Prologue
"Just because you've ascended does not mean you are the most powerful. It just means that you've become a much bigger ass then you were before." Reid yelled trying to get out of Caleb's grasp. Tyler and Pogue backed away not wanting to get in the middle of this fight. The four boys were at the sight of the old Putnam barn.
"I'm not the one being an ass Reid! Do you know what you did?" Caleb yelled, his eye's as dark as almonds.
"I didn't do anything. I wish you would understand that."
"How can I? You are always playing tricks, using your powers to gain something for yourself. Now, how am I supposed to believe that you weren't the one who sent Sarah away?"
"This is just like last year. You know when you accused me of using too much of my powers, but it wasn't me. Was it?" Reid yelled finally loosing up his grip.
"No, it wasn't you. I apologized for that. You know that, but I know you sent her away? There's no way that she got into Harvard on her own, then she breaks up with me?"
"As I said before, it was not me!" Reid walked away punching through the air around him since there was nothing to hit.
"Um Caleb." Tyler said walking up to Caleb cautiously. "He's right. He didn't do anything. Sarah was accepted to Harvard fair and square. She told you why she was breaking up with you…"
"Yeah man." Pogue said entering the conversation. "You know that she didn't want a whole long-distance relationship. She did it for the two of you. So, don't blame Reid."
"Damnit. I know. I just needed to let off some steam. Damn, now I have to find him and apologize." Caleb started to walk off.
"Not now." Pogue said grabbing a hold of Caleb's arm. "Just back off. Apologize when he cools down."
"You know he's ascending soon, right?" Tyler asked.
"Yeah, he was always the last one." Caleb laughed.
"And he's always hated being the younger one." Pogue added. "He ascends this week."
"That's right. He ascends in 2 days, the 31st of July. " Caleb laughed. "Another reason he hates Harry Potter."
"But don't say that near him." Tyler laughed.
"Guys, do you think he'll be able to handle the ascending? It's going to be extremely tough on him the first few months. Especially since he likes to use his powers."
"Yeah, but Caleb. You're the only one who's staying here. Well, besides Reid." The boys all piled into Caleb's car, still continuing with the conversation.
"Do you both really have to go to college?" Caleb asked starting up the car and racing out of the farm land.
"You know, you could to." Pogue stated.
"I can't, you know that."
"Caleb, your mother will be fine." Pogue said quietly. "She has Tyler's mother and my mother to hang out with when she's lonely."
"Yeah, but I couldn't leave her. Even if I did, I can't get into a good college now. I didn't even send any applications in when we were in high school."
"Why don't you do what Reid's doing?" Tyler mentioned as Caleb sped on through the winding roads.
"And go to a community college? No. Besides, I suffered through high school with him, I don't want to have to deal with him again."
"Well, you know what Caleb? You're going to have to." Caleb's mom yelled.
"Mom. I don't want to go to community college. Worst of all, I don't want the same schedule as Reid." Caleb retorted.
"Caleb! You are 18 years old, aren't you being a little immature about this?"
"All I want to know is why do I have to do this?" Caleb asked, his eyes darkening.
"Because he is one of the sons of Ipswich and he ascends in one day. You know how it was for your father.' She paused wincing at the name. 'You know how hard it will be for him."
"But.."
"No buts. I'm not usually strict with you, but I'm ordering you do to this." She ordered.
"Fine." Caleb gave up fighting and went to his room. 'You know what? I should be out of this house. I should be going to college in a different state, but no…I'm stuck here. In Salem, where it's hell every single day.' Caleb thought as he laid on his bed. 'Wonderful, just wonderful.'
"Hey mom." Reid said entering his house. His mother was sitting on the lounge chair in the living room eating bon-bons like she usually does.
He kissed his mother on the cheek and headed for the stairwell to his room. "Reid?"
Reid paused and turned towards his mother, "Yes mom?"
"Caleb's mother called. Caleb's going to school with you when it starts." She said not knowing that it would make her son mad.
Reid nodded his head and stomped up the stairs and entered his room, "DAMNIT!" He screamed as he entered the room. He didn't like this one bit. He knew he'd be 18 in two days. He knew he'd ascend in two days. Why couldn't his friends or his mother understand that he would be okay? After seeing that guy Chase lose his mind basically, he definitely did not want to turn into that.
'Whatever.' He thought. He'd have to get over the fact that he'd have to suffer seeing Caleb's face. 'Maybe he won't be in the same classes as me.' Reid thought finger combing his slightly longer blond hair.
