Eight:
"Because he's our new classmate," she answered that surprised me.
Set aside my surprised, I'm so grateful to know that he became our classmate not just schoolmate but 'classmate'.
"Wait, I never heard of it!" I answered clueless about it.
"His advisor transferred him to our class because of the sudden drop in his grades and for no apparent reason–––"
"Okay!" I quickly answered cutting her off and I don't care his grades because all I care is that, he is much nearer to me. "Where is he anyway?" I asked as I search around our room.
"He–––"
"There he is!" I quickly cut off Dione as soon as I saw him outside our classroom and without any further words I rush out and quickly grab his hand to take him away from everyone else.

Afterwards…
"Let us talk!" I announced after we went at the back of our school. With my hands put at the both sides of my waist as soon as I let go of his hand then I intently look at him. "Tell me, how did you do that?"
"What?"
What the hell?! He's so calm as if nothing happened? That annoys me! "What is your problem?! Seems like nothing happened last week at the front of the church?!"
"Yes, there is."
"Darn it! Es como si nada te hubiera pasado mientras estoy en un lío." I said and sighed deeply.
"I'm in a mess too." Suddenly he answered that surprised me.
"What?" I asked as my eyes blink as if I'm seeing someone else.
"There are also events in my life that are hard to believe. But it happens at an unexpected moment. Just like what happened to us last Sunday. Incluso yo, tampoco entiendo por qué estaba allí esa vez."
My eyes widened in shock when I heard him speak Spanish. "You…"
"I can speak and understand all the different kinds of languages. That's why you don't need to be surprise about that."
Speechless. That is what I feel and for some reason, all of a sudden my real purpose in talking to him was erased from my mind. "Shit!" I shouted as my frustration hits hard on me.
"Dacă aş fi în locul tău, ar trebui să afli ce abilităţi se ascund în tine înainte de a te pune în mare pericol."
"What did you say?"
"Romanian."
"Huh?"
"You'll know it." He said before leaving me puzzled of what he said. "Oh! You jerk!" I shouted when he was totally gone out of my sight also when I finally remember what my real purpose of talking to him. "Ahhh!" I screamed out loud.

Akachi National High School
As soon as I enter our room, I quickly open our computer to search about the meaning of what Mr. Mysterious told me. And I was amazed at the content of what he said.
What hidden abilities he was talking about? Me, will be in great danger? How?
"You are thinking deeply again." Chadd noticed me and he sat beside me. "What is it now?"
"I don't know and I don't want to know."
"What are you talking about?"
I slump my head down at the table and heaved a sign before I answered. "Tampoco creerás si te lo digo. But well, it's hard to explain but I'm confused about my reality and my dream."
"Try not to mix your dream into your waking life, Anne." He simply advised and if only I can really do it maybe it won't be a problem anymore.
"I don't know, Chaddy! I just don't know!"

"Hey! Wake up!"
I lazily look up to him and I already knew I'm inside my dream again.
"Hey! Mr. Mys-te-rious." I spoke it in syllables. "Who are you really? Why is it necessary that whenever I'm in trouble you are there? What are you? An Angel or a Demon? Which one are you?" I bored looking at him after my questions.
He sighed. "First, I have a name."
"Oh, okay." I nodded with my head still on the table.
"Second, I'm Almos. Third, I'm not a Demon."
"Then, you're an Angel." I replied lazily that he just sighed.
"And lastly, I need to save you because that is my duty."
"Then, you are my Guardian Angel." He just brushes his hair with his hand and suddenly my heart stops beating then it beats so fast that made my head out of the table. "I have to go!" I said as I quickly avoid his eyes but to my surprised he grabs my wrist that made me stop.
"Wait!" He said and when I look back at him, I'm so nervous seeing our face is just inch apart from each other. Even he couldn't speak a word because of that sudden closer.
My lips shaken because I wanted to say something but I cannot uttered any words. I just keep staring through his eyes and he did the same way. In silence, we just keep staring and I don't know how we end up because I finally wake up out of my dreams.

Morning
'My Mr. Mysterious has a name.' I quietly said to myself.
We had just finished our first class and we're now waiting for the second class to start. As I wait, I look out at the window up to the blue sky and whisper through the wind his name clearly. "Almos."
"Who's Almos?" Suddenly out of the blue Claire asked me that cuts off my peace.
"Nothing!"
"Your tendency to answer nothing," she irritably answered then shrugged. "Anyway, that's not what I came here for."
"What is it?"
"About Chadd." My attention quickly focuses onto her. "Looks like you have no idea what's going on with him, right?"
"What are you talking about?"
"He's always missing out in the middle of their practice."
I don't really know and no idea about the happenings around Chadd and thinking of it, I neglected my only best friend. Make me feel so guilty because I focused myself only to my dreams.
