School Blues
" No " Tina said in fear, the serpentine mark was glowing and she didn't know how to stop it. She wouldn't she absolutely couldn't let this happen right now. Especially when Jenny was here she would be in danger of her, and as her friend she will not let that happen.
" Uh, what? " Jenny said in confusion. " You are really acting weird today "
" This cannot be happening " Tina said as she started to pace around the room. She stopped for a moment and turn to Jenny " You need to leave " She said with wide eyes " Excuse me? " Jenny said taking it as an insult. " You heard me, as in right now , please leave " Tina said grabbing Jenny's arm and dragging her to the door.
" Hey! " Jenny complained struggling out of Tina's grip. " You can't just go and grab people like that! " Jenny said in anger. " S-sorry, its just i- , well not a good time right now " Tina tried to explain, but as the mark on her arm glowed brighter it was getting hard to cover it with only one hand especially since it was starting to hurt.
" And why is that? " Jenny asked folding her arms sternly. " Well, uh, its getting late. Yeah! its really getting late so you need to go home, you know not safe to go out at night and whatnot. hahaha " Tina said trying to come up with a good enough excuse. " Besides we have school tomorrow and we and you don't want to be late, so- see you tomorrow? "
" Uhuh " Jenny said rolling her eyes. " Well, if you ever get the urge to tell me what's really going on with you. You know where to find me " She said slinging her backpack over her shoulder and walking out the door.
Sighing in relief Tina sat down on her chair and looked at the red moon that had appeared out of nowhere. " Of all people why me? its just not fair " she asked looking at the serpentine mark that glowed brighter and brighter with each moment along with the pain that came with it reminding her of the brief vision that she saw back then as a child.
She looked at her computer feeling compelled to send an e-mail to Lee hoping to ask for advice, but she knew he couldn't, he already has enough problems she can't give him any more. Jenny wasn't an option, she already has her hand full with the book. Tina sighed once more in sorrow.
She was all alone, with no one to turn to. Not even her own sister. Not her family, not even Lee.
Raising her head with determination she glared at the moon " I need to find out more " Tina declared, and with the blood moon as witness to her new resolve she will do anything to find away out. If only she knew how.
The next day
Lee strolled through the halls looking for a specific person.
" Hey, Jenny! " Lee called out to the blonde who was about to go in the library. Jenny turned around with a big smile " Oh, Hey Lee! " She greeted. " Have you seen Tina lately? I feels like she's been avoiding us the whole day " Lee asked in concern.
" Nope, but i bet she has. " Jenny answered. " What do you mean? " Lee asked wondering why his friend and long time crush was avoiding him. Did she figure out that he likes her?
" Well, she has been acting really weird since yesterday during the blood moon and wouldn't tell me why. And she kept covering her arm the whole time. " Jenny said a bit bothered by that " But other than that she's been perfectly normal, well- before the blood moon i mean "
" Hold up. Blood moon? Jen, what are you talking about? There wasn't any blood moon last night " Lee explained. " Woah, what do you mean there wasn't? there was clearly one last night me and Tina saw it. " Jenny defended. " Are you sure? i really didn't see any blood moon last night " Lee said.
" Well blood moon or not we clearly saw something and after that Tina went all weird, she won't even tell me what's wrong " Jenny explained clearly annoyed. " Did anything else weird happen after that? " Lee questioned. " No. Not yet anyway. " Jenny responded. Lee thought for a while before coming to a resolve " Thanks Jenny, i gotta go see ya! " Lee said before running off to go find Tina, whether she liked it or not.
" Well that was weird " Jenny said before sticking her finger in her nose and going inside the library.
Lee P.O.V
Okay, Blood Moon that supposedly appeared last night without me noticing and Tina avoiding me the whole day. I don't know why but why do i have i feeling i should have seen this coming?
" Hello A. Nigma High! I'm Chaz Moneranian " The annoying voice of Chaz said happily. That means- " And I'm Tina Kwee,This just in Rumors are spreading like wildfire after Kimmie Mcadams and Biffy Goldstein were seen together outside a local cafe on a date, could A. Nigma's most popular girl be going out with a him or is this just a hoax? Lets hear from the public "
Tina and Chaz were in the middle of the corridors with their camera man standing right next to an agitated Kimmie Mcadams, who looked like she was ready to beat the lights out of Chaz.
Tina! Finally found her, sorta? Wait. What?!
" We are hear live with Kimmie " Chaz said holding his microphone to Kimmie's face making her more annoyed than she was when she found out. " So Kimmie, is it true your dating a social outcast? " Chaz said stiffling a laugh " Honestly i thought you could do better than that! " Chaz said rolling his eyes.
Kimmie hissed and shoved the microphone away and into Chaz's eye.
" Look. I don't know where on earth you got that bogus rumor from, but i can assure you its not true. So stop bothering me already! " Kimmie growled as she walked away from the scene leaving everyone confused and shocked.
Meanwhile Chaz was nursing his eye while Tina was conflicted whether to be sorry for him or be happy even though he is a jerk. " Well. There you have it folks. " Tina said awkwardly before making a gesture for the camera man to cut.
As the crowd that had gathered dispersed and the camera man brought Chaz to the nurse's office , Tina was the only one who remained with a sad expression on her face. This is my chance! Lee thought. I approached Tina who didn't seem to notice me at first.
" What's up? " I asked her. She was taken back by it as she accidentally slammed into the lockers.
" Are you okay? " I asked worriedly.
" Yeah, think so " Tina responded rubbing her back.
" So- " I started
" So? " Tina asked.
" Okay, I'm going to go straight to the point here. Why have you been avoiding us? " I asked. Tina's expression once again became said as her eyes looked down in shame. " I wasn't technically avoiding you " Tina said.
" Can you tell me what's up with the blood moon then? " I asked seriously, Tina began backing away. " Who told you that? " She said in a barely audiable voice. " Jenny did, she also told me that you were covering your arm the entire time. " I said starting to get more worried as she started to backaway further. I noticed her right sleeve was rolled farther than the other.
" Great. What else did she tell you? " Tina sighed.
" You've been keeping a secret this whole time haven't you " I asked once more, this i can tell this wasn't going anywhere and won't go anywhere unless i ask more hard hitting questions as much as i would hate to do that to Tina.
" Look, Lee. I appreciate the concern. But i don't want y-your help right now " Tina said as if it was the most hardest thing she had to say in her life. " Tina please i- "
" Well, well. What do we have here? Trying to skip detention aye Ping? Not in my school you won't. Get a move on! " Principal Barrage said as he took Lee by the collar and dragged him off.
" Wait Tina! " Lee called out before getting shushed by Barrage. " No time for chitty-chat Ping you have detention to attend "
Tina looked at him sadly before leaving the school.
