Im really bored today even though it's Christmas. So I decided to write... A lot. This is an old story I wrote a year ago and just added a bunch of details and made it coherent
I own Snow... :)
|El Paso, El Paso HS
|12:35am
Jaime's POV~
"Science book, science book... Ha ha! Found you." I say under my breath
'You know I could have used the x-ray vision that I posess to help you find that book' Scarab says as I put my science book in my school bag. 'Look Scarab, this mess in my locker existed wayyy before we met so I don't need your help.' I shoot back pointing discreetly at my locker so people don't think I've gone crazy. I pat my pant pockets a few times and notice that my phone is gone.
'Now where is my-'
'Jaime.'
'Phone, phone, phone...'
'Jaime.'
'I can find my phone without you. Phone, phone- 'I say, well thought while looking for my phone in my locker
'Jaime!' Says louder in my head, not loud enough to be considered screaming but very close
"WHAT!? " Without realizing it I say that last part out loud and everyone that is next to me looks in my direction so, I decide to do the smartest thing I can think of;
"Euhhh, I was talking on the phone, yeah my phone..." I say hesitantly as I take my hand out of my locker holding my phone and putting it next to my ear.
'What do you want you stupid bug?' I ask mentally furious
'Someone's in trouble.' Says Scarab in his monotone voice
'Who?' I ask as I look around me,
I turn around and see her. Usually she would be smiling and laughing happily but this time, she's in an unsteady situation...
"How could you? I thought we were friends!" Asks Emiliana with tears flowing down her cheeks and then raises her hand to-
'Slap' slap her...
Yeah maybe I should do something.
Snow's POV~
'Ok. It didn't hurt but that's gonna leave a mark.' I thought. She was in front of me, her hand was still up next to my face and my head was still turned around from the impact. "Ok chicas, c'mon. How about we talk before hitting each other." That voice...
"How about you stay out of this, huh?" She told him with daggers in her eyes."C'mon Emiliana, don't be so hard on Snow! Listen to Jaime. Maybe you should talk thi-" Miguel adds "She asks you out then sleeps with you! I don't need to talk it out with her! I need to make her know her place!" Emiliana snaps now angry and full on crying
At this point, Jaime is just looking at me as if I have two heads. I can't blame him though, Emiliana is the kindest girl in school! She wouldn't snap at someone for no reason
"Snow?" He asks with worry in his eyes. Ok now he's killing me! He just said my name with the sweetest voice ever!
Jaime's POV~
"Snow, is it true?"I ask not wanting to believe it
"Yeah, so what? It's none of you're buisness" she replies. She's so calm, she doesn't even blink. Everyone is looking at us.
Her long brown hair is in a ponytail and out of her face which brings her beautiful silver eyes out. I can't help myself but stare at them and I start to think about her.
'The girl is lying Jaime Rayes. Her heartbeat accelerated when she answered and she seemed to be sweating from her hands.' Scarab says snapping me out of my daydream
'But why is she lying?' I ask no one in particular
'Ask her.' Answers Scarab
'I can't ask her that! Nobody knows she's lying they all think its true! I can't just ask her that out of nowhere in front of everybody like that. I'll ask her later when it's just the two of us.'
'Why not now?' Asks Scarab
'Riiiiiinnnggg'
Because I have to get to class.
|El Paso ,in a park
|7:34pm
'This is the worst day ever. First, I'm late for school. Then Jaime sees me in one of those situations and now, I'm gonna get in trouble with abuela for being in a fight. Awesome.' I think. I sigh and start to think about him ;Jaime, we had to pair up for a project in science today and Jaime picked me to be with him, I couldn't even look him in the eyes so I only spoke if it was about the project.
"You shouldn't be out this late" I turned around and saw Blue Beetle. Great now I'm also getting in trouble for talking with a super hero. "And that's your problem because...?" I replied nonchalantly, wondering what abuela would say if she saw this.
"These streets aren't very secure, chica" Did he just call me chica? That actually reminds me of someone
"Look chico, I think I'm old enough to take care of myself! I don't need some guy in a suit telling me what to do, especially one who doesn't show his face, clear?" I say with as much sass I can muster up, but I swore that, for a minute, he reminded me of someone.
"Crystal. And the name's Bl-"
"Blue Beetle, I know" I cut him off before he has time to finish his sentence
'Is it me or did she just roll her eyes at me?' I ask myself
'Exterminate her.'
"What? No! I'm not doing that!" 'Why is she looking at me like that?' I ask myself "Qué? Ohh, I just said that out loud didn't I?" I say rubbing the back of my neck nervously
She rolled her eyes at me ,again, I swear she does that a lot, but for a second I'm pretty sure I saw a small smile.
"Don't you have somewhere else more important to be?" She asks with confidence.
'Maybe you could ask her now.' Says Scarab basically interrupting my conversation with Snow
'Ask her what?' I know exactly what he's talking about but disregarding it as I get sucked back into the beauty of her eyes.
'Why the Emiliana hit her.'
'Isn't she going know that I go to the same school as her?' I ask kind of irritated that he's still there
'Then ask her why her face is bruised.'
'ugh fine' I say ,mentally, displeased with the turn of events
"Not really. Hey, I'm curious! Where did you bruise your left cheek?" I ask smirking to rebound from the awkward silence and the fact that I've been staring at her eyes for the past two minutes.
'Ok now she looks mad!Way to go stupid bug.' I sigh internally
"If I tell you, you'll leave?" She asks now back to her normal self but probably still pissed about my question
"Yes" I say a little bit too eagerly. 'well that was easy! I think? '
" I bumped into a tree" she says lying through her teeth
'The Snow is lying.'
'No really! I haven't noticed. It's not like I was totally there when she got hit by her friend.' I add rolling my eyes
'But you were there.' Reply's Scarab confused
'I know, it's called sarcasm Scarab.' I answer him
Noted.
" Now that I told you, you have to leave" back to scare one
"sigh. Ok you win. I'm leaving but you could at least come up with a better lie" I say that last part a little bit too loud. 'Scarab, activate flight mode. '
'Activated.'
As I'm flying, I start thinking about Snow. I've had a crush on her ever since she came to our school, well four months ago when school started. On the first day of school, first period I met her. We were in science class and sometimes when kids are too advanced compared to the people in their class, they get to have that class with people a year older than them so they don't get bored in class, that's what happened to Snow. She's only fifteen but she's so smart and pretty and those eyes that look like the winter in Happy Harbor...
'Jaime Rayes, you shouldn't get too close to her.' Once again, Scarab cuts me in my daydream.' Porque? ' I ask paying even less attention to my surroundings, not that I was doing such a good job earlier at that.
'Because she is making you mentally unstable.' He adds
"What do you mean by unsta-" I say out loud but get interrupted by crashing into a building because I was flying too low.
"Since when was there a building here?" I ask out loud still not paying attention around me and constating that if I flew 3ft higher, my nose wouldn't feel sore right now
"You ok Blue? You don't seem too whelmed" Chuckles Nightwing giving me his hand to help me up
"NIGHTWING?! What are you doing in El Paso?" I start to worry that he might have seen that scene with Snow.
"Just came to check on you, and pretty sure the building is older than you" he replies
"Do we have a mission?" I ask a little irritated that Scarab didn't tell me about the wall
"No, but what's the talk about stability?" He asks now with a smirk on his lips
"The scarab told me I was unstable ... While flying" I reply unsure if he was going to buy it.
"Well you did bump into a building" he answers, once again, laughing
El Paso 10 days later, same park
"Not gonna tell me today either?" He asks me while following me around the park
Díos mío, he's so persistent! It's been ten days and everyday he asks me the same damn question!
"Fine, you want to know?" I ask now officially done with this
"Finalmente" he says raising his hands in the air to drop them back to his sides again.
"First you have to answer one of my questions" I add smartly
" Depends on the question, no personal ones" says Beetle with a stern tone in his voice.
I rolled my eyes 'figured' I thought then ask "Why do you want to know so much, you don't know me and I sure as hell don't know you so why?" I say retaining my claws back in my hands
For a minute or so he stayed there looking at me surprised, but then he started to think about his answer.
"I don't know... I'm just a curious beetle I guess" he adds a smirk at the end of his answer. If abuela was here she would have dragged me back home by the ears because for a second I considered biting that smirk of with my teeth.
"Apparently, I slept with my friend's boyfriend" I say still mad about that smirk staring wide into his eyes
"Did you?" He looked surprised
"Yes" I answered confidently wanting him to leave me alone. I had to be at Jaime's for our science project.
"Don't lie, Snow" he said while rolling his eyes. "Tell me why she thought that" he continued
" 'sigh' There are some girls that started rumours about me" I finally say not knowing why I'm trusting him with this information about my private life
" Why?" He asks actually curious
"They were probably bored" This time I was honest, since I don't know the answer myself. "Emiliana was the only one who didn't believe the rumours, the rest did so she was my only friend left" I continue.
"Let me guess. The rumours were that you were sleeping with people's boyfriends?" He says it in a way that sounded more like an affirmation than a question.
"Exactly" I say looking down embarrassed
"So the boyfriend cheated on his girlfriend?"
"Yup" I say popping the 'p'
"Then the girl found out and she wanted to know who it was so he blamed it on you because it would be the most believeable choice?" He asks unsure
"That's pretty much the story" At this point I realized how dumb of an excuse that was. Anybody could have said that to indescriment themselves! I mean he doesn't know me so he's maybe thinking that I'm trying to cover my acts or something.
"Don't worry, I believe you!" This time he says with a sweet smile on his face. "But..." He continues " I don't get why you didn't tell them that it wasn't you. You lost all your friends from what I understand just because of some stupid rumour!" Says Beetle looking confused
"I..." That surprised me. " I just don't like the attention I guess, and it's not like I need friends to survive or whatever!" I say with no hesitation what's so ever... Ok with a lot of hesitation
"Then, maybe I could be your friend!" He asked shyly now looking down at the ground while rubbing the the back of his neck
I start to laugh and calm down Yeah, not happening. "Sorry, I don't think we'd get along." I say instead of telling the truth. I don't really like heroes or whatever they call themselves. Me, friend with a hero...ha, not happening! Abuela would have my head.
You may have seen some clues about what Snow is, yes she's half human half animal, no she's not half cat... That would be too predictable.
Next chapters will only be Snow's POV
Hope you enjoyed and Merry Christmas;)
