Hello people of Fanfiction, I am very happy to say I got several reviews very quickly. I want to thank wii98 for being the first to review! I also wanted to thank Six's Storm and Kripton for reviewing. I am very excited to post chapter two, without you guys there would be no story. I never imagined I would have readers review one of my stories! I really hope you like this chapter.
Thanks for everything,

Chapter 2- Surprise Feelings
Six's P.O.V.
Once I am in the privacy of my room I take a shower, hoping I can wash away all of the confusion. Unfortunately my soap isn't strong enough to scrub away my feelings. So I cry, hard. I cry as I hear the knocking at the door. I ignore the knocking and keep crying. My tears are tears of confusion, surprisingly not tears of anger. I just can't force myself to be angry, I don't know why. Nine infuriates me, I think the only reason I'm not mad is because surprisingly I don't feel like I need to scrub myself with antibacterial soap after kissing him. I would never admit it at loud, but I actually didn't hate kissing Nine. I get out of the shower and change into gray sweatpants and a black hoodie. Who ever is at my door hasn't given up. I put my dyed blonde hair into a pony tail and sit on bed trying not cry. The knocking continues at the door, pull yourself together Six. I walk to the door preparing to tell Nine to go to hell, I am surprised to see see John at the door.
"What's up, John?" I ask.
His gentle brown eyes find mine as he replies,
"I saw you run out saw you run out of Lecture Hall looking pretty pissed, I've been waiting out here for a while, I wanted to make sure you are ok."
My mind starts racing, he saw the kiss, crap! What should I do?
I decide playing dumb is my best option.
"I was in the shower, I'm sorry I was keeping you waiting. But to answer your question, I'm fine. Nine was being a moron, as usual." Not to mention a decent kisser, I mentally add. I mentally punch myself, what has gotten into me? I bite my lip as I wait for John's reply.
"That explains it, Nine does have a reputation for getting on everyone's last nerve." John's eyes hold sympathy.
I breathe in a sigh of relief, he didn't see the kiss.
John pulls me in for a hug, which I gladly except. It feels so good to have someone to hold onto. Someone who will always be there for me. I inwardly smile, focusing on the warmth of John's arms.
He pulls away from me way too soon, I try not to feel disappointed. I always feel disappointed when he pulls away, I don't know if its because he is a really good friend to me, or if I like him. It doesn't matter anyway, John has Sarah. The deadweight, the thing that might set us back, the one who who might loose us this war. My mind categorizes her.
"Do you want to come in?" I ask.
John looks behind him, at the empty hallway.
"Sure, I wanted to ask you a question anyway."
I beckon John onto my bed. I sit closer to him than I probably should, given he has a girlfriend. The black bed spread looks really good against his black shirt and blue jeans.
"What did you want to ask me?" I ask trying to sound calm, even though my heart is racing at the fact that John, the man that I might like, is sitting on my bed. Being so close to him doesn't help. My skin feels flushed, I try to keep my racing pulse under control. John's eyes dart around nervously, I know what he is about to say must be serious.
"I am thinking about breaking up with Sarah," I inwardly smile, the thought of him breaking up with that bitch makes me want to start screaming with joy, "We really aren't getting along lately. And if she really isn't the one, then I don't want to put her through this."
I understand what he means; if he doesn't love her then he doesn't want to force her to fight in a war that she doesn't need to fight in.
Forcing my self to sound calm, I reply, "I think it will be hard for both of you, but I understand where you are coming from. The only problem is what if she gets mad at you, and tells the Mogs out of anger. She could end up killing all of us."
John looks thoughtful, he looks back at the door then replies, "I guess that's a risk we will have to take, that or we could send her back home will Marina or someone her parents don't know and try to convince them she is crazy."
I can tell whatever John chooses will mentally hurt him, although he may not love Sarah he still wants the best for her. That's one of the things I love about John, he can forgive.
"When are you going to break up with her?" I ask, sounding calmer than I feel.
John looks around at the door again, what is he looking at?
"Tonight," My heart speeds up, maybe he's going to ask me out later! "I'm going to take her on a walk and slowly break it to her, I really don't want to hurt-" A thud cuts John off. The thud comes from my window, I run to my nightstand when I keep a knife incase there's an emergency.
John is throwing fireballs at the intruder's feet, trying to make the intruder fall over. The intruder tries to fight back by lunging at John, but I stop it by throwing my knife at the creature, It lands in its foot. The creature howls in pain.
Then I see who it is. I walk over to Nine, lean down, placing my face inches from his face. Then I punch Nine in the gut.
Nine's P.O.V.
I am in so much pain right now. Six punching me in the gut didn't exactly help, I look at John. His hands are still on fire, wow, he must be pissed.
"What the hell, sweetheart? You could have thrown a freaking knife in my gorgeous head! Woman everywhere would be mourning." I say weakly.
Six rolls her eyes, "What do you want, Nine?" She hisses through clenched teeth.
I look at John, who is standing next to Six. Most likely about to prevent her from killing me.
"I came in to tell Johnny that he can't be in here with you right now, because you and I have plans." I say, as I casually pull the knife out of my foot.
John notices this and walks over to me. He sets his hand on my foot and the magical healing process begins.
"Anything going on between the two of you that I should know about?" John asks calmly.
I wait until my foot has healed before I reply. Once John knows that Six and I kissed, he'll probably burn my foot again.
"Six and I kissed in the gym! So I figured I'd tell you, so you don't get and ideas." I have no idea why I'm telling John this. I hate Six, why would would I be competing for her? I don't know, maybe because it annoys Johnny. Something tells me that isn't the case.
John's eyes blaze, I can tell that if Six wasn't standing next to him I'd probably be dead.
"Six, is this true? Is there something going on between the two of you that I should know about?" John asks, with a voice as sharp as a knife.
Six looks at John, making eye contact, An impressive feat considering the tips of John's hair is on fire.
"It is partially true, yes we kissed. But it was just a-" Six admits.
John cuts her off, "I don't care what it was! Six, you need to tell me things like this! I consider myself on of your best friends," John is careful not to raise his voice as he continues, "Possibly more than best friends. One of my reasons for wanting to break up with Sarah would be so I could date you."
Wow, I just screwed up Six's and John's chance of love. Surprisingly I don't feel bad, in fact I think I'm smiling.
John walks to the door. "I'll see you guys later." He looks back at Six. Then shakes his head.
"Wait John! Please let me explain! I-" Six says obviously struggling not to start screaming.
The closing of the door cuts Six off. She turns towards me, her gray eyes blazing. The sky behind her darkens, thunder crashes, rain pours.
"So…" I say, smiling
The sky if possible, gets darker.
"Someone looks wet." I say with a grin.
If looks could kill, I would be very dead. Six takes a deep breath and replies.
"Get of of my goddamn room." Her voice is as sharp as a dagger.
I walk over to her window and step on to the ledge. Six's hands push me out the window, I struggle not to scream as I fall. I manage to find my footing on the side of the building. Six closes her window, with a slam. I manage to find my way to my room, the window is closed. I can only think of one person who would've done this, I contact Ella using my telepathy.
Ella, why is my window closed.
Oh, that. I figured you might want that closed, with the storm and all of that.
Thanks for reading, I am sorry it took me so long to post this chapter. I will try to update by the weekend, if I can't I'm super sorry.
Please review,
