My house was located at the top floor in the building and it has an open staircase, where you could still see the world outside and also receive it breeze. as I began to climb up I could see the girl down there. are eyes was following me, she was also watching the direction I was going like a hawk. it was somehow unnerving.
just someone looking at you too much is already unnerving, and the girl here is doing more than that. I could go and meet the girl, I could tell are to stop doing what she is doing but I have this feeling that she wouldn’t listen, that she would continue.
well there is nothing to do about it. I understand that I have the face of a male model, my beauty is as divine as the beauty of Adonis. I understand why she is looking at me, if I have a mirror I too would stare at my face for a long time like she is doing.
i ignore the thought of me, I have reached my apartment. my apartment is like all those apartments from all those kdrrama shows, it is inbuilt with password.
Before inputting the password, I took a look around, to check if the girl is near, but she wasn’t near, I looked downstairs from upstairs but I couldn’t see the girl. maybe she had gone home I thought.
when I didn’t see anyone around I input my password, then went inside, I made sure to both the door with some of my added security.
the view of my house is the definition of scanty. no furnitures, no bed, I would sleep on the cold floor today. but thank God I have some bedsheets I could lay on the ground to sleep.
i have an open view of the outside, it was made from glass, it show me the view of the outside, it wasn’t really different from the view from earth. while looking I also ate there.
after eating I laid my bed near the open outside view and then slept, I was so tired that in under 1 minutes I was already asleep. I was a kind of stone and light sleeper. stone sleeper in the sense that when I sleep you would think I am dead. my body doesn’t change direction, and I don’t make any noise while sleeping. a light sleeper in the sense that I would wake up if any foreign noise enter my surroundings, my house would immediately awake. I don’t really know why I am like that. it was my body was input to always be ready to fight or if it is just paranoia or something else.
after some minutes or hour, I don’t know I am still sleepy, I stir awake. I could here a knocking sound coming out from outside my door. I don’t know who could be knocking my door by this time, I have no friends that know my house, and I have no friends so far, I have been trying to survive so I don’t have time for any friendship.
i walked towards my door with extreme caution, I peep through the door hole, i saw the girl I helped outside my door. my mind was confused, what’s she doing here, why is she at my door, what did she want and the million dollars question is how did she know my house?.
i opened my door with caution, ready to fight for my live if the situation arise. I know it was a girl that look 16, but someone can’t be too careful. childrens fought in wars, they carry bombs hold gun, daggers, they kill people without any remorse without any sign of their cute innocence.
As I opened it she stood there in the dim hallway light, her school uniform slightly rumpled now, her white bag clutched to her chest like a shield. Those green eyes still bright, still cat-like were fixed on the floor between us. Her hands were trembling almost imperceptibly.
Neither of us spoke for a long moment.
"What are you doing here, What do you want?" I finally asked, my voice coming out harsher than I intended.
it really wasn’t intended but if someone wakes you up from a beautiful sleep, there would be repercussions.
She didn’t answer. Her jaw moved slightly, like she was chewing on words she couldn’t quite force out.
"If you’re lost," I continued, leaning against the doorframe, "there’s a hero station three blocks down. I can point you in the direction."
"I’m not lost."
"Then what?"
I crossed my arms. "Then what are you doing here?"
She opened her mouth. Closed it. Opened it again.
"I need... a place." The words seemed to cost her something. "Just for tonight. Tomorrow I’ll be gone."
"are you hearing what you are saying, you need a place to stay,and you choose to stay with a stranger, are you alright. and why can’t you stay at your own place. "Friesian said.
"I know that we just met today, but looking at your age you are just 19 years of age, we are not that far apart in age. and I have this feeling that you are not bad.
just 19 years of age, can you buy my age in market, if I can calculate my age from my past live and my new live i believe I am old enough to father her. childrens of this age so disrespectful and I was also in thinking my mind, am I the one she say is not bad, me not bad, my future career as been predetermined, me the future king of villain. how can’t I be that. ignorance is stupidity like I always say, only if she knows.
"so how hold are you, and why would you just trust a feeling, what if I am a rapist or an organ trafficker. "Friesian said.
"I am 15 years old, and if you are a rapist or an organ trafficker then I guess I am wrong, I guess I will be your latest victim for you. that’s a win win situation for you if you are one of that.
"are you really alright, how can you be chilled about that kind of situation, are you sure you are okay. "Friesian said.
he was already thinking about something else. she said she is fifteen years old maybe she is going through that thing teenagers go through. the special sucide thought.
The girl just shrugged like she doesn’t care.
looking at the girl now, I realized that I should have closed the door then. I should have said not my problem, not my business, not my responsibility and don’t even bother with any questions. now I am having a different thought that is different from my actual thought for the girl.
Instead, I sighed the kind of sigh that comes from somewhere deep and tired and stepped aside.
"Come in."
Her head snapped up, suspicion flooding back into her eyes. "Why?"
" I am sure you mean why the change of mind, and my answer is I don’t know," I admitted. "But you have exactly five seconds before I change my mind."
She hesitated. Then, slowly, like a stray cat approaching an outstretched hand, she stepped across the threshold.
I watched her take in my apartment the sparse and almost empty like furniture, the opened curtains, the single lamp casting long shadows across the walls. She dropped her bag, she then went towards my bed area, where the open view of the outside world is in.
i couldn’t read her thought, she looked like she was looking outside and enjoying the view, and she also looked like her mind is not focused on the world outside, that her mind was in another place else.
i couldn’t let her to be sucked in her thinking thought for too long, so I called her and made her focus on me.
i told her to sit, she first looked around whether a chair had suddenly appeared in the room for her to sit on but she didn’t find any, when she looked at me she saw that I was directing to the floor.
as soon as she sat on the floor, our conversation begins. I asked her for her name again, and some other questions but I received no answer.
i had almost forgotten how tight leap this girl is, how tight leap she is since she as been answering some of my questions before.
i then said to her that, if she wants to stay with me for some time being she have to give me something, her name or something else and she can tell me the rest when she feel comfortable along the way. he understands that she wants to be secretive, he have no hate about that, he cannot hate why himself is. I told her if she can’t tell me at least her name then she has to go.
after she looked at my face and saw the seriousness of my face she answered my question.
"my name is Vivian Archimedes, I am 15 years of age with a dead parents and I am homeless. "she said.
as she said her name, something flashed through my eye, "Vivian Archimedes" one of the villain that destroy a close company that works for the hero association, and was then later killed after she went fully crazy when she went on a hero killing spree.
The hero granted with the power of rumor, meaning she get stronger the rumor about are is. if a rumor says she is strong, then she becomes Strong, making the rumor true and also spreading it more and more making her more stronger.
without any of are rumor she is also a very skilled hacker, she can still the money from highland to Africa. she is a very dangerous person.
and now this person is sitting at my front, soon to be my soon to be roommate. I believe this is more than what I sign up for, but I can’t just choose to throw her out because of her future self, now she is still innocent as I can see, I could mold her and use her for my plans.
as soon as I thought that, the thought keep going through my mind over and over, and as the thought keep going through my mind it looks more right, and a smile subconsciously plastered on my face.
The girl sitting at my front so the smile on my face and she suddenly shudder, she feel that she is making a wrong choice, she feels that she should leave.
As she was about leaving she heard a voice from the man.
"where are you going? I accept, you can stay with me, I have been looking for a roommate, the house look so big for me. "I said with a smile.
seeing this Vivian feel the urge to leave more stronger.
"no, I don’t want to be a burden to you, I have decide that leaving on the street would be a more better solution.
"no, you can’t you are a young girl, a young girl as yourself shouldn’t be seen on the street, that kind of lifestyle is not feasible for you. "I said with a smile I am trying to restrain.
"how do you know what is feasible for me and what’s not ummm. "she said with a scowl on her face.
"I assure you that life ain’t feasible for you, you can trust me on that. "I said.
she looked at me closely and just choose to sit down back, but she didn’t back down.
after some back and front between two of us an agreement was later settled in. and the end result is I have a roommate.
a roommate who will later become someone that will be very close to me in my normal and villain live. someone who will have my back and I will also have her back.
