It all seemed to flood back. She remembered that Ray was oddly interested about her birthmark, so much so that he sneaked through the night to check it. It all made sense. Ray knew about the meaning of the mark.

Kayla was near her home when it happened. It was not obvious when she lost control over her own senses but Kayla remembered a long lost memory of her childhood. She drifted away into the land of the past.

Kayla was strapped onto a chair in what appeared to be a hospital of some sort. She was screaming because of the intense pain on her neck. The only person present in the room besides her is a doctor who is operating the machines working on her neck. His face is covered by a mask and only his blue eyes are visible.

Kayla comes back to reality in a moment again. When she does however, she notices that she's going on the wrong side of the road and an incoming car is blaring it's horn. Kayla barely manages to turn to a side, scraping a minute amount of paint on the car.

"Watch where you're going, you fool!" comes an angry voice from the car.

Kayla resumes her journey back home whilst thinking about what just happened.

"Where did that just come from? Was that me in the chair? Am I dreaming?"

It didn't make any sense to her. Not yet that is.

The next day, Kayla is woken up by her mother instead.

"Kayla, wake up! You're late!"

"Huh?" Kayla looks at her clock but it's not displaying the time. She finds her Glassius to see the time. It's 7:20AM

"Oh no! I'm doomed!" Kayla jumps out of bed and hastily does everything to get ready.

She hurriedly reaches down, almost falling from the faint red glass stairs.

"Why did the alarm not ring?!" she asks her parents.

"Well I think it's because of-"

"There's no time!" Kayla takes a big gulp of her juice and takes her toast with her.

It was already 7:45 AM by the time she took out her bike.

Kayla is barely able to reach her school in time. She had to wade through crowds of people, cut corners, use alleyways and break traffic laws. But at least she reached on time. She was a meter away from her classroom's door when the bell rang.

Kayla shifts back to normal mode upon sitting down on her seat. The class begins and the teacher asks everyone to hand out their homework. Kayla opens her bag to take it out but it's not there. She left it back home!

Just like usual, it's her, the hallway, her Glassius and a whole lotta time.

At break time, Zandra brings her chair near Ray and Kayla to eat lunch together.

"Where's your lunch, Kayla?" Zandra asks

"Oh, I forgot." Kayla says.

"You forgot the homework too. Why?"

"Well my alarm didn't ring so I couldn't wake up on time. I was already late so I hurried along and forgot it."

"That's interesting. The power was out all night."

"Why?" Ray asks.

"Well, the news says that the power grid was hit by lightning, that's why the power died."

"Oh the irony!" Kayla remarks.

"That must have been a shocking sight." Ray adds.

They were all laughing and giggling.

"Kayla. We'll share our lunch with you." Zandra says

"Oh no. There's no need for that. I'm full!"

"Stop lying girl."

Ray and Zandra both give half of their lunches to Kayla.

"Ray, grab my water bottle from my bag please!"

"Sure thing, Zandra"

Ray gets up to do the task assigned to him, but Lyon bumps into him from his side as he attempts to open the bag.

Lyon drops his lunch on the floor and snaps at Ray.

"Don't you have eyes, you idiot?"

"I do but as you can see I'm not the one at fault here."

"It's your fault! Now my lunch is on the floor."

"Nope. Not my problem."

"Do you know who I am, you low life?!"

"Nope."

Lyon feels the blow inflicted on his personality.

"I hold the highest rank in this class! Everyone bends to what I say."

"You mean you're the highest person in class?"

"Yes."

"You need to lessen your drug consumption or else this is gonna become a very serious problem."

"What did you just say?!"

By now, the whole class has heard it. Ray openly roasted Lyon. Lyon is embarrassed and can feel his fame taking a nosedive. To be told off by a new student. He is enraged.

"I'm gonna make you swallow your words!"

"Oh my, are you threatening me? Let's see what the teacher thinks of this."

His face is as red as blood.

He thinks of tripping Ray to get his revenge. Just as Ray turns his back to him and starts walking, Lyon puts his foot in front of Ray to make him fall. Ray was already expecting this. He kicks Lyon's foot so hard that he falls on his face. Ray patiently sits back in his chair.

Lyon's last straw has failed as well. And his fame has decreased a considerable amount too. He has one of his underlings pick up his lunch and goes out to buy something else.

"Wow! Ray you are so cool!" Zandra is amazed.

"He needed to learn his place."

"I bet he won't bother you again." Kayla says.

"I hope so." Ray replies.

"That was Lyon Hawk by the way. He thinks he's the ruler of this whole class, since everyone always follows him." Kayla explains.

The whole class eyeballs Ray as he eats his lunch with Kayla and Zandra.
