Chapter 4: Energy Gathering And Pre-school
Nimm started feeling the drip of energy gather together, and when it was finished, Nimm could feel that there were actually two energies instead of one, the first one was where the drip had mainly gone to, it was a weak, soft, comforting, pulse of energy. The other one, that even though the drip barely went to it, was radiating, was like a star, burning his mind when he looked and when he did look at it, there was this sense of emptiness with it.
With this, Nimm decided to try not to use it as much as possible. So Nimm felt the weaker energy in him and wondered what to do with it, at first he was confused, but then, on instinct, he moved the energy along his body. It was a very calming feeling. He carried on so until he fell asleep. And unconsciously, he added the other energy in with it, causing huge changes to happen to Nimm's undeveloped body.
When Nimm woke up in a sweat, he immediately checked the energies, the weak one was almost completely empty, and the star was slightly less bright. He then got out of bed and wandered around his new house looking for Miss Melanie and Mister Tyrone. But he forgot that he was too strong for the realm because as he stepped off the bed, he flew into the ceiling, almost breaking it. Tyrone immediately burst into the room and yelled,
"What was that!?"
"I hit my head on the roof"
Tyrone looked at the child to see that he was bigger than yesterday, at least a whopping three and a half centimetres taller, and had little muscles in development. So he asked his wife,
"Hey Melanie, what did you give him yesterday?"
"We only had McDanolds, why? What happened?"
She walked into the room and saw the changes in the child, after her first glance, she just looked confused, and after a moment or two of silence, she finally asked,
"Why did his clothes grow with him?"
She was right, his blue shirt and purple trousers had grown with him. They gawked for a while, but soon after, they realized that he wasn't hurt anymore, and more importantly, that he hit the roof, and this wasn't a short room where you can hit your head by jumping on the bed, it was at least 3 meters tall. So they looked at him in amazement, and instead of asking how and why they told him, "H-hey let's take a bath already, or you're going to be late for your first day in pre-school. We'll talk about this later, "
Melanie then took Nimm by the hand, slowly led him to the bathroom, and gave him a good scrubbing. She seemed a tiny bit concerned but, was happy to give him a bath. He was then dried and put his clothes back on.
She then gave him a bag and said, "Slide this part over one shoulder, and let the bag part sit on your waste, and there's a zipper on there and if you open it, there's a notebook, a pen, and a bag with some food, I don't know what you like so I just packed a sandwich with some grape juice and gummies, "
At the mention of grape juice, his face lit up.
He put the bag on like she instructed and followed her to the car, they drove to the school building, which reminded him of a bigger, flatter, version of the church. Nimm and Melanie walked to his new classroom and he went inside. The teacher greeted him and told him her name was Ms Skaleele, she then turned him to the rest of the class and introduced him,
"Okay everybody, today we have a new student,-" she turned towards Nimm and whispered, "say your name,"
"Hi, my name is Nimm Eindeguard," he said it with the same power before, but this time it was even more powerful than before because of his energies. So the whole class was silent for a moment before they all started talking at once. But only one of the things they said got his attention.
"Wow, you look so weird!"
Nimm felt hurt by these words and asked,
"But, don't I look like all of you?"
They shook their heads and one of them got a handheld mirror and gave it to Nimm. He looked at it and saw that he had tan skin, spiky purple hair and his eyes were different colours, one was a cold, piercing, grey, and the other one was a warm, joyful, pink. He then looked around and saw that most of them had black or brown hair, a few of them had blonde hair, and only one kid had ginger hair. And the strangest coloured eyes were the green eyes that the red-haired kid had. A lot of his attention went to the red-haired kid, he seemed lonely. Their eyes met for a couple of seconds before the red-haired kid looked away. Seeing this, Nimm gave back the mirror, and said,
"That's cool, that means that I'm one of the different ones here, nice, " he then walked towards the red-haired kid and asked,
"Hi, my name is Nimm, what's your name?"
He didn't respond at first, and he was about to say something before a kid yelled,
"Oh that's Sean, he doesn't talk to anybody," Nimm got angry because after the kid said that, Sean decided to not say anything.
"Well, he was about to talk to me!" Nimm exclaimed. He then turned to Sean and said, "It's okay, what were you about to say?" Sean hesitated again before saying,
"Yeah my name is Sean-" He cleared his throat because it was raspy from not talking for a while,
"- Sean Ackaient, " Nimm was happy that Sean talked to him, so he sat down next to him. Ms Skaleele got their attention and started to teach, Nimm pulled out his pen and notebook and started to write down what she said, they started out with language arts, which was extremely helpful to Nimm as he didn't know that much English, they moved on to maths, which he didn't like as much but he didn't hate it, after that they went to a separate room to have lunch, the room was as big as the room he first entered the church, it had a few tables, the seats had to be pulled down and the tables had to be connected in order for a group of kids to sit together. A large group of kids invited Nimm to sit with them but, they looked overly serious and like they only wanted him there to make fun of his appearance, so he told them in a somewhat cold manner. A smaller, more likely, group also invited him to their group, and even though they looked nice and genuinely curious to know him, he politely told them no, and that he might join them next time. He then looked around and found Sean, he was seated at a table that wasn't pushed together, so only five students could sit there at a time, and sat down next to him. He pulled out his lunch bag, but before Nimm could pull anything out of it Sean asked,
"Is there anything with soy in there?" Nimm was confused, so he just responded by asking,
"Do you want to check my bag?" He offered the bag to Sean and Sean took out a tube with a needle and looked through it, and after thoroughly checking, he said, "Okay, your good, " Nimm asked why he needed to check, and Sean explained to him that he was allergic to soy. There was a short silence and then Sean asked him, "So what do you want?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like, two groups invited you but you said no to both and sat with me so, I want to know if you want anything from me?"
Nimm thought for a while and then said, "I sat with you because you looked sad, and I wanted to be your friend,"
Sean questioned further and pointed at his hair while asking,
"Even though I have red hair?" Nimm laughed when he heard that and asked, pointing to his own hair and replied with,
"Do you think that I care?" Sean face palmed at his own question now, then started laughing, then Nimm joined in, the rest of the cafeteria, which was now full of students aged 4-11, looked at the duo in confusion both because of Nimm's exotic look, and the fact that Sean, a kid that many of them tried to make laugh and failed, was laughing this hard. So after they stopped laughing, a couple of kids came over to ask what was so funny, but Nimm and Sean just looked at each other and started laughing again. This happened so many times that the other kids just gave up. Now after they stopped laughing (for real this time), Nimm asked Sean,
"So do you want to be my friend?"
"Yeah," Sean felt like there was going to be almost no one would ever get as close to him as Nimm would be, so he happily agreed. They then continued to eat, but this time there wasn't any silence, they were talking a lot about stuff they like, what they wanted to do, and Nimm was about to tell him about the strange energies but, lunch ended right before he was going to, and Sean looked sort of tired. When they got back to the classroom, the desks and tables were cleared out, and there were blankets all over the floor. All Ms Skaleele said was, "Naptime, " and all the kids went to a blanket, Nimm picked one that was across to Sean and that was next to a wall. After ten minutes of lying down, everyone except for him fell asleep, so Nimm took this time and started to channel his energies. This time it was easier than before, and the shining energy was more bearable, and he was able to seep from it, after circulating the energy, no physical changes happened but, he felt like he could control the energies much easier now. He eventually got tired, stop what he was doing, and fell asleep.
