Chapter 9
Tori's POV
"Poor Luke!" I said.
" I know, but it's for the best." replied Alyssa.
" I think I might have to treat him ice cream for doing this."
" Are you serious? Ice cream? Even Luke would want more than ice cream."
" Oh. You don't know Luke. He loves ice cream so much that I don't buy ice cream at home. So if he does something useful, is being good, or we were both in good moods, we would go out for ice is like a small kid getting the best present of all for Christmas."
" Are you serious? You don't let the poor kid get ice cream when he wants?"
" I would let him, but he gets extremely hyper. You remember when you came over once and he was doing at least 4 things at once."
" Yeah. Why?"
" Luke just had ice cream and when he went home, he was so hyper, he had to find something to do."
" Oh. So ice cream is like an addictive drug to him."
" Nope. It is an addictive drug for him!"
We burst out laughing and held our stomachs from laughing so hard. We suddenly paused which made us laugh even harder. We collapsed on the floor.
I got up and helped Lyss up. We were looking after Luke just in case something goes wrong since that boy can attract trouble anywhere, anytime.
You just name it.
One time, when we were getting ice cream, the waitress was flirting with Luke. Except he was only paying attention to his ice cream. When we finished, we tipped the waitress and left. She got mad and called a friend to watch us to find out where we live. Apparently Luke was so hyper that I took him to the water park during the afternoon. And yes, we had ice cream for breakfast. Anyway, Luke went everywhere and the friend had a hard time catching up so he, yep a guy, lost us. He knew that waitress was going to kill him so he spent the rest of the time going on rides that we didn't go on yet. We finally crossed paths, but he was grouchy since 5 hours past and he still didn't find us. The line moved forward and we were behind that guy. Apparently Luke had to open his mouth and asked him to move up. The guy was grouchy so he started cussing at Luke. And they were in Spanish. ( We were 13 and I was taking an advanced Spanish class at our school for my elective. )Luke didn't know or understand it so he just shrugged and continued to complain to me that we still weren't moving and we were near the front. I knew that if I didn't do anything, Luke would throw a fit later about this, and then a fight would become of this, next he would give me the silent treatment, and finally he would say sorry. And that process can take up to 2 to 5 days. So I just told the guy flat-out to move forward since we were next or get out of the line. And then that guy was going to start with me with the cussing probably. Except all the words he used were easy words that I could out do, but his cell phone rang and he picked it up. Despite my super hearing that would never turn off, I couldn't tune the phone call out of my head. And I found out that the guy was looking for Luke so I dragged Luke out of line before the guy could notice we were gone and realized who we were. Luke gave me his puppy-dog face. He knew that usually got to me to see him upset, but this was just too dangerous. I sign languaged to him that I was listening to a phone call conversation. I made him memorize the sign language alphabet and phrases. Oh! I also made him learn Morse Code in case of emergencies. Luke seemed a little down, but saw a water slide that lets 2 people go together so he dragged me there. We were at the front and I couldn't sense the guy anywhere. Luke tugged on my arm and saw that we had to go. I moved forward and grabbed Luke's hand in case he runs off or crashes into innocent little kids. Yep, he just bulldozes right through them. I jumped which caused Luke to fall. He fell head first into the water. My body fell in first. I swan up and dragged Luke up too knowing he would be too lazy to swim up to the surface. My head was out of the water and I didn't pull my arm up so Luke could get up. He started to pout underwater while I waited for him to get up. After a few minutes I loosened my grip on him. He noticed that and thought I was going to leave him so he swam to the surface. He was coughing cause he opened his mouth too soon. I burst out laughing. He shot me a look to shut up, but I didn't listen. Luke immediately froze. I noticed this so I gave him a questioning face. Except he wasn't looking at me, instead he was looking behind me. I turned my head swiftly and ducked too. Just in time too. A knife aimed for my head, but missed. I grabbed the arm and twisted it. He screamed out in pain and dropped the knife. I grabbed it and shoved it in my swim suit so it wouldn't be noticeable, grabbed Luke's hand, and ran out of there. I ran to one of those family restrooms and shoved Luke in. He face was very pale which was not good. I snapped my fingers in front of his face. His response was nothing. He was scaring me now! I electrocuted him and he broke out of his little world. His face quickly changed from blank to panic. I asked him what was wrong. He replied,
"That was one of my best friends from when I was alive to the world."
" Oh. Do you miss him?"
" No! He's stupid, annoying, bothersome,..."
" Okay. I get that you don't like him, but why were you so doing the thing you did?"
" Because I know he knows I'm alive."
" Oh great! So what do we do? Kill him?"
" I guess. You have the perfect weapon in there." He replied while pointing to my breasts. I rolled my eyes and told him to turn around. I pulled the knife out first and shoved it into my purse under our extra clothes, but not all the way at the bootom. I pushed it to the side so it wasn't visible. He did as I said so I stripped down completely and dried myself with my towel. I grabbed a tank top the showed a lot of skin and a pair of short shorts. I threw a towel at Luke which meant that I was done. I did the same thing while Luke stripped and changed. I grabbed everything and put it into a bag that won't spill and shoved it into my purse. I barely touched the door knob when Luke asked," Why did we go into this one?"
" Cause I couldn't talk to you!"
" Oh!"
" Now lets go!"
" Okay, okay coming."
I pushed the door really hard and ran as fast as I could dragging Luke with me. We ran through crowds looking for Luke's best friend. I spotted him standing near the entrance and pointed it out to Luke. He turned in that direction and nodded. He let go of my hand and walked up to his friend carefully looking at his surroundings and looking for another weapon. My super hearing kicked in and I listened to what Luke was saying.
" Hey David!" Luke sounded happy.
The David character turned around and when he saw Luke, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. I chuckled and waited to see what Luke would do next. He lead his friend into the boys restroom and said they could talk there without interested eavesdroppers. I walked to one of the chairs and lied down so it looked like I was relaxing. I pulled my sunglasses on and closed my eyes.
I heard a something drop except I couldn't see what Luke was doing so I looked through his eyes. I saw Luke holding a silent pistol I gave him last fall , but confiscated since he was messing around with it. I watched him shoot his friend's chest. Right in the heart and stood there. I made a hologram through my mind that Luke was going out of a stall across the stall David was in and it looked real. I then teleported Luke and kept him invisible until the hologram came out. We then got up to leave. Later that day, the restroom cleaners found David's body and the police went to investigate. Luke never put a promise ring so they would never connect the crime to us together.
Anyway, Luke went to class with the girl that I found out later was named Monica. He learned easy things I taught him when he was 14. I saw him meet a Claire, and when Monica went to the restroom ,cause she thought she had something in her teeth, they made fun of her. Lyssa took a closer look and said that was Shane's boyfriend. I asked who Shane was and she told me that he was her biological brother. I nodded and then asked her if this was a plot of revenge. She just simply nodded her head and we went back to spying.
Plz Review! Hey Guys! I know which direction I want my story to turn out so I had to fix a couple chapters. The only major thing I did in a chapter was like take out a 20 word paragraph. So I suggest you reread that chapter first! Anyways thx for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! : )
