Story of The Chosen One

"Ha. . . Nothing feels better than watching TV with ramen"

I said calmly to myself while watch the news about how Farah got praise for stopping the robbery that makes her popularity increases.

"Finally, back to normal NPC life. . . "

I leaned my head on the couch calmly, before my brain decided to do a little flashback

"The fuck you mean why? You our friend, so we always worried about you! "

"Yeah! And you also help us to release our full potential right? So we always indebted on you about it."

". . . What a bunch of dorks" I said to myself softly after having flashback about that in my own deadpan tone

". . . Guess my life isn't that bad after all. . . "

The news then change into an interview with 'The prodigy mage' who had just create spell to counter time stop spell

"So now we with miss Suraya, one of the geniuses from one of our arcane universities in this country"

She didn't do much as she just smiling beautifully like Sakura flowers whose petal once a year while wave her hand

"So, miss Suraya, how does this high spell can even be invented and casted?"

"Well, for starters, I account on time relativity theories itself. . . "

Huff. . . Genius as ever, at least she still call me at phone in the most inconvenient time

Well, there she is, another genius childhood friend I had. If we follow by birth date, she should be at least 2 months younger than me

I still remember when we were little I was the one who approached her since she's socially awkward.

She's the smartest between us but sometimes I help her being creative with spells. Although most of the time our moments was. . .

10 years ago

The weather that day was nice, it should had being a day where I can just sleep and try to buried those bad memories in my head.

". . . Huff, let me just sleep for a while. . . I need some energy to visit my parents grave later. . . " I said softly before my eyes fluttered rapidly

Knock knock

That's when my eyes jolted open before I lifted my head and looked over at the door

Huh. . . Only two times? Guess it just rando-

"Hey Dani"

That's when I instantly turn my head to other side of the bed and saw her looked over me with her soft smile

"Judge my spell please? " She tilted her head while still smiling, like illegally enter my house was normal

". . . Suraya, I told you to not just get into my house without permission right? "

"Eh? But I did knock didn't I? " She said softly while her expression is slightly surprised

She looked like the information of breaking into someone house are illegal is new to her

"You seriously didn't know that this should had being illegal? "

"I-. . . Erm. . . I thought I just need to knock the door. . ."

". . . Huff, then you just teleport yourself into my house? "

"Yeah. . . Erm, sorry if I-"

"It's fine, you're a socially awkward person, of course you don't know anything about social skills "

"H-Hey, that's harsh! "

"Just don't break into anyone house like this"

". . . Sorry"

I looked at her calmly, before try to cheer her up

". . . So, what kind of spell you want me to judge this time? "

Her face instantly lit up before spoke to me with cheerful tone

"Ah! I actually want you to judge this spell. . ."

And for the next few hours, she would cast various of spells that she either improvised or make on her own, not enough to destroy my house, just for performance

I looked at her who's currently improvised her gravity magic, before she looked back at my eyes and ask softly

"Dani, is there something you want to ask? "

". . . How did you know? "

"Uhh, we being friend for almost 3 months now, of course I notice your intent easily "

". . . So you can sense my intention but can't even say 'anyone home? ' before breaking in? "

"Dani! Can we get that over with please?!"

". . . Hey, Suraya, how about you invent a spell to keep both sides of pillow hot? "

She looked at me like I just said that there's a bomb in this house

". . . Where did you get this ideas from, Dani? " She asked me dumbfounded of my idea

"In dreams, some of it also comes when I take a shit at the toilet. "

"Hah?! Dani, I told you to not take your ideas from toilet right?! That's where most of unhinged idea comes from"

"Nah, it just creativity. . . Weird creativity"

---

. . . Heh, good times. Some of other times she also practiced her spells at park while me being the judge as usual when we were kids

---

"How about that Dani, does it look great to you?! " she said as she looked at me like she expected I'll give her a trophy

". . . Meh"

"What did you mean meh?! I just cast a fire tornado, not just a small tornado, a size equal to F5 tornado!! "

"Unless you can cast two of those while eating snack, I'm giving you 6.9 out of 10"

". . . I swear you're the second worst judge after my older brother, Syed"

". . . Is that a compliment or. . .? "

"Dani. . .! "

---

Yeah. . . Great childhood memories, and don't get me started with Syed as well. Oh well, I probably have extra monologues and flashbacks about him later

"Well, we are so honored to have you in our interview, is there anything you want to say to cameras before we end? "

She then start staring at those cameras point at her before did her beautiful smile like she's looking directly at me and her brother

"Well, first off, to my brother Syed, come back to earth quicker please, mom say dinner's ready. . ."

Huh, Syed is at space again? Guess that's normal now

". . . And I want to thank my childhood friend, Dani to be supportive when we were kids, wherever he is I hope he's doing fine by now. . . "

. . . Well, I'm surprised she say such nice thing-

". . . Also, Dani, stop giving me suggestion to make spell so you can die in sleep, I won't make that"

I take it back, she's a dork.

. . .

Oh well, dorks like her is what keeping me alive anyway
