Choice of Life

Lucas P.O.V.

"No!! I will never do anything you want me to do Dad!"

I run out of the house without turnıng back as my Dad screams non stops behind me, "You come back here young Man, right now." I could still hear his voice faintly as I ride my bicycle towards my school.

It's kind of an everyday routine now, My man has been telling me to work on my powers cause I'm at the age now? Or something *chuckles*

I reach my destination, yet this place is my least favorite place to be. Well not because I hate studying or anything. Sometimes it's too much to handle but you know you have to go through like a normal person. Isn't it?

As I park my bicycle I hear Maria's voice, "Hey dummy..!" I ignore her for a sec coz I wanted to irritate her. And it worked.

"Hello there!! Where on earth were you last night? I tried to call yet you didn't pick up. Again" She comes running at me well yeah she is angry but she is cute at times like this.

Well she is my bestfriend, and who doesn't like to irritate your bff a little.

"I'm sorry; I totally forgot to reply. It's just that it's been a week that I'm having this nightmare. I can't get my mind wrapped on it, it looks real everytime."

"Well you can tell your Dad about it. Maybe he knows something about it." She looks at me with the concerning eyes again.

"No, let's just keep it that way for now."

"Okay, whatever you say dummy" I nod at her and we walk past our playground. As I'm about to reach the doors I get hit by something. "Ouch, WTF..!!" Oh it's a football, that means....

"Yo, dude we are soo sorry, I guess it didn't hit your head too hard or anything right?" I look up to see who threw the damn ball at me even though knowing who he was. I can recognise that voice.

"Oh, hey Spencer! N..N..Not at all." He is the one who has been bullying me from childhood, It's like its his mission for life to annoy and hurt me. What an asshole.

"Cool NERD!!" He laughs and knuckles my head and walks away. "What an asshole and why don't you stand up for yourself? And not let him bully you."

"Have you not seen thus guy?? His double my size. He can take me down with his powers. Or not."

"But for how much long? You have to use your powers okay, or you might get in serious trouble and even I won't be a help. Then what are you gonna do? Just take the blows?"

"I don't know, okay It's just I never chose this life for me It's not I ever wanted. I just want to live a normal life. Is it a lot I'm asking for? And please let's not start again, you know how that ends."

She stops and turn around so that we are face to face. "You can always change Lucas, I know one day you will come around for sure. You too are strong, its just that you don't want to use your magical powers. But one day you will find a reason to use it."

"Never gonna happen." Looking down I walk past her, leaving her to the corridors, could feel I might burst out.

But... 'One day you will find a reason to use it.'

I can't stop thinking about what she said earlier, kept on repeating untill the last bell rings. *Sigh*

'Will I ever change?'

'And what if I turn to be an evil one?'

The thoughts comes flooding in as I ride my bike back home.

Maria's P.O.V.

"One day you will find a reason to use it." I said as he snapped in frustration, "Never gonna happen." And left me alone, yet I could sense his frustration. Well saw that coming.

I see him walk inside the class, "When will you understand, idiot. You can be strong too. If only you could see what I see." I say to myself as I enter my class.

I hear the last bell ring and I rush out to catch him so we could walk home together.

"Oh dear, Lucas left the class just a minute ago, he looked distracted though, I mean the whole time." Said Prof. Hault our students council professor. "Thank you sir." I smiled and left.

I started messaging him on the way,

Me: "Why didn't you wait up? I coming near the parking lot wait for me."

Lucas: "I need to be alone rn. Talk later."

Did I crossed the line again or something? This happens everytime when we talk about it.

Me: "Okay fine. See you tomorrow then. You know I'll be here for you right? Anyways take care."

This guy is my bestfriend yet I too can't understand him sometimes.

'Why is he so difficult to understand?' I thought to myself while I stare at the night sky.

"The sky feels empty today." I say as I watch the whole neighborhood sleep silently.

Lucas P.O.V.

I knew I pissed her off, she hates when I do it.

Me: "I need to be alone rn. Talk later."

Maria: "Okay fine. See you tomorrow then. You know I'll be here for you right? Anyways take care."

Yes she cares about me, but sometimes I need to be alone to think.

I reached home and plop on my bed as I take a nap.

"Lucas, come down here let's have dinner." My dad shouts out from downstairs. I think I should get ready for the scolding for what happened this morning. *Sighs*

"Hmmm, smells good." I nervously smile as I see dad arranging the table. He didn't say anything, wow, a silent treatment then.

After having dinner, washed the dishes and as I walk through the stairs, "Wait son." I hear him say and I look at him. "You know I want you to be safe out there right! You are no kid anymore, you have to develop your powers so that you can protect yourself from the dangers out there."

I could feel his concern, yet I snap "And you obviously know that I always want to be normal, not a supernatural being."

"I know, I was once like you son. But we have to be responsible for the powers we have within us. I know this is not what you wanted your life to be. I won't force you but whenever you are ready I'm here. I'm always here for you." He smiled and went back to the kitchen.

I lay on bed as I recall what Maria and Dad said to me. Maybe they are right. Maybe its time. The thoughts just clouds in my head as I fall asleep.
