The following morning, I woke up with a very pleased smile on my face. I groaned quietly, happily stretching out on the bed. I'd had a great dream last night where I was knee-deep in a huge orgy with all the girls I'd spoken to the previous day. Aside from a fairly unsurprising case of morning wood, once again I felt like my muscles were just packed with power. They felt as tense and as strong as the previous morning.
I pulled my knees to my chest and calmly thrust myself up onto the edge of the bed. I scratched the back of my head and thought for a moment as I smacked my lips.
Why
did I feel so strong? Was it seriously my imagination getting the better of me or was I somehow bulking up without doing anything? Again, my arms looked just the same as they ever did but I just had to know what the deal was.
Curious, I stood up and walked over to my computer desk. That wooden thing was stuffed with so many books and games and, of course, the heavy computer itself that it weighed an ungodly amount. What if, just maybe, I was able to move it on my own? I felt a bit hesitant as I squatted down and grabbed the underside of the desk. There was
no
way this was going to happen.
Then, in shock and awe, I lifted that heavy deskโall of it. And yet, I was hardly putting out any effort. It felt so easy. I somehow managed to pull it up about a foot in height before slowly letting it drop to the ground. I stood up, staring at the desk in disbelief. I didn't feel any worse for wear. In fact, I felt great. I couldn't possibly imagine where I'd gotten such strength from. Between that, the time stopping
and
the materializing objects... things were getting
very
interesting.
Everything still looked as vibrant and as colorful as before on my way to the bus stop. It was as though my eyes wanted to experience everything there was to offer. The cool air was a nice touch to really awaken my senses. I began to think about my newfound strength and wondered just how strong I actually was. I figured I could try to pick a fight with a jock or something and see how that went... but what would be the point? Aside from the very real possibility of getting my ass kicked, what would happen if I actually won? How would I even explain it?
I didn't care for fighting anyway. I would've much rather used that strength to lift a burning car off of a trapped dog or save an old lady from a burning house and jump out of the house just as a bad-ass explosion goes off behind us. ...I seemed to have fire on the brain for some reason. Perhaps it was just my
blazing spirit
and my ignited passion for life! ...Or maybe I just thought fire was cool, I dunno.
A few minutes later, the
non-burning
bus came to pick us up and take us to school. I found that, in the morning, I really didn't care about taking the seat on the bus all to myself. The random guy sitting next to me didn't care to bring it up either. I was enjoying myself just taking in the sights as they rolled on by, being glad that none of it was on fire.
The bus rolled to a stop once reaching our destination. We disembarked from its confines and headed out onto school grounds. It was roughly the same time as it got there yesterday but as I walked through the main gates, I didn't see Eve this time. I must have just missed her. I shrugged and decided to go actually have some breakfast instead of missing it again. To make up for time, I decided to enact my previous trick of stopping time once I'd sat down with my food. When I was done, I resumed time and went to throw my tray away. No one was any the wiser.
It was a bright, sunshiny morning. I was feeling so great after having an actual meal that I barged out of the cafeteria and marched straight toward my usual sitting place with my friends.
"Psst," a voice called out to me from nearby, bringing me to a curious halt. I quickly looked over and saw Frank, Josh and Brandon all hanging out together against the wall of the cafeteria building. I was quite confused as I walked up to them.
"What are you guys all doing way over here?" I asked. The trio looked at each other before looking back at me.
"We wanted to ask you to do something," Frank said. "You know, since you're a ladies' man now." I smirked as I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Okay, what is it?" I asked with an amused shake of my head.
"We wanted to see you... you know, in action," Brandon said.
"Action?" I asked, dumbfounded.
"Yeah," Frank said. "We were hoping you could maybe..." he trailed off as he pointed to Nora. She was sitting by herself in our usual hangout place, curiously looking around for any of us.
I was a little offended by how this was going. What did they expect me to do, exactly? I wasn't some gigolo. Besides, Nora was just my friend and I wanted to keep things that way between her and Iโnothing more.
"Oh, come on, you guys...," I said with annoyance in my voice.
Josh quickly responded, trying to calm me down. "No, look, this is just for fun." I sighed and folded my arms across my chest, willing to give him a listen. "Nora totally digs you, we all know that. So maybe you could go over there and sit with her and put your 'Anthony charm' on her?"
I quirked an eyebrow. "What..., seriously?" I asked. I
was
suspicious about how Nora seemed really into me lately. Hearing it from them pretty much confirmed it for me.
"Yeah, go on, man," Josh said, the other two eagerly waving me away.
I sighed and casually shrugged. "Well, all right..." I wasn't sure if this was going to blow up in my face somehow.
I then headed over to where Nora was sitting. She quickly spotted me and waved to me as I approached.
"Hey there," she greeted me with a smile.
"Hey," I replied as I placed my backpack on the floor and then sat next to her.
She then curiously looked around again. "So, where are the others?"
"They're staring at us right now," I replied with a slight smirk. She looked at me in surprise before slowly scanning the area. "Don't look. They wanted me to come over and talk to you as some kind of experiment to see if I could totally
charm
you."
She sighed and laughed in embarrassment. "Oh, god," she remarked as she folded her hands over her mouth. "Somehow that
doesn't
surprise me," she replied with another coy laugh, followed by a deep sigh. "So..., I'm guessing you've noticed, too?"
"It's kind of hard not to," I calmly replied. "With you staring at me all the time now."
"I don't mean to stare... it's just..." she shyly rubbed her arm and looked away. "I, um..., you know, I've always thought you were pretty cool. But the way you've been acting the past few days is... is really interestingโin a good way. I like it."
