Aoife wakes up early like a she was from a nightmare with an urge to focus on one thing. At 6:30 AM, she turns on the computer fast to send the response to the offer.
After, accepting the offer she sends the email to the secret orginanization "METEOR" and immediately got a response. The response was a mission for Aoife.
She sees the notification quickly and she was shocked from how fast the orginanization responded quickly. She pondered if this task or mission was actually real. She couldn't believe on what she has just read.
The email sent back to read:
"DAWN_921, wise decision on accepting our offer. We have selected only YOU can do for us. Protect codename LANCELOT_OBJ#12 in your school or perhaps Aeons of Knowledge High School. Kill anything at will that tries to destroy the experimental object. We'll be sending another message next week. Good luck, DAWN_921 :)"
Aoife gulped a handful of saliva after the last sentence. She tries to think something calm and peaceful to control her composure. She inhales and exhales for relief and stood up from her gaming chair. She walks to the door and opens it.
Aoife goes to the living room and sees Nova playing with the black kitty on the sofa. Aoife taps Nova's shoulder to tell him that shes going to school. Nova nods and Aoife walks out of the apartment room.
She rushes inside the elevator and presses the ground floor. Aoife steps outside of the elevator and unlocks the red gate. She crosses the street to wait at the bus station going towards the school.
She noticed there are less people everyday that are outside.
Why are there less people out of all days in a Monday? Something's off… I can feel it breathing in my neck. Is the secret organization part of this phenomenom? Am I in a different world? Aoife sees strange stuff around the bus station. She sees a dog meowing, cats barking instead of meowing.
What in the sorcery is this now?! I really wanna get out of here it's really eerie around here… Aoife panics slightly from the situation that was going on.
Luckily, the bus arrived in time and Aoife rushes inside the bus. The bus closes and Aoife sits down at the bus seat. Normally it would be comfy, but Aoife felt something else. It was like the seat is rough, feels more like wood.
Aoife didn't pay much attention to it and her focus was going to school. She looks in the window of the bus, she sees weird stuff that shouldn't be imitated by nature. Aoife still felt the creepiness around the situation and asked a passenger if they were seeing the same thing.
The random passenger says he still sees everything normal outside from the bus. The information struck Aoife deep inside.
Who's doing this to me…? Why do I deserve this…? This isn't normal anymore…
Aoife tries to calm down as the bus is approaching the school's bus station. The bus finally stopped in the station and Aoife noticed something even more supernatural. The school bell in the middle rings signifying that the students should attend classes now.
She noticed it's completely different from the outside of the school. Everything was in place, like it was perfect. She sighs in relief and smiled and went inside the campus.
Aoife goes to her class section "2-C32" and realizes she is early than before. She sits down at the right side of the class in the middle row next to the door. She places her backpack below her table silently and unzips the backpack to grab her notebook and pen for lectures.
She stares at the clock and it was 7:30 AM for classes to start. Her first subject was astronomy, it was fascinating to the students of Aeons of Knowledge because not all school had astronomy classes. The teacher walked in with his blue lanyard ID and a book.
Everyone in the class stood up and greeted Mr. Oscar loudly and polite. Mr. Oscar tells everyone to sit down as he prepares his lesson to the class. Aoife for some reason feels unhinged by the presence of Mr. Oscar.
Mr. Oscar places his book on the teacher's table. He goes to the center of the blackboard to discuss a very engrossing topic. He writes on the blackboard with a chalk with his topic called Hypotalism.
"Class, let me tell you this do you see what everyone sees…?"
The class didn't answer like they were frightened to get the wrong reply to Mr. Oscar. The sentence spooked Aoife as she saw strange stuff outside the campus when people saw normal stuff compared to her vision. She became more intruiged to the topic and at the same time being spine-chilling to the speeches of Mr. Oscar.
"Whether you see different things aside from other people's view I invented this philisophy that can be branched to Astronomy. Class, what do you perceive when the sentence starts with 'I could eat a whole cow for dinner'..?"
A student answers the question, he says it is a metaphor used in English. Mr. Oscar agrees but wants a different answer aside from what the student had said. Another student raises his hand and stood up to say that the person can literally eat the whole cow for dinner.
Mr. Oscar was amazed from the two answers that the students had gave to him. Aoife notices a strange pattern between Mr. Oscar's speeches. She gets unsettled everytime Mr. Oscar speaks to the class. She also views that the teacher was also staring at her directly in the eyes half the time.
Mr. Oscar breathes and prepares for his lecture again. He writes sentences of metaphors to give more examples to the class.
"This is what I call Hypotalism. The reason why you view or hear things differently from other is what your 'heart' wants to see."
Aoife got struck on what the teacher had said to the class. Could it be her truly wants to see the unnatural stuff or was it perhaps her 'heart' that wants to see it.
"But there is something about it. Even scientists cannot explain the phenomenom about this state. I ask you again class… Do you like to see normal things or do you accept what your 'heart' wants too see…?"
Mr. Oscar looks at Aoife with a terrifying look and Aoife panics slightly from the stare that Mr. Oscar gave.
"Alright class see you all tomorrow!"
Everyone stood up and greets Mr. Oscar a goodbye but only Aoife didn't stand up to greet him a goodbye. Mr. Oscar walks to the door and stops and stares at Aoife.
"What will you say Mrs. Cici?"
Aoife stood up and greeted him a worried goodbye and Mr. Oscar leaves with a creepy grin staring directly to her. She sighs in relief and sat back down on her chair. The classmates gossip around what just happened and Aoife just placed her head down to relax.
The next subject was Math and the door was opened by Mr. Velo. Everyone stood up again and greeted Mr. Velo. The teacher begins his lecture about the right triangle similarities.
Aoife couldn't focus on the lesson because of the death stare that Mr. Oscar gave to her. She tries to listen to the teacher but it wouldn't help enough.
(Alright class, we are now introducing the pythagorean theorem to make the lesson easy for you guys.) Aoife suddenly felt a slight tickle between her feet. When Aoife looked down on the ground she had been spooked from what she saw.
(So class in order to get the square root of c squared we have to add a squared and b squared to get our final value.) Aoife saw a bizzare entity. The black figure with white eyes was holding her foot the entire time after Mr. Oscar's session.
Aoife almost jumpscared from what she saw and stood up to go to the comfort room. She walks hastly as she needed to find where she can be safe from these ugly creatures.
Eventually she locks herself in the cubicle to relax. What was that thing doing to her…?
