Hi, guys! This story is written by me, UniqueCharm, and one of my AWESOME best friends, TheMatchmakingSnowman! The chapters will be done in alternate order, so I wrote the first chapter. The second is by TheMatchmakingSnowman, and then me and then her, and etc, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah and whatnot! :) Anyway, enough of my blubbering, here's the story:
Hi, my name is Flora Martinez. Yeah, I'm Spanish! I go to Gardenia High, and I have this MAJOR crush on this really cute guy: Helia Wilson. I'm head over heels for him, but I don't want to ask him out, because I can't take rejection… And I'm totally shy!
"Hey, Flora?" I snapped out of my thoughts, and spun my head round to see Helia smiling at me.
"You okay? You kind of dazed out a bit," Helia put down his pen. We were in Biology talking about nature and plants. I love plants and nature including the world around. It's a beautiful place, and I'm shocked to see so many people destroying our natural environment. Why can't people recycle? Don't they understand how much it damages the environment? I sighed, upset.
"Flora? Is everything okay? Something on your mind?" Helia gave me a small nudge as I let my mind wander. I can be so much in thought sometimes, and drift from one thing to another.
"Yeah everything's fine, Helia," I replied with a sweet smile. Helia's so sweet!
"Just making sure, Flora. You seem out of sorts today," He told me.
"Yeah, it's just that I'm so nervous about the Biology trial," I half lied. Okay, so I didn't lie fully… I really am worried about it, but I think I'll do alright because the main subject is Nature. So…
"Worried? Oh, don't worry, Flo! You'll do great!" Helia winked. Winked? Flo? Oh, I so wish he doesn't do that! Seriously, my heart beats faster when he winks, and my legs go numb when he calls me Flo. Thank you, I'm sitting on a stool!
"Thanks, Helia," I giggled. I packed my things as soon as I heard the class bell.
"Could I ask you a huge favour?"
"Sure, Helia," Okay, now this has probably the longest conversation I've ever had with him!
"You wanna revise together?" He asked me nervously.
"Umm, sure. When?" I looked down and blushed.
"Today, after school? If you have plans, then that's fine! I'll ask Sky, or Nabu, or maybe—" Helia babbled.
"Helia!" I whispered softly. "Today's fine." Oh, no! I just interrupted him! Why couldn't I have just kept my mouth shut? He's going to think I'm bossy.
"O-okay," Helia replied, obviously startled. I hope I didn't freak him out! "See you at lunch!" Helia waved as we went to our separate classes.
"See you," I whispered. Helia's amazing and so sweet! He's so kind, sensitive, talented at gardening, and so artistic. He's smart and strong, and writes the most amazing poetry, and—
"Yo! Yo, Flora!" I snapped my head round, to see Musa running towards me.
"Hey, Musa!" I waved.
"Hey, what you got?" She asked, as her long, black hair sat comfortably on her shoulder in a braid.
"English, you?"
"Darn! Algebra. Such a boring subject. Who even invented Algebra? No, scrap that, who even invented Math?" Musa half shouted as she buried her face in her hands, as I giggled. So Musa!
"See, you, and if you don't make it out alive, I'm bustin' you out of there!" I joked, as I went to my classroom. Musa Chung's my best friend – she's just the most badass girl I know. She's a bad girl, and I'm a good girl… It's crazy but we get along like two peas in a pod!
After two AWESOME hours of English (it's one my favourite subjects!), lunch, and then Spanish, I met up with Helia outside the front gates of the school.
"Hey, Helia," I whispered shyly, as I waved to a guy with long blue/black hair.
"Hey, Flo!" He smiled at me. "Ready?"
"Sure," I smiled in return as I hopped into the front passenger seat. Helia chuckled.
"You're eager aren't you?" He mused, whilst I blushed. Why does he have this effect on me?
"Well, I just want to go and study. Is that a problem?" I giggled. Why do I keep saying weird things?
"No, ma'am," He saluted as he put on his belt, and I did mine. Oh, he didn't notice! He started the engine and we began to head off to his house. It's not far from mine, just a couple of blocks away. I felt my hand glowing, so I shoved it quickly in my bag.
"What was that?" Helia asked intrigued by the sight of something glowing in the corner of his eye.
"My, er, phone," I lied again.
"Oh. Wait, your parents do know you're coming right?" Helia asked unsure.
"Yup, I called them during lunch," I confirmed.
"Oh, and you know Musa?" Helia started again, as my glowing hand could be seen through my bag.
"Yeah," I panicked not really listening to Helia.
"Well, I think Riven likes her… He's just too shy to admit it!" Helia looked at me, as my hand began to regain it's colour.
"Really? She likes him – she told me. And I don't think 'shy' is the right word for Riven. Try 'arrogant?'" I wondered as I quickly sat on my hands to stop them from levitating my bag into the air.
Helia chuckled again. "Perfect word, Flo."
I smiled to myself. Helia's amazing! I felt giddy inside as I kept reminding myself that I'm in HELIA WILSON'S CAR! I never thought I would be in this position!
"What are you smiling about?" Helia asked as we pulled into his drive, not noticing the fact that I was floating in midair in the car as my hands were still under my legs.
"Just thinking, that we should fix them up?" I half lied. What's with me and half lying?!
"Nah, that should be Stella's job," He told me. As soon as he looked in my direction, I was able to sit back onto the passenger chair again.
"True," I giggled. Stella Richard's is one of my other friends, we're close, but not as close as me and Musa. I mean she's in my friendship group, but I just get along with Musa better! Stella is fashion crazy, and is currently the girlfriend to a football jock: Brandon Green.
"Besides, Riven will kill me with his death glare… I swear if looks could kill, I'd be dead years ago!" Helia went pale as I giggled. We came out the car and he took me to the study, as my hands were glowing again. It was HUGE! I mean, I knew Helia was wealthy, but my oh my, was this something!
"Whoa," I stood there with my mouth hanging wide, as I stared in awe around the room: Shiny wooden flooring, pale pastel green walls, with photos of Helia and the rest of the football team: Brandon Green, Sky Blue, Timmy Turner, Riven Hale, Nabu Jackson, Andy Foster, Jared Doors, Roy Anderson, Jason Queen, Drake Hugh, Felix Grey, Matt Thomas, Spencer Kendrick, and of course, Helia Wilson. I don't know Drake, Felix, Matt and Spencer that well, but I know the others alright. Besides the photos, there was a gorgeous piano that Musa would LOVE! She's music crazy! On the far left, I saw a large walnut desk and three desk chairs around it. Covering almost every inch of the desk was piles of paper. There was something that caught my eye, though: a beautifully painted picture on an easel right opposite me. I walked over to get a closer look.
"I knew you'd like that," Helia flashed me a grin as he saw me walking over there.
"It's beautiful," I gasped. It was a painting of three doves flying in the sky.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah. I can really see the fine brush strokes where you show the art of flying and doves, and merge them into one," I whispered.
Helia looked at me. "That's exactly what I was going for, thanks! I've never met anyone who understands my art."
"Really?"
"Really." Helia and I stared into each others eyes: his beautiful midnight blue eyes were so alluring, it was calm, as if I was gazing at the moon on a starry night. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a loud THUD! I whipped my head round to see piles of sheets falling onto the floor from the desk.
"I'm just gonna…" Helia dashed towards the floor nervously, tripping over some more sheets in the process as I just giggled, helping him. "Done," Helia quickly lent on the desk, like what he had done was no big deal and tried to act cool. It wasn't working.
"What up with the face?" I turned my head sideways in confusion, jokingly.
"Haha, very funny," Helia said sarcastically as he shook his head and dug out his textbooks, whilst I grabbed mine. "Let's study," He announced as we sat onto the chairs quizzing each other on multiple questions.
Then, it went bad.
"Wow, would you look at the time!" Helia checked the grandfather clock sitting behind us.
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving. Don't need to make it so obvious!" I joked as I packed my things away.
Helia groaned in relief, "Finally! I thought you would never leave!" I looked at him with my mouth open half-smiling, pretending to be hurt. Helia chuckled. "No, seriously, I'm glad you're here, cus I thought I was gonna fail that test, but not anymore, thanks to you!"
"Aww, shucks!" I gushed. Gushed? This is NOT like me! I'm normally the girl who sits in the corner all timid and shy, but now I'm actually having a banter with Helia, and actually talking like a normal person? WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?! Well, I guess that's what love does to you, right?
"Flora, I'm gonna go and get you something to eat, one moment!" Helia got up.
"Oh no, it's fine, I'm not.…" He left. "….Hungry. Great." I looked at the painting again and smiled.
"So beautiful," I whispered. I reached out to touch the canvas, noticing my hands glowing again. "Oh, no!" I turned around to make sure Helia wasn't there. He wasn't. My hands turned yellow, as Helia walked in with a tray of biscuits.
"Woah! Flora, what happened to your hands?" Helia quickly put the tray down, and ran up to me examining my hands.
"Umm…" I mumbled.
"Your hands are cold, let me get some gloves from my bag," He offered politely. How sweet!
"Thank you," I beamed. As he reached for his bag, I started flying again, and not the way I hoped to: beautiful pink wings sprouted out from my back, I transformed into a silky pink dress that reached halfway down to my thighs, some of my hair was pinned up into two small buns on either side of my head, and the rest of my hair was curled, and was longer than usual and reached down to my thighs. I had a cyan tiara sitting primly on top of my head, flowers on my feet and legs with their stems, and two shimmering, pink gloves on my hands reaching just over my elbows. Not again! A/N: This is her Enchantix outfit!
"Flora? Did you just… Just…" Helia looked a bit frightened and annoyed as he pointed to me. "Flora? Say something?" I just stayed there in the air with my mouth hanging not sure what to do or say.
"Uh…" I managed croak, as I began to shimmer green and pink sparkles. Uh oh…
