Electra

Thunder kept booming...

Lightening kept striking...

Trees were uprooting...

Buildings in ruins...

Everywhere was in total chaos and destruction. It looked like the end of the world in Santermount Street as rain kept falling heavily, threatening to flood the miserable ground.

A girl with greyish-white coloured hair and blue outfit was lying unconsciously on the miserable ground, getting wet by the rain.

Lightening striked once more in the sky, and it looked like it woke her up as she shook her head slightly.

She woke up and painstakingly slow sat upright to view her environment. There was nothing, no life form left of the town, except from her.

She stood up in extreme horror as she looked at everything around her, and she grabbed her hair madly.

" Noooooooooooo!!!!!!"

Her electric blue eyes were surging with beautiful waves of electricity, and her long grey hair began floating away from her shoulders, which she didn't notice.

She fell in her knees in grief, and began crying sorrowfully.

" My home. My... My... Life... Nooooo!!!" She exclaimed as she looked everywhere, then suddenly looked at her palms and stood.

It was shocking with electricity in it, and her eyes widened as she also felt as if her legs were suddenly not touching the ground.

She looked down, and saw that she was flying. The electrifying force inside her body was making her fly, and her palms suddenly shot out an expensive ray of electricity, and it made her fly backwards with full uncontrollable force, till she crashed her back hard against a hard brick wall.

As soon as her back met with it, she lost hold of life as everything turned pitch black in her eyes, and she gave in to total darkness, closing her eyes limply.

She transformed from her electrifying form back into her normal look, having brown hair and a yellow raincoat instead.

♣HOME ∞ SANTERMOUNT VILLA♣

" April? April?? April wake up! You're gonna be late for school!!"

" April! A for April!!"

She kept hearing noises as she began twitching her eyeballs in its sockets on the bed, turning her head restlessly left and right.

The owner of the voice went to get a spatula and an iron pan, and banged the instruments loud over her head.

" Wake up sleepy head!"

" Noooooooo!!!" April screamed out of her sleep, and the person shrieked and panicked as she fell on another bed, holding her chest with loud pants.

She dropped the iron pan and spatula on the bed.

" Gosh, you scared guts out of me!" She said, looking at April who was now in awake, but she was just looking around the room with a worried face.

" You're okay?" Silvia asked, and April let out a heavy sigh of relief, falling back on the head which made Silvia crease her brow.

" Whatever. But you're going to be late for school if you keep lying in bed." Silvia stood up and went out of the bedroom, but April kept staring into space in bed, thinking about the dream she had.

" What happened to me? And it seemed so real..." She thought to herself as she looked at her palms and saw nothing, and she suddenly sat upright.

" And I'm not flying?" She asked as she looked down, but she was perfectly sunken into the bed.

" Then I must be crazy." She responded to herself, and she stood out of bed walking into the bathroom.

As she walked by, a fine mirror revealed her reflection by the bathroom door, showing her beautiful feminine physique with her long flowing brown hair, but something was off about the back of her hair. There was a strand of grey colour running down the middle of her back hair.

She failed to notice that her hair was unkept, but she entered the bathroom and shut the door, taking off her clothes as she turned the faucet on, and water began running into the bathtub.

She took off all her clothes and waited till the bathtub was full, then shut off the faucet.

Her hands and body were completely dry, ready to be dipped in water.

She raised just her right foot and wiggled all five toes on it before bringing it slowly to the water, to feel the temperature before getting in.

She touched the surface water with the tip of her toe, and her body shook as if she got electrocuted instantly, and she quickly pulled out her leg with a painful yell, staggering backwards till she met with the bathroom wall.

" What the f**k!" She muttered as she stared at her toe, and looked around till her eyes fell on the only mirror in the bathroom, distracting her a little as she beheld her scattered hair.

" I really must be running mad today." She lamented in her misfortune, staring her cute brown eyes at the mirror as she combed her hair with her fingers.

She sighed and glanced at the water.

" Looks like I won't bath today, whatever's wrong with the water or me." She said and looked back at the mirror.

♣ SANTERMOUNT ACADEMY ♣

rop

Students were already inside the school as April made her way in, pushing through the crowdy boys and girls. She carried a lunchbox only, wore a wide pink fedora which was the only cap she had to cover her face so that she won't be seen or noticed.

She was also wearing a yellow rubber raincoat, and a pair of black pants.

She made it out of the crowd into the less crowdy hallway of the school, and that was when she released the breath she held in all the while.

" Guess I'm not the only one who didn't shower today, weirdly." She muttered as she tried making her way to class without Silvia.

Silvia was in the science department, while April belonged to the art department. So everytime they reach school everyday, they seperate almost immediately, only to meet back after 7 hours of schooling.

It's still puzzling how they maintain a really tight relationship despite the long hours of seperation.

As she walked, suddenly, her lunchbox was violently pulled from behind. She fell down heavily due to the force and her bag got thrown away as she got laughed at by students.

She managed to painfully sit up on her hurting butt as she looked at a big girl in front of her, who squatted to April's head level.

Natalie, the school's big time bully because of her largeness, and her associates at her back, Venessa and Riley.

The three call themselves... The Big Guns.

Natalie smirked at April, who in turn stared back hopelessly under the fedora while students kept laughing. A glare from Natalie made them all become dead-silent, then she returned her focus to April's fedora.

She yanked it off April's head, and showed it to Riley and Venessa, who laughed mockingly at the fedora.

" Is this what you call a napkin?" She joked meanly, and everyone burst into laughter in the hallway as Natalie made jest of her fedora. April didn't know when tears forcefully slipped out of her eyes.

The joke hurted.

Natalie threw the fedora to Riley and Venessa, and turned to smirk back at April, and without thinking twice, they shredded and tore the fedora into pieces.

April's tears rushed out more, that she had to start breathing through her mouth.

" You make me sick." Natalie said coldly, and lifted April by just her collar. April was dangling over the floor as she struggled and choked while seeing Natalie beneath her, and Natalie instantly slammed her back hard against a nearby locker.

" Let me go!" April cried out painfully and struggled as Natalie roughly manhandled her clothes, tightening her grip more around her collar as Venessa and Riley stood at her back with smirks as well.

" What are you gonna do? Strike me down or... Scare me to death?" She cackled, and Venessa and Riley joined in the wicked laughter.

" I've done nothing to you. Let me down, please." April begged with her teary face, and Natalie suddenly stopped laughing.

" You just make me wanna punch you." She raised her fist to punch April, and April closed her eyes madly tight as she expected it, but Natalie's hand suddenly touched the back of April's hair roughly, and April opened her eyes as Natalie picked up the grey hair strand that was there.

It was the same colour as Natalie's hair, only that Natalie's was shorter.

" And, what's this? Who told you you could dye your hair!" She said annoyingly, and April was dumbfounded at her statement.

" Me? But I didn't do anything, my hair's naturally brown." April defended, and Natalie slapped and dropped her at the same time, leaving April to gasp as she held her cheek on the ground.

" Shit up! Do you think I'm blind? Or what's that grey colour at the back of your head? It's the same colour as mine! So you wanna compete with me? Fake loser!" She spat at April on the ground and kicked her, and April screamed as she groaned painfully.

" You'll pay for this." She glared hatefully at groaning april, and faced her two friends.

" Venessa, Riley, let's deal with her." She said to them both as she began walking away, and Venessa and Riley went over and grabbed April's hair at the same time, and April screamed painfully.

They began dragging her after Natalie like that, and April felt her scalp seperating from her hair.

" No! Please! It's painful! Let me go! It hurts, my hair! Aaarrrgh!!" April cried as she was dragged along on her butt, to the back of the school.

" If only Silvia were here." She lamented in her mind as she was dragged out of view.

♣LUNCHTIME ∞ CAFETERIA♣

April was now having lunch with Silvia after Natalie and her friends dealt with her at the school's backyard with punching and beatings, and it was late when Silvia found her sitting alone there on the ground, and Silvia walked her here.

She had no bruises or scar marks whatsoever from the beatings, and that's even more mysterious too.

" But I've never even stepped into a saloon my whole life! How could my hair possibly be grey? How!" She screamed frustratedly at Silvia as if she were Natalie, and the table between them shaked with its content as she earned looks from students around.

" Calm down April, I'm not her." Silvia cautioned, and April relaxed her nerves a bit.

" Let me check your hair then." Silvia suggested, and April bent down her head for Silvia to see.

She saw the grey hair strand at the back of her head, and looked puzzled as April raised her head back up.

" How could this be?" Silvia questioned.

" How could what be?"

" Your hair, it's really grey." She narrated, and April's heart skipped unbelievably even at her own bestie's confession.

" I can't believe you. Maybe you should go get your eyes washed."

" My eyes? Then how come Natalie said the same thing about your hair!" Silvia shot, and April found herself staring back at her with no response.

" And how come even your face isn't bruised or wounded right now? Didn't you literally say that they beat you up?" Silvia questioned too, and April stammered as she tried responding.

Suddenly, the convo got interrupted when they heard screams and mad shouts from the cafeteria door, and they both turned their heads back at once to see.

The cause of the screams and shouts were from no other than Danny Super, as known popularly to the school in large.

Yep, he's one of the world's most renowned and famous male models, the number 1 to be precise according to world rankings.

In short, there was nothing natural or artificial that could beat his facial beauty and body outline, just so gorgeous with beauty and handsomeness at a time.

Then his awesome brown hair... another handsome topic to talk about.

" Danny! Oh my gosh he's here!"

" O... M... Geeeeee!!"

" You've got to be kidding..."

" Are you serious? Let me see him..."

" Oh fuck! It's Danny Super!"

Girls kept shouting senselessly as Danny gave out sexy smiles and flirty looks to them, and they melted.

Beside him is Brain tiger, but he's preferably known as Tiger. Just like his name, he's brainy and rich, and his father, popularly known as Cash tiger was the owner of the richest bank in the whole of New York called Roar Enterprises.

He's also cute, sweet and charming in his looks, and he smiled and waved at his adoring fans while Danny began winking at them.

Some weird running girls ran across April and Silvia's table, and the food that was on it spilled on their faces as they gasped and stood away from the table.

April felt her temper rising and her blood boiling as Silvia wiped her own face with a napkin, and she tried to be in control as she folded her fists.

" I'm fine." She muttered to herself through clenched teeth.

She looked at Danny's way, and she met him winking at the girls. It made her even more angry that he was the cause of all this, and he'd probably never know or even apologize to them.

She lost it completely while staring at him and transferredher anger to the table, pushingit roughly as she dragged Silvia by her arm.

" Let's go." She dragged Silvia out with her, not chancing her to say a word for herself as they left through another exit.

" Outta my way!" Natalie ordered as she pushed off a weak girl to the ground, and walked upon the groaning girl's back as she approached Danny with her group.

The girls suddenly reigned a deafening silence amongst themselves, and Danny turned along with Tiger to see Natalie.

She stopped and flaunted with her hair with a wide smile, and bit her lips sexily to look more attractive.

" How do I look?" She asked without thinking, and Danny looked at her from head to toe and stopped at her face without a reaction as Tiger began chuckling sillily.

"Get out of my face, weirdo." Danny spat, and Natalie's ego crashed as Tiger bursted out into laughter completely. with Tiger, and the girls followed as he left her there.

He just left her on standing, a whole big her!

" Told you he wouldn't answer." Venessa mocked and giggled.

" It was all revealed before." Riley added in a more mocking tone, and Venessa and her both laughed and walked away.

Natalie got herself back, then she smirked heavily and followed them too.

" Come back here, you mutts." She sneered after them.

♠RESTROOM♠

April had left Silvia after dragging her out, and she had been following April and tried calming her down, but she totally refused as she kept going.

She left Silvia and went into the restroom, closing the door behind her as she leaned on it and sighed with her eyes closed.

" April, come out. You can't be like this now." She said in front of the door, but April said nothing.

" Meet me later then, I have science class." Silvia added and left, and that was when April opened her eyes. There was a mirror in front of her, and her reflection was staring back.

She left the door and walked closer to the mirror, and noticed that food was still on her face.

She wiped it off with a handkerchief she brought out, and she dumped it on the ground when she was done.

She arranged her hair too using her fingers, but she suddenly slowed down confusedly on seeing something grey in her hair, and she pulled it up.

Her eyes widened as she was shocked to find out it was her own hair.

The grey colour had now spread to the whole back of her hair.

" What the f..." She closed her mouth so she won't scream, and began touching the whole back, still seeing it was still her hair.

" How did this happen!" She yelled unbelievably at the reflection, then she began staring in thought.

" So Silvia was right? But how do I cover this? My hair wasn't like this before!" She panicked as she held her hair.

She puffed out a sigh and looked away from the mirror, pacing around the restroom.

" I have to cover this. No one can see me like this. Something is wrong with me." She panicked in her mind, and suddenly remembered that her yellow raincoat had a cap attached to it like a hoodie.

She grabbed the cap of the raincoat and wore it completely as she tucked in the hair that was left, and fastened the ropes. She looked at herself in the mirror.

" Good. No one can ever see this." She said and came out of the restroom like that, going to her class.

♠ART DEPARTMENT♠

April got to class after two minutes, and she met students seated already with the teacher scribbling notes on the board.

She rushed to her seat at the back, feeling lucky that no one made jest of her raincoat, and she sat in the middle of a seat with someone else.

Natalie came in almost immediately April entered, and smirked when she saw April from afar. She was also in April's class.

She walked straight to April, and saw that the space left was too small for her to sit on.

" Scoot off, loser." She ordered April arrogantly.

" But it's too small for you. It can't fit all three of us, please." April said reasonably, but Natalie went ahead to sit there.

" Of course it can." She said sarcastically, and used her strength to push herself into the seat, squeezing in April tightly in the middle. The other person wasn't disturbed.

" Prepare to see hell, nitwit." Natalie whispered into her ear and knowingly stepped on April's foot, and April yelped as she bit her tongue to quickly shut herself up, making the teacher look back.

" Is everything alright back there?" The teacher asked.

" Yes Miss Clarence." Natalie nodded with a fake smile, and April kept her face in the abnormal way it was as the teacher faced the board again.

Natalie killed the smile and stepped on her foot again. April almost wounded her tongue while biting so she won't scream, and Natalie squeezed her more into the seat.

If she reported, it would be useless because Natalie would deny it and beat her up later, so she was taking it all in.

Natalie squished April's foot to the ground, literally crushing it as April felt hell indeed.

Oh, if only she could crush her back the same way too.

She kept on crushing April's foot non-stop, and April moved her eyes uneasily as she twitched in a silly way, trying not to scream.

And when she suddenly grabbed her hand to press it against the seat and crush it too, that was when she had it.

She partially didn't know what she was doing, but she stood up immediately, and the electric energy in her body surged through her hand, literally shocking Natalie as she let go of her and staggered out of the seat.

" Ouch! What'd you do?" Natalie shouted at April as she got on her feet, and everyone in class turned to them.

They were both currently standing.

" Natalie? What's the problem?" Miss Clarence asked.

" She is! She did someth... I don't know, I think she shocked me or..." Natalie grabbed April's hand to see if something was there, but April was still agitated, so the electric energy activated again and shocked her.

" Aaarrrgh!!" She shouted as she let go of April, and April stared at Natalie confusedly along with others.

Or why was she acting like that all of a sudden?

" Miss Natalie, you're disrupting the class with your silly game. Would you mind exhibiting it outside, or sharing seats with someone else?" Miss Clarence said.

" But... Miss..." Natalie stuttered.

" You heard what I said." She repeated, and Natalie scoffed annoyingly.

She glared at April, and knowingly sat in front of a seat just right beside her again, and everyone faced their fronts while April kept standing.

" I'll kill you, whatever you're doing." She mouthed to April, and April found herself trembling when she tried to sit down again.

" I'm outta here." She muttered, and walked out of the class swiftly.

♣HALLWAY♣

April later got her bag from where Natalie had thrown it earlier, and she was currently carrying it on her shoulder as she walked clumsily in the hallway in thoughts of her hair, and clumsily because of her hurting foot.

" But, why did she do like that when she touched my hand? Was it me? Or just her?" She questioned loudly, and looked down to stare at her hands without looking front.

Unfortunately, she failed to see Danny Super and a group of flirting girls right in front of her, and as she came closer, the expected happened.

She bumped right into him, and they both fell as they tumbled on the ground, rolling over each other.

The rough rolling caused the ropes of April's hoodie to loosen, and Danny had landed on his back while April was on top of him.

Her eyes were closed throughout, and Danny lifted up his head a little to see her face. She opened her eyes to see her hands on his chest, and his arms were wrapped around her waist.

Her eyes widened as they stared at each other speechlessly, and the cap on her head came off suddenly as it exposed her hair completely...

April's eyes became wide naked as she felt the cap loosen off her head, and her hair came free and fell down to both sides of her shoulders.

" Freak! Freak!"

" Oh my... Grey..."

" What's this? A witch in our school?"

" Witch! Grey witch!"

" Look how long it is..."

The students commented endlessly at her hair, and April felt her heart rate beating faster as she remained in that position.

Her eyes turned electric blue colour immediately, but Danny was too lost staring at her naturally grey hair to notice.

Her whole hair had transformed grey completely while it was covered in the hoodie. No single strand of brown hair was left there anymore.

Danny's good conscience seized for a moment as he darted his eyes from her hair to her own eyes.

Really, her eyes were... Electrifyingly gorgeous.

He stared longer than his mindset could take, and as he did, he felt his heartbeat getting louder and faster too.

April suddenly started panting and stood away from him as she dusted off her body and shifted back with a worried look. She began to receive jeers from the booing students and she faced the ground shamefully.

Danny stood up too and noticed the worried look on her face.

She bravely looked up to take a glance at him shortly, and as soon as their eyes met, she folded her arms protectively around herself and literally ran off across the hallway.

Students had long gotten their phones and captured every scene of the moment, and chattered as they uploaded it to the media.

Tiger suddenly came rushing down the hallway towards Danny, and Danny faced him without blinking.

" Hey, you've got some modelling activity scheduled since five minutes ago from that SPLASH agency. You're late." Tiger panted as he packed his hair, and that was when he stopped to notice Danny's surprised state.

He looked around him so swiftly too, seeing the students murmuring in active chatter and holding their phones across the hallway.

" You're okay? What happened here? Did I miss anything?" He asked, but Danny ignored the question and walked away.

" Hey, wait for me Danny!"

...

Meanwhile, April couldn't bring herself to even hide as the news spread among the students faster than wildfire, and she kept panting as a result of fear as she bowed and walked amidst the students.

They were either laughing, calling mean names, making fun of her hair or gossiping loudly about her.

The pressure was just too much for her all at once. She couldn't even lift up her head to see one student's face, butterflies would eat up her intestines immediately. She was panicking.

Her panting even got louder while walking as she held her chest slowly and walked through it all, feeling like it would explode in its cage soon.

Her agitatedness and uneasiness built enough pressure in her body to call out the force that dwelled in her body again, and she suddenly felt her hands shaking than usual.

She lifted up her hands, but before she could see the electric force that was in them...

She got pulled into a corner by someone, and the electric force around it dissipated immediately, making it seem like an imagination in her head as she beheld who rescued her.

" Oh, Silvia..." April almost bursted into tears while looking at her, but Silvia was staring at something back in return. Her grey hair, and her blue, electric eyes.

" Wha... How.. When... What!" Silvia exclaimed, but April could only cry back in response.

" I need help." She cried and buried her face on Silvia's shoulder, hugging her as she began crying from there.

Silvia broke the hug reluctantly and made April face her at once.

" What's all this? How'd this even happen? What's ... Should I still ask who you even are? Your eyes, your hair... What's happening to you!" Silvia questioned all at once.

" I don't know! I don't know, okay? I think everyone has seen my grey hair part, and they're currently talking about it and making fun of... I just don't know what exactly's wrong with me, I literally don't know..." She cried and held her own hair, then Silvia brought out her phone.

" No, you don't get it. Take a look at yourself." Silvia held out the phone screen to her face.

April collected it while staring at her, and she looked down slowly at the phone.

Her expression was so blank when she saw her reflection. She wasn't thinking at all, just so shocked to even react at her own self.

Silvia collected the phone from her, but April didn't move as she kept staring into space, traumatized at the realization she can't even give a logical explanation of her own eyes and hair.

" April, so what's going on? What's with the... Everything?" Silvia gestured at her whole look, and that was when April slowly looked up with her traumatized face.

" Oh Father Lord.." she felt her last words roll off her lips before fainting, and Silvia panicked as she quickly held her from falling and injuring herself.

" April!" She shouted and lifted her back to her feet, and April opened up her eyes again.

"So... Everyone saw me like this?" She asked still shocked, and Silvia made her stand upright on her own.

" Just, please don't faint and fall again." She warned, and they both heard something behind them, and turned back instantly.

Something like metal fell far away from them, and they turned sharply to see that it was an axe, and someone stood behind it. No, three people.

The Big Guns.

Natalie picked up the axe, and Venessa and Riley stood behind her, each held a toy gun just to scare their main target.

But the axe was real.

" If there was one rule I never told you in your life..." Natalie began, taking slow strides towards April who stood rooted to her spot as Silvia shifted backwards slowly, not taking her eyes off.

April gulped nothing down her throat at that moment.

"... Is to never ... Ever... Come close to my boyfriend, Danny Super!" She seethed as she lifted the axe sky high at April, just to scare her as April closed her eyes and fists madly tight to the electric force in her body.

She released her palms and held the two walls by her sides as she expected the hell of an axe to descend upon her in the next flying seconds, but suddenly, an electric blue wave of energy surged from herself to the walls, and came rushing towards Natalie.

It shocked her alongside with the axe, and Natalie let go of the axe into the air over April as she staggered back violently into her associates' arms, and Silvia swiftly pulled April back before the axe could land down on her.

It pulled back down into gravity and chipped the bare floor tiles hard before resting.

Natalie held her head insanely as she felt it spin around, and April and Silvia ran away from there immediately before she could get conscious again.

♣SPLASH AGENCY ♣

Cameras kept flashing repeatedly non-stop as Danny kept serving them killer swags, murdering the lights as it kept coming and dashing off with superb snaps.

He's currently in a tennis player outfit, at least that's what the agency chose for him.

A standing fan was made to blow his hair from afar, to give him a more hotter style as his hair flew.

" Yeah, give me some more. You're killing it boy, yep, yeah, that's style. Oh my gosh, you're a natural..." The director kept commenting endlessly, moving actively from one position to another with his best camera to get a good shot of Danny.

It went on like that for 5 minutes before the director could lower his camera, checking the pictures with a satisfactory smile.

" Alright, take 20." He said as he went to sit on the directing chair, while different ladies came immediately to clean Danny's sweat with cold towels, but Danny refused them because they were stylishly trying to seduce him.

He went into the changing room and Tiger went in with him as they closed the door behind. The room is wide and spacious, and dressing tables, clothes and wardrobes filled up the spaces.

They stayed back by the door.

" Hey, you didn't tell me what happened earlier in the hallway, I had to find out from the internet." Tiger began seriously, but Danny was looking uninterested.

" I'm stressed out Tiger, I need a bitch to f**k." He replied casually, and Tiger raised a brow.

" So what I'm saying is irrelevant? I mean, check it out! Top trending in the media! You and that grey haired girl!" Tiger brought out his phone to his face, and Danny wanted to look away at first, but he couldn't anymore when he saw that post, and its comments, then reactions...

" Grey witch! What was she trying to do to my Danny! My Danny Super!"

" I knew she was evil from the start."

" She obviously went to a salon to dye her hair so she can seduce him. Cheap freak."

" She's a fake. Not beautiful one bit. I hate her so much."

" I bet she went for facial surgery too."

Danny knew they were jealous comments from his female admirers. He knew at the bottom of his mind, she was the extreme opposite of everything they said, the best thing he might ever see before paradise.

He kept seeing comments like that till Tiger removed the screen from his face.

" How'd it even happen? Who's she?"

Before Danny could reply, the door beside them opened and closed shut, and they looked sideways simultaneously, only to sight a half naked bitch standing there, waiting for Danny.

" Hey Super." She smiled her gums out and bit her finger sexily, trying her best to look seductive.

" Holy Christ, it shouldn't have been me. Let me go purify my eyes!" Tiger muttered dramatically with his eyes shut, and he found his way out the door like that.

The bitch ignored him and catwalked to Danny, intiating the moment with a fierce kiss into his mouth. He responded back by sucking in her lips deeply like a lollipop, with twice the energy she gave him, causing moans to escape from her mouth into his own.

" Oh my..."

He was thinking about April. That moment when he stared at her strange grey hair and electric blue eyes. It was so strange that he felt the urge to kiss those eyes and stroke her hair too since he was such a pervert. But he didn't know why he didn't do that, and maybe because he had never seen someone so beautiful and rare in his life.

The thought of f**king the beauty out of April increased in his dirty mind that he found himself imagining the bitch as her, and he shoved two fingers into her p**sy at once, screwing her like hell.

" Oh my... Super!"

♠RESTROOM♠

April and Silvia were already in, but they said no words to each other as April immediately faced the floor in thoughts, while Silvia looked at her through the mirror.

" April, what was that you did to Natalie back there?" She spoke while still facing the mirror.

" But I didn't do anything! I swear I didn't!" She defended, walking restlessly to another side of the restroom.

" But I saw you. I saw your hands do a shocky thing, like what was that blue thing like electricity coming outta your hands?!"

" From my hands? I don't know! I just don't know what you're talking about!" April shouted, and Silvia somewhat lost patience that she turned to April seriously.

" You're lying to me, April. Something's wrong with you, yet you won't just admit it! What's really your problem? Why aren't you just telling me the truth!"

" I said I don't know! I don't know why Silvia, I don't know!" April cried back in a harsh tone, and silence descended afterwards as they stared silently with loud pants.

Silvia was the first to make a move as she scoffed and turned, and April watched as she made for the door, wishing to pull her back so badly.

" I better leave you to your strange self. Goodbye, and we'll meet at home. Don't even bother to talk to me when you do get home, 'cause I won't have myself talking to a friend who hides things from me." She spat exited the restroom, slamming the door hard on April's face.

" But I'm not!" April yelled and grabbed her hair frustratedly. She faced the mirror with a forced grunt and slammed her two palms on the sink, before looking into her electric blue eyes in the mirror.

She and her bestie just got into an argument, the rarest thing to happen in the world after a billion years.

" Is this it? What do I do ? I'm not like this, I wasn't. This isn't me." She gestured as she raised her two palms to her face, and she looked down upon them, seeing nothing in it.

" F**k, who am I kidding?" She dropped her hands and palmed her forehead, thinking again.

" You'll... See... More... This isn't... The beginning... Yet..." A hushed tone whispered into her ear that startled her from nowhere, and she almost went insanely crazy as she snapped her head around, looking for where it came from.

" Who said that?" She demanded, but silence responded, and she dropped her scared act as she rested her back on the wall with her eyes closed, held her forehead and waist as she let out a sigh.

" I think I need to act fast. I think I'm really going crazy."

♠HALLWAY♠

Danny came back from the modelling studio as soon as he was done f**king that bitch. The first thing that greeted him into the school was a group of reporters questioning Tiger, who left him as soon as they sighted Danny and crowded him instead.

He wasn't the least surprised seeing them here because it wasn't the first time. He took a glance at Tiger, but Tiger just shrugged his shoulders to mention ' I don't know what they're here for!'

Danny returned his glance to the press conference and kept a proud look on, not until the questions began...

" Hey Danny Super, who's the Grey Witch that the media's talking about?"

" Where's she please? We want to speak with her!"

" Do you maybe know where she is? Or lives?"

" Come on, talk to us. We wanna hear you say two or three things about her."

" Where's the popular Grey witch?"

They pressed him with questions like that, and it felt as if his mind was shattered while they did so.

The press that he knew... Were usually the ones obsessed with reviewing him in particular, not some strange weird grey haired girl that bumped into him outta the blues, and now she's getting popular than him? There was no way he was gonna believe that.

" I beg your pardon?" He pretended not to hear, and they raised their voices at him in a rush.

" Where's The Grey Witch? Who's the Grey Witch?"

The repetition of the question gave him the assurance that they weren't joking, and it gave fire to the anonymous feeling of rivalry inside him. He couldn't stand to listen to it all anymore, and he began walking out on them in a pissed off manner.

" Excuse me." He blurted out annoyingly.

" Danny!" Tiger called, but got ignored as he walked away from the shouting reporters.

He had never felt like this before, and that was because he had never had such a close rival in his entire life, but a girl, a strange weird girl got famous in the internet than him? How absurd!

Perhaps, the feeling that he felt... Was it called, jealousy?

"F**k those students who posted it." He cursed and kicked in the air angrily at nothing.

" Oh f**k, this is crazy." He muttered and held his forehead, but just then, he heard some fast running footsteps behind him, and he turned at once.

The person coming towards him did so at a speed that he caught sight of the person in just a blur. He or she was running so impossibly fast that he couldn't even blink an eyelid before they collided into themselves, and spinned fastly on a spot as Danny grabbed hold of the person by the shoulders.

He pinned the person's back quickly on the nearest locker being an agile guy himself, and he beheld the person's stunned face at once.

It was April.

April also didn't have the slightest knowledge of when she opened the restroom door and began running without direction. But when she was running, it was like running 5 times the speed of a generator belt.

It was just too fast to be normal, and here she met herself, being held down by the shoulders by the last person she wished to meet today.

She gulped nothing down, and he smirked back at her in an unfriendly manner.

The lovely feeling of lust he earlier felt for her changed into a mixture of jealousy, rivalry, hate and blind rage as he squeezed her shoulders more into his palms, and she cringed up painfully along with her face.

" The next time... You ever, bump into me like that... I swear to gawd down, I'll have you cum handfuls on my d**k." He growled, and her face turned pale with shock as she stopped breathing for life.

" What?"

♠♠♠

"What?" April exclaimed, and the thought made fear grip her immediately.

Whatever did she do wrong to this guy?

Her mind had a flashback to when she got food in her face in the cafeteria because of him, and here the devil was, threatening her with unlistenable nonsense.

She hadn't forgotten the memory a bit. The thought that girls could idiotically surround a fool, a jerk like him sparked some fire in her mind and body. She became violently angry.

She was mad with fury and rage in the next ticking seconds that flew by, and she clenched her fists slowly. It charged up with electricity without her knowledge beneath her, and they were glowing, but the glow never reached Danny's eyes, so he didn't notice them.

" You idiot!" She finally spat, and punched him heavily with one of her fists that it sent him literally flying off hard to hit his back against another locker.

He panted out forcefully, then groaned and held his chest from the murdering pain he felt there.

The glow in her fists died down once she had used it to punch him, and the electricity got dismissed. But her eyes were still charged with the active and electric wave of blue.

" I don't care if you're popular to even outer space, but that doesn't mean you can spit nonsense here and degrade April Agreste! Never!" She boasted, and he was taken aback by her words.

Has she always sounded this... Confident? Intimidating?

" And, let me warn you too." She spoke in a sassy way, and took just three quick steps to be an inch close to him. She glared with such an air of respectful passion, but he was staring back in anxiousness. An aggravated goddess was right in front of his eyes.

" The next time... You touch me... I'll make something shockingly heavy befall you." She angrily growled as a threat, and Danny couldn't believe his heart missed a beat because of that.

Did he just skip heartbeats because of a girl? A whole him? A whole Danny Super?

" Loser." She spat and rolled eyes, then began walking off, leaving him to his shocked state as he stared at her back in disbelief.

" Gawd, how could you talk to him like that April? Did you go nuts all of a sudden? Well, if it's that, then I have gone nuts!" She also thought surprisedly to herself while walking, and wrapped her arms around her shoulders protectively.

" F**k! F**k!! F**k!!!" Danny screamed with so much frustration as he banged the locker door.

He suddenly felt a sharp violent pain from his chest, and he held it yet again with a painful gasp, flickering his eyes uneasily.

" I swear, I'll kill her next time, I'll snap off her little arms like a twig, why the hell didn't I say anything? I'm such a fool! F**k!" He kept cursing, but his chest hurted more as he did, and he pressed it in painfully.

♠CLOSING HOURS♠

April didn't sight Silvia when she got out of the school. She remembered their fight earlier, and that made her to stop thinking about Silvia before proceeding the walking home alone.

Students kept murmuring about her hair as she went past them. She tried not to be affected by this and bent her head low till she got outside the school gates. She wasn't afraid though, just a bit nervous.

Passersby weren't left out as they began the staring spree at her hair, watching the grey coloured strands flow so finely behind her back. Her eyes got married to the ground that day and she kept facing it, till she got home.

♣5 MINUTES LATER♣

Her house wasn't that far. She got home by dusk, and the door was left open when she arrived. She suspected it to be Silvia and entered, meeting Silvia fast asleep on the couch.

She was stared at so many times during her walk home. No other person would understand her plight till they were in her own shoes. Those stares were enough to bore holes into her body, she could have become a living dead on her way home.

She sighed, dropped her bag on the couch opposite of Silvia, and felt sore in her throat as she coughed.

" My mouth's so dry. I need water." She spoke to herself, and went to the kitchen to get some water from the sink.

When she got to the dry tap, she opened it and water rushed from it down to the sink. She bent her face down and made to touch the water with her hands, but when they came in contact, her hands gave a violent reaction by vibrating, and she shifted back in a flash with her wet hand.

" Ouch!"

It was still shaking immensely with the wetness, and it kept hurting till she got a dry towel to wipe her hand.

The pain died down when it got dry, but her suspicions didn't.

" What's suddenly going on? Why can't I get close to water? It hurts! How can water hurt? I drink it almost everyday!" She half-yelled to herself as she paced about the kitchen, and she coughed out her dry mouth.

" But I need to drink water." She muttered desperately and tried facing the sink again, but suddenly stopped on remembering what also happened in the bathroom earlier.

" Wait... That was the same reason why I didn't get to shower today." She said as she grew thoughtful again.

Something kept trying to appear in her mind, like an answer but she couldn't figure it out as her throat kept hurting with dryness.

She held her throat in pains till she got to the living room, and collapsed upon the opposite couch by sleeping Silvia.

In no time, her throat began getting more and even more dryer, and she sobbed as it did a perfect job in making her suffer, and she began cringing on the couch.

" My throat." She sobbed.
