Lust for Power

Six-thirty on the clock, I didn’t really expect Aer to be here in school at this time, he has a knack for unpunctuality, I just get here early cause it’s better than being at home. Its a little messy back home, but then again we all have issues. There isn’t a lot to do here, in this boring classroom, the teachers are just as unenthusiastic as we all are. I would rather be in an internet café, or as we call it here ‘com-shop’ at least it’s fun there. Sometimes when the mood takes Aer he comes with me too, but he’d rather play his games at home, that’s just the kind of gamer he is. That Is if he doesn’t indulge himself in his magic or sorcery or whatever, I think he might actually know a spell that lets him see thru clothes, knowing him. He really is a sick pervert, although I’m just as guilty, all guys are, but he’s always just a little more of everything.

Third-year high school, I’ve been in this damned school since I was a kid, second year when Aries appeared, A small lean character with dark circles under his eyes. I knew he was weird, and somewhat dangerous, everyone was curious, but that curiosity gradually turned into indifference by the time he understood how to act a bit like everyone else, the sociopath. He didn’t have the amulet then, but he already seemed to have a sort of power behind his morbid eyes. Though regardless, he didn’t fight back against bullies for who knows why, maybe he’s just a coward, though he did fight, just a little, out of frustration, but you could see in his eyes he saving something special for all the people he hated. I was a little bullied to, and so just cause we were classmates we ended up talking, mostly profanity whose subject were the bullies. But slowly we realized we had a lot of similar interests, but he likes to say we are only incidental friends. That we stick just because we have no choice. I’d like to believe that too.

So when he did get his amulet from the Old Magic Man, Mansell, You could clearly see that there was something disturbing in his eyes, a sort of malign enthusiasm. I just know he’d make those bullies pay, one day. And out of all the shit we’ve went through, and have lived through. It starts getting old and we started thinking like rational citizens, well, I’m not too sure about him. But I want to finish my studies, and have a real job, maybe as some kind of computer programmer or something. On the other hand Aries seems more interested in following Mansell’s footsteps. But Mansell was a jolly old man, well at least, he wasn’t as bleak looking as Aries.

It was almost seven, still no signs of the bastard, or of our teachers if they ever feel like working anyway. So I stood outside the hallway, which had a good view down on the campus. I saw Senna coming up, she is beautiful, but not as catchy as everyone else. But if you looked close enough, you would notice. So it was no surprise that Aer would have a thing for her, which was also supported by some circumstance before which ended up with Senna handing his wallet back. Also another time which it was actually Senna’s wallet Aer picked and so handed it back after knowing it was hers, in his own slimy way without letting her know he did it. Though even though he doesn’t say it, even if he is on his way to becoming some mad evil sorcerer or whatever, I know he fell for her. But I know him, he’d do everything he could inside to kill his feelings, and I’m not so sure but that amulet of his seems to help in doing so, it seems to numb him off when he’s feeling guilt or affection or something he believes as a weakness. Man, am I perceptive today.

Then speaking of the goddamned devil, I spotted Aer somewhere off, still on his way to the gate, I knew he saw Senna, he seemed to be staring at her. Oh ever are your eyes so sharp my friend, and sharp enough, he looked at me too, I gave flipped him a finger. But what do we have here, no response? He should have flipped me with two, but he just stared into the ground this time, slowed pace, and went through the gate. Other than his junk, something must be up.
