Suspicions

~ Tuesday Morning ~

No one's POV

Shane picked up Saomi early this morning and took her to school from her house. When she arrived at school, she immediately said goodbye to Shane and went to her friend's in the school's park.

Saomi attends Colsidera Conception High School. She is sixteen yrs old, she's in the 11th grade. She's aced all her classes and skipped a grade, due to her great photographic memory which should I say she is very much grateful for. She has friends but not alot. This school she attends revolves around people under her age, her age and over her age to be extremely girly, a Karen, mean, a jerk, and completely insensitive; let's also not forget their imbecilic behavior. To find friends in such a place that only gives off fake-ness is really, really hard, but she managed to find her people.

She saw her friends sitting at a tree her friends and her called the tree of wisdom. Saomi walked up to them when she recognized them and they seemed to be having quite an...engaging conversation. When they saw her on her way going over to them, they stopped and smiled at her then said...

Hey Omi!!!, Saomi's friends both said in unison.

Saomi: Hey Guys!!!, I know y'all are twins but I will never get used that unison thing, she said as if she had just discovered something mind blowing.

Saomi: So what were you guys talking about?, she asked curiously.

Amery: Well, I'm here trying to explain to Emery that there's no multiverse out there, she said shooting Emery a death glare.

Emery: Actually there is, it's just that no one has ever been there before, he said feeling pleased with himself.

Saomi: And how are you so sure that it even exits, Emery?, she said cutting off Amery from saying what she wanted to say.

Emery: Uh... -I... -it..., he said fiddling through his school bag and trying to find the right words to answer that 'interesting' question.

After a long few minutes of waiting, Saomi finally heard the words she wanted to hear.

Emery:Ugh, I give up, he said scowling.

Saomi: Hm!!, she said smirking while looking down at him from where she was standing in front of them with her hands folded at her chest.

Amery: This happens every time...every time!, she said as she did a facepalm and shaked her head in a disagreeing way.

Amery: Especially when you point out something that is SCIENTIFICALLY AND FACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE!!!, she yelled still face palming.

Saomi internally giggled, but kept collected in her physical features.

Amery: What do you even learn when you come to school, butthead?, She said looking at him like he was loosing it in the head.

Emery: I'm sorry, he said in quite a manly sarcastic cry.

Saomi most definitely wanted to laugh now but she kept quite, this is no laughing matter. It's serious, he's done this far too many times now and he needs to learn to get his facts straight.

Amery: Don't say sorry to me, say sorry to your education, your future, YOUR LIFE!!. Only God knows how many false information is piled up in your brain. You watch too much sci-fi movies and cartoons and end up getting the wrong idea about them and put them into the context of our world. This isn't some fantasy you see on TV, this is real life Emery, you need to take that more seriously. If you dare come to me with more of your shenanigans, I will optionally not fraternize with your maniac like behavior and personally burn your PS5 and Nintendo switch along with your phone in the back yard while you're sleeping, you hear me?, and don't even think about hiding them you know you can't hide crap from me, you're too stupid, she said staring a deadly stare at him the whole time.

Emery: Ok!!...I understand, no need to go to tremendous extents, he said reassuring her of his growing change.

Saomi: Good, now let's move on with our lives, forget this monstrosity just happened yet again and prepare for our Geography class that we have in 14...minutes, she said while looking at the watch on her right hand.

Amery: Oh- ok!, let's go!!!, Amery said realizing what she had just heard.

~ le time skip to lunch time~

I met up with Amery and Emery at the cafeteria. I sat with them in a far corner of the lunch area. My boyfriend joined quite a while later.

Shane: Omi, how's your day been so far?, he asked smirking.

Saomi: It would have been way much better if you weren't smirking but otherwise from that, it's been quite a chill day. How was your's?, she asked smiling at him.

Shane: My day was pretty cool actually, I blew up a chemistry lab today,- added too much sodium chloride, it's filled with fungi and stuff. Poof!!!, he said dramatically and also expressing the "Poof".

Saomi: Really?, Saomi said sarcastically with a smile.

Saomi's: I should be proud at the fact that my boyfriend is an idiot. Like, bruh!!, when are you ever going to take school seriously?, we have less than two years left in highschool and you keep joking around, she said in a serious tone.

Shane: Omi-bae,. chill, chill, I told you knowledge works with a flow, he said obviously "chillin" .

Saomi: Stop calling me that!, and you've been telling me that since the 8th grade and you still get C minuses, ALOT, she said expressing the word "ALOT", in a way of saying the word "Duh".

Shane: I know, Omi, I'm working on it, it's not like I don't study, I do, but it just doesn't work as properly for me as it does for others, he said playing with his food sadly.

Saomi: Then why don't you let me help you then, she insisted.

Shane: I don't want you to waste your time on me,he said doing his previous action.

Saomi: You're my besto friendo, no offense.( she said looking at Amery and Emery).

Amery and Emery: None taken!, they said in unison.

Saomi: Ugh!!, if it wasn't the unison, she said flailing to herself.

Amery and Emery: Sorry!, they said in unison once again.

Saomi: Here we go again, she said flailing even worse.

Saomi: Anyways, Shane, I love you and I don't care what you want to say or think, but I'm going to help you study, No. Matter. What, she said making sure he had her full attention.

Shane: W-well, thanks babe, he said with his face lit up and all.

Saomi: Anytime, she said letting out a sigh of relief.

The bell rang and it was time for them to go to their next class.

Saomi: Well, I gotta go, I have Japanese class right now, she said excitedly.

Amery: See you later OMI!!!, Amery said.

Emery: Later besto friendo, Emery said.

Amery and Emery walked away having a conflict about who was Omi's best friend, which Saomi found really amusing.

Saomi: Bye to you guys too, she shouted.

Shane: Bye Omi, Shane said giving her a peck on the lips.

Saomi: Bye, she said blushing.

Shane: I'll pick you up after school, he said gladly.

Saomi headed to her class

~ le time skip to 1 session later in the Japanese class~

Saomi was excited to go to Japanese class, but all she could think about was the weird stuff happening to her.

She really wanted to get more information before she thought what she heard was actually real. She found the thing was really... scandalous of them. It's not like she didn't know that she was adopted or Frentice wasn't her real mom, she just didn't want her to know that she knows. It was pretty obvious actually, she didn't have any of her looks, she had no father to prove her wrong. But this... she'd never expect them to say those stuff. But her doubts still remained, she was being drugged. There's a 99% chance she was hallucinating it all, but a part of her was consistently stuck and was completely banking on that 1% chance that paved the way for the possibility she quite hoped wasn't true... actually true. Her real questions were towards this monstrosity were:

What do they mean by "powers"?

What is...the truth?

What exactly are they keeping so bad a secret that I have to wait till I'm 18 to find out?

Who is Mr. Black and what is he planning?

This is all so confusing, Saomi thought.

Though her questions expanded...

Did they kidnap me? Or were they trying to save me?

What did mom mean correctly when she said "we all could die"?

What am I too young to process?

Was I really from India and-

Saomi was drawn away from her thoughts by her Japanese teacher saying:

Chikuri Senpai: Amera, jugyō-chū ni jubun no kangae o tōshite kaisō suru koto o eranda riyū oshietekudasai.

Saomi: Chikuri Senpai, gomen ne, nidoto nai yo, kitto.

Chikuri Senpai: Demeda, to kare we gakkari shita yō mi kanojo o mite itta.

Konojo wa kare no saikō no seitodesu.

Saomi: Tashika ni senpai.

( English translation)

Mr. Chikuri: Amera, would you love to explain to me why you chose to reminisce through your thoughts during my class?, he asked.

Saomi: I'm sorry Mr. Chikuri, it won't happen again, I'm sure of it, she said reassuringly.

Mr. Chikuri: It better not, he said looking at her disappointedly.

She was his best student.

Saomi: Sure thing sir.

~ After school ~

Amery: Hey Omi!, You okay?, You seem...off, Amery said.

Emery: Yeah!, You don't look happy at all, Emery said quite sad.

Saomi: I...I zoned out in Japanese class, she said as she face palmed.

Amery and Emery: Oh...wow!!!, Amery and Emery said in unison "sarcastically".

What?!!, she said.

Amery: Have you ever zoned out before?, It's really common everyone does it, Amery said.

Saomi: Ofcourse I have...but not in Japanese class, she said looking on the ground.

Amery: Oh..., Amery said.

Amery: I almost forgot the Art of obtaining the knowledge of Japanese interests you, ha!, Amery said proudly.

Emery: You must feel horrible, Emery said.

That got Saomi in the sad state.

Amery: There you go acting inhuman again, sometimes you make me think you're an alien or something. It's so weirdest how you make the weirdest things bother you so deeply, Amery said sadly but considerately.

Emery: That would actually make sense bec-

Emery got cut off by Amery's death glare that literally screamed " Not this again " and oooh!!, he got the message alright!!. He instantly shut up like a shy puppy.

Amery: Anyways..., Amery said while rolling her eyes at her brother.

Amery: Emery and I have to go home now, as soon as I get home I'll text you, try to wear a smile for me please, WEIRDO!!! and we'll see you tomorrow, okay?

Saomi: Yeah, sure BEANBRAIN!!! and see yah later STUPIDORE!!!, she said jokingly.

They did a group hug.

Emery: I'm hurt, he said placing his hand on his shirt and grabbing the area that his heart is located, or where he thought...his heart was located.

Amery: Dummy!!!, Amery said slapping Emery at the back of his head with her hand.

Amery: That's not where your heart is located, it's on the left side of your chest stupid fool!!, and don't worry, you'll be healed by the time you see the light of tomorrow's day, that's if you actually make it out alive before then, she said smirking.

Emery: Saomi is it just me? or Amery is being overly creepy and she's also planning something evil, he said in a troubled way.

Saomi decided to play along and say-

Saomi: Nah!, it's just you, she said making her statement look convincing.

The look on Emery's face after her response to him questions was to die for. Saomi really wanted to burst out laughing but she kept collected.

Saomi: Oh well...see you tomorrow, she said.

Amery and Emery: See you tomorrow, Amery and Emery said.

The two siblings took off and began to head home.

That unison thing is really irritating me, Saomi thought.

~ At Saomi's house~

Saomi: Hey...Mom?, Saomi asked hesitantly while looking are for her so called mom.

Saomi's Mom: Hi love, how was your day?, Saomi's mom asked.

Saomi: It was cool, Saomi said making a very convincible smile.

Saomi's Mom: That's good to know, said Saomi's Mom.

Saomi's Mom: Where are you going to so fast?, she asked before Saomi could take her first step on the stairs so that sh could head to her room.

Saomi let a exhausted sigh before turning around to face the woman infront of her and then says-

Saomi: Uh...I don't know, maybe to my room!!, Saomi said sarcastically.

Saomi's Mom: Do you have a date with Shane?,her "mother" asked inquisitively.

Saomi: NO!!!, I don't!!!, Saomi said a bit too aggressive for her "mother's" liking.

Saomi's Mom: O...kay, her mom said.

Saomi: I'm sorry, Saomi said realizing what she had just did.

Saomi: I just( sighs)....had- a - long day, she said.

Saomi's Mom: It's fine ya'know, it happens to everyone, she said.

Saomi: I'm just gonna go to my room then, Saomi said.

Saomi's Mom: Yeah, she said in agreement.

~When Saomi is in her room alone~

Saomi: Well, here we go again, Saomi said to herself.

Saomi: Hiding the truth is much harder than I thought...I have to be more careful; especially with my words and facial expressions.

Saomi: So I have powers, but their being dampened by... something that's in my meds, I think I was kidnapped or probably kidnapped. Some people might think I'm stupid for thinking like this. Some people would say " confront them", but no, I won't do that, because I don't know how truth it is. The only idea I have that I can bank on to display the truth is pretty risky and dangerous. I might die. But I can't keep living like this anymore. I need to know who I am...what I am.  I don't have a choice this has to be done. It's either living in the shadows with it for the rest of my life or living in the light knowing exactly what and who I am. It's this or nothing.

Saomi: I'm gonna...
