A/N: OH MY GOSH! It feels like so long ago that I've spend a whole afternoon on fanfiction! We have a 'Young Authors' program at school, and I wrote a story for it (of course!)... Well, it turned out longer to write then I expected, and I had procrastinated before… THEN A TEACHER MADE THE DEADLINE A WEEK AWAY! So, I had to stay up really late for five days to try to finish my book... Anyway, enough about my life, let's go to the Hybrid Winglets'!
~Dawnstar~
Dawnstar sprinted down the hall, laughing. She could still hear Destiny and Nova in their room, and she felt giddy that she had gotten Nova to open up.
Nova had always seemed so shy and worried, and earlier that night, Dawnstar had been brainstorming ways to get her let loose and have a little fun. Destiny was also pretty anxious, so it was nice that she could get closer to Nova, too.
Now, to get to my winglet…
Dawnstar suddenly stopped walking. What was my winglet called again? Uhhh… The Gold Winglet? Topaz? Dawnstar racked her brain, trying to figure it what is was. Hmm… Maybe it was Amber? Diamond? Or Jasper? ACK WHY CAN'T I FIGURE THIS OUT.
Amber. Dawnstar guessed randomly. I'll go to were the Amber Winglet is meeting.
"Dawnstar!" Two familiar voices came from different directions. Dawnstar turned one way. There was Waveseeker. She looked the other. It was Vortex.
"Oh, hey, guys!" Dawnstar smiled at them both, and her heart a fluttered a little.
She blinked. Did she- Did she LIKE one of these boys? And which one? Waveseeker was sweet and cute, but Vortex was smart and charming. She shook her head. It wasn't like they liked HER.
"Hi, Dawnstar." Waveseeker said shyly.
"Hey!" Vortex nearly shouted. "Where are you headed?"
Dawnstar rolled her eyes giggled. "Uh, to my WINGLET? Like you two should be ALSO going to?"
Vortex looked fake-offended. "I thought WE were your winglet!"
Dawnstar giggled again. "Shush, silly. You know what I mean. What winglet are you in? I'm in the Amber and I should be going to…" Dawnstar looked giant black board that displayed all the locations of the winglet's meeting place.
"The southern wing P.E room!"
Now it was Vortex's time to roll his eyes. "Nice remembering skills." he muttered.
"Well, where is YOUR winglet meeting?!" Dawnstar said, trying to be angry.
"Uhh…" Vortex glanced at the blackboard. "In the north wing green house garden!"
Waveseeker snorted and rolled his eyes, then glanced at the blackboard. "Hey! I'm in the southern green house garden! That means we can walk to class together, Dawnstar!"
"Eh, see you soon, Dawnstar. I've got to get to class." Vortex said, and, just on cue, the third gong sounded.
Vortex brushed his non-venomous tail against her tail, then walked down the hall. Dawnstar watched him go.
"Uh… Dawnstar? There's something I need to tell you."
~Vortex~
Vortex walked down the hall, but stopped when he heard Waveseeker say something.
"Uh… Dawnstar? There's something I need to tell you."
Is he going to say that he likes her? What if she likes him back? Vortex thought. Then there's nothing I can do about it. He told himself firmly, urging himself to keep walking, but something made him stop.
"I… I lied to you."
What? What does he mean? What did he lie to her about? Vortex ducked into a empty math classroom in case one of them looked in the hallway.
"I didn't… actually… catch you. Vortex did."
Vortex blinked. He lied to her about that? I mean, it would make sense. All that time with her… But I never portrayed Waveseeker as a liar...
"I'm really sorry- I just… I'm sorry. I'd understand if you… If you… If you wa-"
"Waveseeker, stop." Dawnstar's voice stopped him mid sentence. "I… I knew."
"You did?" Waveseeker sounded confused. "H-How?"
"Dude, there was, like, four dragons there! Sun, Vortex himself, Borealis, and Nova!"
"S-So… You know? When did you find out?"
"Uhhh… Around the second or third we hung out."
Waveseeker's voice was barely a whisper now. "So… You knew all this time? And you were just hanging out with me… because you liked me?"
"Yeah."
Suddenly, a voice behind Vortex spoke.
"Vortex…? Why are you in here? Shouldn't you be meeting with your winglet?"
Destiny.
~Destiny~
"Vortex?" Destiny askes again, studying his face. "Are you ok?"
"Uh- yeah!" Vortex said quickly after shaking his head. "I just… was doing something! In this room! And now I've got to go!"
He started walking in the door, and Destiny looked back at the board where she was trying to figure out a complicated problem the teacher was having trouble figuring out. It was really hard, but Destiny thought she was on the edge to figuring it out.
Once he was about to walk out of the room, he turned back to Destiny.
"Hey, Destiny. Do you want to walk to class with me?" Destiny thought about it for a second, then turned back to Vortex and nodded.
Really hard math problems would have to wait.
