Imaginary feelings were suppose to stay hidden, Love was suppose to stay buried. It burns out the dominant monstrous feelings, and cling onto the slight humanity hidden in the shadow.

Love is a fearsome feeling that has made a hero trampled- a warrior conquered- an eloquent shivered- Achilles killed. That feeling called love comes with nothing but disaster- and cries from the weak. Love isn't an awesome feeling, it is sadness in disguise.

Lex was renaissancing in the feeling he thought was the best of it all. Drowning in his one sided love- flying high with imaginations that she was soon going to be his. That was all Love have installed- Nothing but thought upon thought!

Lex trailed the path that led straight to the stadium. He knew Heather would be there- sitting patiently and watching her boyfriend jag and burn out some calories... But Lex could sense some emptiness in her. She had changed this past one week- it was like she was putting up a charade. Pretending to be in love for some reason. Lex just didn't understand what was happening, but he could sense it- that something was wrong.

As he drifted unnoticed towards the stadium, he just couldn't help it but listen to some strange voices that waves past his ear. The voice was so familiar- a male and a female. The familiarity of the voice and the party involved had caught his attention.

Instantly he moved towards where the signal was coming from. He was just so invisible; like a ghost- cornering the stadium and moving towards the forest behind the stadium.

Disturbing sound began to burst out from somewhere in the forest. Lex listened carefully from where he was standing- it was the sound of a girl.... Moaning for pleasure. Chanting a name inaudibly... Screaming in satisfaction.

"Shk.... Tsh...... She is waiting-" the ladies voice came amidst pleasure "stop it- will you!"

Lex wondered who was waiting- but the familiarity in the male voice was what caught his attention the most. Instantly something prompt up into his mind- this was the opportunity he had been waiting for... A Golden opportunity! And he wasn't ready to slack.

So he jumped out of the forest looking for something to capture the scene- cause that will be an evidence to hold unto. Suddenly he saw a chubby teenager with an headset covering his ears and a smartphone in his hand.


Instantly, Lex drifted towards the chubby guy unnoticed. Circling him like a tornado- cooing into his ears like a ghost... Well, a vampire is a living dead!

Lex took the smartphone from him in a seconds and head back to the forest. He captured the scene of a broken heart- the scene of a boyfriend with a best friend making out in the woods. He head back to the stadium to see Heather- who was apparently still waiting for her boyfriend to come out of the dressing room.

"Hi" Lex appeared to her from behind, thereby startling her.

"Oh... Shit! You scared the hell out of me" she screamed "there was nobody behind me when I settled in"

"Oh! There was really no one behind you-" Lex said, but the look on her face shows that she demands an explanation.

"-I was joking....." He fit in instantly. Lex doesn't have an explanation for appearing from behind her- he was just too lazy to go through the front... So he flew like a bat and appeared from behind.

"...but why are you seated alone? What about your friend?" Lex said, settling in beside her.

"Suzy said she has something to pick in class- while Rory is probably having a chat with the coach in the locker room"

Lex saw that she was so unsure- but he wasn't sure whether it would be right to show her the true colour of the people surrounding her. Lex wasn't ready to break her heart- he wasn't ready to watch her weep.

"Ain't that the coach on a phone call?" Lex pointed to a man wearing a tracksuit standing some kilometres away.

Heather strain her eyes to get the perfect picture of the man standing so far away.

"Yea- I think that is the coach... So where the hell is Rory?"

Lex suddenly realize this is the perfect time to show her the evidence- to let her know that she has been a fool all along.

"-speaking of Rory! Do you love him?" Lex inserted quickly.

Heather jerked at the question- it was like she hasn't expected it. She suddenly became so uncomfortable and her body movement said it all. She wasn't happy in the relationship- Lex could hear her heart bleeding. It was like the whole relationship is a charade.

"Something in me can't just stop pounding so hard. I guess that is my heart- pounding like it won't stop- hitting me so hard and making me uncomfortable when I see you-" Lex was ready to confess his feelings for her. He wasn't ready to hide it anymore- he just couldn't take it!
"I have a confession" he added

Heather heart doubled it race. It was like she already knew what Lex wanted to say. Her feelings were ranging and Lex didn't understand what her response would be.... So he decided to thread slowly.

"I....I...." Lex began, stammering. And Heather heart had began to triple it race again.
".... I don't play gridiron, I lied to you"

Heather heaved instantly. Her racing heart began to slow down gradually and it returned to its normal and steady flow. Lex could see signs of relief on her face- but he wasn't so sure whether the signs were relief or otherwise.

"I knew it! I know you don't play gridiron- but why did you have to lie about it?" Heather asked

"-cause that is the only way I can see you everyday" Lex said, sharply and Heather was so dumbfounded- She hadn't expected that kind of reply.
"I like you Heather.... I can't hide the feelings anymore-"

Heather sat still- she was just so short of words. She wasn't sure what she needed right now but a new boyfriend was definitely not part of it. Lex confession was great- but she has her battle to fight- A lot of challenges to overcome.

So Heather wasn't sure of the response to give Lex. She was now getting so fond of his presence and wasn't ready to lose a friend but she doesn't know what to say.

"So sorry for keeping you waiting... Hope you ain't bored?" Suzy asked, appearing so dishevelled.

"Nah, Lex covered every loophole" Heather replied "- but why are dry leaves hanging on your hair?" Heather observed her appearance which was kinda different from earlier.

"Oh! Leaves!" Suzy said, brushing her hair with her hands to remove the leaves. "The wind must have blew it there"

Lex smiled. He just doesn't like backbiting- toiling with a friend feelings- cheating with a friend boyfriend. Lex suddenly sighted Rory running towards his teammates.

"Crazy bastard" he murmured to himself

Suddenly a voice erupt from the field. It was Fergus, the chubby teenage Lex had stolen his phone. He began to create a scene-

"Hear my fellow students! The saviour is real- he just appeared to me. He took my phone and whispered some murmuring to my ears. Repent your ways- For the second coming of Christ is on the way-"

Lex tries his possible best to control the laughter that erupt in him. 'The second coming of Christ???'. Lex now see reason why they have been warned from using their powers. It makes the humans feel disturbed- making them a psychic- making them lose their mind.

"That guy is just so insane" Suzy said.

Heather tries to steal a glance but to her surprise, her eyes met with Lex's. He had been staring at her and awaiting a positive reply from her. So for now, guess they were still friends... But he wanted more- he quench for more her... He wants to be her lover!

So Lex brought out the phone which had been in his pocket all this while- He then delete the video he recorded. There are thousand ways to get a girl but orchestrating her breakup just because he was interested in her wasn't a way he would consider any longer. So Lex was ready to wait patiently for her to see the truth and make her own decision.
