Chapter 1:
NEW ME | NEW YOU
My alarm rang three times and on the fourth time I woke up and set if off. Each day I turn if off on the third time but today I couldn't until the fourth time for some reason. I didn't knew the course for this phenomena but I had my doubts. About two months and 26 days ago I turned 15 years old.
If I was either 'HUMAN' OR 'RUZXIAINON' I didn't have to care about it at all but since I'm 'HALF-HUMAN HALF RUZXIAINON' I was troubled. That's because After you turn fifteen one of the genes of either species start to overlap with the other and by doing so your body starts to mutate. Since I had dominant human features, the RUZXIAINON features would probably emerge once the overlapping is completed.
"AH... MY DAILY LIFESTYLE!!!" I sighed under my breath as I got up from my bed and walked to the 'FULL BODY 4D SCANNER' and fortunately major changes hadn't occurred today either. I was a little relieved but anxious at the same time too. That's because After a full body outer scan what awaited me was the full body inside scan which was done by the 'IN-SIDER' A machine used to examine cells and matter inside individuals and objects alike. After stepping outside of it reading the results I was relieved again knowing that major changes hadn't occurred inside my body too.
Since major changes hadn't occurred I continued with my usual lifestyle by first getting ready for work. As I was about to have my nutrients by taking some 'SQUASHIES', which are edible liquid bubbles of different flavors and different nutritional values and easy and time saving to consume, my front door opened with a BANG!!!
"GOOOOOD MOOORNINGGGG" ' "ARE YOU READYYYY?" The voice of my friend/neighbor echoed through the room several times but I was unfazed as this is MY NORMAL ROUTINE. "Could you knock before barging in, just once?" I asked, knowing full-well she'd never listen. "Well I have a lock on my front door but who uses those anyway..." I thought to myself as I stood up and got ready to leave. It's not like some unwanted robber or murderer will enter. Even by a slim chance someone like that entered it's not like they can kill you or rob you. Almost all objects sold in SPACEGEON are equipped with a mini teleporter which the owner can use to teleport back to its original position. Even if someone was killed, an individual who has an LIFE-SYSTEM will be revived as long as their agreed life term hasn't ended. And above all, the laws of 'SPACEGEON' make it much scarier to even try those unlawful actions.
We both left my house and took my Hoover-Bike to get to work. We could've used my private teleport capsule in my house or hers to get to work, after all it's difficult to imagine someone without a private teleport capsule in the RESIDENTIAL AREA of SPACEGEON , but we take the Hoover-bike because there are a few stops we needed to make before we get to work. As we both graduated last month in the previous year and joined the company first month the year, we must do some extra errands for the higher ups. I could hear my friend mumbling in an annoyed tone "FOR HOW MUCH MORE MUST WE DO THIS??" As I agreed with her I mumbled under my breath "No matter what changes, this never changes huh!!" As for neither of us had personalities which liked to quietly obey commands but I was okay as long as it didn't interfere with my schedule so it didn't affect me much.
But that day I didn't even remotely imagine my entire schedule or rather my entire life would be turned upside down by a split-second encounter.
As we passed the traffic in the main ground road system, we took the 'OPENAIR-WAY' which is the fourth main road system from underground, which is also the road that we normally use to get to work but by chance that day we had to pick up a parcel on the sixth main road system called 'AIR-VIP' in a small 'AIR-COURIER HUB' about 100 meters before our workplace. As the name suggests it's used by Some very important individuals so we don't use the sixth main road system often. However by paying the fee designated to the 'AIR-VIP' anyone can travel or commute in it. After entering the sixth road system we met a fleet of luxurious black 'AIR-CARS' traveling to the opposite direction of our destination.
At the moment my life started to changed. Five AIR-CARS in the front and five in the back. In the middle A luxurious white 'AIR-LIMOUSINE' traveling as being protected by the air-cars in the front and the back. As we passed the white air-limousine, I saw a girl. I saw her for less than a split-second.
A HUMAN GIRL
AROUND MY AGE
BLUE EYES
GOLDEN HAIR
FAIR COMPLEXION
AND ABOVE ALL.... TEARS IN HER EYES
In the split-second I saw her as I passed her in my hover-bike I realized I was never to see her again. Neither would she. For some reason my hands had stopped the bike. I was confused. My body acted without my command and I didn't know why. I felt strange. My heart raced, and my palms felt clammy as I stared at the girl. My mind couldn’t quite grasp why she affected me this way. A train of thoughts came to my mind at that moment. My friend tried to talk to me but I didn't hear a single word she said. I felt something I haven't felt before so I obviously didn't know what that was. More questions raised inside my head.
WHY DID I STOP?
WHY DID I LOOK BACK?
WHY DO I REMEMBER SOMEONES FEATURES I SAW FOR A SPLIT-SECOND?
WHAT IS THIS THING I'M FEELING?
IS IT AN EMOTION?
IS IT AN ILLNESS?
IS IT FROM MY HUMAN SIDE?
IS IT FROM MY RUZXIAINON SIDE?
AM I UNDERGOING MUTATION?
AM I ILL?
and above everything else,
WHY DID I MAKE A DETOUR FROM MY DAY-TO-DAY LIFE?
Before I knew it I had my hand on my face, Covering my eyes and mouth but underneath my hand I knew exactly what kind of expression was on my face. I was silently laughing. Even though I didn't have answers for my previous doubts and questions, I knew exactly why I was silently laughing.
MY EYES WIDENED
MY MOUTH GRINNING
MY ANTENNAS SHAKING
MY SMALL WINGS FLAPPING
MY TWO TENTACLES DANCING
As I took my hand out of my face I muttered,
"AHH HERE WE GO AGAIN.... MY BAD HABIT HAS EMERGED"
