A/N Sorry for not putting a chapter up yesterday! But guess what! I found out that I have to do a Graphic Novel for my English I.L.A (Project) and I'm doing Divergent, Divergent, Divergent, Divergent. Whoo! My best friend is doing Finding Sky or Stealing Phoenix! *Does finns science dance around the room* I'm in such a good mood!

Chapter 10

I tried to get her off me. "Will you tell me about yourself Phee? I want to know where you're coming from"

She gaped at me before tugging me back to the driver. I followed, knowing that the sooner we got this over with the sooner Xav could she to her hand.

We got to the taxi and she put her hand through the little gap. She pulled out the change and pressed it into my palm. I heard the driver snort at her actions. "You can't give him three-sixty as a tip!"

Why on earth not? I put the coins back into the tray to thank the driver for driving us. "Yeah I can, leave it Phee – it's not a big deal" Yes. It's not like I don't have money lying around that everyone I know is refusing to take.

I got out of the taxi and saw Phee stumble behind me. Knowing she needed help, I held my hand out.

Follow me.

Surprisingly, she took it. Lead the way O master.

I raised an eyebrow. Glad to see that you have seen the light. I only want what's best for you.

Mr Arrogant or what?

I don't mean it like that. I shook my head, scolding myself for letting her get the wrong impression. I just want to get this right but I seem to be doing it all wrong.

Then let me go. Why did she want to escape so much?

That would be a tragedy. Give me a chance here, please.

I began to feel uncomfortable at all this. I guess I should've expected it because I was never good around girls.

Ok until my hand is seen to. Then we'll go from there.

I got my keys out of my jacket pocket and opened the front door. We walked up a few flights of stairs in silence until we reached the lift. I put the key in the special slot to reach our apartment.

"I thought you lived in America" she asked. Nice to know she was paying attention.

"Borrowed the apartment off a friend of one of my brothers" I tapped the wall of the lift, wanting to get out as soon as possible.

"Which one? Wilbur? Walt?"

I smiled at her attempts to guess Wills name. "Not a bad guess, Victor. I don't have a brother called Wilbur or Walt – just Will. You'll like him" I remembered Wills easy going smile.

"If I ever have kids" What was she suggesting? "I'm going to call them really simple things like that: Names that are so normal no one will blink when they answer the register or… or get a library card"

I laughed uneasily, still shaken up about the children comment. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I got teased for having a girls name – you know Eve – for having a girls name" I remembered David and Simon. "My mom and Dad plucked names from their ancestors all over the world for their sons – and I had to suffer for it. Phoenix must have been a burden at school until, I suppose it became cool to be different."

She shrugged. "I wouldn't know. Never went to school that I can remember"

I blinked and blinked again. That couldn't have been right. She must be lying. I heard the lift chime and the doors slid open. "How… but surely you have to go to school in England; everyone does."

"Hmm…" Was all she replied.

I still couldn't understand it. "But you know things – you've read Peter Pan"

"And Wendy. I didn't say I didn't have lessons. You can learn a lot if you want to."

I carried on walking to the door. What did she mean? How can she have learnt about stuff if she didn't go to school? Unless she was home-schooled; but she didn't seem like that sort of person.

I shrugged it off "I guess you can." I put the key in the lock of out door and twisted it so it clicked open. "Hey Xav! We're back!"

Xav walked out of the bathroom wiping his hands on his black towel.

Wow, she's cute! But how can someone as cute as that hurt themselves?

Xav! Behave yourself; she got hurt in one of my fires.

Ok fine, that was stupid of you to hurt her though.

"Hi Phee I've set up in here. Bring the patient in Nurse"

"You told him about me?" she hissed.

I prodded her between her shoulder blades. "Only your name and that you got burnt by one of my fires. Didn't want to distract him with the rest until he's seen to your hand. Let's not keep the doctor waiting."

A/N Done this chapter! YAY I've found out JS might do an exclusive short on Sky and Zed… Not so sure though
