"Don't be stupid, steer out of trouble, and whatever happens, stay alive." 

I really don't know why Dad always repeat those words to me everyday. I take heed of his words. Play by his rules, never dared to go against him except if it's extremely necessary.

He's all that I need to get by. Our life was ordinary. Everything was perfectly fine, perfectly normal, just an everyday routine we get used to live. But then this guy calling himself 'The Seeker' came... And he start making a mess out of my life. 

He said I have powers. - Who believe that crap?
He said I have extraordinary abilities. - Cool! I want to be Superman.
He said I was chosen. - Who? The god of newbie bullies? 
The mark of five imprinted deep into my skin proves that I am one of the TWELVE. - You sure it's not a tattoo? I firmly believe it's a tattoo. 

I never believe him. I drove him out. I did not listen. I wish I did. Maybe he could have help me. Maybe he could have save me from the trouble of falling right into their trap. I know nothing. Because of my stubbornness I lost everything. So now I'm all alone. But she stretch her hand to me. She gave me hope. She invited me to come. And I did. 

So our search began. For the remaining TEN.

They called me FIVE

We walked hand in hand inside our class. Unlike my first day on Opra, the room is filled with kids who has an air of I couldn't care less. No meanie looking, all are disciplined faces. They chatter only in their seats. They laughed, the kid around, the air is completely friendly.

I can tell they're all having fun. Except one thing. They're smiling facial expression comes up strained. Like how you see threatened extras in movies. Knives or guns at their ribs, they we're forced to act what the perpetrator tell them to do.

'Don't do anything stupid. Act normal,' One out of ten, that came out as super awkward and totally obvious.

I can't understand why they're faces came out like that to me. Am I being paranoid? Or something is actually on the work here?
