The Zetta Sonic
Talk

The location of the campground rented by the school has an incredible view. Small lakes and clear rivers, velvet grass, surrounded by mountains and hills. Each group began to set up their own tents. Those who are finished can take care of other things like fishing or joining to set up a campfire.

Meanwhile, the group leaders were called in turns by the instructor aka Tiger into an open tent. This big tent is for teachers. They can hold meetings there or just dinner using a table and comfortable chairs. Meanwhile, for reasons of togetherness, their students will use wooden logs. Tiger actually prefers wooden spindles. Unfortunately, he did not choose.

He also did not know why he had to distribute the lightsticks to the students there. The only information he received was that it would later be used during the night of the campfire. As per the rumors, the school has invited real singers to fill out the event. A newcomer singer, has been awarded several times, beautiful, famous for his golden voice and skill playing guitar. Her stage name is Honey Lemon.

“Wow! Our school really deserves a thumbs up this time!” Willy was so excited. “Honey Lemon will sing in front of us. Though as far as I know he is busy being invited to concerts in various places.”

“If it's not wrong, he's a Wood Peak alumnus, right?” reply Alex.

“Oh, yes? Just deserve. Said he'd turned down the mayor's invitation this week.” Willy then nudged Alex's arm. “Eh, you brought a portable game console, ‘right? After lunch, play yuk. There is free time until three.”

“Eh, I have an appointment.”

“With Leta?” guess Willy while raising both eyebrows.

“Leta and her friends. They want to go around, take photos. Usual. Make uploaded on social media so, lha.” Alex could not help but smile on his face. Every time he spent with the girl was so sweet.

“Then, strengthen your legs.”

“Legs? Not heart?”

“Taking photos of girls can take a lot more time than you think.”

Alex knows Willy's right. But his best friend has nothing to worry about. Alex has more power even if he doesn't want to use it. Not here, not in front of his friends. It is better to keep the identity of Tiger and Zetta Sonic below the surface. In light of that, Alex also texted Jayden to check out Honey Lemon's profile.

He had read additional data provided Jayden in Zet-Arm. Alex doesn't want to be prejudiced. He also hoped that his estimate was wrong. There is no denying that Honey Lemon falls into the category like the other girls who disappeared. Young, pretty, even invited to an event at the town hall this weekend.

“Alex?” Leta brought her face closer. “Why is it silent?”

Alex flinched, not daring to move, as he realized that his face was heating up. Leta's face is now only a fraction of his own. He did not dare to move his face away because he was enjoying the girl's face up close. Of course, he also did not dare to bring his face closer. Alex just shook his head.

“Anemia?” One of Leta's friends came closer.

“Neg. I don't have anemia.” Alex is finally able to answer after Leta takes her eyes off her face. “I don't even know why the doctor can say I'm anemic.” Alex smiled to himself.

Leta's friend moves into the lake, joining two other friends.

Alex can lie easily. It's not an invitation to university. The invitation was real, he had even been waiting for it for a long time. The exhibition is about technology created by final students. This is also not the first time Alex has represented his father.

“Invitation for two,” Alex continued. “Exhibition finish, there is a small celebration. Some kind of dinner party. Interested?”

“You're taking me?” Leta smiled sweetly, making Alex unable to blink. “What is Altaur University exhibition?”

“You can also invite.” Alex guessed it easily.

Leta smiled amusedly. “Actually no. My father got an invitation there. He was asked to perform some songs. Then he told me to come along. Have dinner. A little dancing, maybe. I've never been to such an event.”

“That's great!” suhut Alex fast. “At least I'll have friends there.”

“This is not the first time you have been invited to this kind of event, ‘kan?”

“Couple sure also not to be the last.” Alex hopes he doesn't have to move fast. He enjoyed the breath of fresh air that could not be obtained in the city. More than that, he enjoyed his conversation with Leta both.

“Your father rarely goes home. I wonder if you will be that busy later. You will definitely inherit all his companies.”

Alex just smiled, not knowing what to react to. At least, right now he knows that his father doesn't own the company. He also knew clearly there was no need to inherit any company from his father. Usually when someone talks about his father, Alex feels curiosity in his father increases. For some reason, now it seems like the curiosity is changing into a sense of annoyance.

“How about you?” Alex asked back. “You will sing around the world?”

Leta put her shoulders down. “That was my parents' second dream. I don't really know what I want. Singing is fun. Going around the world sounds good too. I just don't know if that's what I want.”

“They didn't force you to be an artist?”

“Forcing? No. gabe. Advocate? Might as well. That's their world.”

They're silent for a moment. Alex realized that he was now looking down. His eyes observed how his shoes traveled down the fine grass as his mind wandered far away. She doesn't recognize her parents like Leta. He didn't know his father's world until a while ago.

“Alex,” Leta called him again. “If you could plead to a shooting star who would grant any wish, what would you ask for?”

Leta's question makes Alex gawk.

Realizing this, Leta blushed in embarrassment and laughed to herself. “If I were, I would definitely ask that I could eat anything without getting fat.” Leta's speech sounds like a lie in Alex's ear. “Forget my question. Yuk, the others are waiting.”

In front of them, their friends had already taken pictures. Leta ran a little closer. Alex walked slowly letting Leta's questions roll in his sakk. To be honest, he had a lot of desire to be pinned down on a shooting star. One of them is so that their bonfire night event runs smoothly and safely.

Alex just got a short message from Jayden under the ambiguous title: Be careful.
