Casey and Lee walked into the school building and everyone surrounded Lee making Casey losing a hold of his hand. Lee started to flirt with all the girls and Casey could feel the anger rise in her. She turned and walked off to her homeroom. Lee looked at Casey walking off and frowned. ~ Blew it already! ~ Lee thought. He really loved Casey, but he was only 12 and didn't know how to act when he was with her at school. Casey looked behind her as Lee looked at a girl who was totally in love with Lee, her name was Lilly. Casey fumed and walked into her homeroom. She saw her friends Annie and Lice and walked over to her.
"Ahh! Casey you're back!" Lice said jumping up hugging her. Casey laughed and hugged her back. Annie hugged her and then the three sat down.
"Ok spill Casey, I saw you and Lee holding hands walking to school." Annie said cutting to the chase. Casey looked down fiddling with her handle of her hand held book bag. "Well?!" Casey looked up.
"I don't know what we are." Casey said softly.
"How can you not know if you two are an item!" Lice cried. "You two looked perfect together." Casey shook her head.
"Tell that to Lee, as soon as we walked into school he started flirting with Lilly." Casey said. The two girls gasped.
"I can't believe him!" Annie cried.
"What kind of boyfriend is he!" Lice added. Casey shook her head again.
"I told you, I don't know if we're going out." Casey sighed. "It would sure be nice to know if I did." They nodded as a guy came walking over.
"Oh hi Matt!" Lice greeted. The three girls looked up at him. He had blond hair and crystal blue eyes.
"Matt this is Casey, she's the one from the US." Annie said.
"Hey." Matt said coolly.
"Hi." Casey said almost shyly. Matt pulled up a chair next to Casey and sat down in it backwards. They started talking and laughing, Matt hitting on Casey every now and then.

Lee walked into his homeroom, which was the same as Casey. He had Lilly clung to his right arm. He looked up as he heard Casey's musicale laugh. She was sitting next to some guy he had never seen. He felt his face go slightly red with anger.
"Ok class, to your seats!" The teacher barked. Lee took a seat a couple down and two back from Casey. He was sitting with Lilly and all her friends. "Ok now I understand that Casey Sanden and Lee Soike are back?" The whole class nodded. "Well let's have them stand up." Casey and Lee stood up, Casey had a smile plastered across her face and Lee had a mad look on his. "Ok Casey why don't you tell us what you did in the US." Casey nodded.
"Well I went back to Oregon to be the Maid of Honor for my older sister's wedding." Casey said. Lee smiled thinking of what Casey would look like in a wedding dress. "Then I was sent back up here to stay with my older cousin Ryo Sanden." The teacher nodded and she took her seat.
"And Lee where were you?" Lee looked up and stopped smiling.
"I was on vacation in France with one of my family members." Lee said. The teacher nodded and he took his seat. The rest of the time was spent talking. Lee felt something tugging at his mind and looked at Casey who had just looked at him.
~ Meet me at our locker. ~ Lee sent a telepathic message to Casey.
~ Alright. ~ Casey answered. Then the bell rang and the class flooded out. Casey stood by her locker for five minutes, and still Lee didn't show up. She felt angry but still waited for him. The late bell rang and Casey cursed and ran off to her class.
@~~~~~,'~~~~,~~~`~~~~~~~~~~~~
A young girl with reddish blond hair hissed a cruse and ran off as the late bell rang. Two hazel eyes watched her. A girl about 19 stepped out from the shadows. She had hunter green hair and bright hazel eyes and was about 5'9.
"So you are the Spirit Warrior, not very reliable." She said quietly. She was wearing a light purple dress that had long sleeves. She turned around sending her hair flying. She walked down the halls the only sound was her shoes making clicking sounds. A bright green light surrounded her and she was gone.
@~~~~,'~~~~~,~~~~'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Casey was spacing out as her history teacher gave a lecture on some kind of war. She was thinking about Lee. He had been acting weird lately and she wanted to know why. Then he had said to meet him out at her locker and he didn't. ~ I wonder if something is wrong? ~ Casey thought.
"Miss. Sanden are you listing!" The teacher said slamming her book down on Casey desk. Casey jumped and looked up at her.
"Um, well, not really." Casey said. The teacher smirked.
"You should be listing since you were late almost ten minutes." She said and continued with the lesson. Casey shook her head hoping that she wouldn't have to hold the two buckets of water after class. The bell rang and the class flooded out.
"Oh Miss. Sanden may I talk to you please?" Casey spun around and nodded. She walked over to the teachers desk. She had long black hair with green eyes. She was almost 5'4", very short. "Lee wanted me to give this to you." She handed her a note that had her name written across it in green pen.
"Thanks." Casey said slowly taking the note and running off. The teacher watched as she ran off. Then a bright green light filled the room and she looked over. There stood the girl was hunter green hair.
"Did she take it Michelle?" She asked the teacher. Michelle nodded. The door shut on it's own and Michelle ripped off her clothes leaving her in a tight black dress that went in a V in the front.
"The Warrior of Spirit will learn her lesson in Destiny and Fate." Michelle said standing up. The other girl smirked.
"Just watch out for your own girl Michelle." She said. Michelle nodded.
"And you watch out for Shadow Tristin." Michelle said as the girl left.

Casey held her tray tightly as her, Annie and Lice walked trough the crowed lunch court. "C'mon, lets eat outside where all the guys are." Lice said leading them outside. Casey stepped out and the cool breeze rushed past her. She took a deep breath of fresh air and then followed the others out to the green grass. Casey sat down next to Lice. She glanced down at the note on her tray,
"Hey Case, who's that from?" Annie asked pointing to the note.
"Um, Lee I think." Casey said.
"Awwwww! It's a love letter!" Lice said batting her eyelashes.
"No it's not." Casey said.
"How do you know?" Annie said.
"Cause I just do. And anyway I'm mad at him, he totally ditched me after homeroom. I was suppose to meet him at my locker, but he was a no show." Casey said picking up the note in both her hands.
"Well he's looking at you right now." Annie said Casey peeked up and saw Lee looking at her.
"I say he's got it bad for you!" Lice jabbed Casey in the arm.
"Yeah whatever." Casey said opening the note. She scanned it.
Casey,
Meet me at the old weeping willow at midnight tonight, I'll be waiting.
Lee.
Casey frowned. ~ He had to pick the weeping willow, and at midnight two! ~ Casey's mind whined. She hated going there at late hours of the night.
"Midnight huh." Annie said as she and Lice read the small note. Casey nodded.
"What are you wearing?" Lice asked. Casey started to chock on her apple she had just bit into. She shook her head. "You ok girl?"
"Yeah, what do you mean?! He's probably just going to say sorry about ditching me or something, I think jeans and a T-shirt will be fine." Casey said as Lice frowned.
"No way!" Lice and Annie cried.
"That's what I'm wearing." Casey said standing up with her tray and snagging the note. She dumped her tray at the near by trash can. Casey walked back into the school and the first lunch bell rang. She hurried off to her locker and grabbed her books. She slammed her locker shut and almost screamed to see Lee leaning against the locker next to her. "I don't wanna talk to you.' Casey said walking past him. Lee grabbed her arm and turned her around but Lilly came running up next to her.
"Lee come on, walk me to my next class." Lilly said pulling him off. For once Casey was thankful Lilly had pulled him away. She quickly ran off to music class. She sat down next to her new friend Illicea.
"Hey, hows your day going so far?" Illicea asked. Casey sighed pushing her books under her chair. "Bad I take it?" Casey nodded.
"You?" Illicea smirked.
"Pretty darn good now that he just walked in." Illicea said. Casey looked over at the door as Lee walked in.
"Man I didn't wanna see him right now." Casey said and watched Lee take a seat next to a girl name Tina.
"He's your bad day!" Illicea almost shouted as Casey nodded. The music teacher came in.
"Alright class. Welcome everybody. Let's get the music words passed out ok!" She started handing out thick folders. Casey took hers and opened it. There were a whole bunch of words for solos.
"Why are these only songs that only one person can sing?" Casey asked Illicea.
"Cause we're working on singing solos or duets." Illicea said. Casey gulped. She had a good voice but she had never sang in front of a lot of people. She looked trough the pages. Tina let out a whine as Lee stood up and walked over to Casey and sat down next to her. Illicea jabbed her in the arm and she glared at her.
"Wanna do a duet?" Lee asked out of the blue. Casey looked up at him.
"Um sorry to butt in but, you have to do a solo and a duet." Illicea said then went back to looking trough the words. Casey did the same.
"Casey..." Lee looked at her.
"Why don't you go ask one of your other girls." Casey snapped.
"Cause I want to sing with you, I know I haven't been spending much time with you today...." Casey snorted.
"Lee you said to meet you at my locker and you were a no show." Casey growled. "And I already know what you were doing, walking Lilly to her next class." Lee growled and walked back over to his seat next to Tina.
"Harsh." Illicea said. Casey looked over at her. "I've never seen anyone say that to him."
"Oh." Casey said.
~ Casey I already signed us up as a duet, no backing out now. ~ Lee's voice said to her.
" Stupid Lee." Casey mumbled as Illicea giggled at her comment.
"So what is your solo going to be?" Illicea questioned.
"Don't know yet." Casey said flipping through the papers. She grabbed one and looked it over. "Perfect." She whispered.
"Oh, hero, that's a good one." Casey gasped to see the Teacher sitting next to her.
"Yeah, it's my favorite of hers." Casey said.
"Well you and Lee are up first singing part of 'Where you are.'" The teacher said standing up.
"Mrs. Kaliy is so cool." Illicea said, Casey nodded.
"Ok Lee and Casey are up first singing where you are." Mrs. Kaliy said. Casey and Lee stood up and walked to the front of the room. Mrs. Kaliy handed them microphones. Casey walked off to one side and Lee walked over to the other side. Mrs. Kaliy started the music.
Casey:
there are times
i swear i know your here
when i forget about my fears
feeling you my dear
watching over me
my hopes seek
what the future will bring
when you wrap me in your wings
and take me...
chorus:
where you are
where you and i will be together
once again
we'll be dancing in the moonlight
just like we used to do
and you'll be smiling back at me
only then will i be free
when i can be, where you are
Lee:
and i can see your face
your kiss i still can taste
not a memory erased
Casey:
oh how i see your star
shining down on me
and i do anything
(together) if i can just be right there..
Mrs. Kaliy stopped the music and the class erupted with applause. Lee and Casey bowed and put the microphones back. They went through the list fast, Lee was next.
"Lee what will you be singing?" Mrs. Kaliy asked.
"I knew I loved you." Lee answered. He took hold of the microphone and looked at Casey looking deep into her eyes as Mrs. Kaliy started the music.
Maybe it's intuition
but some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes,
I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound
more than a little crazy
but I believe...

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see
the missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
more than a little crazy
but I believe...

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you
Everyone clapped and whistled as Lee bowed and handed Mrs. Kaliy the microphone. "Miss. Sanden I believe you're up next." Casey nodded and took a deep breath before walking up. She took the microphone. She took a few deep breaths as Mrs. Kaliy put in the music.
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are There's an answer
If you reach in to your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away

Chorus:
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you where it's strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
And you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love
If you reach within yourself
And that emptiness you felt will disappear

Chorus: Repeat

Lord knows dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone tear them away
Hold on there will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way

Chorus: Repeat
Casey bowed as everyone clapped and whistled. Casey handed the Mic to Mrs. Kaliy. She took her seat. Mrs. Kaliy looked at a paper and then looked up.
"Ok now class, I'm going to be splitting you up in groups for a dance. You must make a dance together." She quickly spilt up the classroom, Lee was with the third group, Casey was with the forth along with Illicea. Mrs. Kaliy handed out a paper saying what you must have. Casey giggled and jabbed Illicea. She looked over at Lee, him and some other guy named Kyle were the only guys it their group with Tina and all her preppy friends. Casey's group was all girls.
"Ok so we have to pick our own song." A girl name Mindy said.
"How bout Heartbreaker?" A girl named Jennifer asked.
"No way! Oops...I did it again!" A girl named Britney said. The two started arguing as Mindy tried to stop them. Casey thought.
"How about Try again by Aaliyah?" Casey suggested. Everyone looked at her.
"Hey! That's a good one!" They all said. Then they went on with making up the dance.
"Ok class that's it for today!" Mrs. Kaliy said and the class flooded out.
"Finally the end of the day!" Casey cried spinning around on her way home. Yuile laughed with his friends. Lee was walking across the street.
"Hey Casey why aren't you walking with your boyfriend?!" Yuile asked loud enough for Lee to hear.
"SHUT UP!!!!" Casey smacked Yuile hard with her bag making him cry out in pain. He ran after her and she ran out into the street.
HONK!!!!!
Casey screamed as a car came speeding at her. Casey closed her eyes ducking but never got hit. She landed on the ground hard. She looked up and saw Lee. He had saved her. The others ran over to them
"Casey you ok?" Josh asked. Casey nodded never looking away from Lee.
"Guys c'mon let's leave them a lone." Andy said as they all left.
"You ok?" Lee asked helping her up.
"Yeah, thanks." Casey replied. As they walked in silence. "Hey, why did you pick midnight at the weeping willow?"
"What do you mean?" Casey looked up at him. She took out the note and handed it to him. "I didn't write this." Lee looked over the note.
"Then who did?" Casey asked.
"I don't know, but still go there, I'll go as well." Lee said crossing the street to his house with out saying good bye. Casey sighed and walked home.

Tristin sat in a tree watching Casey and Lee. Then Michelle appeared next to her. The shadows hide them, all but their eyes, which were glowing. "There they go." Michelle hissed. "Did you hear what they were saying?"
"No." Tristin said. "But we'll show Casey what happens when you mess with Destiny." Tristin said her eyes glowing a bright green as Michelle were glowing bright neon blue. "It shall be her last day with him."
