O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Chapter 11 O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
"You thought you were there to guide me, You were only in my way, You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you."
Wanda opened one of her sapphire eyes and looked at her vibrating phone. She picked up the cell phone and opened her other eye to make sure she wasn't seeing things. It was 9:30 am on a Sunday morning and her dad was indeed calling her.
"Hello?" she answered the call groggily.
"Wanda, you're not up yet?"
"Good morning to you too," she answered.
"Good morning, I need you and your brother to get up and meet me in an hour."
This statement woke Wanda up, "What? Where?"
"At your school. I'll be there in an hour. You can just meet me at front."
"What for?" she asked suspiciously.
"I'll see you then," Eric Magnus Lensher stated and then hung up.
"Gee thanks dad, that answered my question." She mumbled and put her phone down and laid back on her pillow.
As she moved her body to the side she stared at her blue headed friend. Without any warning she threw her phone at her.
"OWW," Laura Lex cried as a hard object lightly smacked her head. "What the hell," she said in between yawns. The commotion made Jubilee mumble something that sounded like 'shut up and let me sleep its Sunday' while Amara tossed and turned.
"Hey…"
"What?" Lexa asked groggily.
"My dad's coming to visit today."
"Good for you."
"Stop acting like your still sleeping, stupid."
"I am sleeping," she answered.
"Come with me."
Laura Lex finally opened her eyes all the way and turned to look at her friend. "What?"
"I said, come with me."
"Why?"
"I don't feel like being stuck with him and Pietro. Plus he knows you so it won't be awkward."
"I haven't seen your dad in years. Sure we're next door neighbors but if you don't notice either you guys are always on vacation or we are. Plus Pietro is going and I don't think I want to see his ugly face, no offense," Laura answered. Her thoughts going to dinner the night before and her thigh feeling warm remembering his touch.
"Come on, it will be fine. Pietro is going to be on his best behavior with father around."
"That's true," Laura Lex answered smirking at just how different Pietro was around his father.
"Well?"
Laura Lex laid silently, her stomach churned a little at the thought of seeing Pietro so soon after last night's incident. She hadn't told the girls about it, they had just discussed the mysterious note but didn't ask any more questions about her date. She wasn't sure she was planning to tell them either, doing that would result in endless teasing. Not to mention she would have to tell them how she felt about it, and there was no way in hell she was going to tell them how her heart sped at the sudden closeness. She could keep that to herself.
"Hello?" Wanda almost yelled at her pulling her from her thoughts.
"Alright fine," Laura Lex answered.
"Thanks," Wanda answered with a sincere smile. "Well let's get ready he said he'd be out in an hour. You know what I should drag Anna with us too…" Wanda then got up and started making the trip up the stairs. A minute later she peered over the rail to look at Laura Lex who was now up and stretching.
Noticing the stare she looked up, "What?"
"She's gone."
Lexa smirked, "Causing trouble so early already."
"I guess so, now that I think about it she didn't tell me what time she was meeting Remy. I wonder when she left."
"She left half an hour. No do you mind, I want to SLEEP!" Jubilee snapped at them making the Goths smirk.
"Someone is not a morning person," Wanda stated walking back down.
"Meorrwww," Lexa added making pretend she had claws. Both then broke out in laughter and began getting ready.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Elsewhere O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
Anna covered her mouth as she yawned. "Why are we here so early?"
Remy smirked, "It's not much earlier den last week."
They were sitting in the same booth, in the same dinner where they had had breakfast for the first time the day she got released from seclusion. Anna was wearing black tight pants that had a slit at her knees. She was wearing a dark purple tank top with thick straps and over it was a dark purple sweater that just went around her arms and chest. Remy sat across from her in a relaxed pose, with an arm on the top of the booth seat and his other hand on the table. He was wearing black shorts that went past his knees, an opened button shirt showing a black wife beater.
On his forehead was a black bandana, his semi long hair was down hiding most off the black cloth.
Anna couldn't help but stare at him as he looked outside the window. For someone who was a jock, he could definitely pass as a Goth.
Snapping herself out of her daze she continued speaking, "Well technically ah woke up earlier then ah did last week. So, did yah report yahr where abouts tahday or are yah gonna have Jean have another attack tahmorrow."
Remy look like he was thinking about it before answering, "eh, maybe dis time I'll answer de phone."
Anna gave a small laugh, "Yarh bad."
Remy leaned in towards her, "Y' make me bad."
Anna smirked and leaned forward as well so that she could whisper, "Oh no, yahr not gonna blame that on meh." While she spoke the waitress that had taken their order came over and refilled his barely touched coffee. She gave him a big smirk and a wink, Remy smiled at her. When she left Anna rolled her eyes, "Yahr bad all by yahrself."
Remy laughed and sat back at his seat.
"Jealous?"
"Not in the least. Yahr not my boyfriend," she answered leaning away.
"Dats true mais I can make her my new friend non?"
"Ah think yah made enough friends yah girlfriend doesn't want yah tah have. But to each his own."
"Non, c'est daccord. She don't look like lots of fun."
"And ah do?" she asked skeptical.
"Actually I've had someone ask me if y' taken me to a graveyard yet."
"Yahr joking," Anna answered.
"Non."
Anna laughed, "What idiot asked that?"
"Mon ami Berto. He was being stupid mais got admit, made me laugh."
"That's a good one," she responded nodding.
While they were speaking their food came. The waitress liking the attention he had given her earlier made an effort to catch his eye; Remy though ignored her completely and instead focused all his attention on Anna. The waitress noticed this and decided to give Anna a glare that if looks could kill, well the white banged Goth wouldn't be much fun for the rest of the day. Anna didn't mind, she knew she could give a really good glare too but to use one now would be a waste. As the waitress turned and started walking away Remy's lips curved up into a diabolical smirk.
Realization hit her as she looked at the retreating waitress and then at the attractive boy in front of her. "Yah did that on purpose!"
"Quoi?" he asked putting on an innocent voice.
"Are yah gonna make all the girls that find yah attractive hate meh for just being near yah tahday?"
"Can't really do anything bout dis looks chere. Guess we'll just 'ave to 'ope we don see many belle femmes."
Anna finished chewing on her French toast, "Well if yah like ah could do something about those looks. Ah do recall giving Crystal something that made her ego go down a bit…"
Remy laughed at the memory. "Non, I'll try and be on my best behavior."
"Good, what is on the agenda tahday anyways?"
Remy shrugged.
"What? Yah asked meh tah hang out tahday and yah didn't plan anything?"
Remy smirked, "Desole. It jus happened. De words came out before I thought bout it. Guess I couldn't help myself. Anyway I already showed y' all my good spots."
It was Anna's turn to look at him intently. She wasn't sure what to think about the comment. Remy felt that maybe he had said too much and fidgeted in his seat.
"Yeah, ah guess yah have taken me tah a lot of good places," she finally answered and turned her gaze out the window.
"What about y' chere, have any place y' wanna go?"
"Not really, but tah be honest ah don't know mah way around so much."
"Really? How's dat? Dis is your second year at school non?"
"Oui," she answered mimicking him. "But Lexa and meh have always stayed close tah the local area. Other than that ah've only seen the main attractions. Yah know, like the statue of liberty, mom's brought meh and Kurt before."
"Well den lets go."
"Where?"
"New York, c'est a big place, we'll find something ta do," he answered finishing his drink.
"Alright," she answered. 'New York's a big place, it's definitely a good place tah go if ah don't want a repeat of last week,' she thought to herself as she watched his reflection through the window, his focus she noticed was still on her.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O School O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
"Come on, there he is," Wanda stated and sighed as she looked at the figure from far away.
Laura Lex, "You're not that excited to see him."
"Are you ever excited to see your dad?"
Laura shrugged, "Guess it depends how longs it's been," she answered as they walked closer to the man with silver hair, blue gray eyes and dark blue suit. It had been a long time since she had seen him, but she smiled as she remembered her younger days when she would tease Pietro about how much they looked alike. As she looked at the older man, she noted that the resemblance was still there.
"Wanda," he stated noticing them arrive.
"Hi Dad," Wanda answered and stood still as he gave her a brief hug. Laura Lex smirked as she watched the embarrassed expression on her face. "You remember…"
"Laura Lex," he interrupted his daughter as he greeted the younger girl.
"Hi Mr. Lensher!" she greeted.
"Yo!"
All three turned around towards the voice that had spoken. Pietro reached them and gave his dad a big hug. Laura and Wanda both rolled their. Lexa turned to Wanda and whispered, "Butt Kisser," making her friend smirk in return.
"Always has been, always will be," Wanda whispered back. She also took this time to look at the person who had accompanied Pietro. He kept his eyes on Pietro at the moment, but she knew it wouldn't be long before their eyes met. It seemed like she was going to be stuck being close to him all the time; in classes and now even in her personal time.
"Have you been waiting long?" Pietro asked stepping away.
"No, I just got here actually."
"Cool, you remember my friend John right?" Pietro asked.
Eric nodded and shook head with the redheaded Aussie. "Of course." He looked at all the teens carefully and gave a soft smile. "It's been years since I've seen you three together," he commented looking at Wanda, Laura and Pietro.
The three teens looked from one to the other.
"Eh, I've seen them plenty enough now. I think you should send Wanda back to her old school," Pietro stated and smirked at his sister. Wanda poked him in the ribs with her elbow.
"I'm fine where I'm at. If anything you should send Pietro to a military academy or something," she answered.
"He needs it, that boy has problems," Laura Lex added with a smile.
Eric gave a small chuckle. "You guys haven't changed. You know I bumped into your dad the other day," he stated looking at Laura Lex. "He had just gotten home from an out of town trip and we started talking about how you three are growing up so fast. He reminded me of when you two would pretend to be married and played house…" he finished with a thoughtful expression.
Laura Lex couldn't fight the blush that appeared on her cheeks as she remembered that incident and worse yet, here they were ten years later and their dads were still taking about it. Talk about embarrassing.
John looked at Pietro with a perked eyebrow and a sly smirk. Pietro had definitely never mentioned that before. He then turned to Wanda who was smirking, grateful that her dad wasn't embarrassing her. "And where were you while all that was going on Sheila?"
Wanda turned to him with a thoughtful expression on her face. "I was the priest…"
John couldn't help it; he turned back to Pietro and started laughing.
Pietro's eyes widened, this is not something he wanted to talk about. "So what's up dad? I'm sure that's not what you wanted to talk about," he stated talking rather quickly.
"Right," Eric answered and threw something to them.
Wanda caught her item and looked at it curiously before a big smirked appeared on her face. "Finally!" she yelled and then surprised Laura Lex by going to her dad and giving him a hug. "I've been waiting forever!"
"Stop being overdramatic, it's only been a month," her fathered answered.
"That's a long time to not have a car," she answered while dangling her keys. "Where they at?" she asked looking around.
"In the parking garage," Eric answered while looking at his phone. "Go check them out, if you have any problems with them call my secretary so she can get hold of the dealers."
"You're leaving already?" Pietro asked sensing the tone.
"No, I'm going to visit your sister and then I'm heading out. I have to meet a business associate for dinner."
"You know about Lorna?" Wanda asked surprised.
"Our family has been founders for this school a long time, I knew the moment she applied," he answered. "Anyway I better get going; I'll see both of you when parent/teacher conference starts. Behave!"
"Yes father," both answered in unison and then glared at John and Laura Lex who smirked.
Before retreating Eric took a quick look at Pietro, "You are staying out of trouble already right? You look tired."
"Me?" Pietro asked smiling. "I just had a very very long night…" he stated and gave Laura Lex a quick glance. "Studying; but no worries dad I'm staying out of trouble."
Eric studied him closely before walking away towards the school buildings. When he was well out of ear shot Pietro turned to John.
"I stay out of trouble right John? It's not my fault that trouble comes to find me," he ended by looking at Laura once again.
Laura Lex rolled her eyes, "You're so full of shit," and with that she grabbed Wanda by the wrist and started dragging her towards the parking Garage.
As they walked away from them Wanda looked at her younger friend.
"What was that about?"
Laura Lex looked hesitant to answer but slowly responded, "I kinda saw him…last night at dinner."
"You lied about going out with Julian and went with Pietro instead?"
"NO!" Laura yelled and looked back to see that John and Pietro were following slowly behind and out of ear shot. "I went with Julian and Pietro ended up having dinner with his pieces of blond shit."
"He's back with Crystal? When the hell did that happen?"
"How the fuck am I supposed to know? I'm not his sitter," Laura answered.
"Could have fooled me," Wanda mumbled and started pressing a button on her key remote. "Anyway that doesn't explain why he looked at you when he said his long night comment."
"Your brother's stupid. Who knows what he was trying to say," the younger girl answered. Her mind though knew exactly what he was saying. He had spent a very long night with Crystal; he was teasing her telling her that he had indeed won the game last night. Laura Lex had been so lost in her thoughts she didn't notice that Wanda had stopped until she bumped in to her.
Pietro snickered as him and John reached them, "Walk much?" he asked.
Laura Lex took rolled her eyes and stuck her foot in front of him without him noticing making him lose his balance and almost trip. Luckily for him he was able to regain his balance and then glared at her. "Apparently just as much as you," she answered with a grin.
Wanda ignored them as they started arguing back and forth and stood in front of a four door red ford fusion. She pushed a button on her keys again and smirked as the door opened. John ignored the other two as well and watched as Wanda slowly surrounded the car. It was a beautiful car, and she was a beautiful girl, guess they matched. He then looked at the cars next to hers which was definitely Pietro's new car.
The silver Porsche Carrera shined as sunlight hit it, 'Pietro's really gonna like this car, to bad he's too busy flirting to notice it,' John thought with a smirk. After a minute he finally got tired of the squabbling and pushed Pietro towards the car.
"Hey!" he yelled angrily. The tone was soon replaced with a happier tone as he saw his car. "I have a date with Crystal tonight; I bet she's going to love riding in this…"
"Yes I'm sure your high maintance bitch will like it."
Pietro turned to Laura Lex with a smirk, "I'm sure she will."
"Do you mind if I ask where you're going? I don't want the same thing to happen tonight when I go out with Julian."
Pietro's smirked disappeared; before anyone could speak both John and Pietro's phone went off at the same time with the same ringtone.
"Matching Ringtones? Kinda Gay," Wanda stated with a smirk.
Lexa smirked too, "Well I guess the song makes it a little less gay. 'Angels don't kill' by Children of Bodom."
"Yeah…" John answered and checked his phone. "We all have the same ringtone for each other. So whatever ringtone I have for Remy the other guys have too. Makes it easier to know whose bugging…."
"It's a text. 'Going to the big Apple. Left my bike at the diner out by the school. Can you pick it up, thanks' ," Pietro read out loud.
"Thanks mate but I can read too," John responded closing his phone. "Wanna take your new ride?"
"I can't, I'm meeting Crystal right now. Actually I should have been gone the moment my dad let, I got distracted," Pietro answered and glanced at Laura Lex before turning to his red-headed friend.
"Fuck, well I can go and I know where he hides the spare. But I need someone to bring my car back. Let me call Berto…"
"I'll take you…"
Everyone turned to Wanda.
"You will?" They all asked surprised.
She rolled her eyes at them, "Well I do need to take the car on a test drive right? Are you coming?" she asked turning to Laura Lex.
"Uh…no. Actually I promised 'Jul' that I'd have breakfast with him," Laura Lex answered sweetly making Pietro roll his eyes. Wanda on the other hand perked and eye brow, she had not mentioned this to her earlier.
Wanda then turned and looked at John; it would just be the two of them. Now she regretted offering, she didn't think Laura Lex would abandon her. With a sigh she started getting into the car, "Hurry up before I change my mind," she stated.
Laura Lex smirked as the boy got into the passenger seat. She then walked over to Wanda's window making her friend open it.
"What?" Wanda asked annoyed.
"Nothing, just wanted to tell you to be good," she stated with a sly grin.
Wanda rolled her eyes, "Take your own damn advice," she answered while looking at Pietro through her rearview mirror. "Not get the hell out of my way."
Laura Lex laughed and moved away from the car and watched as she drove off, speeding none the less. That just left two…
"What?" Pietro asked catching her stare.
"Just stay away from me," she stated and walked past him.
"Still mad about last night? Or maybe he's just not that satisfying?" he teased.
"I'm sure he's better than you," she answered.
"Can't prove that unless we try."
"Guess we'll never find out then huh?" she stated as the both started walking back towards the school buildings.
"You can always ask Crystal?" he answered gloating.
"Wow does that mean you agree with me that your slut girlfriend has been around and she definitely would know whose better, you or Julian?"
"Ha Ha, funny…not!"
"Whatever whipped boy."
"Here we go again…"
Both then continue to throw comebacks at each other.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Meanwhile O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
John sat still and looked out the window. Wanda had been driving for a good five minutes but both had stayed quiet. Awkwardly quiet. He turned and gave her a side glance. She was wearing a long black long sleeved shirt, a red short halter top over that and a black skirt. His eyes slowly lowered down to look at her smooth legs, though the skirt wasn't as short as some of the girls at school, it had risen when she sat down to drive giving him a good view of some thigh. He blushed and quickly looked away as she gave him a side look.
His dirty mind suddenly sobered up as he realized that a few weeks ago he wouldn't be thinking about these dirty thoughts, he would be doing them. Well maybe not all his dirty thoughts, but he would be holding her and feeling her warm lips on his. Though he had only felt them a few times he felt like they would haunt him forever. He let a sigh out and looked back out the window.
Hearing the sigh, Wanda turned and took another look at him. His orange hair was spiked up; he wore a simple orange shirt and black shorts. She turned away scolding herself for thinking the words 'hot' and focused back on the road ahead of her. She wasn't all that happy that they were so quiet but at the same time what could you talk about with a guy who bet he would have you wrapped around his finger in a two week period?
"Thank You…"
"For what?" she asked not bothering to turn to him as he broke her out of her train of thought.
"For doing this. I know it must be hard…"
"What is? Driving? Not really it may be a new car but I know how to drive."
"No, not that. I meant it must be hard to be here…with me."
She stayed quiet for a minute not sure what to respond. Finally she asked, "What makes you say that?"
"Cause it's hard for me…" he answered and turned to look at her.
She breathed in deeply and avoided his gaze.
"It's bittersweet…to be here alone with you. Sweet because I am spendin' time with you, you somehow found it in yourself to talk to me again. Bitter because we're nothin'." He stayed quiet and just listened to her breathing as she gathered her thoughts.
"I forgave you, and that's what allows me to speak to you," she finally spoke. "A lot of people seem to like you; they tell me that you're not that kind of guy. That you broke that bet off and told people to forget about it, of course there's always going to be people who like making other people miserable; those people don't forget. I don't hate you if that's what you think…"
"Then what's the chance that maybe one day…"
"I don't hate you," Wanda interrupted. "But at the same time I don't know if I can trust you like that again…we both got hurt right? Do you really want to hurt like that again?"
"The outcome wouldn't be the same," he answered
"I'm not willing to take that risk…"
They both stayed quiet, ten minutes went by and John finally spoke.
"Then friendship is it…in the end it's better to have some of you then to not have anything right?"
Wanda didn't answer as she stopped the car. "We're here," she stated as she noticed that he wasn't moving. John nodded and got out of the car.
"Thanks again…"
"Yeah…" she answered and watched him. She didn't start the car again until she saw him start Remy's bike with the spare key. As she watched him speed away she let out the very deep breath she didn't know she was holding. Her eyes closed and she remembered the first kiss they had shared. She opened her eyes and shook her head.
"Don't be stupid Wanda," she told herself and started driving back to school.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Elsewhere O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
"Yah sure it was ok tah just leave yahr bike there?" Anna asked watching the cars pass by. At the moment they were in a taxi cab passing the midtown tunnel.
"Oui, might take a lil bit longer to get dere but at least when we get dere we won't get stuck in traffic. We can ditch the cab as soon as it gets bad," he answered her.
"But what if it gets stolen?"
"Non, stop worrying about it chere."
She turned and watched him. In his hands were a deck of cards that he was shuffling around.
"So…what's the deal with you and cards?" she asked realizing that she saw him with some almost every time she saw him.
Remy's eyes widened a bit and looked at her thoughtfully.
"What?" she asked noticing his expression.
He gave her a soft smile, "De rein, it's jus weird."
Anna perked an eye brow at him, "Yah play with cards cause its weird? Ah actually think that makes yah a bit weird."
Remy laughed making Anna keep staring at him like he was a freak. As he continued laughing she looked away from him smiling, he had a beautiful laugh, worst yet it seemed contagious. So in order to stop herself from joining him, she chose to turn away from him.
Remy stopped laughing and looked at the small Goth girl, studying her closely. "I play wit cards fo many reasons. When I'm bored, when I'm thinkin' bout somethin' important, when I'm tryin' to distract myself…guess it's a stress reliever."
"That doesn't sound so weird."
"Non, it's not. What I meant by its weird was dat you noticed that I used dem so much. Jean's never asked me bout dem…John and Pietro took a good year before finally noticing dem as well."
Anna turned to face him; he was looking at her with a curious gaze, almost as if trying to look right through her. "Ah guess ah'm not blind."
"Which is good, Tu as de beaux yeux chere, be a pity if y' were blind."
"Yah do know that ah do understand French well right? Not just the little phrases yah say here and there. Ah know French."
"Je sais," he answered and kept staring into her emerald orbs.
"Then why say the things yah say?" she asked quietly, so quietly she wasn't sure he heard her.
"Cause dey are true...we're friends right? Friends tell each other the truth," he answered making it clear he had heard her.
The same feeling that had overcome Anna that week prior returned to her as she looked into the warm brown reddish eyes. Before she could respond though there was a loud screech and she went tumbling forward. As she landed on something soft she heard their taxi driver honk his horn and yell profanities at the passing car.
"Ow," she mumbled more to herself than anyone else.
"Y' ok?"
The words had been said in a whisper but she had heard them loud and clear. This being because he had said them very close to her ear. The wide turn had forced her out of her comfortable seat and unto the lean, muscular senior. Her face had smacked right into his shoulder, and one of his hands was on her waist since he had caught her.
Anna bit her lip; she couldn't stay in this position to long, at the same time she didn't want to look up into those eyes again. The way he had been staring at her before made her stomach knot.
She slowly turned her head sideways and confirmed that he was indeed looking at her, their faces mere inches away yet again. 'How do ah I keep getting myself intah this postion?' she asked herself but answered, "Ah'm fine…" to him. She then slowly got out the hold and sat on her side of the seat.
Remy watched her a bit dazed. Finally looking away from her he looked outside to discover that they were in the middle of traffic. "We're here…"
Anna looked around her too and saw all the cars along with all the tall buildings. How she had missed them coming into the city she had no idea but there were finally here and now she could get out of the small compartment seat making her closer to the older boy.
"Here y' go homme, thanks," Remy stated giving their driver the fare. Minutes later after loud horn honking and walking through the parked cars, they found themselves safely on the side walk.
"What now?" Anna asked as she watched Remy look around.
He smirked, " 'ave y' been to Madame Tussaud's?"
"No, last time ah was here, meh and Kurt tried talking mah mom intah it but she said, 'That's creepy' and we didn't mention it again."
Remy chuckled, "Really? Dats what scares Ms. Darkholme? I think I know what I'm gonna be for Halloween."
Anna smiled, "She's that bad in yahr class?"
"She can be pretty bad, no offense."
"Non taken, yah only have her forh an hour. Ah'm stuck with her for the rest of mah life," she answered and started following him.
"Y're overreacting, she's your mother."
"She's overprotective, she texts meh every morning and every night and she sees meh every day! Is that really necessary?"
"She loves y'…y're lucky chere. My pere only calls once a month, if I'm lucky."
Anna's smile faded. This was the first time Remy talked about his family, and now she couldn't find something to reply with especially since it sounded like they weren't close. Instead she chose to change the subject and looked around the store that they had entered.
"This isn't Madame Tussaud's."
From in front of her she heard his small chuckle. "Non, this is a children's toy store. Instead of going around the whole block we're going through the store to get to the other side."
"Ah see…" she answered and kept following him.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O 2B Dorm 5 O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
Wanda walked into her dorm, in her hands a bag of chips she must have just gotten at a vending machine on the way in.
"Where have you been? Does it really take 4 hours to drop John off at a diner and come back?"
Wanda rolled her eyes at her blue haired friend, "what are you doing here? I thought you had plans with Julian Keller?"
"I lied…but enough about me where have you been?"
"You lied? Why?"
"I said enough about me, let's talk about you."
"I was on my way back to school but then I decided that I wanted to spend some time by myself so I Stopped at a lake mom. So back to you, you lied? For what benefit?" Wanda stared at Laura who remained silent. "Did you lie to piss my brother off?"
Laura Lex rolled over in bed ignoring her friend. Wanda rolled her eyes and smacked Laura Lex with a pillow.
"You're such a child sometimes," she told her sitting on her own bed. She then glanced over to Amara who was watching a soap opera in a different language.
"Where's your counterpart?" she asked distracting the dark skinned girl.
"She went to the Library…"
"You didn't go with her?"
Amara shook her head, "The reason she left was because 'On one side of me I have a loud ass TV and on the other side all I hear is he's such an asshole, I can't study like this!' and she left."
Laura sniggered and said, "Good imitation."
"Thanks!" Amara answered and then turned her attention back to the TV.
Laura Lex then turned back to Wanda and looked at the chips in her hand, "You gonna eat those?" she asked pointing.
Wanda rolled her eyes, threw the chips at Laura's face then buried her face into her pillow; she mumbled something that strangely sounded a lot like 'children'.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Library O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
Jubes stuck her face closer to her math book. She had a math quiz the next day and unfortunately thanks to her rowdy and noisy roommates she wasn't able to study on her own bed like she liked to.
She sighed as she mumbled, "Use this formula to solve the problem…"
"Hi!"
Jubilee looked up at the voice. "Oh…hi," she answered with a small smile and then went back to her book.
"You know Jubilee, I really feel like I need to apologize, I know we didn't hit it off the right way but I want to redeem myself an show, you know the good me. Can I take you out for coffee right now?"
"Wow, that's a really sweet gesture Bobby. I'd really love too but right now I'm stuck studying for my math quiz. Can we do it some other time?" she asked nicely looking at the blond haired boy.
"Oh…ok ya I guess that sounds cool."
"Cool," she answered and went back to looking at her book.
Bobby's smile disappeared as he watched her; he then walked away towards the science fiction section.
Jubilee watched him through her peripherals and listened as his footsteps got further away. In all honesty she was glad she had studying as an excuse. Bobby had indeed become friendlier now-a-days but she felt uncomfortable around him now. Who knows maybe his attempts were full of malice, maybe he was planning to humiliate her! Ok so maybe she was watching too much TV with Amara but it was a possibility! She suddenly heard footsteps coming towards her again, fearing that it was him she dug her face deep in her book.
She heard the chair next to her get pulled out and then felt the weight of someone's elbows on the table now. Before she could peek out of her book to see if it was Bobby, she got goose bumps and the hair in the back on her neck suddenly went up to. He didn't wear cologne but she recognized the smell around him. Yeah it sounds weird but she didn't know how to explain it, she just knew it was him.
Her almond shaped eyes peered out from behind her book and looked at the hands on the table. Shining slightly as light touched it the thunderbolt spike confirmed her thoughts. She kept looking at the wrist band making Ray lower his head down by his hand to get in her view.
"Hey…" he whispered.
Jubilee blushed as she looked into his blue orbs. She moved her view to his orange bangs to avoid looking into his eyes.
"Hi," she whispered and backed away a little. "So what are you doing here? I didn't know you knew where the library was," she said in a teasing manner.
"Well, if you must know I did get lost getting here," he answered with a smirk teasing back. She rolled her eyes and stared at him waiting for the answer. He shrugged, "Some as you," he answered and showed her his own math book.
"You have loud roommates too?"
"Hmm one in particular, has his girlfriend or whatever she is around a lot…by the looks of it though it looks like I didn't do a good job of avoiding him," he answered and looked at the sci-fi section. Jubilee didn't have to look to know who he was talking about. "So what's up? Is it ok if I join you?" he asked turning back to look at her.
"As long as you let me get some studying done," she answered with a smile.
"I need to study too; Mrs. Darkholme's class is the only one I actually pay attention in."
"You like Math?" she asked surprise.
"No, she's just the only teacher that tells me something. She's pretty scary, even Anna and Laura Lex keep their mischief to a minimum there."
Jubilee giggled and turned back to her book. Ray watched her carefully studying her. She was pretty cute when she studied; her forehead scrunched in as she thought about the problem and her pencil was tapping impatiently on her notepad. After finishing one of the problems she turned to him with an arched eyebrow. Ray hid his smile and opened his own book starting the first problem on the page.
A few aisles away blue eyes watched the pair annoyance showing plainly in his eyes.
"What's bothering you more, the fact that she's ignoring you or the fact that she seems to be into him?"
Robert Drake turned and looked at his short haired blond best friend, who looked at him annoyed. Bobby smirked, "Why? Feeling a little jealous?"
Tabitha Smith rolled her eyes, "You didn't answer my question. And jealous of what? That you're paying more attention to the whole freaking world or that she actually has a good shot at tall dark and handsome over there?" she asked with a smirk knowing that she was going to piss him off.
Bobby's eyed narrowed, "There's nothing great about him, and he just wears black. You must be blind…"
Tabitha walked up to him so that they're chests were touching. "No, you're blind," she stated a little anger in her voice. "Maybe if you stopped paying attention to a bunch of other girls that won't ever give you the time of day you would realize what you really have," she snared and then turned away from him making her exit out of the library.
He sighed as he watched her go. Tabitha was a very confusing girl, she flirted with all the guys he hang out with but god forbid that he do it. They were friends, close friends. She was one of the only people he confided with, at the same time though they took that friendship to another level by becoming friends with benefits. When they had talked about stepping it up to that phase they had specifically stated that that was all it was going to be. As of lately though it was starting to feel like more.
He turned back to stare at the small Asian girl next to the tall Goth boy. Jubilee was cute, but in all honesty what did annoy him was that she did seem to prefer that outcast more than him. If it weren't for that he probably wouldn't have tried talking to her again.
He sighed and looked around. He had come with Tabitha, Roberto and Vertigo put the other pair had disappeared so he started looking for them. He didn't have to look far though as the yell rang through the whole library.
"WHAT THE HELL BERTO! IS DRAMA CLASS THAT FUCKEN IMPORTANT THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN DITCH ONE CLASS TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND THAT MISSES YOU?"
Bobby winced at the loud shriek and made his way to the drama section of the library where they kept many of the books used in drama class.
"Vertigo stop, what are you complaining about I spend the whole fucken weekend with you," Roberto answered trying to keep his voice down while responding to her.
"Yeah and now you're making it sound like a chore," she answered with tears starting to form in her eyes.
"This is not the time or place for your dramatics," he stated looking around knowing that the whole library was staring at their direction.
"Why what's the problem? I though that's what you fucken love more," she answered.
"I'm not going to ditch drama so just drop it," he answered a little more harshly then he had intended.
"Fine," she answered angrily and turned to storm out of the building.
Roberto watched her. Bobby then made his way slowly to him.
"Come on let's get the hell out of here," his friend offered.
"No. I don't want to be anywhere near her right now. Go ahead and go," the dark skinned boy answered. Bobby turned to his friend to argue but saw the agitation in his eyes and reconsidered.
"I'll see you later than," he answered and left too.
Roberto sighed and looked around expecting everyone to still be looking at him. To his surprise there were only three pairs of eyes looking at him. The Liberian was throwing daggers at him with her eyes; the other two pair of eyes were much more warmer and familiar.
Ray and jubilee quickly shared a look before looking back to their books trying to pretend they hadn't seen anything. Seconds later though they felt another individual sit at their table.
"Hey…"
"HI," they both answered without looking up.
After a few minutes of silence Ray looked up and looked at his dark skinned drama classmate. In his hand was the 'west side story' play and his eyes were looking at a page but one could easily tell that his mind wasn't reading it.
"Drama is better in a book huh?" he asked.
Roberto smirked, "You can say that again," he answered and turned to look at Jubilee who was working on a math problem. He opened his mouth a bit hesitant to ask, but finally he let the words out. "Where's Amara?"
Jubilee looked up with a smile, "Watching soap opera's, guess drama in a book isn't the only kind of drama she likes. I should text her, I bet she'd want to join us," she added and took her phone out.
"No that's ok," Roberto stated interrupting her text. "Let's not interrupt her fun. I was just wondering," he answered with a shrug. "I'll see her in class tomorrow,' he added and went back to looking through the play.
Jubilee smirked and shared a look with Ray before both went back to their math problems.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Sometime Later O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
Anna looked through the thick glass showcasing a beautiful orange, black stripped tiger with two cubs. At the moment she and Remy were at The American Museum of History. They had gone through Madame Tussunds museum in less than two hours and had ended up here, even though Remy had wanted their next trip to be The Museum of Sex.
Her response to that was, "Ah not legal" to which he responded, "I am…I'll be yo guardian non?" This comment awarded him a punch on the arm and he moped as he followed her to where they were now.
"Y' know that tigers are lone rangers? The meres bring up their own cubs up until 2 years and then dey leave mom alone too, the pere's never around," he stated smartly interrupting her train of thought.
Anna smirked at Remy, "Which panel did you read that off?"
He smirked back, " 'ey I can know stuff," he answered.
She gave him a skeptical look.
He laughed, "I watch the animal planet channel…well guess I should say Kurt makes us watch it mais daccord it also says it there," he stated and pointed at the panel under one of the cubs.
"Thought so," Anna answered while Remy took a look at his phone.
"It's getting late. Should we find somewhere ta eat and call it a night?" he asked.
"Yeah, sounds good tah meh," she answered looking away from the exhibit.
"Daccord, gimmie a minute though," he answered and made his way towards the restroom that was near the exit. Before he reached the door though, something fell out of his pocket and landed with a loud crack on the floor. "Merde!"
"Ah got it," she answered picking up his phone and letting him continue.
"Merci," he answered and disappeared.
While he was away Anna took a good look at his phone to make sure it hadn't gotten damaged. After she confirmed that it was fine she opened the part that opened to reveal what looked like PlayStation controls.
'Wow, this is pretty cool,' she thought to herself and closed the phone back up. She then pushed a button on the top that showed his screen saver. She expected to see a picture of him and Jean cuddling cutely towards the camera like most love struck fools. Instead she found a picture of what looked like a playing card, the ace of spades with a grim reaper in the center.
Before she could touch anything else on the phone it started vibrating, the sound of Adema's 'Giving in to You' played and a picture of Jean smiling popped up on the screen. She looked up at the restroom door almost waiting for it to open immediately. When it didn't she looked back to the phone and looked at the two buttons under Jean's picture, accept or decline.
She smirked, 'Ah'll never have this chance again so ah bettah take advantage' and with that last though she pressed accept.
"Hello?"
"Hello…who's this!"
"Ah'm sorrah but yah called this phone, who's this?"
"…" there was silence on the other line but Anna knew she hadn't hang up, she could hear the breathing.
"Hello?"
"Tell Remy that we're going to be having a very serious talk tomorrow."
"Ah'll make sure he gets the…" Anna looked at the phone as she heard the dial tone. "Message," she mumbled to herself. She smirked, 'That wasn't tah bad…"
As the phone went back to stand by Remy came out of the rest room making Anna's smirk somewhat diminish. She wanted to hurt Jean and she was succeeding. At the beginning she didn't care who was going to get hurt in the crossfire, but now that she was getting to know the young man in front of her she wasn't sure she still felt that way.
"Y' ok chere? Y' look out of it," Remy asked looking at her.
"Ah'm fiahne," she answered and returned his phone.
"Merci, lets get going," he stated taking the phone and walking out of the room. She followed closely behind biting her lips as she tried deciding if she was going to tell him about the call.
Thirty minutes later they found themselves waiting in line to be seated at restaurant called, 'Southern Hospitality'.
Anna smiled as she breathed in the food smell.
"Our kind of place huh?" Remy asked with a smile as he watched her. When they had left the museum he had noted that she was being a bit distant and quiet, but now that they were in a louder place that cold front was slowly disappearing.
"A little, but ah'm sure it won't compare tah the real thing," she answered.
"True, dere's an idea though non?"
"What?"
"Let's go to New Orleans."
"What? When?"
Remy thought about it, "Mardi Gras…we'll take de the others too."
"Yahr crazy," she answered with a slight smile.
He laughed, "Porqoui? An I'm not kidding let's do it."
"Taking meh an hour away from school ain't tah bad, taking me liahke 7 states away? Mah mom would kill yah."
Remy kept stopped laughing and smiled at her, "Dink about it chere…"
Before she could answer there was a loud, "REMY FOR TWO".
The both then silently followed the greeter; she was a pretty blond with a skinny body and big bust. Anna walked in front of Remy when they had been called earning her a frown from the blond girl. Noticing this Anna turned to look at Remy with a perked eyebrow.
He chuckled smoothly, his breath very close to her ear and he leaned forward to whisper huskily, "I'm not doing anything." If he had kept his eyes on her movements instead of looking at her hair he would have noticed that she came to an abrupt stop making him crash into her.
"Fuck…" she heard the small whisper.
"Quoi?" he asked looking up. "Merde…" he stated seeing what she was seeing.
A pair of brown eyes was looking at them in surprise; that look though quickly turned to anger as the eyes narrowed.
"ANNA MARIE DARKHOLME!"
Anna sighed, "Ah hate the full name shout," she mumbled so only Remy could hear as they walked closer to the booth the greeter was pointing to. In front of that booth was another booth and inside that booth was her mother standing up glaring at her.
"What are you doing here?"
"Ah could ask yah the same question," she answered smartly. Anna then looked over to see who her mom was with. She expected it to be a female acquaintance; maybe another teacher from school but she was surprised to see a man in a dark blue suit, white hair and gray bluish eyes. Her eyes widened a bit, "Oh mah gosh eww, are yah on a date?" she asked.
"Anna…" Raven started.
"Eww, eww, EWW, ah'm so sorrah we're just gonna go ahead and go," Anna stated looking at the greeter. She then turned around took Remy's hand and dragged him outside.
Raven started to follow but was stopped when a hand grabbed her. "Let her go Raven, teenagers will be teenagers. She's just over reacting."
"But what if something…"
"She'll be fine. She came here in one piece I'm sure she'll get back to academy in one piece too. Anyway wasn't that Remy Lebeau with her?"
"You know him?" Raven asked sitting back down.
"He play's on the football team with Pietro. And as a founder for 'Xavier's Academy of Prominent Children' it is my job to know its students. Including the MVP."
"Be that as it may, I know him as well. I've only been teaching him for four years now."
"So why are you worried?"
"Because he's a playboy! And now he's out there with my daughter!"
Eric smirked, "If you're daughter is anything like you, you don't have much to worry about…"
"And what does that mean?"
"She can take care of herself; can we go back to dinner now?"
Raven sighed, "Fine," and with that she took a sip of her gumbo, but Eric noticed that she was now frequently checking her phone.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O 2B Dorm 2 O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
Crystal walked into her dorm; she was just getting back from being with Pietro. She was ecstatic that they were back on but she couldn't help but feel that there were some changes. Her puppy dog faces she would make to get her way no longer worked. He wasn't as cuddly as he was back then either and sometimes she would speak and she would have to repeat herself because he hadn't been listening to her. None of that really mattered though, she thought to herself, because he was still hers.
Her smile faded though when she noticed that all the girls were surrounding Jeans bed.
"What's wrong?" she asked getting closer. Jean was lying face down on her bed with face in her pillow. Her hands were grabbing her covers in a not so nice way.
"You missed the show luv…" came the whisper next to her. Crystal turned to look at Elizabeth who in turned pointed towards the opposite wall and at the floor where there laid a sparkly pink phone case; the iphone next to it was face up with the screen shattered.
"What happened?' she whispered back only to get her arm pulled away and dragged further away from the bed.
"It has to do with Remy," Emma whispered. "He went MIA again without telling her, and she called him…"
"And he didn't answer again? That guy, how stupid can he be?"
"Oh no…there was an answer," Emma answered taking a glimpse at Jean as if hoping that she couldn't hear her.
"O…k…and?"
"Hmm…it wasn't Remy who answered."
"Then who…"
There was a muffled scream that made both blondes look towards the bed. Vertigo who had been sitting on the bed jumped up and walked towards them.
Crystal looked at her friend with a perked eyebrow noticing how messed up her mascara was. "What the hell happened to you?"
"Long story, we can talk about it later," Vertigo answered and looked back to Jean who had now thrown the pillow towards the wall, which just happened to miss hitting Betts by an inch.
"Fuck watch where you're throwing luv…I know you're upset but I gotta say you're lucky that missed," Betts stated darkly looking at the pillow then turning to the red head.
Emma turned and looked at Elizabeth with narrowed eyes at the comment, everyone else though either didn't hear the comment or chose to ignore.
"He is with that stupid, skunk headed, clown faced, wrist cutting whore bag!" she shouted.
"What? How do you know?"
"Cause she answered the fucken phone Crystal!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm fucken sure, I can recognize that stupid accent of hers."
"Well, where are they?" she asked.
"I don't fucken know. I hung up on her and then that happened to my phone."
"She sure says the F word a lot when she's pissed huh?" Betts commented trying to hide her smile. Everyone ignored her yet again.
"So what are you going to do? You don't have a phone now are you going to go way for him at his room?"
"No, if I saw him now it wouldn't go well. Maybe I'll just go visit Scott," she answered lying back down on her bed.
"You'll have to wait well past midnight, make sure now one see's you. Not even his roommates."
She threw her hand up as if dismissing them. "I will and it will be fine and he will make this better…but her…I need a fucken solution to keep him away from her."
"I'm sorry to ask but what's the big deal about them being mates again?"
All the girls stayed quiet, not because they didn't want to answer, but now that they thought about it they weren't so sure why it was a bad thing. It wasn't like Remy was cheating on Jean or anything like that. He had straight out told Jean that Anna was going to be his friend. The only other reason would have to just be that Jean really hated the girl, and the others followed because, well Jean was their best friends.
"I mean, is she threating in any way?"
"I want you guys to leave now…and start thinking of a way to help keep her away from him," she answered ignoring the question.
They walked away from the bed and left Jean alone. Emma kept her eyes on Elizabeth studying her, and it didn't go unnoticed.
"I'm sorry; I honestly didn't think it was such a bad question to ask."
"Right," Emma answered. "Oh well what'd done is done. Tomorrow is going to be a big mess so maybe we should leave," she stated and started walking outside. Betts nodded and followed.
Vertigo and Crystal sighed; it sure was going to be a bad day with an angry Jean around.
"So planning on telling me what happened to you?" Crystal asked turning to her.
"Roberto and all guys at that are scum," she started and then continued to tell her about the incident earlier on that day.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O Later – Outside Building 2B -o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
"Well that wasn to bad," Remy stated dropping his McDonalds cup in the trash.
Anna looked at him and smirked. "No it wasn't, lets recap shall we. Yah woke meh up hella early, yah didn't have anything planned, we went to a wax museum where yah made meh take a picture of yah grabbing beyonce's ass, you then tried tah get meh tah go into a sex museum, after that we went tah see fossils, then yah promised yummy southern food but instead ah found my mom with a man probably on a date so we resorted to McDonalds…"
"Well, when y' say it like that."
Anna couldn't hold in her laughter and soon Remy joined her too. "Ah'm kidding. Ah really did have fun..."
"C'est bon, I had fun too," he answered looking down at her.
"Well…ah guess ah'll be seeing yah…"
"Oui," he answered and then surprised them both by giving her a kiss on the check. After the moment Remy's mouth opened like a fish out of water, realizing what he had just done. Anna's eyes also widened. "Uh…"
"It's fiahne," she cut him off seeing that he was having difficulty getting words out. "Good night…" and with that she started walking into the building, he's eyes not leaving her figure until she was completely gone.
Anna walked into her dorm less than five minutes later. Once inside she gave a loud sigh and was happy to see that no one had noticed her. Like the prior week all the girls were in front of the TV watching a scary movie.
"How was it?" Wanda asked without looking back at her.
Anna stared at the back of their heads with a dazed expression. The silence soon made Laura Lex turn her head and look at Anna was a questioning look.
"It went perfect" Anna answered forcing a smile. She then proceeded in walking up the stairs slowly. When she reached her bed she threw herself on it and touched her cheek.
'It seems this is getting a bit more complicated than what ah wanted…'
"Hey…"
Anna sat on her bed abruptly and looked into the curious hazel eyes.
"Hey."
Laura Lex made sat on Anna's bed, her eyes never leaving hers. "Something happen?" she asked.
"No, why would yah ask that?"
Laura kept her intense gaze on her, "You may be hanging out with Jean's play toy a lot lately but I am still your best friend; you look a little flushed…anyway you ready?" she asked changing the subject.
Anna smirked, best friend indeed, she silently thanked her for dropping the subject.. "Ready for what?"
"Tonight." Anna looked at her indifferently making her blue haired friend scoff, "Are you fucking kidding me? Mystery note person ring a bell?"
"SHIT!"
"Shit is correct…" Lexa answered and got off the bed. "Come on, let's go finish this movie before we get ready."
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O 10 mins before Midnight -o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
"Are you sure we should be wearing this?" Laura Lex asked.
"What's wrong with just wearing our PJ's? Did yah wanna wear something else?" Anna asked rolling her eyes.
"Well, wouldn't we get around better if we wore all black?"
"Sure James Bond," Anna answered walking towards the door.
"I'm serious, plus what if this person is a perv! We look pretty hot in PJ's you know?" she argued pointing to Wanda.
Anna perked an eyes brow at Wanda who shrugged.
"I don't really care. If this person has caught onto to what's going on I believe it's a girl. Guys aren't so bright when it comes to evil plotting."
"It's settled, now hurry up."
Laura Lex frowned.
"Are you sure you don't want us to go too?" Amara asked.
"No, the note just asked forh two sidekicks. Don't wanna scare them by being too many."
"You should at least put on a sweater or something," Jubilee stated looking from Wanda to Laura.
"I'm fine, I doubt this will take too long," Wanda answered shrugging. She was wearing a dark burgundy night gown that stopped right above the knee. The nightgown it's self wasn't revealing at all but the way it fit the young girl left little to the imagination as it hugged all her curves.
Anna looked down at herself, "Ah'm fiahne." She was wearing loose hunter green plaid pajama bottoms and a tight light green button up long sleeved shirt. The first few buttons were open showing her creamy white skin.
"I'm too lazy to get one now, let's just get this shit over with already, and we gotta go now or we're gonna be late," Laura Lex answered and opened their dorm room a crack. The three then disappeared into the dark hallway.
"She's gonna regret that, it seems cold out there," Jubilee told Amara when they were gone.
Amara smirked, "Leave her sexy ass alone. Come one we might as well get ready for bed. I doubt they'll be gone for long so there is no point in waiting."
Jubilee shook her head, her mind still thinking about Laura's skimpy pj's which consisted of a dark blue tank top with a thick lacy trim at the top and bottom of the shirt, along with matching dark blue boy shorts that barely made it to midthigh on her toned legs.
"Well if she gets a cold it's on her."
Five minutes later the three Goths found themselves surrounded by darkness getting closer to the empty storage shed.
"Ow…you stepped on me," Lexa yelled.
"Shut up or you'll get us caught," Wanda answered not caring that she had indeed stepped on the younger girl.
Anna turned and glared at both of them making them get quiet. When Anna turned back around they shared a quick smirk before following her. Soon they were in front of the dark compartment. The area was all quiet but they did notice that the door to the storage room was open.
"Well…where are they?"
Anna rolled her eyes, "Ah came with yah not whoever we're waiting forh, how the hell am ah suppose tah know?"
Before Wanda or Laura Lex could answer they stayed quiet and looked at the darkness inside the empty building.
"Is that…"
"Voices? Sure sounds like it," Wanda answered Laura Lex's question. She then looked at Anna, "Does that mean we go in?"
Anna looked into the room from where she was standing to the best of her abilities. If it was voices they were hearing they were coming from the building but they also sounded distant. "Ah don't think we have a choice…whoever it was who wanted us here is probably in there. Plus it guarantees we won't get seen right?" she answered and slowly started making her way in.
Wanda quickly followed into the darkness. Laura Lex though didn't move until Wanda came back out with a smirk, "What? You scared of the dark?"
Laura frowned, "I have a bad feeling," she answered.
"Like a scared feeling?" Wanda teased.
"Like a we're being watched feeling," she answered.
"You're just being paranoid," Wanda answered and disappeared again.
Laura Lex looked around before reluctantly following. If her eyes had adjusted to the moonlight a little better she would have noticed the shadow that was getting closer to them.
Inside Anna was walking slowly due to the room being so dark. She noted that the room was no longer empty but had boxes piled up, the reason she knew was because she was feeling all the edges of those boxes. Behind her Wanda was following close behind and the young red tipped girl frowned as she felt Laura Lex kept stepping on her.
"Sorry," Laura Lex whispered, "I can't see shit."
"Join the club," Anna responded as her hand touched in front of her to assure she wasn't going to hit anything. At first all she was feeling was the boxes so she kept moving out of their way not wanting to bump into them. As she sighed ready to give up and turn back her hands met with something soft and warm. She held her breath as whatever she was touching moved.
Since she had stopped without saying anything Wanda walked into her and Laura Lex soon walked into her too.
"What's the hold up?" Laura asked.
"Ah don't think we're alone anymore…" Anna answered getting goose bumps on her arm which had yet to move from the soft warm object.
Soon her thoughts were confirmed as a small orange light appeared out of nowhere making the three girls jump up and back away slowly in surprise. As their eyes adjust Laura Lex's eyes narrowed, Wanda's eyebrow perked and Anna kept a cool.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Laura Lex and another individual yelled out in unison.
Wanda looked from the light flame to the individual holding the zippo lighter, her mind wandering the same question.
"Looks like we be seeing each other a lot sooner den we both expected chere…"
"Ah guess so," Anna answered looking up at Remy Lebeau.
'BANG!'
The six heads snapped to the storage rooms door that suddenly closed shut. They stayed quiet and heard some clicking but after a few seconds everything got quiet.
"Mates…what was that?" John asked.
Wanda sighed, "I think that was the door locking…"
There was one loud, "Merde!" followed by two "Shit!"s and two "Fuck"s.
O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O To Be Continued -o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O
Mwahahahahaahah…wait…what? Why are the boys at the empty storage room? Who was watching the girls go into the storage room? Anyone confused? Well I'm not lol. And you won't be either next chapter. Let's see what did we have in this chap…angry Jean, added some magstique and some bobitha, and of course our loveable ships…
