A.N. Hi everyone! Just thought I'd try my hand on fanfiction, starting with a Sky High story. I've always wanted to write a Warren/OC fic so here it is :) Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Sky High and any of its characters. All OC's are mine, and that's pretty much it - sad I know :)
Prologue
A memory remains, just a tiny spark
I give it all my oxygen
To let the flames begin
"Because I like you Warren!" a girl in pigtails said as she faced a guy clad in a black leather jacket.
Warren just shook his head, sure, he didn't have anyone to go to prom with, but he would never go with Mia. They might have been friends when they were younger, but he certainly did not have any kind of romantic feelings for her. Plus, she had become more annoying lately, following him around with a few other girls who seemed to have formed a Warren Peace fan club.
"I told you Mia, I'm not going to prom with you. Now stop following me around wishing that I would ask."
Soon enough people started to notice the conversation between the two. Warren's friends did not want to be involved so they stood by a few feet away. The others in the hallway, however, just looked on out of mere curiosity, and the hope of fresh, new gossip.
"Is it because I'm a sophomore? You don't want me to like you because I'm too young or something?" said Mia forlornly as she looked at her object of affection.
Warren sighed in frustration as he finally noticed the crowd around them. The day had been hard and he wasn't in a very good mood.
"It's not because you're a sophomore! It's because you're some creepy stalker who won't leave me alone!" came Warren's loud response. As soon as the words left his mouth he regretted it, but it was too late.
It had been loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear, and the laughter started as if on cue. Mia looked like she was just slapped in the face, and Warren's frustrated expression instantly disappeared. He walked away quickly from Mia's shocked and embarrassed face in case he did something else to hurt her feelings more. Warren quickly passed his friends who opened their mouths to say something, but didn't. Meanwhile, the laughter continued, and Mia rushed outside, away from the jeers, the insults, and the fingers pointed at her. The only sympathetic face she saw was Nate's, her best friend, possibly her only friend at that time.
Warren's rejection was a big blow for Mia, but deep in her mind she saw it coming, she was just not prepared for it. As she sat in the bus on her way home with people still snickering at her, she felt nothing but sadness and humiliation. She wanted to cry, but it was impossible for her to do so; she wasn't a person who cried easily, in fact, she couldn't remember a time when she actually cried. Tears came with difficulty for her, no matter how much she wanted them.
"Millie are you okay?" Mia heard her friend Nate ask, his tone worried.
Mia shrugged, "I don't know."
"It's gonna be okay, trust me," Nate reassured as he wrapped an arm around her, and sent glares to the people in the bus who were still laughing at Mia.
Mia however, just stared ahead and tried to feel apathetic towards the rest of them.
The clichéd words of 'crushed by a crush' came instantly to her head.
She swore to herself that she would try to forget the boy named Warren Peace and move on with her life.
