I kind of had this idea when I tried to sleep a few nights ago. I finally have the chance to post it. It is an AU story, in our world where both Razer and Aya are human teenagers. So enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I own nothing cause if I have had we would have seen many Razaya kisses.
Razer's POV.
I sighed. New city. New school. New people, not that I socialize too much. New everything. My father died when I was little. My mother married again several months ago and we moved to Oa a few days ago. It's a pretty nice city, but I don't exactly like it. It is different. I am from Volkreg, a small town in the South America and I had to move to the North America. Ironical, isn't it? My sister, actually my step sister, Iolande, doesn't seem to be bothered. I guess it's because wherever she goes she is the center of attraction. Just like she was. 'She' was my girlfriend, Ilana. She died in a car accident one year ago. I still cannot let her go. Everytime I close my eyes I see her face. She has chin-length brown hair, blue eyes and she was beautiful. She managed to calm me down. We were different yet similar and when she died... I felt like my heart cracked. Anyway, as I said, I am not as excited as Iolande is. Tomorrow it will be our first school day and I know from now I'm going to hate it. Well, at least I can stop thinking about Ilana. Oh no, I do it again.
(Next morning)
It's six a.m. and I should wake up. I should have been up for half an hour but I just cannot. I can hear footsteps and I already know who it is. The door open and:
"Wake up, Ray!"
I groan. I do hate it when she calls me like that and she knows it. "Get away, Iolande!"
"Mom said to wake you up, Sleeping Beauty. So rise and shine, sunshine!"
"Leave me alone!"
"School starts soon. Dad said he drive us there. You don't want to be late in your first day, don't you?"
I woke up, groaning. "Fine." And went to my bathroom.
(Somewhere within the city)
Aya's POV.
I woke up as usual at 5:00 a.m. and got ready for school. I am officialy in the third grade. Soon I will finish and go to colege. I already planned a big part of my life.
So I get up from bed and go into bathroom where I take a shower for exactly 15 minutes. I dress in a pretty green dress, white boots and I put on a necklace I got from Carol for my birthday. I leave my hair loosen, I usually wear it into a ponytail or a braid on my left side, but I want to do something special. I don't know why, but I have had a feeling since yesterday that something is going to happen. I don't know what but I want to be ready for it.
I take my bag and go downstairs. It is still early but I prefere to wait than to be waited. There, Mr. Jordan is waiting for me.
"Morning, Aya."
"Good morning, Hal."
Despite being in his custody for a whole year, I am still not used to call him 'dad' or Carol 'mom'. Speaking of, Carol is right behind me, ready to go to High School. As a teacher of computer science I suppose she has to be there earlier than Hal. He is an English teacher for almost all grades, excepting the first one where he was replaced by Guy Gardner. Appa's order.
We had a quick breakfast and Carol goes to school. It's 6 a.m. and I have a free hour until me and Hal leave. I go upstaits to my room and take my phone. Hal gave it to me as a gift for my birthday. I really had fun then. It is in Autumn, 24 October.
(At the High School)
We left at 7 p.m. as usual. Hal drove me to the Lantern High in his dark green car. I keep staring out the window like expecting something to happen, someone to appear. Don't ask, I am not aware of the reason why I am doing that.
I try to focus on something else. Hal is talking to me. I do hear him but I do not understand.
"Aya? Aya, did you hear me?"
"Huh? Yes, I was merely distrac-" I stop midsentence when I see him. A red-haired boy with somber blue eyes. He wears a black shirt with a red circle and two vertical lines on it (you know, the Red Lantern symbol, I don't know to describe it), a red jacket that compliments his muscled hands, black jeans and black boots. I cannot help but admire him. I believe he is the new student about whom Hal told me. For someone of my age, he is muscular and well-built, as Hal would say. He is handsome and... the car pass him. I hope to see him again.
I shook my head. What is the problem with me? I have never felt like that. It's like I am in a trance.
After a few minutes we arrive but I still think about that boy. I don't get out from the car and I believe I am worrying Hal.
"Aya? We are here."
"Oh. I apologize. I was not aware."
"It's okay. Just be careful, okay?"
"Yes."
I get out from the car and go towards Saint Walker. He is my best friend. He has brown, almost black eyes and wears his shoulder-hength hair in a ponytail. I believe he is hippie. I pass Bleez, a member of the Red Gang, and go straight to Saint.
"Hello, Saint."
"Hello, Aya."
He wears a blue shirt, black jeans and grey boots. I was ready to ask him something when I laid my eyes over the boy from earlier. He was talking with Atros, the leader of the Red Gang, Zox and Bleez, his second and third in command. My heart skipped a beat when I saw him. He is really handsome and I cannot help but stare.
"Aya? Are you alright?"
"Yes, I am fine." I lied. My first lie and it's about a boy.
Razer's POV.
I arrived at Lantern High. I already see that my first day will be horible. And I was so right.
After I arrived, a black-haired girl came to me. She wears a red shirt, skin-tight black knee-length skirt and red boots. Her hair is loosen and she has brown, almost black eyes. I can read hate and rage within them. I know she will be trouble. She tried to flirt with me. She said her name is Bleez or something like that. I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention to her. Well, until two boys came. Zox and Atros. They told me something about a Red Gang, more members and other things I didn't catch. I rolled my eyes when they told me how brave Atros is. That was when I saw her. She was looking in my dirrection. I cannot believe that. She looks like Ilana. Not much, but her face is pretty similar. She has long blonde, almost white hair and piercing blue eyes. She wears a green dress, white boots and a necklace. Gift from her boyfriend I assume. It is impossible for someone as stunning as she is not to have a boyfriend. Wait, what? What's the problem with me? Stop that thoughts, Razer! Remember Ilana. You cannot...
"RAZER!" Yelled Bleez. Ouch, she sure knows how to make someone pay attention to her.
"What?" I growled.
"I asked you if you want to be a member of the Red Gang." She answers while rolling her eyes.
"Not interested." I say and try to leave, but Atros put in my way.
"Get away!"
"Uh-huh. No one, and I mean no one, will decline such kind of invitation!"
"I don't care. I did and now I want to leave."
"This boy is good for nothing, Atros." Says Zox. "Let him go. He is useless."
"What?" I growled again. "Don't you dare saying something like that again!" And with that I punch him hard in his face, leaving a bloody lip behind. I continue to punch him and I leave some bruises on his face. Not that I'm complaining. Several minutes later, that girl came to us and tried to separe me from Zox.
"Stop! Leave him alone!" Her voice was like a song, so sweet and... ouch,.I received a punch from Zox.
A teacher comes to us and he does manage to separe us.
"Zox, kid, get back!"
Another teacher, the coach I assume, a very very big man, grabs Zox by his bag as the first teacher grabs me by my jacket.
"Come with me, kid!"
"As if I have another choice." I say while rolling my eyes.
"Well, you don't have."
We go to a class and he put me sit on a chair. I refuse.
"Sit!"
I compied, grumpling.
"I am Hal Jordan. Your name?"
"Razer."
"And?"
"Razer Meycha."
"Strange name."
"I don't remember asking your opinion."
"Stop being like that! You are smart enough to know not to start a fight with a teacher. Especially if that teacher is your class master."
"You have to be kidding me!"
"What is your problem anyway? Starting a fight with Zox? You have to be crazy to do that. You're lucky I haven't brought you to the principal, Appa."
"I'm sure."
"Why is your last name like that?"
"Because I use my real father's last name. Happy now?"
"What happened to him?"
"He died. My mother got married. I don't like using my step father's name. End of the story."
"Right. However, if you want to live you shouldn't beat Zox up again."
"He was literally screaming like a little girl."
"Yeah, I heard it. But his is dangerous, kid. The Red Gang means trouble for everyone who dares to do what you did. And believe me, no one else did."
"I don't need your advice. I know and I can take care of myself. Now, can I leave?"
"Not yet. Wait me for a second."
He goes out and returns shortly with the same girl from earlier. What is she doing? Does she follow me?
"Kid, she is Aya, my daughter."
"Adoptive daughter." She corrected him.
"Right. She is the smartest person from this city."
"And? You want me to take care of her or something?"
"No. I want her to take care of you."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Nope. It's not a joke. And I didn't mean in the literally sence. She knows every part of this city and she knows where every class is. She will show you around."
"I don't need a babysitter."
"She is not. You are going to like her soon, trust me. But I give you an advice: don't try anything with her. She doesn't have too much experience with emotions."
"Why are you telling me that. It's not like I am going to..."
Aya cleared her throat while looking at me. I don't know why but it feels good to gaze into her eyes. She gives me a look full of mercy and... is that compassion? I am seeing things. Why would she feel compassion towards myself? Or even mercy?
"Hello!" She says softly. "I am Aya Jordan."
"Razer." I say shaking her petite hand.
"Nice to meet you, Razer."
"Yeah, me too, Aya."
Mrs. Jordan clears his throat bringing me back from my temporary trance.
"I believe Kilowog and Zox returned from the principal."
And a second later, the coach and Zox enter.
"You!" Says Zox.
"I would say I'm glad to see you again, but I would lie."
He growled and Kilowog, I assume, hit him over his head. Mrs. Jordan says to me:
"You should apologize for hurting him, kid."
I nod. "I am sorry for hitting you Zox. Please, accept my sincer apology for perhaps permanently damaging your ugliness." I said it with an evil smirk.
And he has steam out his ears.
Aya elbowed me as well as she could.
"You are not a bad person, Razer. I know it."
What was that? She barely knows me. Where came that phase from? It doesn't matter.
Normal POV.
Out of the High School, Atros, Zox and Bleez grinned.
"Good job, Zox!" Said Atros.
"Thank you."
Bleez rolled her eyes. "You had a pretty good plan. We now know he will be a great member in our gang.
"Indeed." Said Atros.
(A few weeks later)
Razer's POV.
Another day to school. In that first day I had an exactly one hour lecture from Aya about not hitting people even if they try their best to make me beat them. Mr. Jordan was right. I started to like her. She is incredible smart and has this aura around her. She is a bit naive yet she knows what she wants. She is organised and meticulous and... Stop that, Razer! Anyway, I learned she doesn't had a boyfriend. Ascually she has never had one. Wait, why am I interested in this? It doesn't matter. I met her best friend, Saint Walker. He is weird, always happy and full of hope. He is the leader of the Blue Gang, or something like that. Did I mention Aya wants to be a member of the Green Gang? Ugh, not again. It appears that this High School has a gang for every color. And the members of one of those gangs wears clother with the gang's color. Weird. I was accepted into the Red Gang. Atros liked how I have made Zox scream and he made me a member. I am not too happy but that's it. I don't have restrictions about talking or staying with someone from another gang so I am not complaining. Not that I stay with someone else than Aya and Saint Walker or the Red Gang.
However, I get ready for school. I go downstairs and I find a surprise.
"Hello, Razer." Says Aya.
I feel myself blushing. "Aya? What are you doing in my house?"
"Your mother let me in. We should work at our school project from biology."
"We will do that in weekend, Aya."
"Today is Saturday." She says, titling her head to the side. I took my phone and look at the display of hour and day. O can read 'seven a.m.' and 'saturday, 24 October'. I groan and Aya approaches me.
"Are you alright, Razer?"
"Yeah. I though today was... it doesn't matter."
She smiles warmly at me. And right then Iolande had to come downstairs.
"Hey, lover-boy! Who is she?"
"Aya Jordan." She answeres before I could have opened my mouth.
"Hi, Aya. I am Iolande."
"You are Razer's sister?"
"Step sister. But yeah. So what are you doing here? Has he already got over Ilana?"
"Who is Ilana? And what did you mean by 'getting over Ilana'?"
"Oh, so you don't know?"
"Know what?"
"Ilana is... was Razer's girlfriend."
"What happened to her?"
"She died."
Aya's eyes grow wide. I didn't tell her about Ilana. Actually I didn't tell anyone. But Iolande's gift is to make me even more upset and sad.
"Iolande, don't you have anything good to do than to talk about my past with my classmate?"
"Classmate? I thought..."
"You were wrong."
She blushes and looks down, guilty. After that she goes upstairs to her room.
I return my attention towards Aya who is looking at me with... compassion.
"What?"
"N-nothing."
"Whatever."
I look at her again and admire her. She wears white jeans, a light green shirt with blue flowers on it and black shoes. Her hair is caught in a ponytail and she has two cute butterflies earrings.
'Razer? Shall we star our project?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Um... do you... do you care to stay into the living room... or into my room?" I says while blushing.
"I believe your room would be appropiate for our purpose."
"Um... yeah. Follow me." I says while turning around, trying to hide my almost red cheeks. The way she said it... it was weird.
(In my room)
We have been working at that project for a while now and we still have a lot to do. It was almost twelve p.m. but Aya doesn't seem to be bothered. Mr. Jordan called her twice while Carol called her for the forth time half an hour ago.
"Aya? What is in your mind? You aren't paying attention to me."
"I apologize, Razer. I was wondering... if... if you could tell me..."
"Yes?" I urge her.
"If you could tell me how... Ilana was."
My eyes grew wide. "What? Why?"
"Because I want to get to know you better. It is what friends do, isn't it? Talking about their lifes, interests and..."
"Not interested."
"But..."
"I don't want to talk about my past with you!" I say, a bit too harsh.
She lowers her eyes. "I should go. We will finish our project in other day."
"Aya, wait!"
But she was already up. She took her bag and got out. I followed her.
"Aya, please, wait. I didn't mean to be like that."
"It doesn't matter, Razer."
"Yes, it does."
She is faster than I gave her credit for. She is already downstairs. "Aya. Don't go. Not yet. Please."
She turnes her head to look at me. "I really should go."
"Why?"
But she doesn't answer. She turned her head and closed her eyes. I saw tears in them. I made her cry. I am such an idiot. "Aya, I am sorry. I didn't want to upset you."
She doesn't listen to me. She goes out and leaves.
"Great! Just great!" And if an upset and crying girl isn't enough, to add fuel to the already burning fire, Mr. Jordan is going to kill me. Great! Isn't that great?
I followed her, trying not to be seen. We arrived at her house and she entered. I stayed there a few minutes and made my mind up. Heh, I will die anyway. So I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon the door openes and:
"Kid? Aya has just come from your house. What are you doing here?"
"I... I wanted to talk to her."
"About what?"
"I... um..."
"Come in."
Weird. No yelling for making her cry. I entered and went to Aya's room.
"Aya? It's Razer."
"What are you doing here?"
Like father, like daughter.
"Please, open the door."
She complied and let me in. She is already changed into a light pink tank top and green pants.
"Aya, I am sorry for upsetting you and making you cry due to my words."
"I am not upset because of that, Razer."
"Then why?"
"You promised you would give something nice for my birthday but you didn't do that. Actually you didn't remember."
I blinked trying to remember and it hit me. Today is her birthday.
"Aya, I am so sorry. I forgot it is..."
She places her finger on my lips, shushing me. "It is alright."
"No, it's not. I promised you something and I want to keep that promise. How about going somewhere, only me and you?"
"It sounds good."
"Great! What do you think about going to a movie?"
"I like your idea, Razer. But we should return before 6 p.m."
"Why?"
"Hal organised a party for me. You are also invited."
"I will come. Let's go now."
She nods with a big smile across her face.
We returned for the film to her house. I partake at her birthday party which was really good. I bought her a lovely necklace which she did like.
(A few months later)
Razer's POV.
I started to get away from the Red Gang until I get out from it. It is spring and Saturday me and Aya planned to have a day only for us. I started to stop thinking about Ilana all the time and I shared a few memories with Aya and Saint. Mostly with Aya.
I went to Mr. Jordan's house and rang the bell. I was dressed in black jeans, a blue shirt, my favorite red jacket and black boots. Aya got out wearing a light blue tank top, a green skirt, white shoes with roughly 5 inches heels and the necklace I gave her.
"Hello, Razer."
"Hi. Ready to go?"
"Yes."
I smile and remember the discution I had with Iolande a few days ago. She adviced me to have the courage to invite Aya to a date.
We went to a movie and then to Central Park where we are walking. I have my arm around her waist and she smiled brightly. Sudenly, she grips my forearm.
"Aya, is everything alright?" I ask, looking at her with concern. Her eyes shine with excitement and she has a very very big smile across her face. She doesnt answer. Instead she starts running somewhere. Only she knows where.
"Aya, wait!" I yell and run after her. It was only a matter of seconds until I catch up with her. I grip her arm, stopping her.
"What... was that?" I ask, panting.
She pointed towards something.
"Ice-cream? All this for ice-cream?" I ask. She nods and makes the cutest face I ever saw: puppy dog eyes and a trembling lower lip.
"Pleasepleasepleaseplasepleaseplaesepleaseplease!"
I sigh. "You didn't have to do that. Okay, what flavor do you prefer?"
"Um... mint."
I laugh and pull her closer to me. 'Come on, Aya."
We went to the ice-cream seller and I ordered two ice-creams with mint flavor.
"Here, little lady."
"Thank you." She says and start eating. I pay and take her free hand in my own.
We finished our ice-creams and she smiles brightly at me.
"Thank you, Razer."
I ruffle her hair. "You are welcomed. How could I say 'no' to such a cute face?"
I hear her muttering a whispered 'thank you'. She is way too cute.
"Razer?"
"Yeah?"
"I should return home."
"Good idea. I don't want another of Mr. Jordan's lectures."
She giggles at my comment. I take her hand and kiss it softly. I don't want to overwhelm or something. I do like her but I want to make sure she also likes me.
"Let's go."
She nods and we leave, hand in hand, leaving the park behind. I observed a shadow but I did't see who it was. And honestly I wasn't really paying attention. But I wish I had.
(Monday at High School)
Razer's POV.
It's 11 p.m.. Two more hours and I go home. Aya has been with her head in the clouds all day. I think it's because our date from Saturday. I am not sure but this could be the only rational reason. Anyway, I walk on the hallway to my locker which happens to be next from Aya's. She is already there despite getting out after me.
"Hey!" I greet.
"Hello."
"You okay?"
"I have problems with my locker. The combination doesn't work."
"Let me try."
She nods and get a few feet away. I know the combination. "Let's see.". 2 8 1 4. And it worked. "Here. It's ready."
"Thank you." She says while taking her books.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes. Why is the reason you keep asking me that."
"You have been with your head in the clouds all day. And now your locker? It works as it has to. But you don't."
"I don't know what happens to me." She whisperes, staring at the floor. "Since Saturday I find it hard to focus on more tasks. I can barely concentrate at school and keep thinking about one thing."
"About what?" I ask, already knowing the answer.
"You. I am not able to stop thinking about you and about our time together."
"Aya..."
"Do you know what's wrong with me?" She asks, lifting her eyes. I can see tears down her face. I hate to see her crying! Her voice is pleading me to give her an answer. The studens aren't paying attention to us. Perfect. I approach her and take her hands.
"There is nothing wrong with you, Aya."
"Then why..."
"Well, um... Do you like me, Aya?"
"Yes. We are friends. Why wouldn't I like you?"
"Not in that way." I say, my cheeks burning. "I mean... as a person, do you like me?"
She titles her head to the side. "Well, I like how you dress, I like your behaviour towards myself and my family, I like your smile and your eyes and how you can make me smile when I am sad, I like your hair and personality and..."
"Aya, it's enough." I say and blush even harder. She looks at me with wide, curious eyes. Yet I see hope in them.
"In other words, I do like you, Razer." She blushes and looks down at her feet again.
I approach her, cup her chin between my thumb and forefinger and lift her head up.
"I like you too, Aya."
She smiles brightly and I have the urge to close the distance between our faces. I do so and start closing my eyes. The bell rang two minutes ago, only me and her are on the hallway. We don't care if we will be late. We care only that the other is here. I feel her arms shyly wrappind around my neck as I place my hands on her waist. I see her closing her eyes and I finally close mine. We were ready to share our first kiss when:
"Ahem!"
I pull back from her as she blushes and looks down again. I also blush when I see Mr. Jordan staying there with a scowl on his face. I'm in trouble. Behind him I see a black-haired girl. Bleez. He turns around and says to her:
"Thank you, Bleez. It is good to know someone still cares about school these days."
I know he is talking about me and Aya. Bleez smiles.
"My pleasure, Mr. Jordan."
"Get back to your class now."
She nods and leave with a wicked grin. I hear Aya's voice from behind me asking timidly:
"I am in trouble, am I not?"
"Both of you are. What were you thinking, lover-boy?"
"Actually, I doubt that I was thinking something then."
"At least you are honest. What about you, Aya? We have a few things to talk about, little lady!"
"I... I know. I am sorry, I only wanted..."
"You two are lucky it was me who Bleez came to. If there have been someone else you would have been in trouble. I won't punish you. But you have to stop for doing that in school. Do you understand me?"
"Yes." We answered together.
"Good. We will talk later about this, lover-boy!"
I gulp. Something tells me it will be a long talk.
"Go to your class."
"But our class is with you." Says Aya, a bit confused.
"I know. Go and wait for me."
I nod and grab Aya by her hand, careful not to hurt her.
(One hour later)
Aya's POV.
I stayed longer in Hal's class to talk to him. I wanted him to know Razer has done it with my permission. I don't want Hal to hurt Razer. Unfortunately, he had to go but he promised he will return soon. I wait patiently at my desck. I hope he will listen to me.
Razer's POV.
Aya stayed to talk to Mr. Jordan. I left because I didn't want to be involved. But I already am. Anyway, all the studens got out and I walk through the hallway. I heard something and when I turn around I see a long black hair fluttering behind a person who entered a classroom. Probably it's Bleez. I wonder what is she planning. Usually she isn't the one who talks to theacers.
I shake my head and continue walking.
Aya's POV.
It's been a couple of minutes since I wait Hal. I feel a strange smell. Like smoke. But that's impossible, isn't it? And then I saw it. Fire. At the door. No... no... no. I have to get out of here.
Hal's POV.
I left Aya in my classroom and went to talk to Carol. I didn't finde her in school so I got out. The kids are talking to each other and enjoy the nice spring day. I see Carol and go to her. That is when we heard a scream. More studens get out from school, screaming. Razer is in a corner, startled. What's going on? I felt a strange smell. Smoke, I realized. All of us did. One of the classrooms is burning. I can see the flames. And it's my class. Aya.
"Carol..."
She doesn't hear me. Well, she called for help. In a few moments the firemen came. All the students are out, I hope.
Razer approaches me.
Razer's POV.
I saw more students running and screaming. The answer was simple: a fire. I am confused and worried. Where is Aya? I look around me for a few minutes and the firemen came.
I approach Mr. Jordan and his wife.
"Where is Aya?" He asks.
"I thought she is with you." I answer.
Carol's eyes grew wide. "No. No... no. Aya? Aya?" She screamed, to no avail. I have a hunch where she could be. I know I should tell someone but I cannot. My legs are drawing me to the building. I run as fast as I could to Mr. Jordan's classroom and where I last saw Aya. I can barely breath but I don't care. All I care is to find and save Aya. I have to.
That's it. I found her. The class is on fire. I open the door and I find more fire. I cough, trying to breath. Finally I see her. She is on the floor, her hair on her face. She is passed out. I have to do something. I enter and go straight to her.
"Aya? Aya, can you hear me?"
She groans and opens her eyes. I brush the hair out of her face. 'Razer... You came back for me..." she says and coughs.
"Always." I whisper and lift her up bridal style. I carry her. She has a ligh-wight yet I still to go down two floors. I can barely walk and breath but I know I have to get her somewhere safe.
The fire extinded fast. Faster than me. When I came in it was only at the floor Aya was. But now it is everywhere. The smoke is insuportable and I know Aya cannot breath well. She cough.
"Razer."
"Shhh. Everything will be okay."
"Razer... I... I am... sorry." She can barely speak. It is only my fault. If I have stayed with her.
'Aya, it's okay... I am fine." But I lied to her. I am not fine. Too much smoke. My vision becomes blurry and I cannot see well. I have just to make a few more steps and I get to the door. I hear Aya groaning and I know she passed out again. I see people entering and then nothing. I collaps...
(Several hours later)
Razer's POV.
I wake up in a new place hearing my mom's voice. She is outside talking to someone.
"He has to be okay!" I recognized the voice as Iolande's.
"He will be, Iolande. I know you are worried, I am too, but please, keep your voice down". Says my step father. I started to give him the respect he deserves, thanks to Aya, and I use his last name now.
My eyes grow wide. Aya. I forgot about her. Where is she? I turn my head to find her on another hospital bed. She is passed out. Yet she is alright. I groan as I feel my head hurting. I have the mother of the headaches.
A doctor came in. "Oh, you woke up."
My family came in. I can see tears marks on their faces. Iolande is still crying. I have had no idea my step sister cares about me. "You okay, Ray? I mean..."
"Hey, it's okay. Yeah, I am fine."
Mr. Jordan and Carol get in straight to Aya. The doctor spoke:
"She will be alright but because of the smoke she inhaled it would take a while for her to wake up."
"Sayd..." said Mr. Jordan. So her name is 'Sayd'. She is a tall woman with blonde hair and turquoise eyes.
Mr. Jordan turns his attention towards me. "Thank you, kid. You saved her."
"I did what it was necessary. You don't have to thank me."
"No. You were a hero."
"I am not."
"Kid, it's not your fault, you know? You couldn't have known..."
"Actually it is. I saw someone sneaking around but I payed no attention to her. I believe she put the fire."
"She?" Ask Mr. Jordan and Carol in unison.
"Yes. I believe it was..."
A soft moan interrupted me. We looked towards Aya who is opening her eyes.
"Hal? Carol? What... what's going on?"
"Honey..." says Carol. "You don't remember?"
"I..." she closes her eyes trying to remember. "No... Fire everywhere. It was a fire."
Hal opens his mouth and speaks:
"Yeah. But you are okay now. Razer saved you."
"Really?"
"Yes. He is your hero." Says Carol. I blush. It's nice what they said about me but I don't deserve it.
Doctor Sayd ushered them out under the pretext we need to rest. I feel better than her and this is the reason I choose to go to her bed.
"How do you feel?"
"Fine. You don't need to worry about me, Razer. Your rescue was well timed."
"So you do remember."
"Yes."
"Do you remember something else? Like, I don't know, someone near your class, or a sound or..."
"No."
I sigh.
"Razer?"
"Yes?"
"Would you care to join me?"
I blink trying to understand what she meant. She makes some room into her bed and it hits me. I see her blushing and lowering her eyes. Why not? I decided and lied down, next to her. I slid my arm under her and she rest her head on my shoulder. I feel her shifting and she places her left hand on my chest. I kiss her forehead and she closes her eyes.
"Razer?"
"Yes?"
"I like it when you kiss me."
I caress her back while lifting her head up with my free hand. I kiss her forehead again and she smiles. "Then our first kiss will be unforgettable for both of us."
I close my eyes and hear her giggling. She is way too cute!
She fell asleep quickly with her ear listening to the steady beating of my heart. I close my eyes, content with being here, being with her. With the one I care about and who I love. The door openes and I hear Mr. Jordan's voice:
"Surely I will have a serious tatk with both of them."
"Come on, Hal! Don't be such a cock-block."
At least Carol is on my side. "Let them rest now. We will talk together to them when they get better."
Or not.
(Almost one week later, Sunday)
Aya' POV.
I am so happy. Me and Razer started a relationship after the events with the fire. Bleez has been punished for putting the fire in the first place. She was put to help to clean and restore the school as well as she can.
Hal and Carol had a very long talk with me and Razer after we got out from the hospital. They understood we are in love with each other and gave us their permission and 'blessing', as they say.
Anyway, because it will take time to put everything in order, because some places from the High School were destroyed and others were not, we will have our hours as well as we can with the builders there, and the noise. The classrooms will be repartisated for every class and grade. At least 30% from the High School was destroyed.
However, due to our blooming relationship, me and Razer got out this morning. I wanted to spend the whole day with him so we left from my house at 8 a.m.. I wear a pretty white dress with a green belt around my middle, white shoes and the necklase I have from him. My hair is loosen. He wears a dark blue shirt, dark blue jeans, black boots and his favorite red jacket.
We took breakfast at a small local from the Center and then went to see a romantic movie. My choice, not his. After that we went to the Central Park to walk. He bought me ice-cream with mint flavor, my favorite, and we continued our walk. We talked and he finally decided to bring me home.
We are walking on the street. We have a few more houses and get to mine. But I don't want to. Well, not yet.
Razer's POV.
I accompany Aya to her house. It is almost eight p.m.. It appears that we have been gone for 12 hours. We have only a few more houses.
We are here. I take her hands in mine as she looks down, blushing. I close the distance between us and let one of her hands to cup her chin between my thumb and index finger. She places her free hand on my chest.
"Razer..." she whispers softly.
I lift her head up and she smiles at me. With our height difference, even though she wears heel, she has to stay on her tip toes to reach my level. I bent down and she leans up. Our lips were only a few milimeters away when:
"Ahem!"
Not again, I inwardly groaned. Mr. Jordan is in the door with his arms crossed over his chest. Carol is behind him and she slaps him.
"Hey!"
"I told you not to do that, you giant cock-block!"
She smiled at us. "Don't worry, kids. We will get inside. You two take your time and continue."
And with that they entered. I made sure they were really gone before I ressumed what we were doing.
This time, though, I place my hands on her forearms while she wrapped her arms around my back. She stays on her tip toes and leans up. I bent down and kiss her softly. It is a gentle kiss, not totally overwhelming. I want her to feel comfortable. After a few moments she sightly parted her lips, deepening the kiss and letting me explore her mouth with my tongue.
We pull back only when the need to breath is too great for us. She looks into my eyes and I can see the love within her beautiful eyes.
"Would you like to stay for dinner? I doubt that Hal will be upset."
"Why not?" I say and take her hand. We enter her house and I can see another talk with Mr. Jordan. Well, now I don't really care. All that matters for me now is that I have Aya. She is all that matters.
