Alec stared at the dark screen of his phone like it had personally betrayed him.

“Xander,” He called slowly.

Beep.

Alec sighed. "You know what's going on at the moment, right?"

Long beep. "Right." Xander's calm voice sounded in his head.

Alec pressed a hand over his forehead. "I just want you to talk to me about it."

"1. Heart rate is elevated.

2. Anger and worry are clear in voice

3. Emotional distress confirmed."

"The hell?...." Alec slammed his palm over his forehead. "I am not talking

    The principal's office.It hasn't changed, cause it doesn't. Not like Alec had expected the change but maybe a tiny part of him wanted to see something a little different. Now, he just didn't see anything to mark out. It was still the same polished large desk, framed certificates no one reads, a flag standing proudly in the corner like it paid rent and a well dressed man behind the desk who had mastered the art of pretending to care. Principal Jenkins didn't look up immediately. Alec knew that was intentional. Jenkins let the silence sit in a way that was heavy and deliberate, like he believed it added authority.Jeremy leaned slightly toward Alec. "He's doing the dramatic pause thing.""I can see that" Alec murmured."Should I cough?""Don"t."Jeremy coughed anyway.Jenkins looked up slowly and it didn't take long for Alec see it. He had seen it many times before and he was seeing it again. The look.The kind of look that scanned clothes, it scanned posture, even confidence… and th

  • 140... Twist of plot...

    The walk to the principal's office felt longer than expected, not only because of the distance but because of the tension.Suddenly, a translucent flicker crossed Alec's vision for a split second, then the next second he was seeing the holographic screen in front of him, clear and real. [Mission Title]Bully Eradication[Mission Status]Task: OngoingAlec breathed quietly. "Seriously, Xander?" His side eye moved to Jeremy. He guy was looking like he was on an excursion. Alec shook his head subtly. "Xander, in the middle of this?""Yes." Xander replied with its cold, precise tone. "I am designed to monitor mission progress and issue reminders when irregular pauses in activity are detected," Xander explained. "However, such reminders are conditional. They are not applied uniformly across all missions, as parameters vary depending on urgency, time structure, and operational nature.""And this?" Alec mumbled. His lips barely parted."This mission is classified as urgent, though it opera

  • 139...They brought weapons...

    The bell rang and that was all it took for the energy all around the school environment to shift. The students began their chaotic attitudes, the noise spreading everywhere. However Alec was quiet, walking like he had nowhere important to be, his expressionless face fixed on no one in particular. Jeremy didn't have the same level of calmness like Alec and that was just clear as he strolled together with Alec. "You got front row tickets to a show?" Alec asked, a faint smirk on his face. "Cause you're walking like someone who's got one.""At least that's better than walking like someone who's got no tickets to a show." Jeremy fired back, wearing a simper.Alec chortled. "That's a bad comeback"With that, they rounded the side of the science block, noticing how the drastically noise reduced, replaced by something deliberately quiet. Alec looked to his side and it didn't take long for him to see them. Kurt leaned against the wall, his arms crossed, his evil smirk right on his face. "

  • 138...Not highschool anymore...

    Jeremy tapped his pen on the table, his mouth twisted as he watched the teacher explain away.Alec passed him an irritated look. "Can you stop doing that?" "Doing what?" Jeremy asked innocently.Alec glanced down at the pen he was holding. "That." He said firmly. "That beating of desk thing. It's annoying. I can't even think properly""Well it's helping me think properly" Alec gave him a look. "You're not normal, I swear""You're not normal either" Jeremy insulted back without hesitation. "No one in this class is normal""I am normal" Alec retorted. "No one is normal in this classroom, Alec" Jeremy insisted. Alec slightly raised his brows. "Including the teacher?" "Especially the teacher"A smile appeared on Alec's face. Jeremy wasn't looking his way anymore. He began tapping his pen again. Alec dropped his smile and wore a scowl. Jeremy did not see that, he tapped the pen again. "Jeremy" Alec rasped his name and that was when he stopped. He leaned slightly towards Alec."Cha

    Alec walked alongside Heidi, wearing a smile as they headed toward the car. The image of a girl's face kept replaying in his mind as he moved in silence."The girl is beautiful" He whispered to no one in particular. Heidi rolled her eyes and got into the backseat, folding her arms across her full chest. Alec got into the car as well, taking the passenger seat."You know I feel like things are just getting more interesting every minute" Jeremy commented with a grin. "First you get to beat up that Milo guy—""That's no big deal" Alec said casually."What?" Jeremy snapped his face to him. "It is a big deal! You beat up Milo, as in The Bad Guy Milo, and then his girlfriend starts having a big ass crush on you? Maaaaannn..." Jeremy started the car. "That shit is great. I gotta tell you, bro"Alec remembered when Kara had yelled at Milo that she was not his girlfriend. She had clearly mentioned that they broke up. "Kara is not his girlfriend" Alec told his friends. Jeremy turned his head

    Alec's voice was low, his lips barely moving as he called:"Xander?" Alec was aware of his environment but he needed to be certain about somethings first, especially since he knew how hard the system usually gets when it comes to punishments. "I tried my best, didn't I?" He muttered in a breath as he adjusted his jacket with ease, his back turned to the crowd. "I didn't kill the boys."Beep."Affirmative, Alec."Alec exhaled gently. Xander went on. "Lethal force was withheld. Your response remained within acceptable operational parameters."Alec tilted his head. "Acceptable, huh? You know that's a very polite way of saying I almost folded him in half.""Correction," Xander replied calmly. "Based on applied force and trajectory, probability of spinal compromise was 63%. You adjusted at the final moment.""See?" Alec clicked his tongue lightly. "That's growth right there"There was a faint pause then another beep."You are improving. Emotional regulation: enhanced.
