“Hey good morning! Won’t you go to school? You are running late Harley.”, Granny said slightly tapping her and she slowly opened her eyes.
She looked around puzzled, something was different and she just couldn’t understand her environment.
“Did I have a dream of something I can’t remember?”, She questioned herself.
“You don’t plan on missing the way and running all the way to school right?”, Granny said and Harley jumped off the bed seeing the time.
Harley quickly rushed to school and her friends went her at the gate.
“Hey you are early today, that’s a surprise.”, One said.
“Hey your necklace is nice, where did you get this?”, The other one with a long hair asked.
“Who else, if not Brian? Wow he is so romantic, I wish I have a boyfriend like him.”, The first one said.
“Didn’t we break up already? Or are we till dating?”, Harley asked preplexed.
She just can’t understand what was going on, she looked at the necklace and wondered how it got to her.
“What? You and Brian? What would possibly lead to your break-up? Everyone knows how much you like Brian.”
“Are you guys having issues? You know — you don’t always have to break up before you resolve it.”, They said.
“Isn’t something wrong? Why does it feel like I have been away and yet my friends aren’t acting like they are seeing me after a long time.”
“Maybe I really had a long dream of going somewhere.”, She concluded and they headed to class.

Harley was leaving to the library when she met a new face on her way.
“He must be a new student.”, she thought.
“Excuse me!”, She said as she walked pass him but he held her hand and she felt something different.
She quickly jerked her hands away and looked at him in a puzzled way.
“Hailey!”, He called and she looked at him more puzzled.
“It’s Harley, how did you even know my name? Are you a stalker? Didn’t you just transfer into this school and you are already fooling around?”, She said and he hugged her.
And again, she felt something different like a … Spark or something.
“What are you doing? I have a boyfriend, so I will advice you to let me go now.”, She said struggling to pull out of the hug but he wasn’t ready to pull out.
“Hailey …”
“I am not Hailey, it’s Harley.”, She said.
“Hey let’s go of my girlfriend!”, Brian appeared and quickly punched the guy on his face.
“You are a new student here and you are already messing around with my girlfriend, stay off her lane and you will survive in this school.”, Brian said and pulled Harley along.
Cyrus changed himself back to his normal self.
“She really doesn’t remember anything.”, He said and sighed.
After sometime, he teleported out.

Cyrus changed himself to another different person again.
“What should I say to him? Should I ….!”, He was still deciding when the door opened.
“Are you here to see my brother?”, The little asked and Cyrus nodded and she urged him to enter.
“You are handsome.”, She said and Cyrus tried not to look shocked.
“Really? No one ever told me that.”, He said and she shrugged.
“Maybe you were ugly before.”, She said and Cyrus’ eyes widened.
Did she just insult me or was that a compliment?
“Alex someone is here to see you.”, She said shouting.
“You don’t have to shout, I am coming.”, He shouted back.
“Alex?”, He called seeing Alex so well and healthy.
He managed not to let the tear in his eyes drop.
“Son! You are Alex’s friend, aren’t you?”, His mom asked and Cyrus nodded.
“We are friends?”, Alex asked thinking.
“Alex has never have a handsome friend, he has always moved with ugly people since they are his kind.”, The girl said and Alex hit her head and Cyrus chuckled.
“So are you calling me ugly?”, He asked and she shrugged.
“Mom alex is bullying me again, I didn’t even call him ugly.”, She said as she faked tears.
“Son I have never seen you here before, do you live near?”, Alex’s mom asked facing Cyrus.
“Hmm… I’m actually one of his old classmates, I just wanted to see him.”, He lied.
“Oh that’s probably why I can’t recognize you, thank you for coming to check up on me.”, Alex said with a smile.
“This is the first time I am seeing him smile like this.”, Cyrus said inwardly.
“I have to go now.”, He said standing up.
“Alex your face makes him uncomfortable, you should try to become less ugly.”, The girl said and Alex glared at her and Cyrus chuckled at their little fight.
“Son stay a bit, you can have breakfast with us. You don’t have to feel uncomfortable with us, since you are my son’s friend, you are also my son.”, Alex’s mom said and Cyrus became at ease.
The son that she was calling him was making him very happy.
“Just stay please…”, The girl pouted.
“You don’t have to be shy dude, eat with us.”, Alex said as he hit his shoulder and Cyrus eyes widened at his gut.
“Dude? Did he just disrespect me by touching my shoulder? You are definitely serving punishment when you recover your memory.”, he thought.
“Alex don’t touch him, who knows, he might suddenly become ugly like you.”, She said and Alex just chased her around.
“Don’t mind them, they are like that. Come and sit.”, Alex’s mom said and Cyrus followed her.
