~Yazmina's POV~

I suppose, if you want to compare between our little worlds, fire would be the punks. That's just a loose interpretation, though. Earth would be the treehuggers, air the preps, and water the... well, I don't know. Maybe the activists. These are all very loose interpretations. You should definitely not quote me on them. But the personalities are kind of similar. For example, I give you exhibit a of the war between water and fire.

My friends and I were hanging out, setting things on fire, just having a good time. We had a huge bonfire going on. It was incredible. It was the middle of the night, which only made it better because all of our faces were glowing with a slight orange tint to them because of the firelight. It was great. But some earth chick started whining about how we were burning the grass. And then the "activists" came. The water freaks.

They put out our fire. Bastards! Mind you, we didn't only have a fire going for fun. It was freaking freezing outside. Fire doesn't do well in the cold. So immediately, all of us had fireballs in our hands, ready to throw at the water freaks if they so much as moved wrong. I walked right up to the guy in front, getting in his face. "What the hell?"

"You were upsetting people and burning the school's grass." See what I mean? All they wanted was to make everyone happy and fire miserable. "Besides, you didn't have that long to have a fire. Curfew's coming up." That's the only problem with going to a boarding school: curfew. I hate curfew.

"Whatever. There's not time to argue about this." Everyone started to file out, except for me and the "leader" of sorts. "You're an asshole."

"You have an astounding sense of manners, don't you?"

"Shut up!"

"Calm down." He reached out to touch me and water me down to calm me (one of the horrors water has the capability of), but I slapped his hand away.

"Don't you dare touch me! Get the fuck away from-" the warning bell for curfew came. We both glared at each other for another second or so before leaving each other. I went over to the fire wing and entered my dorm. I collapsed onto my bed.

Rina, me roommate, launched right into complaining. "I can't believe those water jerks!"

"I know. Especially that leader guy. He event tried to use calming water on me!"

"Asshole!"

"I know."

"Want to get back at him?"

"Ok... I'm listening... Got any ideas?"

"I don't know. Could we burn their building down?"

"But they'd just put it out and get us into trouble. Sure, I want to get back at them, but not in a way that I'll get caught so easily."

"We could use fire on them and evaporate their water."

"But they'd end up in the hospital."

"No they wouldn't. It's still water. Just a different state. And water hates change. They'd be so upset."

"Ok. I like it. Do you remember any of them?"

"Just three. They got up in my face trying to freak me out so I punched them." I laughed, but sighed afterwards.

"And I only remember the asshole that tried to calm me down. That's only four people."

"We could talk to Rick tomorrow. He has a great memory. He'll remember."

"Good idea."

"We'll get them good!"

"Hell yeah we will!" We did our secret handshake (fire circle, spin, draw a shape with fire, high five with fiery hands- I wouldn't really expect you to understand) and went to bed. I'd show that asshole why he shouldn't mess with me.

"Well... no. I don't really understand what happened." I started running over it in my head. Was it a dream? Was it real? What was going on? I quickly hid all of those thoughts away before Aiden or Orion could hear them. I didn't want them worried! Everything in my mind revolved around making them happy. I couldn't let them know I was kind of creeped out.

"Come on. Let's go." Aiden dragged me out of the room. I looked over my shoulder at Orion, who I desperately wanted to please, but I couldn't make him happy without disappointing Aiden. I couldn't stand this. I wanted the spell off of me. Now. But in the same sense I didn't. The spell gave me some unnaturally happy state. As long as one of them was happy, I was happy too. I relished the happy feeling. But the cost of it, possibly losing Aiden, wasn't good. I didn't know what I want. And I didn't understand what had just happened. I was so confused. "You ok?"

"Yeah!" No.
