Alec's smile remained on his face as he walked alongside with Heidi towards the car. The image of Kara's face kept playing in his head. "The girl is beautiful" He whispered to no one in particular. Heidi rolled her eyes and got in the backseat of the car, folding her arms across her full chest, Alec also got inside the car, but he took the passenger seat. "Today is really a great day. You get to beat up that guy and get noticed by his girlfriend, isn't that shit great?" Jeremy commented energetically as he started the car. Alec remembered when Kara had yelled at Milo that she was not his girlfriend. She also mentioned that they broke up. "Kara is not his girlfriend" Alec told his friends. Milo turned his head sideways to look at Alec "For real?" His brows were knitted. Alec smiled sympathetically as he recalled the way Milo treated her. "Milo is sick." "But..." Jeremy wet his lips with his tongue like he was mulling over something "Belinda told me Kara still loves Milo" "That
In the cafeteria filled with hums and laughter, Alec and Jeremy sat calmly, observing the activities as they ate together. "You see that girl with a flat ass?" Jeremy described, gesturing his head towards a girl laughing with one of the football players in the school. "Alec turned his head towards the direction Jeremy was gesturing to. "Yeah?" He took in her appearance "Was she one of the bullies?" "Yep" Jeremy answered, popping the 'p' in the word "That's Belinda." The name sounded familiar to Alec "The girl telling everyone that Kara still loves Milo?" "Exactly" Jeremy's reply was fast. Alec's stare lingered on her before he turned his head back to Jeremy and sighed, pulling some strands of his hair "I can't fight a girl" "Of course I know that, but I know you wanna see the faces of the dickheads bullying your girlfriend" Alec rolled his eyes, a playful smile on his face. "She is not my girlfriend" "Yet" Jeremy added firmly, grinning at him, then he saw someone that caught
In a class full of mostly unserious student, a beautiful and young female teacher stood in front of them to explain the topic of the day and ask questions. Alec was present in the class, sitting quietly like he has no life. He took several deep breaths to calm his nerves, but it wasn't working. The huge boys sitting at the back of the class made him feel apprehensive, and anytime he summons little courage to rotate his head to the back, his eyes would always lock with their fierce ones and he knew right away that he is a dead meat, all for saying 'hi' to the only girl that was nice enough to wave her right hand and say 'hello' when he was getting his books from his locker before class started. Alexander Todd, known as Alec, is a poor boy who is usually bullied in school. He has a father who gets sick frequently and still tries to work to provide for their daily needs, and he has no mother. His mother died from a dementia disease.Alec doesn't have much of a choice than to accept eve
Alec had thought the sound that woke him up was an alarm, but now he knows it's something in his head. He thought maybe going back to sleep will help his current confusing situation, but he is very wrong. He heard a ding sound and sat up on the bed, curious to know what the new sound is all about. There were some things shown to Alec on the screen. He began to read quietly. "Body: 15 (Weak)Mind: 50 (Average)Strength: 10 (Weak)He laughed sarcastically when he was done reading. "Really? I am that weak and you still chose me as your host? Oh, Come on, man!" He said amidst laughter "System or whatever the hell your name is...""You can name me whatever you like, host" The voice uttered. "Will you stop talking so loud!" Alec grumbled "And if you want me to name you, then you should stop calling me 'host'. I'm sure as hell I wasn't named 'host' by my parents" "Okay, Alexander Todd" The volume of the voice had gone a bit lower now. Alec was amazed at how the system obeyed him withou
Heidi is a hot blonde with sophisticated features. It is obvious she is from a wealthy family. Alec frowned when her face clicked into his head. He remembered he'd seen her down the hallway a couple of times in the past. "Does everyone who attends Kristine Highschool works here?" He asked no one in particular. Jeremy grinned at his question. "Isn't this the guy that slept for good forty nine hours?" Heidi asked, pointing at Alec. Alex felt embarrassed. Jeremy smiled shortly "Well, he's awake now""So, is he the new member of this team?" Heidi questioned, scrutinizing Alec from his head to toe. "Very soon. Very soon, he'll become one" Jeremy replied, smiling. Alec narrowed his eyes at Jeremy wondering what he meant by the information he just spilled out. He dragged Jeremy by the arm "Come here for a sec, please" They both walked away from Heidi. "What's this new member stuff all about?" Jeremy grinned. "I have been watching you in school, you are a guy with potentials, Alec,
Alec greeted his dad who is making dinner in the kitchen"Hi, dad" He headed towards the kitchen. "Hi, Dad" he greeted the second time and needed no soothsayer to tell him his dad was mad at him. "Alexander Todd, Welcome back home" He turned to Alec "Young man, you've got lot and lot of explaining to do" "I'm sorry, dad, I went job hunting" He lied. He doesn't have the courage to tell him about the things that happened, he doesn't want his father freaking out or getting very worried. "Job hunting? Job hunt....." Alec's dad trailed off and scoffed "For two days Alexander? two fucki...freaking days?"Alec smiled at his dad's effort not to use a curse word. "I had to check everywhere in the city since I was desperate and I finished up with everything very late at night so I slept at a friend's place" Alec explained in lies."Is that why you could not send a single text or give me a phone call?" He narrowed his eyes at his son "You look different""Yeahhhh, I feel happy""Obviously
Alec smiled at himself, he felt excitement surging through his body, and felt tempted to communicate with the system right in front of everyone, but he had to control his urges. Jeremy grinned at Alec, and gave him a thumbs up, while the other students mummured among themselves. "How did he grow so strong?" A guy asked his friend who simply shrugged and replied. "That is a mystery" "He looks hotter than before" A girl observed, squinting her eyes at Alec.Some of the girls stared at Alec with a new found admiration while some students threw him curious looks, trying to study him. ***Alec sat in Jeremy's car, patiently waiting for him to finish with his works, and drive them home afterwards. They were not able to talk about yesterday's events during lunch hour. They talked about the fight along with Jenny. "System" Alec called slowly "Are you there?" "Yes, Alexander Todd" The system's loud voice came through his head. Alec sighed, shaking his head and simultaneously rolling h
Jeremy walked over to the computer systems with Heidi by his side. The other members also got busy getting weapons and some of them planning with Heidi and Jeremy on how to take down the new threat, while Alec stood on a spot watching everyone. Jeremy's eyes were hard with concentration as he operated on the computer system with fast fingers. "Okay, let's see who we're gonna be dealing with"He zoomed in on the super human so everyone could get a clear view of it. "Alright. It's just a small guy, he doesn't even looks like he's got enough fighting skills. At least, he shouldn't be as strong and swift as Alec, and..." Jeremy paused and typed rapidly on the keyboard and narrowed his eyes "The guy destroyed mainly vehicles""But why?" Alec asked. "That's a good question" Jeremy said, standing straight "Heidi, please keep your eyes on the screen, check up other things you can about this little guy, okay? I'm going with Alec to deal with the superhuman" "You want me to go out there wi
