This story may seem a bit confusing at first, but i didn't want to give away anything. Don't worry, this story will piece together eventually.
Ethan's POV
"Hey e," said Benny as soon as he saw me. "You seen the new girl? She's HOT!" i had to admit, he had a point there. "Yes, and she's also standing right behind you." i told him, trying hard not to laugh. He turned around slowly and found the new girl and Sarah standing behind him. Luckily for him, the new girl looked happy with what he'd said. Sarah simply rolled her eyes then said "moving on. This is Ali; she just moved here from England and will be staying here for about a year." Benny raised his hand. "I know what you're gonna say Benny, and no you can't show her around because I've been chosen to do that." Said Sarah. I looked at the new girl and waited for her to say something. Instead, she looked down at her hands, widened her eyes and put them behind her back. Then she saw me looking at her and she smiled suspiciously. She then said to Sarah "umm, we should go now. We'll be late for class..." but the bell wasn't due to go for another 10 minutes. Sarah gave her a weird look, but Ali gestured to her hands and Sarah said quickly "yes... we should go. C'mon Ali!" then she pulled her away. I looked at Benny. "Am i the only one who noticed something strange about Ali?" i asked him, but he was still staring after her. I hit him and he snapped out of it, "Nope, she seems normal." I rolled my eyes.
Meanwhile...
Sarah's POV
"What's wrong now?" i asked Ali. She narrowed her eyes and raised her hands. They had turned red and were now on fire. (I'm not kidding. Her hands were literally on fire.) "Oh nothing, just a bit of a fever (!)" she said sarcastically, running her hands under the faucet. The fire went out. She looked confused. "That normally doesn't work. Oh well, must be getting better at controlling my powers." She said. I sighed, "i have to say, you aren't making my job as your protector any easier."Then the bell rang and we decided to go to class.
Ali's POV
I was waiting outside of the school for Sarah, when this boy randomly came out of the bush in front of me. I tried to scream, but he was seriously quick and put his hands on my mouth before i could. No human could possibly be that quick. Next thing i knew, he dragged me into the bushes so no one even knew what was going on.
Sarah's POV
I'd been standing outside of the school for over an hour now, and Ali still hadn't shown up. I was starting to worry about her. I decided to call her to find out if she'd ditched me. The phone rang for a few minutes before she answered. "Sarah, thank god you called! I need help." She said quickly, she was whispering for some reason. "Ali, are you o.k? Your voice sounds really weird." I asked. "Yes, I'm fine for now. Did you used to date someone called Jesse?" she asked. I'd never told her about him, suddenly i didn't like where this conversation was going. "yes." I answered. Suddenly, there was a loud crashing sound in the background and i heard Jesse's voice saying "what are you doing? Who was that call to?" then the phone call was cut off. I knew what i had to do. But where was i going to start?
I was going over where Ali might be in my head all the way home. I was concentrating on this so much that when my phone rang, i nearly fell off the chair i was sitting on. It was from Ali's phone so i answered. "Ali, what did he do to you?" i asked quickly. I heard a man laughing down the phone. "Your friend is fine... for now. But to keep her that way, you must do me one teensy favour." Said Jesse's voice down the phone. I sighed. "Fine, what do you want from me?" i asked, almost afraid to hear the answer. He paused as if thinking about what to say as the answer. "One last chance. Go on one more date with me, to prove I've changed." I paused, wondering whether i should go. "And what if i don't go?" i said, although i pretty much knew what the answer was gonna be. "Then i kill your friend. And to prove she's still here;" i heard a girl screaming, then Ali said "don't listen to him! He won't hurt me until you do what he wants! That last scream was because he ripped the cello tape off my mouth!" then she was cut off again and all i could hear was the muffled sound of her voice. (He must've put the tape back on.) "Umm... ignore her, i actually did hurt her. She's lying. Do we have a deal?" he said quickly. To be honest, i believed Ali a lot more than i believed him, but i did believe that he'd hurt her so i said "deal. Tomorrow at 8 for our last date EVER. And make sure you bring Ali, otherwise I'm leaving." I told him and he agreed.
