CHAPTER 2
“Hey, look at Luke! Ha, he’s such a loser,” some kids around him said. It hit Luke’s nerves but he just sped up his walk.
“Yeah, he doesn’t have a father so his mom must be a slut,” another kid said. Hearing that, he immediately spun around in anger.
“YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS TO TALK ABOUT MY MOM LIKE THAT!” Luke pounced onto the kid who said that and punched them hard in the guts. The kid fell down to the ground but he kept punching him.
One punch, for talking shits about my mom.
Two punches, for talking shits behind my back everyday.
Three punches, four punches, five punches…
Luke heard people yelling for help and screaming around him, but he didn’t stop. The rage inside him only rising after each punch.
“Oh God, someone stop him!” “He’s a demon!” He heard people said, but it didn’t matter to him.
In the end, three male adults had to drag a 8th grade student off another dying student. When Luke accidentally looked himself in a reflection, he saw himself red skinned, with horns like a devil on his head.

Luke sat up abruptly, panting hard. He didn’t expect to still get dreams or nightmares about the first time he knew about his special. He can't believe it's already been 3 years since the time when his life and view of the world changed. He was brought to this school of specials since 8th grade to learn to control his powers of a devil. Well, everyone here in this school came to learn to control their powers and receive education without disturbance. It’s a secret organization that is unrecognized by the whole world, and they could somehow find new specials of all ages to this school every year from all around the world. Luke was one of them.
A lot of researchers were finding out how these people had special, abnormal powers, inside them, but it was futile. Some said it was a blessing of the gods, while some said it’s a gene passed down by some minor race. While to Luke, he personally only wanted to know who his father is because he’s definitely sure his mother is 100% normal.
Luke didn’t like his special, which makes him look like a demon from hell with red skin and horns on his head whenever he gets extremely angry. It scared many people and he hurt a lot of people with the brutal force that came with the power. He’s glad that it’s a taboo in this school to ask about what special you are or have, because it would be a problem to explain to someone how you become a red-not muscular-devil horned-hulk.
Luke looked around his room, Delirious is nowhere to be found and Ohm is still snoring softly on his bed. Looking at Ohm’s adorable sleeping face, he was reminded of yesterday. What the actual fuck happened between them?! Yea, ohm is cute and all but he wouldn’t just simply advance on someone just like that! They only met for little over an hour and he tried to kiss him? He doesn't even know if Ohm swing that way.
Ohm stirred in his sleep, which distracted his thoughts. He saw ohm’s cloth that covers his eyes flew to the ground and went to pick it up.
Holding the grey cloth in his hands, he saw that it was just a normal cloth with an ohm symbol. When He tried to put it on himself, a voice stopped him.
“Hey! What are you doing with that?” He turned around to see Ohm sitting up on the bed, looking angered. The problem was, Luke looked him in the eyes again. Even with murder in his eyes it still looked beautiful, and he went into some kind of trance similar to yesterday, unable to look away.
The trance was broken when Ohm immediately snatched the cloth away from his hands and put them back on, seemingly uncomfortable with the situation.
“Sorry...I’m just...I'm just gonna leave now. Thank you for your generosity, i will return the clothes after it’s cleaned, bye,” with that, Ohm just left the room without waiting for Luke to say anything. What about the spiders? He thought, but didn't get the chance to say it out loud.
He thought about yesterday again. Maybe he should apologize to him later. Ohm did seemed uncomfortable after the moment, and it was Luke’s fault at least, he thought.
Also, it made Luke even more curious why Ohm had to cover up his eyes with the cloth, and why is he so angry when Luke was only holding it around. After yesterday he knows that Ohm could clearly see through it somehow and he couldn’t wrap his head around any idea why Ohm would need the cloth. Covering up eyes as beautiful as his was quite the shame. Maybe he could ask him about that later too.
A familiar sound of an alarm from his phone rang through the room. Shit. Luke rushed to get things ready and head to class. It would be a huge punishment if he was late on the first day of the school year.
