North POV••••••"Yesterday was great" I said while wearing my sneakers."I hope she goes for prom. Michael needs to know she's okay and it is possible she might be my date. I couldn't reach him last night, which was odd. His line is always available" I uttered while reaching for my phone on the table.I stood up, dialled his line and walked to the door to leave the room. "Still no response. Crap! I hope he didn't get kidnapped. If he did, and his parents do pay ransom, they will definitely start to home school him. Damn! I hope that is not the case" I said as I reached the sitting room.*It is a little bit chilly today. Maybe I should get my hoodie...Nah, I'll be fine*I yourned, shutting the door behind me.It's a Saturday, so I usually go for morning jogs. I started doing that since I was 14. Because, before my dad died. He would always tell me, "A man should always make out time to exercise"I wanted to start from the age of 9, but my mom didn't let me.She would always say, "You

Michael POV•••••••*You mustn't be that cold Stan.*"Now tell me, why would my own son, who has a personal driver, let himself drive a bicycle" Dad exclaimed. "I got you a personal driver, a good one! So I do not see why you would want to drive a bicycle instead. When you turned 13, you decided you didn't want to school at the best school in the state, which was allowed! I didn't want to force you. You said you preferred a public school instead, and your mom and I let you. So we got a professional driver who also could protect you"His expression turns thoughtful. "Look son, you have your free will, but you are still my son, and as your father, I'm disappointed in your recent choices" "Sorry, Dad. I just didn't want to feel entitled. I want to do things for myself. I don't want to be known as the son of a wealthy man, I want to be known as Michael. Not for what was handed to me, but for what I do. I appreciate everything dad, even for flying all the way back here to see me, I really

••••••10 minutes later.."Okay, where is she?" I muttered as my eyes scan the park.I picked out my phone and called."Hey, are you here yet?" She asked."Yeah, but I can't find you""Uhmmm, are you wearing a grey hoodie?""Yeah""Okay, look to your right, I am waving my hands""Okay! I see you" I said as I noticed her next to a tree.While riding toward her, I noticed two other people with her - A tall guy and an average height girl."Sorry, I brought my bike instead" I voiced as I reach them."Yeah, it's cool. So, how is it?" Ashlyn asked."The violin? Yeah, it looks good. They fixed it"She smiled. "That's great. Come on, let me introduce you to my friends""So.. This is Hima, and that's Dave" she said while giving an introducing gesture. "Hey, nice to meet you" Hima said."Sup, dude" Dave greeted."Hey" I replied."So, the famous North! The one who plays the violin!" Hima grinned."Famous? What..?" I smiled, blushing a little."Yeah. Ashlyn told us about you. She says she has a

••••••I sighed and asked, "Are you an Avatar?"There was a pause on the other end. Then Michael finally replied, "An Avatar? Is that what this is?""Holy shit! I knew it. You are sensing it right? How different your body feels, and how your senses have heightened. You feel it, right?""What! You too?" He asked."Yes! So, you are one! Or have just become one""Avatar? I do feel changes though. But I'm not sure I can bend elements. And I thought there could only be one Avatar?""No! Not that kind of Avatar. It's a long story. Can I come to the hospital tomorrow?""I'll be discharged tomorrow. So you could come to my place instead""Alright. I'll be there. Send me the address""Why don't I just ask Stan to pick you?" "No! Don't worry about that. And I'm sure he's tired. So I will get there myself""Okay... Cool. You know you could text me the info about this whole Avatar thing, right""I wish I could. But if I did, I'd sound unrealistic""Oh. Well, now I'm just really curious. I'll see

•••••"Yeah!" I smiled. "Is it the remix?""Nah... I kinda prefer the original. But I can play the remix if you want""No, don't worry. I prefer the original too. Could you turn it up""Yeah, sure"*Nice*"So... Are you going to meet your girl?" He asked with a mischievous grin."What?! No. I'm going to meet my friend, a guy" I replied."Oh, wait! You gay?""No! Chill! I'm not. He just got out of the hospital. So, I am going to visit him""Oh, alright. That's nice""Yeah" I grinned."You know, I have a gay friend""Oh, okay" I said as I stared out the window."Yeah. And he scares me!"I laughed."What?! Why" I asked as I turn toward him."I mean... It's cool his gay, I don't judge, only God judge. But you know, I'm straight, and he's gay! We don't go together. The guy could be staring at my behind and be getting mixed up feelings. I don't want that! Know what I mean" he chuckled. "See how fine I am, I don't want him trying anything that would make me put a hole in his teeth. There was
