| - Anji: What have I done? Anji: Thor? Erik? Say something, please? Anji: Oh my, oh my. What do I do? Anji: Gotta set some clothes aside for getting home. It’s becoming a real problem. Anji: I killed a man. He died because of me. Maybe I should never turn again? I can’t kill people, yet I can't control my strength. Eva: Anji! Come downstairs! Now! Anji: Coming, mother. Eva: You’ve been unwell since Friday night Anji! You cannot miss a third day of school. Anji: You could say that killing someone takes it’s toll on someone. I’m sure no one needs to be told that, but I can’t stress enough how much it has changed me. I feel like something not human. Even when I began transforming into an elephant, i still felt more human that I do now. I also cannot stress enough how unlike my mother is to Auntie Savanna. Perhaps she never knew. Perhaps Auntie S was my real mother? ...No, I look to much like my mother. Mr.A: Hello students, my name is Mr.A - short for Argatha. I’m your new history teacher while Mrs. White is away, so we will beginning a new topic. Anji: History is a universally hated subject, mostly due to Mrs.White’s teaching style making me almost fall asleep on many occasions. I just sat in silence at the back, my mind still living that night. Mr.A: We will be learning about Mythology, notably the ideas of Gods. Why do ancient cultures from opposite sides of the Earth, all have the shared idea to worship a pantheon of men and women responsible for representing aspects of life? While it can be said that it is human nature to believe in something that explains life’s big questions, there also may be a bigger plan at play. We will be exploring this idea over the next few weeks. Anji: This is perhaps the luckiest thing that’s happened all week. Maybe if I gain this teacher’s trust, I can discuss the idea of these Titans that Erik mentioned. Anji: Mr. A? Mr.A: We haven’t met yet. Are you Anji, who was sick? Anji: Yes, Sir. Mr.A: Nice to meet you. What do you want to say? Anji: Will be discussing the Hindu gods? Mr.A: Unfortunately that falls under Religious Studies. Do not get confused however, Greek, Hindu, Egyptian, they are all mythology, it’s just that as people still believe in the Hindu religion, so the school likes to think one is real and the others a simply legend. Anji: Do you think Hinduism is legend as well? Mr.A: Dear, I’m not here to offend anyone, especially as I’ve just moved here. But if you want my opinion, religion, history and mythology are separated so often, when quite frankly they should be one and the same. Anji: what happened? Why is he here? Rohan: They are here for you, Anji. Officer: You are not in any trouble, I simply want to talk with you. I was thinking we can walk to the park while we’re discussing what I want to talk about. Anji: He knows, doesn't he. I’m going to be jailed, or experimented on or something?! Officer: At 10:10 last Friday, you were seen walking home with nothing but a shirt and coat on. You were reported to be crying, and you were also reported to be walking in the shadows to avoid being seen. Anji: Please, it’s not what you think! Officer: Look, I know rumours pass quickly amongst teenagers in a school environment, so I’ll be keeping this unofficial if you answer truthfully and we can bring a conclusion to this. Anji: Now I’m confused, because I know we are thinking different things. Anji: Okay, I’ll answer truthfully. Officer: That Friday night you were at the house of Ojas Janzan? I’ve seen this a hundred times, so we’ll keep short so it’s less embarrassing for you. You engaged in a sexual encounter with Ojas, and a few hours later you left in embarrassment in his clothes. You were upset, and embarrassed at what you were wearing, so you stayed in the dark. It’s commonly known, unfortunately, as the walk of shame. Anji: Okay… Did not expect that. He thinks I? With Ojas! Hopefully he won’t ask him about this or I’m busted. Let’s…. go with it. Anji: *sigh* Y-yess. That’s what happened. Nothing else. Officer: Did you give consent? Anji: He thinks I was raped? Is this what police officers usually ask? My Gods, this is awkward. Anji: Oh my, he would never, rape, me. No, it was just a bad decision for both of us. I didn’t want him to see me how I was, so I took his clothes and went home. Officer: Do you want me to get your clothes back? Anji: No! We’re on good terms now, don’t worry. I have my stuff back, and so does he. Thank you for your concern officer. Officer: As long as you are okay, I’m happy. I won’t tell your parents of this. I’ll tell them I was interviewing you regarding some criminal activity you may have witnessed recently. Anji: Thank you! I can’t explain how happy I am this is staying on the down-low. She hugged the officer to add to the act. Anji: Now let’s hope they don’t find a shirtless body in a lake. That was a close shave.
