A Coward
I never imagine that my life will be this colorful and I will be this happy to be alive everyday. I thought that this power is for me to be a hero and save someone but I never realize that this power will be the one that save me from my idiotic thinking of worthless sacrifice. Always thinking that I never will be worthy of being happy because of just a disease in my body but in this past three months of what I have experience I realize that death was part of life and there is more in life than what we can see. I was happy that I gain this power it is making my short life brighter than I can ever imagine.

The five people that is sitting close together shout in exhilaration and said in unison
"Push!!!!!! Now!!!!!! Lock tower!!!!"
Then the sweet voice they are waiting came

"Yehey!!!"
"Finally"
"My God they are Good"
The five of them sigh in relief when the tension loosen then look at each other while smiling. Then someone intrude the room carrying a tray of snacks
"Ohhh Mrs. Luna let me take care of that" Jasmine is the first to notice then help in putting the snacks
"Hoho you guys are so serious that I think it was not good to disturb you guys"
"Thanks Mom your early today"
"Yep I cook meal for you guys"
"Sorry for the trouble Mrs. Luna I will help you" Sarah said
"I will help to" Jasmine added
"Wow I will taste again the heavenly cooking of Master's Mom" Paul said while drooling
"Thanks in advance" Ejhie said while lowering his head
"Hoho that fine you are all welcome Vincent's friends should feel at home here so no need to be formal"
"Then I will make myself athome"

"I join you in going to grocery Mom"
"Nahh I already bought it on the way just wait for dinner as we ladies make it"
"Hayys got it"
"Hehehe Ok to the Kitchen ladies!"
The two women get out to help mother while the three of us just wait while chatting on each other. It has been three months since I gain this supernatural power of seeing stars above the head of others and unexpectedly I became a public figure. I was now a youth advocate and the founder of the brotherhood called 'Liga de la esperanza' brotherhood is very normal here in Philippine's so I get an Idea of establishing one bexause only my body alone cant do everything and I think that decision of mine is right. And as I became a Youth advocate and do charitable work I became a public figure and in short time became a popular figure. I quit my part time jobs and focus in expanding our Non government organization to help more people and as you can see the 5 of us was now the founder of 'liga de la esperanza' I first plan it with paul that didnt even reject the idea as he was so happy about it then Ejhie that also join without any explanations. Three people was needed to register for a brotherhood group but I was suprise that Sarah and Jasmine join us after hearing what we will gonna do so that is how the 'Liga de la Esperanza' was founded. It was rare to see a brotherhood group be made by highschool students as it was normally seen in Universities or large Organizations but that didnt stop us from making our organization. And now we have an official member count of 142, 657 and the group is still expanding and the main contributor of that is because of me. Hahaha right me because almost everyday my face will be flastered in the news as I do things that no normal high school students can do. Like making business to help people that was in the bottomline, unstoppable clean drives, apprehending a criminal, giving information as well helping in solving crimes, and my heroic deeds like saving and helping people. So that is why I became a instant celebrity that I never imagine I will became a few months ago. My followers and subscriber in my social media account is already in tens of million. I get some commercials and that help me bigtime in my plans in the future that needs money but still not enough as it was just like a little rain amids the drought. So my mission now is to gather money to accomplish my plans and that is where my past hobby came gaming as I became a gaming streamer to help me with the funds and as expected the 4 of them also join me.
"Master I finally get my own helmet so I was now ready for next week hehehe Im so excited" Paul said as he was reading the comments for the stream just now.
"We dont know if it will be really as big and hyped as what the news said but based in the expensive helmet it should be really a big production"
"Master you really underestimate the Titan corporation it said that they are the future Tech Giant no they are already Tech Giant they will be the future Tech God and this Game was there masterpiece so that is why the whole world is hype"
"Well I cant help but be angry about this Company you know because it was only the advance countries that get the chance to have beta testers and ours they only show the gameplays and the common knowledge its not fair right" Ejhie interjected as he type non stop in his computer that didnt match in his Villanous look.
"From what I hear only 12 countries was accepted in beta testing and that really put bad taste in the mouth of the rest because you know they say that the virtual economy will be vast in that virtual game so having a head start will put you in a catapult starting point. Well we cant do anything about that we just need to focus in building foundation there because that game was said to be treasure mine in the future so for our selves and our league lets make money there"
"Hahaha master if I didnt know how you spend money then I will think you are just a moneygrubber hahaha"
"Shutup but congrats in getting the helmet"
"Hehehe Im dead tired because of part time jobs but seeing the helmet in my own hands all the tiredness fade away"
"Anyway we already plan on what we gonna do so we just need to wait but still its pretty exciting right a true immersive virtual reality game that we only see in movies and fiction was now right in front of us that really made me glad that I was born in this era" Ejhie said as he put a potato chip in his mouth
"Yeah its exciting lets just enjoy the game while we made money"
"But Master what is the news between you and Rhea is everything alright?"
I stopped for a moment before replying with a calm response
"We are still friends"
"10 years of friendship Haysss your really amazing Master"
"I dont know what is going into your mind but I want to smack that head of yours"
"Ohhh no a Heavy hand from the liege No!!!!! Ejhie help!!!"
Ejhie just ignore the happening as he smirk toward the comedic duo
....
I am currently in the sofa with two beautiful ladies and cant help but be awkward as Mom is already in the bed while Paul hop in Ejhie's Motorcycle to go home so that all leave the three of us as I join them while waiting in there ride. Sarah was laying her head in my lap while Jasmine have her head in my shoulder a situation that makes any man think that they are blessed by heavens but I know that this situation just happen because I have this power. A power to empower people, They have just this reaction because of there goodwill towards me so me taking advantage of them was big No. Sarah have brown curly hair that is nice to touch as he lay down in my lap but I know she is just a woman that is so scared a few months ago and Jasmine that laying her head in my shoulder is a woman that just need understanding that the society cant accept but she is a very fragile lady. The two of them have a golden star floating in there heads the same as Paul and Ejhie so that means that there future is bright. I now know how this power of mine work after 3 months of having it in myself and my power means is to empower people. The people that gathered near me is changing and I test them many times and prove that my power work that way. The color is shown to say how can that person affect the world right my conclusion is how they affect the natural world may it be positive or negative. Like how Rhea's Grandfather have a great impact in the world with a bright gold light shining above his head. But it is still have limitations and that is my body that can only be in one place and that is when I think of infection. And that is why I create this brotherhood that already span towards the whole country and still expanding non-stop. The star conversion will be slowed down but the coverage was so wide I cant even imagine it will reach that far because I feel them even if it is very faint I feel them the two girls sleeping besides me my mother that is sleeping upstairs, the whole street where I live that I already infected, The scattered faint traces throughout the whole city and beyond, to the other province and to the whole country. I also feel very faint signals far away maybe overseas and I cant help but be suprised on how far my reach have become. The medium that I know I can used was my words or videos anything that can inspire others in there life but the most effective is my own words and touch as it have faster result than the unconventional way but nevertheless I feel hundred thousands of presence that I inspired in there life and there star color will vary from any bright color may it be blue, orange, yellow, red, gold, white etc.
As I was thinking about many things I hear a honk outside then the two girls open there eyes. They where not estrange about their positions as if they are used to what is happening.
Then Sarah talk first while holding my hand like she dont want to let go of it
"Ohh that is my ride Ill be going first see you on school tomorrow"
"Ok see you tomorrow take care text me when you arrive home"
Sarah shyly look to me then reply back
"Ok"
After I see Sarah leave in a black rover I go back to the house then sit besides Jasmine that didnt speak a word as Sarah leave. She wait for myself to sit before she lay her hed in my lap that Sarah lay her head just now. She move her head to find the perfect angle then lay comfortably I speak to her
"Your driver is late"
"I ask him to be late for an hour"
"But I wanna to sleep now we still have class tomorrow"
"Then lets sleep together"
"Hahaha dont joke around"
"Tsk what a pussy"
"Hayys alright Ill wait till your driver arrive"
She didnt reply as she just find the most comfortable spot for her then close her eyes
I am already sleepy as we play nonstop as it was sunday but I didnt realize that Jasmine will be this stubborn today maybe she is in that time of the month
Then after 40 minutes as my eyes are already half asleep and my legs are now numb I hear her tiny voice
"I love you"
"Please love me too"
"I will help you learn how to love me so please"
I just close my eyes pretending to be asleep while I hear those words a very cowardly action for a man that proclaimed himself to save her and understand her but cant take responsibility when the situation come to this point. I want to but I cant I know that if I accept those feelings she will be more in love with me as I have this power in my body and a time limit so there is more reason to not accept her. All my reasoning was telling me us not to accept her because that is the right thing to do. And like that I see as her leave with a tearmark in her face as she get on a car that cost millions.
