends well with the blue sea.

There was a time I got a notification of Asher liking a post of two years ago. And it's actually of me in shorts in the lake with Nancy and Aqua. It kinda made me blush but then I cleared my throat and went to Taylor Swift's IG account. I love that woman. But Asher doesn't I didn't care because my best friend doesn't listen to Taylor at all. The only songs he loves are shake it off and new romantics. Stupid jerk.

I didn't even realize I was looking out the window thinking of the things Asher and I did together. He was so romantic. When I finally get back to planet the present. I notice the same cat I flung from my hands earlier.

"You've got to be kidding me," I say and the cat grins. "Asher is that you?" I ask and the cat leaves. What if that cat isn't Asher and I'm just overacting. I roll my eyes and I change to my pajamas. And I jump on my bed. Taylor my cat jumps out of my bed to meet Swift and no I'm not that obsessed with Taylor Swift and I don't have all her posters in my room (*grins).

"Oh hey, guys." The two beautiful creatures look at me. "I forgot about you two." The cats ignore me and they lay down "I'm sorry?" I'm too tired to start petting them so I fall asleep tomorrow is the last day of high school wow *yawns, how time flies.
