The Twin's Magic

Chapter 10- Discovering My Magic*

Yuri's POV

I have learned from the other students here at OU that Shin Tui and Jack Ross are best friends and they came from a very rich family that rules a corporation and that corporation has a big investment in this school. I think that is the reason why they call themselves, "school highnesses".

I wonder how rich their family is?

It's Saturday and we don't have school.

It's in favor of me that I can rest for a while and get rid of those pains in my life. I'm so happy that I won't see them for two days.

I suppose to relax and take a break but, why is it that even at home I am thinking of them? It's so weird that they keep on bugging me.

I finished doing the household chores assigned to me such as, cleaning our room, folding the washed clothes, and washing the dishes.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon when I sat at our window as I watched the people walk outside. It was fun to just watch them.

Abruptly, my attention was taken away when my sister spoke without me realizing that she was now in front of me.

"Hey, Yuri, we're going to the town plaza to watch a show, do you want to come along with us?" Suri asked me, she was well dressed and ready to leave.

"Suri, come down... let's go!"

I lost my attention to my sister and peeked down when I heard the group of girls calling her name.

Look at this sister of mine, she asked me to come with her when she's ready to leave. I think she did it intentionally.

"All right, your friends are already waiting for you. I'll just follow you guys later if I'm in the mood," I replied lazily.

An hour has passed and I still can't think of anything to do.

Mom doesn't let us use our gadgets for too long because she believes that is not helpful if we focus ourselves on something that might affect our minds. She just gives us thirty minutes to browse. We understand that Mom just doesn't want us to be influenced by the bad things we've seen in there but I think not everything you see on the internet is bad. There are a lot of things out there that are very helpful and give us knowledge but as a mother, she only wants the best for us, that's why we gladly followed her direction.

"Yuri, my sweety, why don't you go out and have fun. Follow your sister at the plaza. I heard there will be many events happening there tonight, you should come and see for yourself," Mom suggested.

Since I couldn't think of anything to do, I just agreed to what Mom said.

"Alright, Mom, I'll just go to our room first and change clothes," I was forced to say, I didn't know why I was so lazy.

It was seven o'clock in the evening but the plaza was still very bright because of the lights that filled the fun of the people out there.

Everyone was busy with different things and I was just looking around while walking slowly.

Thanksgiving is being celebrated today for the citizens of Greenwoods. There are games, rides, and concerts in store for those who want to join. There are also many different types of food to buy around. The place is so noisy and everyone is so busy.

I can’t help but enjoy the rides.

I tried to ride on the Ferris Wheel but I just got dizzy in return. I also tried on the carousel but the kids just laughed at me.

I was walking again finding what suits me when I was stunned by the melodious voice of someone singing an acoustic song while playing the guitar. Unknowingly, my feet just brought me there.

I saw how amazed the girls were as they seemed to be dreamers just staring at the very handsome guy singing on stage.

I was startled and shook my head when I learned that the guy who was singing is Jack. I can't believe it. Did my sights deceive me? I'm still rubbing my eyes trying to make sure that I am not mistaken. But what does a Jack Ross doing here in the plaza? That confused me.

Strangely, he is not supposed to be here, he's not from this place. As far as I know, he lives in the center of Oakwood City where all the richest residents are located.

I never imagine that his voice was so beautiful and he was good at playing the guitar. All the girls were so fascinated just looking at him. I can’t describe how happy they were as they watched Jack and listened to his angelic voice like he was sending you to bed and fall asleep, it's like a lullaby to my ears. I remain in a standing position and didn't bother to find a seat, in the first place the seats were all occupied. Everyone was so busy and I had no intention of staying here for so long when suddenly Jack turned his gaze to me. I didn't expect him to glance at me. He was a little surprised but smiled unexpectedly to see me.

I also didn’t expect him to recognize me that soon despite the place that was so crowded. I don't know why he even turned his look on me.

I feel like he sings and plays the guitar even better to impress me.

I am so uncomfortable with my position. He's staring at me intensely while singing as if that song was dedicated to me. I feel like I want to bury myself in the ground because of shame. Maybe he thinks that I am following him which is not true

I stepped back slightly to leap. If I have the power to become invisible, I would have done that for me not to get stuck in this place.

It is not my intention but, when I closed my eyes I whisper a wish to get me off this place in an instant and when I opened my eyes I couldn’t believe it. It's like my wish has been granted. I’m no longer in the town plaza and most of all I’m no longer in that place where Jack has been singing a while ago. Here I am now in a garden surrounded by beautiful flowers.

I'm so disturbed.

I don't have any idea what's going on?

Is it just a dream? And how did I get to this place? Did my power work again and I discovered something new in my ability? I know me and my sister are not normal people but, who am I, and what am I?

I was even more confused when I didn't expect to see Shin. Of all places and all people, why is it that Shin is here?

He was lying on the grass while gazing at the sky. He was so busy that he doesn't recognize my presence.

Good for me, for I could watch him freely.

He looks calm and peaceful. I think he loves this place so much. I don’t know which part of the world I landed on? All I know is that the place is so beautiful and if you want to meditate this is the best location for you.

I think he's in very deep thinking.

His right hand is extended and it's like he's reaching for the sky. If only I could read what was on his mind, I would. I want to know what's inside of it so that I can get to know him better. But, I can’t penetrate his brain as if there is a strong blocking force that stopping me so I can’t use my power on him as I do on other people when I want to read their minds.

He looked so vulnerable and I feel that something is bothering him, that's why he's in this place because he wants to be alone.

I was so depleted by the intense thought. I was no longer aware that I was already worried for him.

But when I get back to my senses.

Wait ... what is he doing here and where the hell am I?

I'm so worried and problematic at the same time that I don't know exactly what to do.

How could I get back to our house?

It's late at night and I'm pretty sure that they are looking for me now.

I'm so confused. What can I do to get back to our place? Is there a ride home? What province is this?

Sometimes it's a disaster for me to be reckless.

So much is happening to me right now that is no longer within the scope of my understanding.

How I wish I can find ways to get my way home.

I hope that Shin won't notice me not until I got out from here.
