CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER: 36, LIFE ON EARTH (ALDRIC)
On the morning of modern day Earth, a bullet train was speeding towards its next destination. Inside it, some high-school girls were chatting with each other by the door. They were laughing and chattering when one of them with common black hair noticed an exceptionally handsome boy with light blond hair, who looked to be the same age as them.
"Hey, do any of you know that boy?"
Her friends looked at the way she was pointing and saw the handsome boy she was talking about. "Oh!" One of them exclaimed in surprise.
"Do you know him?" Another asked.
"Yes, he was in my class in middle school. He is Aldric, A model student from XX-XX High School. He was also a student council member with being gifted in both Sports and Academics. His family is in business and he is considered a second generation rich kid." She explained.
"He must have many girls pursuing him with that face, right?" One of them asked.
"Yes, there are many who confessed but were rejected."
"Why?" the girl who asked first asked.
"There’s been a rumor that he is pursuing Hestia from the same high-school."
"You mean the Girl from that famous family? The family that established 7 top Universities and 17 top High-Schools?"
"Exactly. They were very close since they both were in the student council. Many have confessed to seeing them together in many places."
"Aww~ He is such a handsome guy. Too bad he is not available." One of them complained.
Then the intercom announced their destination. They all got out of the train while the girl gave Aldric a last glance.
**
Soon, Aldric also reached His station. He had heard everything the few girls talked about him since they didn’t have much distance between them. His pale ears were slightly red as the image of that girl appeared in his mind.
He had met her at the start of middle school and had known each other ever since. They are not particularly close, but the moment he saw her elegant golden eyes, her long silky grey hair over her pale skin. His heart just skipped a beat.
He was aware that he didn’t love her, he just liked her and for him, it was enough. It was enough for him to pursue her.
But when he proposed at the end of middle school, he was rejected. Her excuse was that she liked someone else and she will meet him in this high-school.
Today is the first day of High-school and supposedly the day that guy will attend the school. He cannot wait to see how pathetic that guy will be in front of him.
Nobody, literally nobody in his entire life has ever compared him to someone and he lost against the other. He was very much confident that he would win her over eventually.
Soon, he reached the large school gate. Many students wearing the same school uniform as him were chatting and laughing as they entered the gate. He also noticed two distant figures of Hestia and Penelope.
They were walking towards the school library so he followed them with calm steps. They were far away, so even if he ran towards them, he wouldn’t catch up.
Following them, he soon reached the academy library. When he was about to go inside, distant voices reached his ears.
Aldric walked towards the voices and saw Hestia and others side features. He was about to greet them when he caught the sight of two male figures.
The brown haired youth was someone he knew. He wasn’t close to Duron but their parents knew each other and as a result they were acquainted. But the other youth was the one that made him uncomfortable.
A pale handsome boy with golden blond hair, his deep crystalline blue eyes were like gems reflecting the sunlight on his face. His messy hair complimented his face and his rosy lips moved as they talked to the three girls. His height of 5 ’10 was tall considering his age of only 16.
Aldric Knew. That face could slap him three times in comparison.
He got close uncomfortably; he was about to talk when he caught the mesmerized and longing look of all top three school beauties.
He remembered all three of their behaviors in middle school. Hestia was talkative and friendly but always kept an emotional distance from others. Azaria was always shy so she only interacted with Hestia and Penelope and no one else. Penelope on the other hand was cold and aloof, not talking to anyone other than Hestia and Azaria.
All three of them now had completely different expressions that he was unfamiliar with. Hestia was smiling ear to ear and her eyes were filled with affection as she didn’t have her previous guard for the guy.
Azaria clutched her shoulders with trembling hands as her affectionate eyes gazed at the boy’s entire head to toe body. While Penelope bit her lip in a seductive way while looking at him with a similar affectionate look.
After the boy finished introducing Duron, Hestia finally noticed him. She looked at him uncomfortably and introduced the golden blond boy, "Hey Aldric. Meet Dainsleif, the boy I talked about. And Dainsleif met Aldric, he was the student council member of our middle school."
Aldric’s eyes contracted as his gaze became more uncomfortable. He reached his hand towards Dainsleif for a handshake.
He also noticed Duron’s uncomfortable look similar to himself but didn’t think much about it.
Towards the next few months, he watched as the group of four hung out together, went to the movies and outings that looked more like dates.
He couldn’t tolerate the girl of his future to be so close to someone else. And as if to help him, he heard Azaria and Penelope talking about liking him. He revealed them to Hestia, expecting her to ignore those out of love but her answer shocked him.
She already knew about their feelings and revealed that they loved Dainsleif from childhood. He walked back to his seat and on the way to their destination; a bright light enveloped their vision.
That was the Day they were summoned to this Other World...
