Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 373 - I've met
...***...
Rei, Elvina and William step off the bus they were riding.
The three of them stepped down the sidewalk so they could arrive at the library they were about to visit.
"I want to read the books I've been wanting to read all along" muttered Elvina who was walking with Rei and William.
"I want to find action books." William retaliated.
"I'm gonna go find a fantasy book." Rei added as he continued to step up.
Rei's steps came to a halt when his two eyes accidentally caught two figures that looked familiar to him.
"Why did you stop?" William turned his head when he realized Rei had stopped.
Elvina turned to the direction Rei was looking at and found a pair of teenagers standing in front of the library door. Both are talking.
Elvina squinted, somehow Elvina felt that she had seen them both.
Who're they? Why do I feel like I've met them before, but where? inner Elvina.
"Do you know them?" william's question represented Elvina's feelings.
"They were my two classmates. His names are Melinda and Andrich" Rei said.
"Melinda? Andrich?" repeated Elvina with a surprised face. Rei nodded his head in response.
"Why are you so surprised, have you ever met them? You know them?" ask William.
Before long, they saw Melinda and Andrich leaving without ever realizing that Rei, Elvina and William had just arrived.

"Els! Why are you daydreaming?" William shook his brother's shoulders as the woman daydreamed instead.
"What are you thinking?" ask Rei to her.
"I'm still thinking about those two people" he replied.
"Melinda and Andrich? What the hell are you thinking? Do you really know them?" William can't stem his curiosity.
"I just remembered that I had met them before" he said.
"Where have you met Melinda and Andrich?" Rei closed the book he was reading when Elvina showed a serious look.
"They're not ordinary people. They're evolvers, just like us."
"really? How'd you know that?"
"I remember very well their faces that felt familiar to me, because when they caught me one year ago, the professor took me to his laboratory, and I saw the two of them in the tube were going through their incubation period" Elvina explained.
"Andrich and Melinda?"
"Yes, and it looks like they're on the professor's side. You better be careful that they're really in class with you, because they could be assigned to arrest you just like Joe was assigned to arrest me and William."
"It would be terrible if the professor actually sent people to arrest you as well as Rei, which means they're trying to figure out if you're really an evolver like us or not, or maybe they're trying to get you to the same chip installation as me and El" William commented.
Rei was speechless trying to digest every utterance of Elvina and William who asked him to be careful in dealing with Melinda and Andrich.
"Alright, I'll be more careful with them" Rei said.
"Rey!" call a girl who instantly grabs the attention of the three of them.
"Lussia? Gloria?" Rei got up from his seat when he realized the girl was there. "What are you doing here?"
"We just finished shopping and stopped by for a while to borrow a book."
