Chapter One - Bus Ride

Nita POV

"So, Neets, what're you doing for the break?" Tarah, one of my best friends, asked me.

"I..." Should I tell them? Probably. "I'm going to visit a friend." There, that was the truth.

"Ooo..." Max teased. "A friend. Does this friend of yours happen to be...I dunno...a boyfriend?" I stared at him, horrified. I didn't even know if he still wanted to be my friend! Let alone my boy friend.

"It's just a good friend, Max." I said.

He rolled his eyes.

Cassandra, one of my other best friends, spoke up. "How good of a friend?"

"Really good...although I'm not sure if my friend is still mad at me." I was careful not to say he it'd just set off the teasing. Treasing that I was already receving even though they didn't know if my friend was a boy or a girl.

"Why would your...friend be mad at you?" Tarah asked.

"Well, after Senior graduation, we sort of got in a fight..." Over my sister's alien boyfriend that I found sleeping in her bed. Over who got to help S'reee the whale next time. "Over, well, I found my sister's boyfriend in her bed..." That was enough truth. I wasn't telling them everything, but just enough.

"Have what'd you do?"

"I just yelled at him."

"So your friend IS a boy!" Max exclaimed.

"No, no, no." I said quickly, even though it was true. "My sister's boyfriend, idiot!"

"Oops. Sorry." Max said.

The last bell rang and I got up quickly. "I'll see you guys in a week." I left as quick as possible.

I found an empty room and I reached into my Other Space Pocket. I pulled out my duffel bag, and my manual. I'd finally gotten around to cleaning the pocket about a year ago. I flipped open my manual quickly. Dang it. My status used to say that Kit was my partner. Now, it said we temporaily weren't it hurt me. Kit was my best friend and I missed him. Although, he might not miss me after the big fight we had.

I sighed and pushed to manual back into it's place. I ran outside. People were already dispatching, leaving for wherever they planned to go. I tried in vain to talk to Kit through my mind.

Kit? Please, answer me.

Nothing. Complete silence. It was weird, I was used to hearing him in there constantly. Or even just a slight buzzing.

"Nita!" I spun around. Reid, another wizard, was running towards me. He'd been a good friend, but never a best friend. He was the only wizard I knew of around here. We had never gone on erranty together, he just was...there.

"Hey, Reid." He stopped infront of me and took a deep breath.

"Are you going to see him?" He knew everything about Kit. I had told him, learning I couldn't confine in anybody else. I didn't answer so he repeated, "Well, are you going to see him or not?"

I bit my lip then nodded slowly.

"Well, good. Dai Stiho, cousin." He said.

He turned around and started walking away. Before he could get to far I replied, "Dai, cousin." He glanced back and smiled.

I ran quickly to the bus. I dropped in my Bus Token and took a seat up front.

The ride was only going to be about fifteen-minutes. Luckily, we had chosen college's not to far away from each other. Although, we didn't mean to at first, but, that was how things turned out.

"Nita?" I heard a male, Irish voice asked.

No. Freaking. Way. He couldn't be here! He lived in Ireland for Pete's sake. Geez, dude. I turned around to see Ronan Noland. "Are you stalking me or something? I could call the police."

He smirked at me. "No. Just feel like taking a bus ride."

"In the States? Last time I checked, you lived in Ireland."

He shrugged. "Guess so." I rolled my eyes and turned around.

As soon as the bus stopped, I hopped off. I quickly thanked the driver and ran.

Encountering Ronan had triggered something in me. It reminded me that he was the one I'd shared my first kiss with. Not Kit. Kit who I realized I loved. I couldn't believe it when I figured it out, but the evidence was there. I loved Christiphor Rodreguiezz. My best friend since I was thirteen. But, did he love me? Did he even want to see me again? Or, even worse, did he remember me? Of course he does, Nita. I told myself.

I let my feet lead me to a large dorm building. People here were leaving, to. They had a week break like I did. I pushed open the door quickly and spotted a nice-looking girl. I didn't know what I was doing here...but, then I felt it. I knew Kit was in this building, but where exactly?

"Excuse me." I tapped the girl on the shoulder. She looked up from her book.

"Can I help you?" She asked in a polite voice. Although, I could tell she was slightly irritated that I had disrupted her reading.

"I'm, er, looking for Kit Rodreguiez." I said.

She studied me for a second then said, "Second floor."

I smiled gratefully and said a quick thank you.

I was closer to Kit now. I was going to see my best friend.

A/N: Thanks to anybody who read this. I hope it's some people. The second chapter will be up soon!
